Title: DU Preparing for a Bad Debate by Harris
Post by: BamaMoose on September 10, 2024, 02:05:59 AM
The DUmmies are already getting stressed out about tonight's debate going as well as the last one.

I'm out. I cannot watch tomorrow's debate.
As many of you know, I have diagnosed anxiety and it's dialed up to 15 on a 1-10 scale when I think about it. So I will tuned in to women's basketball and watch the debate replay if it goes well. Good luck, everyone.

4. Understood.

I don't know how long I'll last. I also have anxiety and I spent most of the first debate hiding in my bedroom.

5. I watched the Biden debate against my better judgement. I was miserable for a month

I’m going to go to my grandson’s baseball game instead.

22. If the debate goes well, I'll watch the replay after reading about it here first.

Much easier for my anxiety

It's like they have no faith in her abilities to actually discuss and defend her policy ideas outside of a scripted campaign speech.

19. I don't blame you.

No sense putting yourself through that. I saw my therapist today. She asked my anxiety level on a scale of 1 to 10. I said seven and depression is at 6. I said there are moments I feel hopeful, but the anxiety is always lurking. She suggested turning off main stream media, but I rarely watch it anyway, only if there is a major breaking stories, and then only MSNBC. I usually get news here or from Washington Post. I told her I can't stand to hear his voice or see his face, so I won't watch the debate.

She said to just keep up with my distraction skills like reading, spending time with my dog and cat etc. I have been trying.

She also said she would feel better if I am not alone election night. My sister is planning on staying overnight in the guest room.

This one needs a babysitter in case the election doesn't go her way.

23. Be well - - do what's right for you.

I won't be watching live either, but will record it while reading the commentaries here in DU.

I want to hear Harris though, so while watching the replay I'll fast-forward over Dump (nothing he says is worth listening to).

What's the point of watching a debate if you skip over the discussion that rebuts your preconceived ideas?

I won't watch live, will wait until Reid, Maddow, Wallace et al weigh in.

32. I avoid hearing him speak whenever possible.

Since they are not real debates, I will wait for the MSNBC interpretation.

And they wonder why we say they are incapable of thinking for themselves.

39. I've had enough with corporate media

I know what they're going to do.

Muffle her mic, use horrible camera angles and lighting on her, and make Trump look like he's 10 feet tall in a holy movie.

**** that shit

Now that we know what corporate media is willing to resort to, there never should have been a second televised debate agreed to.

Just my 2¢.

They still want to believe that Biden only looked bad at the last debate because it was somehow "fixed" by CNN.

42. Politics should not be this way

My ex is also experiencing bad anxiety issues over this ****ing prick. She's now on drugs just to get her to election day. Lord only knows what will happen to her if the con man wins.

This is total bullshit. Politics was NEVER meant to be like this. All of this, just because of the narcissist.

56. RandySF, I also suffer from anxiety and severe depression What he did to Hilary during their debates made me so upset,

He triggered me. and I cried for 2 days and stayed in bed. I won't even tell you how I felt when Hilary lost. I will follow the debate on DU. Good luck my friend and to all of us who will take care of their health by not watching that evil man.

Wow.  The mean man made me take drugs and hide in my bedroom.:panic:

If Harris crashes and burns in the debate you may see a mass suicide over there.

We should be so lucky! :lmao:

I don’t know why they are so worried, they have been praising her to high heaven that she’s the best candidate ever and a real winner. :lmao:

I’m surprised they allow people there to even have doubts about her. She’s the people’s choice, just not their choice  :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao:

That debate with Biden messed them up, bad!

The problem with living in an echo chamber is you can't talk about the truth for fear of being sent packing from the echo chamber.

Almost 100% of the media coverage is going to be favorable to Harris and negative to Trump. They know this yet they are still hesitant about even reading the reviews after a debate that hasn’t even taken place yet. But this is why they are kooks.

Be careful, kiddo. The admins have already force choked more prominent DUmp'Rats for far, far less...

This is what's funny.  They know they're going to be shown in a better light and they've been hyping how "super smart" Kamala is, yet they all want to wait for the talking heads to tell them what to say next.  And they're the ones that think all we watch is FOX News.   :lmao:

It was especially funny to me after the Biden debate and they all saw how bad it was, but less than a week later the MSM told all of them that Biden hadn't performed 'that' bad if you actually read the transcript.   :rotf:

I guess that transcript was like the one where Biden talked to the NAACP and they had to replace a bunch of his actual words with "what he really mean to say ..."

If your therapist thinks you are so unhinged that you should not be alone on election night because you may hurt yourself or others then I suggest your sister wedge the bedroom door and have a Sig P220 under the pillow. 

Dear lord the number of so called diagnosed "anxiety" conditions over there explain a great deal of why Harris is even close to President Trump in the polls.

Psychoactive drugs are rampant in America and are causing what we are witnessing today with mass shootings and freak outs in drive throughs etc.

I strongly suspect that any competent psychiatrist would consider membership by one of these loons in the DNC's little DUmp asylum on a par with "self medicating", were they to have been made aware of it.

 :rotf: What :loser: s! :rotf: They need Racist-Reid and MadCow to tell them, "This was not the disaster you know it was!"

I haven't watched a Presidential debate since 1984 or 1988, so not watching tonight's will just continue that tradition. My "dream scenario" is Kackle-a forgetting her microphone is muted, trying to interrupt Trump, and Trump retorting, "I'm speaking, Ms. Harris."

Sometimes taking some time away from politics isn't such a bad idea.

Letting left-wing news sources tell you what to think about the debate is another story.

You're assuming that the therapist(s) in question aren't just as much a "****ing nutbar" as the DUmp'Rat in question - like the fruitcakes who eschew diagnosing GENDER DYSPHORIA in favor of promoting said mental disorder as a "sexual identity".

OMG, this actually happened! https://justthenews.com/politics-policy/all-things-trump/trump-takes-harris-line-im-talking-now-if-you-dont-mind

If there is another debate Trump should use the line to talk over interrupting Immoderators.
