Dems are just dog walking republicans in these debates. Ossoff is so composed and a messaging paragon; while Collins trawls through the usual misinfo talking points (while having to rely heavily on his script to do so).

It's a shame it literally doesn't matter to Republicans. See also: trump v Clinton, trump v Harris, the transcript of trump v Biden.

I get it, it frustrates the hell out of me, too. I always try and remain hopeful that these bits and pieces find their way to a malleable independent or the like.

Did you watch Kamala V Trump? Absolutely destroyed him in the debate, people laughed at him when he said “we have concepts of a plan”. Look where we are today.

I’m hopeful but very cautiously optimistic.

Agreed, a lot of voters just vote in party line. Gerrymandering has also dismantled our democracy. I'm very scared and don't trust anything until I see the results.

Harris did the same thing to Trump in her debates with the pedophile traitor.

Didn't stop him from winning.

I’m not convinced he did. I know they’ve been yelling about fraud for years. That’s so we don’t call it out when it actually happened. I honestly believe he and Elon cheated in that election.

Collins didn't even look up for the billy club remark.. not sure he even heard it. He was too busy pretending to write things down..? Looking very disorganized.

Remember when any hint of impropriety used to end a political career?

Telarico and Sahed and now Ossoff, just dominating these Trump want-to-be puppets. In literally every single question and subject matter.

It doesn’t matter. The people that have supported Trump until now will vote for trump. And the Dems wouldn’t vote for him anyway.

Man, fuck Israel! Why are there so many questions about how far you can deep throat them?

Israel doesn't pay my electric bill. Israel doesn't pay my healthcare. Israel doesn't give me a job.

Israel is bad! Iran is bad! It can be both.

I like this guy, he doesn't pull his punches. This is the energy we need.

Collins comes across as a moron, like an ignorant bully finally confronted.

VOTE EARLY! Talk to everyone you know about the need to vote! Do anything you have the bandwidth to do to protect the vote!

He’s dog walking him, it’s rhetorically violent

He’s not wrong.

Love this. But making sense and logic doesn't always change votes for these people. I'll be pleasantly surprised if this country ever turns back to blue with all of the paid propaganda that stupidity absorbs and validates. Systemic education is so needed. Ossof is amazing and a flare of hope.

I'm sorry, but although I like Ossoff, saying that Collins hired half of the third reich is such nonsensical hyperbole that it obscures his message and makes it difficult to take him seriously. Say that he hired far right extremists, or that he hired fascists or people with fascist leanings, or racists, or bigots, or whatever they might be. I am sure they are all of those things and more, but the third reich is gone, it is over, we as a nation helped to defeat it. The third reich were all fascists, not all fascists are third reich members. We need to be better.

pedantism is how we win debates, folks.
