Majority of Americans want second debate between Trump and Harris: Poll
Despite Trump refusing to participate in a "rematch" with Harris, Americans are still eager for the two to face off one last time.
While a majority favor a second Harris-Trump debate, the poll also found a sharp party split between those who want to see this happen. Among registered voters who prefer Harris, 71 percent hope to see another debate, a figure which drops to only 45 percent among those who prefer Trump.
Awfully telling that a majority of Trump supporters don't want to see him debate again. They may claim he won the debate, but clearly they don't actually believe that.
47or they do belief it, but they’re very worried he will lose the next one. either way, definitely not a good look

53% of Americans want to give him another chance at putting his foot further into his mouth. 47% just want to hear their god emperor make farting noses to “own the libs”. Note that they don’t care which side of him it comes from.
13SCARBOROUGH: Why do you think Donald Trump won’t debate her again?
EMHOFF: You saw the first debate didn’t you?
SCARBOROUGH: Yeah
EMHOFF: Yeah. That’s why. He got his ass kicked.
45You know how Trump supporters are like, "he says what we're all thinking!"?
The future first gentleman actually does.

Those who still want to vote for him will find any excuse to reject the evidence in front of their eyes
35A debate isn't for the true believers, it's for the absurdly uninformed dip shits who think it's centrist to half agree with autocracy and ethnic clensing. They always need more convincing, and motivation to actually show up and vote.
19But anyone who is uninformed to that level is completely unlikely to watch a debate. I mean, if they invested five minutes a night (maybe even a week) listening to the top news headlines, they wouldn't be undecided.
A debate is probably a waste of everyone's time other than for entertainment value and selling clicks.

they’re gotten so accustomed to rejecting evidence that they’re now doing it preemptively. saying no to a second debate means there will be less evidence that they’ll have to reject later
1I've watched my MIL completely lose all capability of critical thinking since becoming a trump supporter. She was a very smart person with good education and great street smarts, but by their words they didn't like when Obama met only with democratic party leadership shortly after becoming president, and therefore voted for trump in 2016. At the time they would've been split ticket voters, voting Trump for president, but vocally in opposition to our republican governor at the time. The by the pandemic they were spouting nonsense that was opposing basic germ theory (MIL was a nurse for a while!) and now all of her kids are socially and emotionally separating from her more and more. For someone with 4 kids who's all about their family, she sure is doing a great job of alienating her entire family!
So yeah, I strongly believe that becoming part of Trump's cult of personality harms peoples ability to think critically about anything based on my anecdata

Why? Why does this drag on for so long? Surely everyone's already made their minds up long ago.
910 percent of registered voters still report "undecided" in polls, and more than half of them won't actually vote in November.
What's the point in pretending that these people don't exist?
6This circus has been going on for what feels like over a year. If they haven't decided by now then I don't think yet another debate is going to change anything. Most countries get the whole election announcement to government change sorted out in about 6 weeks.

They have, and that's part of the problem.

The majority of Americans want entertainment
15Trump is too old scared and tired to do another debate. Sad!
7So what? If we cared about what a majority of Americans thought, then Hillary would have won
21Al Gore, too (never mind the EC vote, which he also would have won if not for the first Republican coup).
14
If only he weren’t such a coward.
12He would shit his pants, literally.

A majority of Americans didn't watch the first one so I'm not sure we can take this literally.
Sort of seems like "do you want a balanced budget" ...yes of course. "Do you want to raise taxes or cut spending to achieve that?" ...no I would never want either of those options.
People like the idea of debates but they don't impact the race unless someone truly bombs.
3Like Trump gives a shit about the will of the people.
5Be honest, yall want it for the memes
6Also we are all ready to remove our very very large male reproductive organs if Trump is president again. Cuz heck if we're gonna be making more kids for that bastard. I mean, we could just go to the doctor. But if you can't wait for an appointment due to the healthcare being shit, the best thing is a red hot machete. It has worked in several movies to prevent infections.

They should have asked if the Electoral College wants a second debate.
0why? we all know what it would be like
Harris: restrictive immigration policies, no upping the federal minimum wage to a livable wage, less workers' rights, less women's rights, more fracking/oil and blames all the Democrat party's shortcomings on the Republicans
Trump: restrictive immigration policies, no upping the federal minimum wage to a livable wage, less workers' rights, less women's rights, more fracking/oil and blames all the Republican party's shortcomings on the Democrats
-81I don’t remember any restrictive women’s right positions for Harris. She’s strongly for legalizing abortion. Maybe you can enlighten me?
57Harris wants to raise the minimum wage
The federal minimum wage has not increased from $7.25 per hour since 2009.
On the campaign trail, Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris has said that needs to change.
Harris supports the PRO act to help union's ability to organize in "right to work" states. It would stop companies from being able to hold mandatory anti-union meetings. It would allow the national labor relation board to directly issue fines for labor law violations and issue compensation to employees. And more

Harris supports killing the filibuster to get abortion protections codified
Harris is for sure not perfect, but claiming the two are exactly the same is just not true
10why?
Literally just for the entertainment value.
Want to watch Based Warrior Queen Girl Boss Brat Summer Harris completely decimate the Soy Broke Fat Old Nobody-Likes-You-Anymore Trump on TV while I eat my Hillary Can Still Win branded popcorn.
Meanwhile, next door, my neighbor can watch the Uber King MAGA Supersoldier Trump utterly squash the Woke Fake Lame Ugly Second-Hand-Joe-Biden Harris on TV while he drinks his Black Rifle Coffee.
Everybody has a cool fun time and then we all go out in a couple of weeks to complain about how third parties caused their favorite candidate to lose.
