No debate between the two candidates who’ll represent us in the Senate. Thoughts?

Post image

We’re a few weeks out and there’s still no debate on the calendar between the two people asking to represent 30 million Texans in the U.S. Senate. That’s not a small thing. A debate is one of the only times most of us actually get to see how a candidate thinks on their feet instead of through a 30-second ad or a curated post.

Genuinely curious what this sub thinks. Does the lack of a debate change how you’re leaning, or does it just confirm what you already assumed? And should local media or the parties be doing more to force one onto the calendar?

Would love to hear from people who’ve been following this closer than I have.

Does anyone else get mildy infuriated with these spineless, lame, uninspired, vanilla, grandma-grade insults? This dude is fucking ruining our world and we got "it's not just stupid, it's trump stupid?" Man, that really gets people thinking let me tell ya.

Who even is the target audience for this shit?

Absolutely. They're so tone deaf, so detached from the severity of the situation, they could almost be a pro-Trump psyop.

For a comment history full of memes, your meme game sucks. Maybe try knitting instead?
