      No, just no.

      So I didn’t see this, yet, but please tell me that this image doesn’t contain a verbatim quote of how this went down. This would be insanity

        “Th-the rules were that you guys weren’t going to fact-check me, and since you’re fact-checking me, I think it’s important to say what’s actually going on,” Vance said.”

        Unfortunately it’s true.

      When they complain about being fact checked and that not fact checking them was a prerequisite for them to attend the debate, that tells you everything about what they stand for.

    The idea that these putzes whine about being fact-checked. This is where we are at.

    And this from the bunch that wear shirts that say things like “fuck your feelings” and “facts don’t care about your feelings”. Then they melt the very second a fact shows up to negate their feelings about their fictions.

    A candidate being mad at a fact check is a massive red flag

      It’s a massive red flag but one the right won’t see. Just look at Fox-Legally-Classified-As-Entertainment’s clip on the fact checking, and read the comments. They took this as a sign of bias and think JD Vance won the exchange. The fact that JD Vance spelled out the legal process for them to not be illegal immigrants (iow he was lying) is lost on them.

      I hope at least some people realize the gaslighting going on both from trump/vance as well as the media.

    Looks like the source changed the headline on you:

    If you could update yours, that would be great!

    It’s because (like all authoritarian dildos) he has an ego larger than he deserves and can’t look inward for anything.

    I think the reports of Vance having “won” are greatly overstated:

    https://www.forbes.com/sites/mollybohannon/2024/10/02/tim-walz-jd-vance-polls-both-candidates-favorability-increases-post-debate/

    42% vs. 41%? That’s well within the margin of error, LOL.

      What are your numbers supposed to mean? From your article:

      Prior to the debate, a New York Times/Siena College poll released Sept. 28 found Midwestern voters prefer Walz to Vance: Walz was viewed favorably by 44% of voters and unfavorably by 41%, while Vance was viewed favorably by 42% of voters and unfavorably by 48%.

      So 44% like Walz, 42% like Vance. 41% dislike Walz, 48% dislike Vance. Comparing 42 and 41 is comparing two different things

        42%. That’s how many debate viewers in the CBS poll thought Vance was the winner of the debate, compared to 41% who thought Walz won. Seventeen percent of viewers said the debate ended in a tie.
