Trump has refused to do the next debate because they changed it to virtual. I'm grateful that I don't have to endure another one. It wouldn't be so unwatchable if they had competent moderation, and shock collars.
Where's the praising and extolling of my virtues? Where's the love?

I saw a comment that the fly spent more time on Pence's head than he spent on the pandemic.

I've been seeing polls that men are about evenly divided on the debate, but women overwhelmingly sided with Harris.
Gee, who could have predicted that women across the country might find common ground with a female candidate being frustrated with a man interrupting, speaking over, and condescending to her when she's trying to explain her views? Certainly not Pence or whoever helped him come up with his debate strategy.

My great aunt Carmella passed away this week. She was 92, and it isn't a big shock but she was kind and wonderful and will be missed. Of course no one on my father's side of the family thought to inform me. Mom called after she read it in the paper. She was an Italian who married into the Irish side of my family and I loved going to her house as a kid not just because she was so warm and welcoming but because I knew there would be food I would like.

I'm sorry, sj.
I did not watch the debate. I occasionally checked out KB Spangler's twitter feed, as she does good recaps of that kinda thing. Her thread starts here: [link]

Is there a reliable source of how much time each candidate spent speaking? I was googling earlier but couldn't find it.

I'm pretty sure Pence spoke over her or the moderator more than Harris did.

I'm sorry for your loss, sj. Wonderful aunts are treasures.
I didn't watch the debate; I've voted, and I just can't make myself do it. Maybe if I had a valium scrip or something, but I don't.
