Vice Presidential Debate Megapost! Tue, 10/1/2024
Final (?) Debate thread before the election in 35 days.
Debate begins at 9 PM Eastern, 6 PM Pacific and runs 90 minutes.
Vice Presidential debates are always tricky since nobody has voted for Vice President in living memory.
Expect Vance to attack Walz on his military service.
Expect Walz to attack Vance on the whole "immigrants eating cats and dogs" thing.
Expect Vance to attack Walz on being an assistant coach, at best.
Expect Walz to roll out "Weird!" at least once.
CBS has announced the burden of fact checking will be on the candidates themselves.

You're viewing a single thread.
I'll be asleep which I suppose I should be thankful for (I've already voted by mail as an overseas voter). I'm still disappointed about the whole fact-check thing.
The fact checking of the last debate really made it stand out. It felt like the debate served an actual purpose as opposed to just hearing what amounted to a mini rally for the candidates.
This is a huge disappointment to me, as now there is no need to defend any of their comments. It's basically just a campaign ad.
