Last (Vice) Presidential Debate?

Posted on October 13, 2020 by climatechangefork

Like many others, I watched the vice-presidential debate on Wednesday evening (October 7th) with relatively low expectations. I figured that it would be much more civilized than the first presidential debate but would not have much new to offer. That’s … Continue reading →
