Final (?) Debate thread before the election in 35 days.

Debate begins at 9 PM Eastern, 6 PM Pacific and runs 90 minutes.

Vice Presidential debates are always tricky since nobody has voted for Vice President in living memory.

Expect Vance to attack Walz on his military service.

Expect Walz to attack Vance on the whole “immigrants eating cats and dogs” thing.

Expect Vance to attack Walz on being an assistant coach, at best.

Expect Walz to roll out “Weird!” at least once.

CBS has announced the burden of fact checking will be on the candidates themselves.

    I appreciate the extra clarification on pronunciation, but charisma also means likeable and having a magnetic personality, not just being a wannabe despotic populist leader. Vance has a chance at the former until he starts talking.

      Dude, its called context. The usage implied was very clear.

      And my bad, i guess i left out the little “1” at the start that says my definition was the primary usage to support my argument, but whatever… it seemed obvious.

      Despite that, even by your narrower definition, trump still has charisma. just not the kind that works on you. People can be likable and have a magnetic personality and whatever else, and you can still despise them. They would still be called charismatic. The people waving his signs, attending his rallys, and wearing his red hats would certainly say he is likable and has a magnetic personality. Are they wrong? No. The sheer number of his followers prove he has charisma. Clap yourself on the back for not falling for that particular style of charisma if you want, but dont deny it exists.
