…
She set a tone at the very start when she walked right into his space to shake his hand and made him almost pull back into himself in response. She was in charge and never stopped being in charge.
Harris also managed what neither Joe Biden nor Hillary Clinton nor any of the 2016 Republicans managed to do which is successfully bait Donald Trump and get under his skin. Within a few minutes Trump was visibly angry and not in a way that empowered him but in a way that made him lose focus, go down rabbit holes and generally go off onto damaging tangents. Spittle anger, not righteous anger, shall we say.
Kamala Harris dominated the debate despite the fact that she was given about 5 minutes less time to speak!
It’s disappointing to see how the media invariably accommodates Trump. Contrary to the rules of the debate, when Trump continued talking after his time was up or demanded to respond to a point Harris made, they often let him by not muting his microphone. This added up to right around 5 minutes of extra speaking time on prime time television for him to spew his lies. The one time Harris tried the same thing she was shut down by the moderators. If there is any silver lining here it’s that Trump probably made his debate performance worse by talking more!
I was glad to see some push back and fact checking by the moderators in regards to Trump’s most egregious lies. Today MAGA is complaining that the debate was rigged and the moderators were against Trump due to the fact checks while they should be thanking ABC for the special treatment that allowed Trump extra air time.
Go Harris/Walz!
And she didn’t even put up with that. She just waited until her next turn, went back, said her part, and then answered the new question. Trump was basically incoherent by comparison
And she only did it to counter a bold face lie he said about herself.
Not 10 minutes before she stated that she did not ban fracking, will not ban fracking and made the tie breaking vote in favor of fracking.
But he still says “shes going to ban fracking if elected” like dude WTH. Are you paying attention?
And I, for one, would love it if she actually banned fracking. But that’s not an argument that Trump World can make.
Its definetly a controversial subject.
I think it’s a hot issue for many working class citizens due to the results of creating more American jobs and lowering gas prices.
On the other side of the issue is climate risks and feeding our reliance on fossil fuels.
Edit:
Yeah keep downvoting me without adding to the conversation. I haven’t said I was one way or the other. Just providing an article for education on the subject and speculating on why people are on both sides.
To state my opinion. I’m against fracking. Against ICE vehicle subsidies (fuck these huge pick up trucks). Also for nuclear power.
On one side! The world dying! On the other, a couple people’s jobs that can be replaced by green sector jobs!
What a massively hard decision.
We all know in a capitalist society there are people who only see short term. They care about themselves and not the future.
That means billionaires that only care about making the line go up. Increasing their own wealth. Hoarding it like greedy little lepricons.
That means working class that wants cheap gas and more jobs.
All at the cost of the planet and the future of all life on the planet.
It’s also poisoning our water
No. He is in Bizarro World 24/7 and will not have anyone, let alone a woman, tell him otherwise.
It was very disappointing, even though it was pretty much as expected. They even let Trump talk over and interrupt the moderators!
CNN should take some notes. That’s what moderators are supposed to do.
Nah they still are teeball amateurs compared to Kyle Clark.
On the other hand, she actually originally requested his mic not be muted, probably because she knew he’d hang himself.
