Third Presidential Debate

Secular Talk on Twitter: "Biden: "I don't see red states and blue states, I see the united states of America", corny as fuck but it's landing since he's standing next to adult Eric Cartman. #Debates2020" / Twitter

Katie Hill on Twitter: "YESSS he said malarkey ❤️" / Twitter
Joe Biden?

nikki mccann ramírez on Twitter: "Trump says only undocumented immigrants with "the lowest I.Q." show up for court dates. https://t.co/PGfACHibXt" / Twitter
then
hasanabi on Twitter: "trump 3 minutes later: "I am the least racist person in this room"" / Twitter

hasanabi on Twitter: "FINALLY FUCKING BIDEN SAYS "IT WAS A REPUBLICAN CONGRESS" THAT STOPPED THEIR ADMIN EVERY STEP OF THE WAY!!!!! WHY IS THAT SO FUCKING HARD FOR DEMS TO MENTION?!?!!?!??!!" / Twitter

The Humanist Report🌹 on Twitter: "The difference in rhetoric between Trump and Biden on climate change is night and day. #Debates2020" / Twitter

Daniel Dale on Twitter: "Trump is just lying when he says Biden would get rid of private health insurance for 180 million. ..." / Twitter
Trump is just lying when he says Biden would get rid of private health insurance for 180 million. Biden has vocally rejected a Sanders-style “Medicare for All” that’d eliminate most private plans. He wants to let people enter a Medicare-like “public option” if they choose.

Now, there are legitimate questions about how a robust public option would affect the availability of private plans over time. (https://nytimes.com/2019/12/03/upshot/public-option-medicare-for-all.html ) But Biden is not proposing to get rid of all private plans as Trump keeps saying or suggesting.

Senator Jeff Merkley on Twitter: "Pro tip: If you say you're the least racist person in the room, you're quite likely the most racist person in the room." / Twitter

Kamala Harris on Twitter: "Just last ​month,​ Donald Trump stood on a​ debate stage ​and refused to condemn white supremacists.

This isn’t the first time he’s been an apologist for racists. When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time." / Twitter

Tom Nichols on Twitter: "Biden says that the crime bill in the 80s was a mistake. Good for him. No equivocating. #Debates2020" / Twitter
That was the 1994 crime bill, so he was a little off on the date.

Pramila Jayapal on Twitter: "Trump said immigrant children are "well taken care of." Nothing could be further from the truth.

He tore them from their parents' arms. Put them in cages. Forced them to sleep on concrete floors. If they were lucky, they got a tinfoil blanket.

He is cruel, inhumane, harmful." / Twitter
 
Marc Lamont Hill on Twitter: ""I'm the least racist person in this room" - Trump to a Black journalist." / Twitter
with reactions
Tanya St.Julien on Twitter: "@marclamonthill He said it three times. Lawd." / Twitter
and
Rashida Tlaib on Twitter: "Biggest lie of the night." / Twitter

Secular Talk on Twitter: "Biden says nobody should go to jail for a drug problem. I wish he believed this his entire career. #Debates2020" / Twitter

Ana Kasparian on Twitter: "I just want to note that I did everything that I subtly asked @cenkuygur not to do during the debate. I kept talking as Trump said ridiculous things. I should be apologetic, but I’m not. I applaud Cenk for his self control tonight because Trump’s lies are TRASH." / Twitter

Likely referring to something Trump said:
Cori Bush on Twitter: "AOC +3? Hate to break it to you, but it’s about to be a lot more than 3.

Actually, I don’t hate to break it to you 💁🏾*♀️" / Twitter
I'll have to hunt down a transcript of the debate.
 
You're going to have to explain to those of us who couldn't stand to watch.

ETA: Please? :)
 
Hemant Mehta on Twitter: "The biggest takeaway: The head of the Republican Party (and the person most white evangelicals will vote for) said he doesn't care about the 545 children whose parents were separated from them at the border and who can no longer be found. https://t.co/3kGFLa3sX6" / Twitter

Jessica Cisneros on Twitter: "My mom probably had the best take: “A Trump le hace falta amor al prójimo.” Amén." / Twitter
Google Translate: Trump lacks love of neighbor.

Seems like it was from something Trump said:
Melanie D'Arrigo on Twitter: "Republicans finally figured out that the #GreenNewDeal & eliminating fossil fuels is just a stepping stone to our ultimate goal — abolishing the large-window industry.

#TinyWindowsForAll 🙄
#Debates2020" / Twitter

I searched again for a debate transcript. I failed, though I could find transcripts of the two earlier debates.
Fact check: The final 2020 presidential election debate - CNNPolitics
5 falsehoods, all by Trump: 4 about the coronavirus, 1 about Russia.

"This is a breaking story and will be updated." -- looks like it's incomplete.

A transcript of the debate should be much less painful. I've been searching for one, but I can't find any.

But I suspect that "AOC+3" is a reference to AOC's Green New Deal. She herself has responded:

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Twitter: "It’s actually AOC plus 115 because that’s how many House and Senate members have cosponsored the most ambitious climate legislation in American history." / Twitter

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Twitter: "I am so deeply proud of & grateful for each + every one of my House and Senate colleagues who stand for our future & champion the #GreenNewDeal, the boldest climate plan in US history.

Here they are below. If you can, tweet them a thank you tonight: https://t.co/1pYcjeCzDt" / Twitter

Then a link to the list of cosponsors of that resolution:
Cosponsors - H.Res.109 - 116th Congress (2019-2020): Recognizing the duty of the Federal Government to create a Green New Deal. | Congress.gov | Library of Congress - AOC with 101 cosponsors

Here's the Senate version:
Cosponsors - S.Res.59 - 116th Congress (2019-2020): A resolution recognizing the duty of the Federal Government to create a Green New Deal. | Congress.gov | Library of Congress - Ed Markey with 14 cosponsors
 
I wish the moderator was able to ask Trump “so you are saying you are less racist than I am?”
 
Cori Bush on Twitter: "Pickles with peppermint sticks or Now & Laters stuck down in them have done more for black people than @realDonaldTrump 🤷🏾*♀️ #debates2020" / Twitter

Seems like Trump claimed yet again that nobody has done more for black people than him, except for Abe Lincoln.

mackenzie ❀ on Twitter: "@AOC when he said you don't know anything about the environment I almost spit out my drink" / Twitter

Trump about AOC, I'm sure.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Twitter: "If someone told me 3 years ago, while I was waitressing to help my family stay afloat, that in a few short years an unhinged President of the United States would be repeatedly saying my name at the 2020 debate, I would’ve brought them some water and told them to sober up." / Twitter

Seems like I'll have a lot to search for in that transcript. In any case, three years ago, she was in her first campaign for office, going door to door with the help of some fellow progressive activists and fellow Bernie Sanders campaigners.
 
Ayanna Pressley on Twitter: "Living in his head rent free is something. (links)" / Twitter
With a picture of AOC, Rashida Tlaib, Ilhan Omar, and Ayanna Pressley.

I think that AP was referring to Trump's repeatedly mentioning AOC. Much like Fox News and other movement conservatives being obsessed with her.

AOC herself on that picture: Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Twitter: "Sisterhood is everything. https://t.co/KxfdnAxuq0" / Twitter

BTW, the rev.com transcript appears to be finished, though it has some misattributions in it, some obviously Trump things attributed to Biden.

He said 3 times that "I am the least racist person". AOC + 3 is the four ladies mentioned above.
They came out and said very strongly $6,500 will be taken away from families under his plan, that his plan is an economic disaster. If you look at what he wants to do, if you look at his plan, his- (crosstalk) … his environmental plan, do you know developed it? AOC plus three, they know nothing about the climate. I mean, she’s got a good line of stuff, but she knows nothing about the climate and they’re all hopping through hoops for AOC plus three. Look, their real plan cost a hundred trillion dollars. If we had the best year in the history of our country for a hundred years, we would not even come close to a number like that. When he says buildings, they want to take buildings down because they want to make bigger windows into smaller windows. As far as they’re concerned, if you had no window, it would be a lovely thing.

This is the craziest plan that anybody has ever seen and this wasn’t done by smart people. This wasn’t done by anybody. Frankly, I don’t even know how it can be good politically. They want to spend a hundred trillion dollars. That’s their real number. He’s trying to say it was six. It’s a hundred trillion dollars. They want to knock down buildings and build new buildings with little, tiny, small windows and many other things-

Seems like he heard something or other on Fox & Friends about wanting smaller windows, something that he never tried to clarify.
 
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Twitter: "I wonder if Republicans understand how much they advertise their disrespect of women in debates when they consistently call women members of Congress by nicknames or first names while using titles & last names when referring to men of = stature.

Women notice. It conveys a lot." / Twitter
then
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Twitter: "AOC is a name given to me by community & the people. Y’all can call me AOC.

Government colleagues referring to each other in a public or professional context (aka who don’t know me like that) should refer to their peers as “Congresswoman,” “Representative,”etc. Basic respect 101" / Twitter


Bathsheba on Twitter: "@AOC Same thing in NZ, the LOTO and media constantly referring to our PM as Cindy or Miss Ardern. They always bring up her time working in a fish n chips shop too." / Twitter
She's Jacinda Ardern. So NZ right-wingers attack her for having had a lower-middle-class job, just like US right-wingers with AOC.

Trump likes disparaging nicknames, like Lyin' Ted, Low-Energy Jeb, Little Marco, Nervous Nancy, Shifty Schiff, and Sleepy Joe.
