My fiancée and will be watching the debate and likely drinking, because fuck 2016. Enjoy the banter folks. And remember, no one can predict how the public will respond to the debates. One joke/moment can be the entire night.

Also don't forget that there are three debates. Obama had one disaster vs Romney, still won!

Also remember that the first one by far has the biggest impact.

I would argue that character and image are such enormous parts of this campaign that a single nosedive could kill the whole thing.

4 including VP. And that disaster one was the first one so nothing will be decided tonight probably.

You could also argue that both are producing nosedives weekly, so who cares about another one...

I feel very odd reading the points about diversity and immigration in this thread. I live in a city, and diversity is amplified in cities (I think). My 3 best friends are all different races, my school is 35% white (still the largest group), and I am literally the only person on my school's math team starting roster that isn't an immigrant (it's interesting being the only one who spoke English as a first language in a circle of friends).
However, diversity has always helped me to grow as a person, especially with regard to different points of view and stepping in the shoes of others. I guess I must have really different values, especially since I am so much younger than everyone and grew up in a different culture.

As the debates are about to start, I am going to end my self-imposed exile in this thread.

I hope the debate inspires us to discuss policy issues instead of whatever outrageous thing said by one candidate or another or, by cursory glance, a 30(?) page discussion on if a poster is racist or not (even if it turns out to be true it's still toxic to read).

Police escorted Green Party presidential nominee Jill Stein off Hofstra University’s campus this afternoon before tonight’s first presidential debate.

Authorities encountered Stein on the college campus in Hempstead, New York, and asked the third party candidate, who has not garnered enough support to participate in the debates, to show the proper credentials, which she could not do, police said.

She was “nicely escorted” off the grounds around 2:30 p.m. ET, a Nassau County Police Department spokesman told ABC News.

Stein also tweeted about the incident, saying she was on campus “doing an interview” when police put her and her team “in a van” and escorted them out. Earlier, Stein’s campaign said she had obtained a credential to come in and do interviews at the media filing center in the early afternoon.



Stein had planned to challenge her exclusion from tonight’s event by hosting a rally outside the secured perimeter of the debate hall beginning around 5 p.m. ET. She said she will be live on Twitter’s Periscope app answering the same questions as Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton and Republican nominee Donald Trump on the debate stage.

Stein’s campaign said she will not “risk arrest” this time, because there is an outstanding warrant for her arrest over her involvement in a recent protest against a controversial pipeline project in North Dakota. Still, her campaign spokeswoman Meleiza Figueroa said they will attempt to get the “spirited demonstration … as close to the gates as possible."

In 2012, Stein and her running mate were arrested outside Hofstra University when they tried entering the premises during a presidential debate between President Obama and then-Republican nominee Mitt Romney.

When you came along so righteous with a new national hate, so convincing is the ardor of war and of men, it's harder to breathe than to believe you're a friend. The wars at home, the wars abroad, all soaked in blood and lies and fraud.

+1 upboat for low content post. gr8 lereddit post m8 XD


While I am aware that it is painfully optimistic, it would be nice if the thread could aspire to something higher than the current shitfest that posts like these contribute to making.

Though it's pretty stupid that trigger warnings are a thing, at all.
History will sooner or later sweep the European Union away without mercy.
