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!

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!

Woo. He CAN hear Kamala laughing her ass off

Not happy that the cop laughed that hard at being accused of supporting defunding the police but the bar is low.

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

Really good energy this time around, but Jesus, Trump is exhausting to listen to. No wonder crowds leave his rallies early. :)

Edit: Muted him, but I can hear my wife in the other room yelling "OH FUCK YOU!!!"

Oh my god can they pleeeeeaase leave trump's mic off and just let him stew? He's interrupted at least 5 times in a row now.
I knew this was how they're gonna do it, they're gonna let Trump butt in whenever he wants because it drives ratings.

That face again! What the fuck is it.

Again! What is he doing with his face!

I thought mics were cut how can Trump just jump in and take over?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 3 months ago

There were also specific rules about not fact checking and structure.

Abc said "come at me bro" and are just yoloing it

[–] [email protected] 17 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Yeah, it's bad, but I'm actually glad they're giving him the rope to hang himself. He's coming off so badly here.

Trump's getting the pants beat off him. Based on what happened in the most recent debate, I think his next move is to drop out and let Vance run instead.

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

He won't. His ego won't allow him.

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

Wouldn’t that be amazing. Many Maga don’t like Vance

[–] [email protected] 18 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Couches across the country living in fear right now.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

Holy shit LMAO I just died.

And some reclining in anticipation.

He doesn't even know. He doesn't even know that she is absolutely controlling this. He doesn't even know she's triggering every damn thing he says. This is almost sad.

I can't stop smiling.

"THEY'RE LETTING CRIMINALS INTO THE COUNTRY!"

"You get to be sentenced for your crimes in November..."

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

Yep. Those two quotes are going to be in an ad next to each other.

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

I thought the mic was supposed to be muted when it’s not your turn.

[–] [email protected] -2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Now i agree with the immigration thing to an extent, but he's exaggerating his argument without giving any real facts

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago (2 children)

What do you agree with? Crime is down. Refugees aren’t taking your jobs. Deportations are still happening. The current administration tried to pass a bill to beef up the borders but Republicans didn’t want to “give them a win”.

Oh, he's pissed now... and she's leading him around by the nose.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 3 months ago

Kamala is his worst nightmare.

A woman like Hilary. A brown person like Obama. And making a mockery of his entitled ass like Obama.

Just need to trigger some rage so she can scare him like Biden did.

I don't think it really hit me how badly our country was doing until I heard Linsey Davis say, "There is no state in our country where it's legal to kill a baby."

That was great though, the moderator from the top rope!

How can anyone vote for this guy? He's a glorified nut and liar.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 3 months ago

"I fired them all! They haven't fired anyone!"

He's still living on a TV show

[–] [email protected] 15 points 3 months ago (1 children)

"We don't have to fire people because we hire good people the first time."
