I feel like this is a smart move by Donald because we’re still in this fugue state where we’re almost certain Kamala is the nominee but we’re not even sure, and the DNC is literally 3 weeks away with the actual election fast approaching lmao. Nobody has seen Kamala on the campaign trail, people barely know her and the debate would be giving her added publicity.

On the other hand it might be a good thing for her, noone knows her so she’s just some generic Dem candidate vs bigbad baby that you can just VoteBlue for

People keep saying this, but I remember her sounding as bad as the other 2. Either because she is always high as fuck or a particularly bad case of long covid. Being a successful prosecutor does not mean you have the debating skills of Cicero, it mean the states machinery is working to fuck over some random kid and you take credit for it.

That makes sense, he does seem high.

Seriously, we already saw her in debates.

Her only moment that broke through was when she called Biden a racist, and now there's a video clip of her saying that nothing she says in debates actually means anything while laughing.

Don’t forget, “Um, Mr. Vice-president? I’m speaking.” Libs were quoting that stupid comment for at least a week after that.

It really is frustrating to watch this shit and be like "what baby brained dumbass is this horseshit working on?"

And then the next monologue on Colbert is "kamala slay-ris spills the tea" with 10 million views.

Although I'm one of the views so maybe the masochist demo is being under accounted for.
