    I’m not sure “lash out” is the right choice of words here. If someone publicly called for your death while accusing you of a crime you didn’t commit, and never even apologized when you’re proven innocent, I’d say you can be rightfully extremely angry at them.

      Agreed. Biased headline. Wild guess it’s bc they’re POC. Wonder if it would be “speaking the truth “ otherwise

    Wow! I love that they gave them a voice last night to directly address the man who still won’t admit they were innocent.

    People need to be reminded that Kamala Harris is running against a man who hates her for her skin color.

    I’ve said this before: There are a lot of racists in this country who would absolutely deny being racists- People who will talk about how MLK’s dream of black and white kids living together (the only part of that speech they know) is good, but who will also cross the street if a black man is coming toward them. Those people will not be into voting for someone who is overtly racist.

      Ratings were higher at least. Doesn’t matter though. It’s the clippable TikTok moments that most people will see. Hulk hogan VS gus walz. That sort of thing.

      On that, I think the dems blew away the repubs.

        I hope you’re right. I feel like “most” of us in the USA already picked who we are voting for. For the undecided in key states who haven’t, I don’t know if the DNC or RNC matters or not. I hope it does. I don’t want it to come down to some random event late in September that they remember as they walk to the polls on Election Day.

        Gaza can strangely have a huge impact if something memorable happens before Election Day. I’m not saying most of it has not been something all of us shouldn’t remember. I can just see the current admin mishandling another Bibi crazy move alienating Muslim voters.

          I just watched a panel of undecided voters from PA on CNN. Of the 9 on the panel, 8 of them said they were ready to make a choice. 7 went for Harris, 1 for Trump, and 1 still undecided and leaning toward staying home.

          That’s just one panel, I know, but that’s an astounding result. If we see even a 5-2 split in undecided towards Harris on election day it will be a massive landslide.

          -edit- and it turns out the guy that went for Trump was a plant. Figures.
