The Debate Was Two Assholes Bragging About What Murderous Empire Sluts They Are


Listen Later

If you missed the presidential debate between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris, this was pretty much the tone of it:
Trump: She’s a communist. She’s literally a Marxist.
Harris: Actually Goldman Sachs loves me.
Trump: I saw her eat a cat. It was on the TV.
Harris: Dick Cheney loves me too.
Trump: She won’t kill any Palestinians at all.
Harris: I’ll kill way more Palestinians than he’ll kill.
Trump: I will kill the most Palestinians. I’ll kill more Palestinians than anyone.
Harris: You couldn’t kill even one Palestinian. You are weak.
Trump: I am not weak I am strong. I am the strongest.
Harris: You’re a weak little girl and you’ll let China win.
Trump: She’s gonna start a nuclear war with Russia.
Harris: I will invade Russia myself and I’ll kill Putin with my bare hands. I am the strongest and you are the weakest.
Trump: It’s not true. It’s not true.
Harris: I will also do the most fracking and drill the most oil. Many Republicans have said I’m the strongest.
Trump: No. No. She’s weak on immigration.
Harris: I kick immigrants in the balls for fun.

The presidential debate sucked and they were both horrible, but Harris clearly came out looking more coherent and in control. In other words, Harris did what anyone debating Trump should have been able to do on day one. The fact that it’s taken three whole election cycles to see a candidate dominate Trump in a basic presidential debate shows what braindead morons the Democrats have been serving up all these years.
As a debater, she did her job. As a presidential candidate, she showed why so many warmongering Republicans have been so eager to support her. She showed that she’s a Republican with pronouns in her bio, talking about how tough she’s going to be on China and how much she loves fracking and oil and Israel and how many Republicans have endorsed her and her policies.
This is what the “left wing” looks like in the world’s most powerful government. US politics is so intensely stupid.
