Yeah, personally I'm way more interested in the results of the primaries here in New Hampshire than in the debate.

I just hope that Granite State Democrats unite swiftly and quickly after tonight. We have less than two months to the general election.

I am too although I'm not expecting any big surprises here.

What NH primary are you most curious to see the results of?

My "Debate Watch Party" is an 8pm showing of Beetlejuice Beetlejuice with some buddies for a mutual birthday.

Going to watch it so can I can be informed if voters bring pieces of it up that are not played in the soundbites.

Here in Portland there are multiple debate watch parties, which are very useful to the Democrats and to the Harris campaign specifically. We are fired up, and ready to go!

The more people who watch, the better it will be for the Harris campaign, and the more likely

the media's spin will be that Democrats are fired up.

I encourage everyone to watch it.

You do you, of course.

It's also good to get the media to report that people are excited about the election. That is why the top priority of the Harris campaign for the last week is to get people to attend debate watch parties.

I respect anyone who is avoiding listening to the "debate" to avoid hearing more odious shit from Trump, but here's what's terrifying: https://politicalwire.com/2024/09/10/third-of-voters-say-tonights-debate-will-help-them-decide/ Actually, 30% of registered voters, per an NPR/PBS News/Marist poll, but the point is, these dumb charades are hugely impactful. We are all very much aware of the impact the last one made on the race. So watching it yourselves will probably give you more understanding of the dynamics of the election than looking at the next opinion poll's crosstabs.

It would be better for them to look at the records of the two candidates and the charges and civil suits Trump has been guilty of and liable for.

Remember the first five minutes of this summerтАЩs Biden-Trump debate and that dawning sense of dread? This debate felt like the opposite. It was a joyful experience to watch.
