2020 Presidential Debate
![[image loading]](https://i.imgur.com/xvwe2lh.jpg)
1. Why is there a separate thread for the debate?
Opening a separate thread just for the debate allows everyone to have a chance to post in the debate thread without worrying about their content getting lost in the chaotic sea that is the USPMT.
Additionally, this allows the moderators to comb through all the pages and moderate efficiently without having to look through any past pages. It's a win/win for everyone!
2. What will happen to the USPMT?
The USPMT lock isn't permanent. The thread will be reopened at a later date this week. For now, please use this thread only to discuss US political matters.
3. Are the rules the same?
We are going to treat this thread like a StarCraft Live Report thread. There will be lots of posts and conversations going on so moderation will be a little more lax to accommodate for that. The thread will feel like spam from time to time, but we will do our best to make sure that it doesn't get out of control.
However, please note that we absolutely will not tolerate users attacking one another. TL posting rules still apply. We will not hesitate to mod action you if you are viciously harassing someone purely because they hold a different political view than you do.
Please discuss tonight's debate in a civil manner. While we encourage a fierce environment full of passionate debating, we do NOT encourage a battleground. This is not a war, so please don't treat it like one.
4. What happens after the debate is over?
The debate thread will remain open for 48 hours after the debate is over. Afterwards, we will lock the thread and reopen USPMT.

Seeker is the real hero here. I won't be watching but I'll be reading this for the hot takes.

This is a negative ev debate, it sounds like. Either not much happens and we get bored or something interesting happens but most likely that'll be something bad for Biden.
|
Having basically no audience will play in Biden's favor I think.
|
I haven’t really been following this election as much as in years past because honestly it isn’t even the most important thing happening this year, but I’ll be watching for the potential tidbits of great fun that could potentially come of this.
|
I haven't really followed Bidens campaign much, how were his public appearances recently? He has enough ammo to wipe the floor with Trump but is he up to the task?

This is a great idea  Is there a YouTube livestream / link to watch live?

Let's play a game (for those watching). Every time trump goes off topic or rambles, take a shot. Every time Biden stutters or corrects himself, take a shot.

If you type 'presidential debate 2020 live' in youtube search you can find streams from basically every big US broadcaster too if you prefer one of those.

lol
I hope it doesn't become a battle of senility with both of them not being coherent but it might well turn out to be

The #1 thing I'm most interested in, tonight, is how much of the conversation is going to be about legitimate substance and policy, as opposed to mudslinging and scandals.

Biden:
"Look" followed by short pause
Come on, Man
Malarkey
Listen folks
Obama
Trump:
The best, best in world, greatest perhaps ever
Yuge
Chinavirus, or China with gesture
Sleepy Joe, ____ Kamala
Interjects

Chris Wallace did well last election with hosting the presidential debate and keeping it about policy; hoping he will do well again.

When Biden coughed I was like OH GOD NO
|
First question, Supreme Court nominees. Boilerplate answer from Trump. Biden talks about the ACA.
|
Joe looks nearly dead. This is sad.
|
Pre-existing condition of pregnancy.
He opposes Barrett because of a possible ruling on ACA. Yeah, you had the chance to amp up that sucker with Clinton, better luck next time.
Trump talking about Kamala actually running the Democratic ticket ROFL shots fired
|
Not a good start from Biden. This isn't the VP candidate Biden from 8 years ago...
|
How many of the 200'000 who have died on Trump's watch have survived, excellent question!
Yeah I don't think I'll be watching this for long
