I hate to be the pessimist in the room but I think tonight's debate is a really really bad idea, and I want to go on the record about that before it happens.

I hate to be the pessimist in the room but I think tonight's debate is a really really bad idea, and I want to go on the record about that before it happens. It's not that I don't have faith in Harris' debate skills or her abilities as a prosecutor. It's that she:
1. Is fundamentally playing by a different rulebook than the fascist
2. Does not have the tools of the courtroom on her side.These two facts give the fascist room to just lie and lie and lie with zero repercussions. And even when she points out the lie, the fascist still wins. Because the goal of the fascist isn't to win a fair and honest debate. It's to erode the public trust in systems like debates and government itself.

@Lana and she'll get criticized for things like "being too prepared" and "laughing"

Right. The media will spend fucking hours and great emphasis on totally irrelevant "points" and hot takes that are both incredibly stupid and absurdly biased in favor of the fascist -

Here's what I think the outcome of this debate will be.
- Trump will lie
- Kamala will point out the lies
- The press will repeat those lies, because they think that's journalism
- Kamala will be criticized for "being too prepared" or "laughing too much" or some made up shit
- Nobody in the mainstream press will report that Trump is deranged, incoherent, and a danger to democracyI hope I'm wrong.
