it feels like the whiteness of big political media spaces right now is having a big effect on how people are thinking about the debate. eg I have seen relatively little discussion of trump's "black jobs" comment, which immediately exploded on black twitter

Both the “black jobs” remark and using palestinian as a slur are hopefully clarifying as to actual Trump’s ideology and worldview, in contrast with the imaginary trump some people have built up in their heads as the memory of his administration has receded

Could have been so much worse for trump, too, if his opponent had been agile enough to invite him to elaborate on what, exactly, he thinks a “black job” is
or if, you know, the debate moderators could manage a follow up

This was the format they both agreed on. Seems like a big blunder when your opponent is a known liar
