Thoughts on the debate? - eviltoast

CBS refusing to fact check was a travesty, but at least they still called Vance out on the immigrant bullshit.

    I feel way better about Walz. Strong debate performance even if it isn’t his forte. The ending where Vance got his leg in the beartrap of Jan 6 and could not answer why Mike Pence was not on stage instead of him (because Mike Pence is not a suck up) was shocking to see. Dude did not practice for that question at all, lmfao.

    I also chuckled when Vance basically argued to Walz that the Infrastructure act and the inflation reduction act were good things. No shit shirlock, that’s why Biden-Harris implemented them. It brought back American jobs and have rekindled diminished, rust belt states with new factories and infrastructure.

    Vance came across as kinda whiny and petulant, Walz made strong points and really defined policy specifics.

    Next debate, CBS needs to do way more aggressive fact-checking. ABC had way better fact-checking, but it still could have been way better. Vance walked all over CBS with his lying and taking credit for Biden and Obama administration Ws.

      Absolutely. Unfortunately it doesn’t look like there’s gonna be another debate this time 'round (weird since they both seem to think they did so well)

      Also, Good ol’ Marjorie Taylor Greene tweeted that it was a 3 on 1 debate. Thought that was funny.

      I almost agree with her lol
