I will be playing the Kamala v Trump Debate at the link above. I played the Biden v Trump debate on the same channel. For the Biden v Trump debate, we had around 200 hexbear users in the chat. Before/after the debate, I will play news and commentary related to the debate.

Israel and the Border wall as they're both one-upping each other on who's the bigger fascist

Probably Kamala but only because Trump is yelling a lot and saying some really insane alt-right shit that is going to be off-putting to the normal whites.

Also the moderator seems pretty clearly in the can for Harris

They are fact-checking Trump quite a bit.

No fact check on Kamala saying Hamas slaughtered 1200 Israelis on October 7 though

I know it's purely theoretical but If Trump were just a tiny bit less vain - he'd do better in situations like this because he'd take advice and not trust his gut 100% of time. But the tradeoff would be he'd lose some of the essential Trumpness that helped him win in 2016 and that helps keep his hogs and his party under his spell.

He's like a MMA ex-world champ who only has one speed - hyper-aggressive.
