MODERATORS
I mean, that’s the opinion of the author. I hope they speak for a majority of voters, but there’s nothing in the article to suggest it. In fact, it requires a little bit of consideration, something woefully lacking in the electorate.
The reports I got about the vp debate from actual viewers were that it was no knock-out, not even a clear win which means it was effectively a loss or - at best - a draw.
Don’t coast for a single second - evil billionaires are winning. We get ONE SHOT and then it’s off to wherever we voted.
I agree with that. It didn't feel like a win, it felt like a draw. It felt like Vance wriggled and wormed his way out of answering anything, and Walz was overly charitable.
I get that's how Walz is—he's the nice dad—but nobody will remember that he was nice (except neurodivergent people like me). People want clear winners, and they'll remember that neither of them won, and that's a problem if you're trying to energize your base to turn out to vote.
You know I was going to make a joke that it probably didn't work cuz no one watches vice presidential debates, but then I looked it up and it's 43 million? What the fuck is wrong with us?
Nothing is wrong with us. We all know there's a lot at stake, and at least 43mil are taking voting seriously.
If someone bases their vote off of the vice presidential debate they are not taking their vote seriously.
True, but I would imagine those people are few. The 43mil are probably mostly people who have already made their decision.
