Very concerning that JD Vance will not admit to the fact that Donald Trump lost the 2020 election. That right there is reason enough to vote for Harris/Walz. Principle over party. Every time.

I was so glad they finally did that. Need to set the bar and expectations.

There is a QR code to a site where staffers will be fact checking. I think they are counting on people following the fact check on their phone while watching the debate on CBS. I honestly don’t think it is possible to fact check in real time. The debate would be 12 hours long.

By fact-checking, you mean calling out lies? It would be super easy. Just a quick, “no, that’s not true.”

How about someone standing next to them (like an interpreter) holding up a paddle that says, “Lie!”

I made it through the first questions. I can’t watch this. It won’t change my mind and it is super cringe.

You are right. Walz misspoke. He was so nervous, he made me nervous.
