Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

She should troll him every chance she can during the debate until he loses his shit and goes the fuck off on a tirade.

Him going off on a tirade doesn't take any trolling. That's his default state, unprovoked, regardless of what his own, actual plans were up until ten seconds ago.

Honestly surprising. I would've thought Harris would have wanted protection from Trump constantly talking over her.

I'm looking forward to her pulling out the "I'm talking" line on him like she did with Pence.

And then he ignores it.

As to not having the mics cut as a tactic so that Trump's bullying idiocy is on full display, I disagree. The idea that his ape-like behaviour is somehow a secret after nine years of his bullshit schtick is somewhat doubtful.

For comparison purposes, you need Harris' intelligent and reasoned argument immediately followed by Trump's bellowing laundry list of personal gripes, off-mark name calling, ridiculous lies and tangential remarks about sharks, electric cars and Hannibal Lector....

Then, once again, to be sharply contrasted by Harris' calm and normal description of her politics.

As fascinating as it to watch this Buffoon yelling and screaming on stage, no one will hear what Harris has to say and there will be plenty watching her for the first time waiting to hear.

Edit: Turns out that the Harris campaign wants live mics, so what do I know?

I'm way more concerned that the moderators will completely abdicate their responsibilities again. If Trump lies, which he will, frequently and obviously, they need to call that out.

I think Kamala will soundly hold her own

Hey member that time before debating Hillary when he snorted like twenty lines of coke and spent the whole debate sniffling and grinding his teeth?

[–] [email protected] 39 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Maybe Harris should call for a drug test before the debate...much like he was screaming for one before Biden's

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 months ago

Nah, his valet has clean pee exactly fir that reason
