BOOM!!!!!! Taylor Swift!!! Taylor Swift just endorsed Harris pic.twitter.com/J774MKIRuL— Adrian Carrasquillo adriancarrasquillo.bsky.social (@Carrasquillo) September 11, 2024
I have to agree with this. If you have rules, you have to enforce them, and they did not. Except that one time when they cut Harris off. I am pleased that, on occasion, they called out the total bullshit he was saying. It's instructive to see how right wingers are responding with nothing but criticism for the moderation - as @superdave says, they're always working the refs.
I am grateful though..... the post has 1 MILLION likes already.... She has 280 M followers... That will have an impact.

Former GOP congressman-turned lobbyist Rodney Davis on the BBC: "She won on the facts. She baited him mercilessly, to the point that . . . both of them but especially him, wanted to engage with what she was saying . . ." which is never where you want to be in a debate. "When you're reacting to you r opponent, you're losing." His GOP sources are having a 180 from after the Biden debate because "she did exactly what she needed to do. She got herself away from the failures of the Biden administration and has made herself seem much more presidential." Here's hoping.
And her fans will turn out to volunteer. They could be a massive force. But she still could have waited one day.
Four out of every five tweets on my feed apparently think this is a very big deal. For scroll after scroll after scroll.
If nothing else, this debate will further energize an already energized Democratic base. Going from the convention to this is continuing the momentum.
Orange idiot: "She wants to do another debate because she got beaten tonight" ... "The polls say I won 91-6%, 88-11% ..."
Good for Rodney Davis. I worked on an issue with his office about 6 years ago or so. I was so annoyed at his foolishness that I hoped beyond hope he would lose. He barely held his seat that year, but got voted out 2 years later. But glad to see that he isn't living in the abyss of absurdity of Donald Trump to the point that he can't state the obvious.
So I see Haitians eating pets made it on the debate. This guy is so impressionable by things on the Internet that I am surprised he hasn't gotten swindled in the business world.
