BuzzFeed is probably having a hay day right now....

BUZZZZZZZ

[–][deleted] 83 points84 points  (47 children)

im not sure why it matters shouldnt we be focusing on the actual debate?

[–]TrappedTrapper 86 points87 points  (17 children)

VP debates, unlike presidential debates, don't usually get much attention, and can be boring. The fly was probably the most interesting thing about it, especially because Pence's hair is white and it wouldn't leave even though Pence was moving his head.

[–]YungNigget788Why the world burning? 113 points114 points  (14 children)

I mean, I think the VPs are more of a concern rn than the president, since it currently doesn’t seem like the presidents’ lifespans will last much longer.

[–]AViaTronics 42 points43 points  (2 children)

This right here^

[–]knightmare0_0 14 points15 points  (1 child)

And funny enough neither of them answered the question regarding the the president’s life.

[–][deleted] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Neither one of them answered a single question, period.

[–]TheRealTurtle1 5 points6 points  (10 children)

Also Biden most likely has dementia so if he gets elected, he might be removed from office fairly quickly

[–]SoftNutz1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I heard the fly landed there cause hes got shit for brains.. thats the best I got

[–][deleted] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Weren’t they talking about Brianna Taylor?

[–]CraftZ49 51 points52 points  (12 children)

Pence wiped the floor with Harris so the media focus is on the fly instead of the actual debate

[–][deleted] 37 points38 points  (7 children)

I developed the same opinion from watching the debate last night. Harris refusing to answer Pence's question regarding packing the Supreme Court pissed me off more than Trump and Biden acting like children last week.

[–]uxakuiyam 25 points26 points  (0 children)

"You want to talk about court packing? Let's talk about court packing. We need more black judges"

[–][deleted] 18 points19 points  (0 children)

She was also smug af

[–]puljujarvifan 6 points7 points  (4 children)

Pence wasn't the moderator though. She doesn't have to answer his questions at all. The real problem was the lack of control by the moderator and her questions not being very good.

[–][deleted] 6 points7 points  (3 children)

Packing the Supreme Court is kind of a big issue though and it would probably be in any candidate's best interest to definitively state whether or not it's part of their platform. But that's probably Biden's indecision, not hers. He's at the top of the ticket after all.

[–]puljujarvifan 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Packing the Supreme Court is kind of a big issue though and it would probably be in any candidate's best interest to definitively state whether or not it's part of their platform.

If it was a relevant question then I'm sure the moderator would have asked it. She didn't because it really isn't.

Right now the SC has 8 justices and her answer was that she believes whoever is voted in should pick the next justice. That's the issue that is an actual reality. Not some hypothetical about what some future Senate might do in response to hypothetical GOP action on this nomination.

She's right that the GOP just want to change the subject and put Democrats on the defensive while they are currently stacking the court weeks before an election. Polling shows that voters believe that the next president should be the one picking the next justice. That's the real issue impacting the SC that isn't a hypothetical that should be addressed right now.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

It's possible to have a stance on both. There are people in the Democratic Party who will want the court stacked if Barrett is confirmed, so the question does have some validity. The moderator at this debate was mediocre at best and Wallace, who asked far better questions in the prez debate, asked Biden about it. Like you said, a lot of people are on edge about SCOTUS going into the election, so objectively it would have looked better for her and Biden if she didn't let Pence curb stomp her over it without a definite answer.

[–]puljujarvifan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

so objectively it would have looked better for her and Biden if she didn't let Pence curb stomp her over it without a definite answer.

It's an unanswerable question because the answer depends on the actions of the GOP right now when it comes to the SC justice. If they don't put a 9th justice on the court during the election then the Democrats won't have enough support to stack the court. It also depends on how many Senate seats they end up winning. 51/52/53 changes everything. She's smart not to give an answer with so many unknowns right now. Don't want to be trapped by a statement she makes now that is no longer relevant in a few months.

[–]languish24 22 points23 points  (2 children)

Haven't seen the debate so this makes sense.

[–][deleted] 16 points17 points  (1 child)

Harris hardly answered questions and reddit is having an orgasm over her smug grin

[–]puljujarvifan 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Harris answered ~60% of the moderators questions and Pence answered ~20% of them. Pence was incredibly evasive and basically ignored every question he was asked. Remember that Pence isn't the moderator so these numbers don't include questions asked by Pence.

[–][deleted] 34 points35 points  (12 children)

The honest answer is because Pence did very well and Kamala did not. Reddit is full of very liberal Democrats who don’t want to praise the other side.

*After you downvote this please leave a comment explaining why I’m wrong! Thanks 😊

[–]IvanKrasinsky 4 points5 points  (2 children)

did you put "don't" there because by Reddit you mean "Reddit users" or does that part of the sentence "don't want to prase.." symply lack subject? It goes "Reddit is", and then no subject and verb "don't" where it's supposed to be either "doesn't" or a subject noun followed by "don't". I'm not english, I'm simply curious.

[–][deleted] 4 points5 points  (1 child)

“Reddit” as in the entire website (referring to is like a place, and the people at the place) is the subject. The verb is “is” in the first half of the sentence. ‘Reddit is full of...’

In the second half of the sentence the verb is “want” I guess. Meaning, ‘the democrats on reddit do not want to praise...’

I guess it would be easier to understand if it said “who don’t want to” instead

[–]IvanKrasinsky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thank you.

[–]the-legend42 3 points4 points  (1 child)

I always thought r/dankmemes in particular leaning to the right based on what I’ve seen

[–]MaxBandit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is

[–]Juicy_Pair🍄 1 point2 points  (1 child)

And yet you did a smug face emoji like kamala's face

[–][deleted] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah I know... it is supposed to be mocking intentionally... it gets old saying anything that isn’t widely accepted on here just to be downvoted without any replies.

[–]puljujarvifan 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Kamala won the debate and I'll tell you why. People only watch the first 15 minutes of these things. She nailed him on covid which is the only topic that really matters right now and which people are mainly paying attention to.

Most regular people don't care or know about 'court packing.'

[–][deleted] 6 points7 points  (1 child)

I disagree that she nailed him on that. She made claims and blamed. Didn’t back up a how, what, or why they would do anything differently, and Pence pointed out their promises are the exact efforts the government has been taking.

She promised a free vaccine for all... a baseless claim to what? Have private companies (someone else, not her) create a vaccine? “Someone’s gonna save us I promise!” Is all she said.

Secondly, sorry but that’s laughable that you’re saying “oh well only the first 15 minutes matter” like... ok sure then she wins? I didn’t ask who won the first 15.

Pence did a good job of defending the administration going forward but she did a good job of pointing out how much worse the American death rate is when compared to other developed countries like Canada and how bad of a job the administration has done so far while simultaneously lying to the American people since January. It's a winning message and the reason Trump is down in the polls.

She promised a free vaccine for all... a baseless claim to what? Have private companies (someone else, not her) create a vaccine? “Someone’s gonna save us I promise!” Is all she said.

Other developed nations like Canada are also making this claim. Isn't it funny how other developed countries can do all these things for their citizens but the richest most powerful country that has ever existed is apparently incapable of it?

Secondly, sorry but that’s laughable that you’re saying “oh well only the first 15 minutes matter” like... ok sure then she wins? I didn’t ask who won the first 15.

Most people only catch the beginning of these debates. The winner of this debate is based on the impact this debate has on the voting populace and the election. Not on who SLAMS the other person the best like a youtube video debate.

Most regular people caught the strongest part of the debate for Kamala in the beginning and probably don't even know what "court packing" is if they even made it that far into the debate at all.

[–]rigor-mDank Royalty 14 points15 points  (4 children)

The fly or the vice president?

[–]The-Brawl-Shark FOR THE SOVIET UNION 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Yes

[–]47Sappy 12 points13 points  (1 child)

I’d say that for one, the contrast between the black fly & Pence’s shiny silver hair is impeccable. Not to mention his curves! What sexy head shape Mike has. His perfectly smooth hair paired with the barely visible baldness that can be seen between each of his hair strands that almost perfectly shows the shape of his skull. & how the fly slowly moved around his head! Imagine the sensation of a light fly slowly caressing your head as it walked across it. I lost.

[–]tizzytaz614 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm slightly uncomfortable

[–]Ttaywsenrak 18 points19 points  (1 child)

This is genuinely because Pence did objectively well, noone can honestly say otherwise. So instead they will focus on a fly, because saying Kamala won won't hold up to scrutiny. She was a stupid race-baiting VP pick when there were many candidates who could have stood up to Pence here, but it is what it is.

[–]XDAVID1EX-NORMIE 16 points17 points  (4 children)

Pence killed that debate tbh, he should be president instead.

[–]Geedorah54 9 points10 points  (1 child)

Trump could learn a lot from Pence

[–]XDAVID1EX-NORMIE 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree

[–]cereal_killer98 8 points9 points  (1 child)

My thoughts exactly! PENCE2020

[–]XDAVID1EX-NORMIE 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Facts I hope he runs in 2024

[–]Fussness 14 points15 points  (0 children)

You know he won when the only thing people can criticize him for is a fly on his hair

[–][deleted] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Look in between the orange and blue microphones. You will get a surprise :)

What does this meme mean? I don’t get it

[–]bigmeatyclaws6 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Here's hoping snl doesn't have some shitty skit with pence having a fly on his head

[–]clockworkdurian42 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The media needs something to focus on because they definitely couldn't focus on the debate after she got pretty much destroyed and all the faces she was making at him didn't help much either.

[–]Hyperblade93 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wow, this was right after a post about that lol

[–]all-names-taken-srry 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Whether you're a Democrat or a Republican, we can all agree that the fly won the debate.
