In the last Canadian debate one of the questions was that if you reduce housing prices how will the elderly who own all the houses afford their retirement. I thought it was ridiculous, but it's interesting that it's not even in the discussion tonight

Solving those things in the past! Stop worrying about the future!
Ouch on calling other parts of the world dirty
ok JD we get it your kids are beautiful
And yet you somehow turned out to be a gross little shit
Why does Vance look so airbrushed?
I think his suit is ill fitting. Maybe this is a Republican thing tho. Trump always wears suits that’s too big for him.

I think they're both full of shit about the ACA. Vance delivered lies and a nothing burger of a proposal. Walz said the system works. Pre and post trump it never worked. When it was mandatory, I was on the benefits cliff and couldn't afford the awful insurance that covered nothing (that also had an enormous deductible). I missed rent because of my state mandated health insurance. When trump made it voluntary, I had more money in my pocket and I still couldn't afford healthcare.
The ACA is fucked and needs to be replaced with a real socialized health system. Health insurance is corrupt and contrary to healthcare on a fundamental level. It should be abolished and outlawed.

You mean like the fucking bill Trump killed!? Ok i am done. I’ve seen enough
Walz seems really nice. And the VP doesn't usually matter that much. But it sure would be nice if that was Buttigieg or Shapiro up there. Buttigieg loves sparring with Republicans. He is a great attack dog, but thats not really what Walz's role seems to be, and that's OK, but considering the election is a coin flip, I just want every fraction of a percent of support Harris can get.

Is that what he thinks trump is saying or is that what he knows his running mate his saying?
Vance has only been speaking for a few minutes and it already looks like he has robot hands.

What the fuck does empowering the border agents mean? They are doing their jobs.
That was a weirdly meandering non-answer.
This clown just going to pretend he’s a democrat for this answer?
I need Vance’s makeup artist
But seriously , why is he dodging the question?
What is Vance talking about?
Walz suddenly appears in the followup.
lol what “experts” said that? You mean greedy business executives? Pretty sure they aren’t considered experts.
Walz answer was really good.
Does this moron think the VZp is a god in the system? Why didn’t trump do these things when he was president???
It's really annoying that JD had a valid point about economic experts being wrong about pushing neoliberalism. That really weakened Walz'es otherwise great point that we should be listening to the experts about climate change and allowed the couchfucker to push the "follow common sense" bullshit.
housing is up 60%?!?
