I like your analysis. Sorta wish it were about the Academy Awards and the fashion choices you so expertly detail. But no…we’re still in this magma. JD made me shiver, Get Out the Vote indeed.
Vance being appalling and sick is separate from how little this debate matters. I know we disagree, but no one has written about the debate in 2-3 days, and we’re talking MSM that will rake anyone over the coals for anything, even made up shit. The fact is, VP debates don’t matter, the most polarizing VP candidate had the biggest change immediately after the debate and that was Palin dropping McCain by 4 points. Kamala didn’t change Biden’s race at all, and people are pretty evenly divided about Walz and Vance. Because the people who privileged people, esp those of us in CA where we have zero influence on national elections, rely on to vote blue arent watching this debate and don’t care about the VP other than he’s not an overt racist asshole. In fact, the people we need to vote for Walz LOVE his humanity including his flubs. I just don’t think I have any say in whether or not he did well when he’s not targeting me and those he is love him.
Truth. All of it. But Harris campaign is EXCELLENT at great ads with soundbites and they are circulating some powerful ones where it counts. Painful debate, but we’re going to win and that’s what counts. They know how to pivot and are running a stellar campaign.

I really, really hope you're right. I've been wrong about plenty and would love to be again.

They've run an excellent campaign! Here's hoping we can all keep our feet on the gas and bring this one home!
Oh it’s coming home!!!!
I agree with you 100%
I didn’t want to read this, but I’m glad I did. You are right.
I am still cringing, unfortunately.
Yes, Vance is an appalling, slick, snarky, shapeshifter. But that's what they need.
Oof
