    Pence is trying to provoke an outburst, and the problem is that he deserves it. The moderator should address his lack of answers at the very least.

    Midwest trolling, then get if they get mad at him well take that's just not the right tone.

    Pence is interrupting Harris and lying more.

    She really needs to just talk over him, he's not going to stop. Also, good to see her push to get her time back after being interrupted.

    She can't without coming across as an "angry black woman" she's being graded on the tightest of curves. Where as mayo mcpinkeye just has to drool on the application.

    She's dealing with it the best way I think. Let him speak, ask him to stop interrupting, and let everyone have a conversation. In the exact same tone my friends use with their 10 year old when he's acting out.

    There's a lot of jobs in the rust-belt tied up in fracking.

    It's the new coal-mining jobs, for good and for ill.

    Pence interrupting is kind of annoying. I want the moderator to step in.

    I will say that Kamala channels strong mom energy. Trump is hurting with college educated women, and I can see where Kamala resonates with that block.

    This should really be used as a bludgeon for muting mics in future debates. If neither Trump nor Pence can shut their fucking mouths when someone else is talking, then it needs to be done for them.

    There is a swathe of Americans who believe they care about the environment but want cheap gas and must be gently told that it is fine and we are doing nothing wrong, plus look at these jobs.

    Drill, baby, drill.

    Libs are generally against it so about 40% of the country cares deeply about supporting it.

    How the hell did they get people to fold fracking into identity politics? To the point that Biden is afraid of being seen as anti-fracking? What the fuck?

    So I'm not watching, but I'm seeing twitter takes that apparently Pence has a serious case of pinkeye going on. Which is apparently a covid symptom.

    Pence must think "Green new deal" is a boogey man that loses voters in the Mid-West. I haven't seen polling on that, but they must have good numbers because he won't shut up about it.

    Pence’s response to every situation is to try and scare people that their taxes are going to go up.

    Pence: "The green new deal is coming, no more cows, no more airplanes!"

    It's a right-wing boogeyman that they continue to lie about because they don't want to actually talk about it.

    Muting this when Pence talks was a brilliant suggestion, thank you whoever mentioned that.

    Or he's just using Biden's own words against him.

    Fracking is one of the few new sources of income which has come to rural America the past few decades - companies roll in, pay for the use of your land, pump income into the local community via temporary construction jobs, etc.

    God Pence is a broken fucking record. His response to any question: “Joe Biden is gonna raise your taxes and ban fracking.”

    I mean, I hope he’s right?

    "Pence you mentioned the trade war with China. You lost that war." Followed by a disappointed look and the numbers of jobs lost in different industries.

    the people he's talking to do

    which is something i find incredibly interesting about the Republican party's campaigning anymore. they don't even talk to people outside their bubble. it's all just recycling their talking points that all require living inside their bubble to not immediately reject as obviously false

    it's a small wonder their base keeps shrinking
