From the episode:
Democratic debate is Thursday Dec 19th at 9 pm Eastern (8 central, 7 mountain and 6 pacific) on your local PBS station. It'll run from 9pm until about 11pm eastern
Yeah sure we should be paying attention but damn... with all the shit going on right now in US politics, with the impeachment and the 800 candidates for the Democrats where not all are on the debate stage anyway and if they were they'd each get like 10 seconds to speak so what's the point.
I'd much prefer to end my year on a more hopeful note and watch something far more entertaining. So Bill and I have both drawn up lists of something, ANYTHING else to watch that evening.
