Of course, you’re watching the Vice Presidential Debate tonight (CBS at 9 p.m.) I’m hosting a Civil Discourse live chat so that we can watch the debate together. Paid subscribers will be able to log on and chat with me and other Civil Discourse community members when the debate gets started.
This is the only scheduled debate between Tim Walz and J.D. Vance. Vice President Harris has accepted an invitation from CNN to debate Donald Trump on CNN on October 23, but Trump has complained that it’s “too late” because Americans are already casting early ballots. Harris is airing an ad telling Trump to “say it to her face” in a debate. It’s usually the Vice Presidential nominees who are supposed to be the attack dogs, but in this election, nothing seems to work like usual.
There are a couple of ways to find the chat:
You can go to substack.com/home online, click on the “chat” icon on the left side of the page, and then click on Civil Discourse.
You can go into the Substack App (download here if you don’t already have it or in the App Store). Once you have the App, the link to chat is the two word bubbles at the bottom of the screen. Click on them, and you’ll see the Civil Discourse chat, which you can click on to enter.
Since you have to be a paid subscriber to join the chat, make sure you’re signed in using the correct email address for your account.
If you aren’t already a paid subscriber, you can still upgrade your subscription using the button below. In addition to joining the chat, you’ll get our Friday night “Five Questions With” features and the joy of knowing you’re supporting Civil Discourse.
Looking forward to chatting with you tonight!
We’re in this together,

So frustrated. Just texted with 45 yo nephew who thinks his VA benefits are set in stone. I want to cry for the lack of awareness and understanding. I sent him a portion of the 2025 document about VA benefits to look up. He won’t. I think I was overly annoyed and told him to “understand before you think you know”. I’m not good at this talking with others, little patience. A fall short.
I'm relying on Walz to showcase his public school teacher, cafeteria monitor, study hall enforcer experiences in dealing with a too big for his britches, unprincipled, duplicitous, misogynistic bully.
Go get 'em, Coach!
