We really need to have the Commission for Presidential Debates brought back. This nonsense the corporate media sponsors has nothing to do with real debating. It’s all a made-for-TV spectacle.

This is one reason why my disgust with today’s “news media” is so strong.

“…This scenario sounds eerily similiar to how news organizations, “[d]espite eight years and two election cycles,” continue to normalize Trump’s speeches by providing a coherence that is missing from the original.”

“…It is the news media’s job to point out untruths. Period. Not parrot them or slide them under the rug.”

I found reading the entire article was a worthwhile read. This is what Harris will face on Tuesday.

While I I’d use a slightly different tactic than the one in the conclusion, I think the author is on the right track.

Hope everyone was able to enjoy Labor Day with your family and friends!

So, we’re 8 days out from the debate. I’m going to be donating to HarrisWalz every day from today to debate day. Momentum is with us and I can see a #BlueWave forming. But we can’t stop, that’s what went wrong in 2016.

Any amount helps, $1, $5, $10, $100. Join me by giving whatever you can afford. HarrisWalz, for the people! 💪

@Nonilex After hearing Shapiro speak at the event in Philly, it’s obvious he’s an up and comer for the future. I found him to be a powerful speaker.

My guess was, in the 3D chess of politics, the decision was to get him more seasoning as Governor in preparation for the future run at President.

Walz appears to be genuinely happy to be Harris’ wingman with no apparent presidential aspirations of his own. He and Harris sure look to be the making of a great team.
