CBS: paid family leave: how long should employers be required to pay?
W: that’s negotiable; big companies provide paid family medical leave; Harris has made it a priority; we have it MN; those of you who don’t have it, just imagine if you get cancer? no paycheck; T is beholden to billionaires; paid leave supports families
V: (same question) brings up his wife and children; working mom; cultural pressure; “we should have a family care that makes choice possible” “let’s say you want your church to provide childcare” “you don’t get access to federal money” “unacceptable” people feel like they don’t have options
DID NOT ANSWER QUESTION
CBS: Federal Reserve says people spend as much on childcare as on housing ea month; is T committed to child tax credit?
V: we will penalize companies who ship jobs overseas, “money will be coming in”
CBS: how does this fix shortage of childcare?
V: [nonanswer]
W: issue here is the tariffs take money away from families that need to pay for childcare; will not fund; slags Wharton
CBS: there was no widespread fraud in 2020 election; Sen V, you said you would not certifiy and you would want alternative electors. Would you certify results?
V: totally sidesteps; “DT said there were problems in 2020” “we should debate those issues” is glossing over Jan6 violence; now “threat of censorship” “big technology companies being silenced” (WTAF) is now talking abt Tulsi Gabbard and RFKjr endorsements
W: “this is troubling; DT lost the election, and said he didn’t”
brings up deaths; “hang Mike Pence”; “a president’s words matter”; “to deny what happened in Jan6; this has got to stop”
V: says “Tim”; is TOTALLY GASLIGHTING w “DT peacefully gave up power”
I appreciate you all (especially @j9c) for doing this thread. It’s been a rough week and I just don’t have the emotional bandwidth to watch the debate.
Walz won that exchange, especially “That is a damning non-answer.” Vance knew he was toast and tried to deflect by defending the right to spread misinformation?
Wondering just how much Peter Thiel is pushing Vance to advocate for “Big Tech” rights? Vance sure did make a lot of refs to poor poor lil ol’ Big Tech and how there’s bad censorship re Russia’s ad buy to influence presidential election.
