God help us all, Amy Schumer is part of this. Lots of folks will be calling "Earl" and "Ralph" if so. I'd money whip her until she put those clothes back on. lol

Win goes to Pence.  VP choice / debate doesn’t typically move the needle.  
 

perhaps that’s different when the presidential candidates have COVID and demesne (allegedly).

I've had an observation for some time, but it really hit home in this debate. Democrats, when defending their platform, rely on 2 things almost exclusively: 

1. You're a racist.  For years they insinuated this, but now they come right out and say it. 

2. “You don't care about people.”  If you don’t agree it’s because, you don’t care like me / we do.  

They don't defend the effectiveness of their policies, only that you're racist or heartless if you don't agree.  

This is known as an ad hominem attack, and in years gone by was considered the lowest form of debate - only used in desperation.  Now we have a political party that relies on it almost exclusively.   

Biden literally said "you're a racist" in the debate.  Kamala wasn't quite as direct but came darn close.  

I think politics is a battle for about 20% of the voting population that votes but pays almost zero attention to what's going on.  And ad hominem works on these people.  

It also causes division and hatred both ways.

Good governor. Stupid liberal prosecutor. The 2nd Amendment gives Americans a right to defend themselves. If Harris/Biden gets elected they will most definitely try to take that away. Biden wants to send a psychologist to ride with police and defuse the situation. Have you ever heard of a dumber idea in your life? What psychologist would want to take that job and they make alot of money so how would he pay them? Oh yea I forgot he’s going to raise taxes so maybe he’ll be able to pay ??. You can’t make this stuff up. If Trump came out with an idea like that he would be bashed to death from the media but Biden said it and you hardly even hear about it.

Joe Biden's lies are legendary. He's still the same dishonest plagiarist he was 33 years ago.

Sleepy Joe and Willie's Ho should be an R-rated sitcom on HBO or Cinemax, not the DNC's presidential ticket
