Hey y’all, I’m going to try a live chat tomorrow during the debate. I’ve never done this before, so please pre-forgive me if it’s a complete fucking disaster, but Substack is promoting this feature, and I thought it might be fun to experience this historic event together.
I’ll send out another post when it begins. If you have the app, you should be able to access the chat easily via the app or web, but the app will send you a notification when it goes live.
This is a conversation space exclusively for supporting subscribers—kind of like a group chat or live hangout. I’ll post questions and insights as they occur to me, and you can jump into the discussion.
How to get started
Get the Substack app by clicking this link or the button below. New chat threads won’t be sent sent via email, so turn on push notifications so you don’t miss conversation as it happens. You can also access chat on the web.
Open the app and tap the Chat icon. It looks like two bubbles in the bottom bar, and you’ll see a row for my chat inside.
That’s it! Jump into my thread to say hi, and if you have any issues, check out Substack’s FAQ.
I'm Australian and have friends "at" both extremes of this American political royal rumble, and they each seem to need me to pick a side, no matter how much I quote Zappa. It is truly depressing.
We the fuck totally get it. Please never stop
