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.

I watched the entire thing. I feel dumber and less informed now than I was before watching. My conclusion: both candidates should be gently placed in a field and set upon by dogs or perhaps wolves.

I did notice one thing - in terms of correcting outright bullshit when possible and asking decent questions I thought the moderation was considerably better than the Biden-Trump one and it did not matter at all, because both candidates were doing the "answer the question you wish they'd asked" thing everyone has now internalized as the least risky way to handle these things. Harris did a slightly different version of this where she adds a "I'm gonna tackle that point by point" type preamble before not doing that.
