Was tempted to call this “Debate 2: Electric Boogaloo” but a) A lot of Lemmy won’t get the OG reference. and 2) “Boogaloo” has been co-opted and carries an unfortunate connotation these days.

Also, while it’s Trump’s 2nd debate of the season, it’s Harris’s first…

It’s being run by ABC News at 9 PM Eastern time, 6 PM Pacific, I see MSNBC starts their coverage TWO HOURS EARLY. That’s a lot of air time to fill, guys. Good luck!

    I see! That’s not how I’ve taken ‘Prime Minister’ to be used, hence my surprise. It’s used to refer not just to the person, but specifically them in that role for that time period.

    So to me, President Obama was a (recent) historical figure, even though Mr. Obama is still alive.
