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!

MODERATORS
 

Was tempted to call this "Debate 2: Electric Boogaloo" but a) A lot of Lemmy won't get the OG reference. and 2) "Boogaloo" has been co-opted and carries an unfortunate connotation these days.

Also, while it's Trump's 2nd debate of the season, it's Harris's first...

It's being run by ABC News at 9 PM Eastern time, 6 PM Pacific, I see MSNBC starts their coverage TWO HOURS EARLY. That's a lot of air time to fill, guys. Good luck!

Live updates, how and when to watch, debate rules, etc. here:

That't it! Thanks for hanging with it everbody!

Anyone have a clock on the candidates' speaking times? It feels like Trump is doubling Harris at this point, but maybe it's just because he's so infuriating.

"We have so many facts and statistics"

Has failed to mention any facts or statistics throughout this debate

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago

"no judge looked at it. They said we didn't have standing"

Holy shit this is going to be fun drinking rather than depressed drinking.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 months ago

Will he ever shut up about the border? This guy is so painful to listen to

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I will say the moderator should be a lot stricter on time limits.

“I agree we need Walz, that’s why he’s my VP; not some couch fucker.”

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

You lost you buffoon!

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago

Funny that he says debunked but lists only a single source that lost a 3/4 of a billion dollars for lying.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 months ago

"Sarcastically"

[–] [email protected] 12 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Every time Trump wants to change what he said, he just pretends he said it sarcastically.

He keeps talking about "he needs to get in here and sign a bill, he signs a bill the border will be closed". (After going completely non-sequitir about January 6th).

Holy shit. He dead ass thinks he's still debating Biden. Haaaaaaaaaaa

[–] [email protected] 14 points 3 months ago (1 children)

He is suggesting she go sign a bill to close the border.

She's not president, you cucumber. Not yet.

He keeps repeating she has done nothing at the border but failed to answer the direct question about why he killed the border bill?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

Hannity debunked it! lol!

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 months ago

He's rambling and incoherent again. But very angry about it.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 months ago

Holy cow. I wish I had me some popcorn.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 3 months ago (2 children)

"Stand back and stand by." I'd forgotten that one. God, Trump is so unremittingly awful it's hard to actually keep track of all the horrible shit he says and does.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 months ago

Remember when that was the most horrifying and insurrectionist thing about trump?

Good times

I can't wait for them to discuss how they're going to fix the housing crisis, give us universal healthcare, and raise the minimum wage...

[–] [email protected] 19 points 3 months ago (2 children)

That was nice Billy Madison moment when the moderator reminded Trump he didn't answer the question.

They're letting Trump get away with murder here. I expected nothing but am still disappointed. He's basically running with a hot mic while Kamala has to wait for her turn. Unbelievable.

Unsurprisingly he's also bulldozing the hosts in typical fashion. They at least seem to occasionally try some pushback against him, but they seem woefully incapable of actually controlling him.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago (1 children)

It would be nice if they grew a spine and just muted him and talked right over him.

This tactic was one of the big reasons people voted against him in 2020.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

He can't admit any fault or admit remorse! He's incapable of it! I'm both amazed and repulsed by this, lmao.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

Yes, rein him back in. (Or try anyhow)

[–] [email protected] 19 points 3 months ago

He said no one died on January 6th except for Babbit. Guess he's anti police.

"With solar, you need a whole desert. Have you ever seen a solar plant? But I'm a big fan of solar."

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 months ago

Apparently he hates and loves solar lol

[–] [email protected] 13 points 3 months ago

Wasting that precious desert soil.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 3 months ago (2 children)

the prices were going up the roof. They let the guys go where they're going

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 months ago

Those are certainly all words.

He doesn't know fuck about shit. Lol

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Honestly that was a word salad by both of them but Trump is just off the rails with insanity.

Also, has this fucker ever been in the desert? I live here, there ain't shit there and is take solar over some stupid ass crops that don't grow there.
