I, too, would love to watch Harris curbstomp Trump again
I’m all for it, but got better things to do besides watch it happen.
Fortunately, whether you watch or not has zero effect on the outcome of the debate
My not watching has a huge positive effect on me. Of that I’m sure. As a kid I was taught to read, so I read the transcripts.
While a majority favor a second Harris-Trump debate, the poll also found a sharp party split between those who want to see this happen. Among registered voters who prefer Harris, 71 percent hope to see another debate, a figure which drops to only 45 percent among those who prefer Trump.
Awfully telling that a majority of Trump supporters don’t want to see him debate again. They may claim he won the debate, but clearly they don’t actually believe that.
or they do belief it, but they’re very worried he will lose the next one. either way, definitely not a good look
SCARBOROUGH: Why do you think Donald Trump won’t debate her again?
EMHOFF: You saw the first debate didn’t you?
SCARBOROUGH: Yeah
EMHOFF: Yeah. That’s why. He got his ass kicked.
You know how Trump supporters are like, “he says what we’re all thinking!”?
The future first gentleman actually does.

Those who still want to vote for him will find any excuse to reject the evidence in front of their eyes
A debate isn’t for the true believers, it’s for the absurdly uninformed dip shits who think it’s centrist to half agree with autocracy and ethnic clensing. They always need more convincing, and motivation to actually show up and vote.
But anyone who is uninformed to that level is completely unlikely to watch a debate. I mean, if they invested five minutes a night (maybe even a week) listening to the top news headlines, they wouldn’t be undecided.
A debate is probably a waste of everyone’s time other than for entertainment value and selling clicks.
they’re gotten so accustomed to rejecting evidence that they’re now doing it preemptively. saying no to a second debate means there will be less evidence that they’ll have to reject later
I’ve watched my MIL completely lose all capability of critical thinking since becoming a trump supporter. She was a very smart person with good education and great street smarts, but by their words they didn’t like when Obama met only with democratic party leadership shortly after becoming president, and therefore voted for trump in 2016. At the time they would’ve been split ticket voters, voting Trump for president, but vocally in opposition to our republican governor at the time. The by the pandemic they were spouting nonsense that was opposing basic germ theory (MIL was a nurse for a while!) and now all of her kids are socially and emotionally separating from her more and more. For someone with 4 kids who’s all about their family, she sure is doing a great job of alienating her entire family!
So yeah, I strongly believe that becoming part of Trump’s cult of personality harms peoples ability to think critically about anything based on my anecdata
Trump is a symptom, not the problem, this has been happening for years with Rush Limbaugh, Shawn Hannity, the sane side of republican radio, there’s unhinged full blown racism and fascism that’s been on AM radio for decades. It fucks people up who listen to it. Same lies over and over and over.
So what? If we cared about what a majority of Americans thought, then Hillary would have won
Al Gore, too (never mind the EC vote, which he also would have won if not for the first Republican coup).
The majority of Americans want entertainment
53% of Americans want to give him another chance at putting his foot further into his mouth. 47% just want to hear their god emperor make farting noses to “own the libs”. Note that they don’t care which side of him it comes from.
If only he weren’t such a coward.
He would shit his pants, literally.
Why? Why does this drag on for so long? Surely everyone’s already made their minds up long ago.
10 percent of registered voters still report “undecided” in polls, and more than half of them won’t actually vote in November.
What’s the point in pretending that these people don’t exist?
This circus has been going on for what feels like over a year. If they haven’t decided by now then I don’t think yet another debate is going to change anything. Most countries get the whole election announcement to government change sorted out in about 6 weeks.
They have, and that’s part of the problem.
Trump is too old scared and tired to do another debate. Sad!
Be honest, yall want it for the memes
Like Trump gives a shit about the will of the people.
A majority of Americans didn’t watch the first one so I’m not sure we can take this literally.
Sort of seems like “do you want a balanced budget” …yes of course. “Do you want to raise taxes or cut spending to achieve that?” …no I would never want either of those options.
People like the idea of debates but they don’t impact the race unless someone truly bombs.
They should have asked if the Electoral College wants a second debate.
Most would probably allow bears in WWE
Are they exclusively present to go against the McMahon family?
If so… Yes, yes I would.

Kinda sounds worth it if it would end the WWE.
