I hate blaming the refs, but it is extremely annoying that the moderators want to """fact check""" Trump but not Kamala.

Back in 2016, Trump faced the same moderator hostility and still managed a better performance.

That "moderator" comment after Trump's abortion comments seemed out-of-place, I agree.

Note: Is it normal for candidates to say "Hell" in their debates? Maybe it always has been.

It’s also just a straight up lie- not every state requires a baby’s life to be saved when born alive after an abortion.

Wasn't the point the "after 9 months/full term?" I don't recall but that was how I was following it. Very possibly I'm wrong. I agree what you're saying here is relevant and is exactly what he should have been prepared with.

It almost feels like he has trouble recalling things that aren’t a narrative.

He could recall Northam’s keep them comfortable quote, even if at first he thought he was the former governor of West Virginia.

But if it’s nerd shit like Walz changing the wording of their born alive law to require that care be rendered, but not life saving care, well he’s just not going to remember that.

I have the opposite problem, my autobiographical memory is shit but I’m great on technical details of complex systems.

Recently "hell" and "damn" have become a way for politicians to signal anger. It's really annoying.

The VP candidates in particular seem to be breaking some of the seven words you can't say on television barriers. Vance and Walz are constantly saying politicians don't give a shit about the Midwest, or that people should mind their own damn business.

It’s really hella annoying.

They were straight up providing their own arguments. Which they are not supposed to do. I'm getting Trump-Hillary vibes from this so far.
