Watched the debate

It was... something. I'm very glad I watched with friends, both IRL and online, with Twitter almost continuously open. It was really validating to know that other people were WTFing at the exact same things as me.

Obviously I haven't been talking much about this presidential campaign. In a way, there's both too much and not enough to say. Right now it feels like there isn't much left to do besides continuously reload 538 and pray.

I couldn't bear to watch; I just continuously reloaded 538's liveblog. There were enough comments for me to get the gist.

I think we're all doing what you were at this point.

That's what I did last time, followed along via Twitter and other social media. But I usually go to a friend's house for TV on Sunday nights (right now we're watching Broadchurch and Jane the Virgin), and one of our regulars wanted to watch the debate. I haven't decided if I'll bother with the third one.

I couldn't watch. I just gathered the important bits from friends with more emotional fortitude afterward.

I made the mistake of watching it. O_o

Watching Samantha Bee's show the next evening was my antidote.

Given that the latest polling and endorsements shows women running away from Trump in droves, hopefully the republicans are about to take a big loss. Although, I am not counting my chickens before they've hatched but hopefully friday was the beginning of the end. Hopefully.

hopefully.
