In a few moments, the most important debate for the most important election ever begins.

I will fulfill my civic duty and watch, ruining an impressive but unhealthy streak of ghost shows.

Join me on this adventure.

I think she listened to the negative feedback of people not knowing who the hell she was except for "that person who hates Trump for hating everyone like her" (i.e. brown, female, smart, and over 30)

Well there was a hell of a lot less mention of Trump than last time, so, progress++?

If this were an election for school principal, I would put her at #1. But I think she's being upstaged in this race.

Unless they're paid to, I don't really believe many people do. There's the first half hour that people might watch then the highlights that are put together by those who are paid to watch it so the rest of us don't have to.

Finally caught up and watched the debates... Felt like 2.5 hours full of "here's why any of us is a fine choice to represent Democrat ideals". And, perhaps that's for the best. At this point, well over a year out, it's all about staying in the public eye without saying anything stupid.

It could have been 2.5 hours or slagging each other off about who hates Trump the most, who's going to forgive the most student debt, who's handing out the most slavery reparations, and who will ban the shit out of guns the hardest, with everyone scratching at each other's eyes. There was even less playing to the audience this time around (though still plenty).

Dailyquote:
"The NATO charter clearly says that any attack on a NATO member shall be treated, by all members, as an attack against all. So that means that, if we attack Greenland, we'll be obligated to go to war against ... ourselves! Gee, that's scary. You really don't want to go to war with the United States. They're insane!"
