Every article I read speculating on the debate brought up Walz' response to the Minnesota protests but it didn't even come up unless I missed it? I was half expecting JD's closing statement to try and attack Tim on it, also half expecting it to turn into a pitch to sign up for Truth and Rumble

Much the shit predicted wasn't mentioned. Military records of each guy, the word "weird", blah
I guess I shouldn’t be surprised. Walz gave good answers about 90% of the time but definite dodged a few. Vance, otoh, made shit up constantly and harped on fear topics. Always about the border, blaming Harris for policy she wasn’t responsible for, and offering up an economy that the republicans have zero plans to create.

Walz suddenly appears in the followup.
housing is up 60%?!?
It's really annoying that JD had a valid point about economic experts being wrong about pushing neoliberalism. That really weakened Walz'es otherwise great point that we should be listening to the experts about climate change and allowed the couchfucker to push the "follow common sense" bullshit.
Walz answer was really good.
lol what “experts” said that? You mean greedy business executives? Pretty sure they aren’t considered experts.
Mic cut
ok JD we get it your kids are beautiful
You mean like the fucking bill Trump killed!? Ok i am done. I’ve seen enough
What the fuck does empowering the border agents mean? They are doing their jobs.
Is that what he thinks trump is saying or is that what he knows his running mate his saying?
folks folks folks
I think they're both full of shit about the ACA. Vance delivered lies and a nothing burger of a proposal. Walz said the system works. Pre and post trump it never worked. When it was mandatory, I was on the benefits cliff and couldn't afford the awful insurance that covered nothing (that also had an enormous deductible). I missed rent because of my state mandated health insurance. When trump made it voluntary, I had more money in my pocket and I still couldn't afford healthcare.
The ACA is fucked and needs to be replaced with a real socialized health system. Health insurance is corrupt and contrary to healthcare on a fundamental level. It should be abolished and outlawed.

Ouch on calling other parts of the world dirty
And yet you somehow turned out to be a gross little shit
I need Vance’s makeup artist
But seriously , why is he dodging the question?
Vance has only been speaking for a few minutes and it already looks like he has robot hands.

That was a weirdly meandering non-answer.
