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:

His eyes popped out.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 3 months ago

No credible reports of animals being hurt. Boom.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Who had 30 minutes for the O/U on eating pets?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I should have made a bingo card.

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

It doesn't matter what's on it, by now that card would be full.

Oh no. He’s gone full nutjob…

[–] [email protected] 54 points 3 months ago (3 children)

OMG, he's arguing with the moderators about whether or not a dog got eaten!

They are letting trump ramble again. Glad the moderator is calling out his lies about pet eating though.

Oh, the size of rallies is really rattling him!

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

Fact checking mods is nice to see

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

Did he answer the question?

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

DOGS AND CATS LIVING TOGETHER, MASS HYSTERIA!

[–] [email protected] 14 points 3 months ago

Kamala cracking up at Trump ranting about eating the dogs. LMFAO

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

Lmao. Can't even answer the question.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 months ago

Oh shit he's running with it! The eating cats!

[–] [email protected] 21 points 3 months ago (4 children)

"They're eating the dogs! The people... They're eating the cats!"

There's our sound byte for the evening.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Good damn, that was hilarious. And he's doubling down on it.

They’re eating the dogs, the cats, the pets!

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

She hit him on the killing the immigration bill and brought up crowd sizes. Trump’s brain can’t handle it.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago (3 children)

So far he's 0 for everything on answering a single damn question even remotely on topic

She's laughing at him, amazing.

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

This is insanity, holy shit.

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

Now he's ranting about rally sizes.

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

Holy shit. The hit on his rallies was fantastic.

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

Ooh, hit a nerve with rallies. Nicely played.

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

Ugh the mod asks a good question and he pivots to crowd size

[–] [email protected] 19 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

Kapow! Harris landed a good one. She knew where to hit him: his fragile ego about crowd sizes.

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

Seriously, she's crushing it. I love it

[–] [email protected] 18 points 3 months ago (1 children)

These moderators are so much better. Holy shit.

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

The fact checking on the eating the dogs was amazing

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Oh shit. Kamala going for a straight up low blow by talking about trump's low attendance .

Countdown to the n-word

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

Trump comes off as crazy.

Harris comes off as scripted.

Hmm.

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

I guess it's better to be intelligent than tongue-in-cheek

Get him, Kamala!

[–] [email protected] 14 points 3 months ago

Trump faceplanted on abortion. Now we're on to immigration!

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

Would he veto? I guess we'll never know

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

Infanticide. He just can’t get off that lie.

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

Oh, he brought up the Supreme Court stopping the student loan forgiveness, lol. Who made the Supreme Court super conservative?

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

He’s been a leader on the fertilization everyone 😂😂😂

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Why are they still arguing about abortion. Everything Kamala has said so far about the topic is quite unrefutable

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

Because, like all women with half a brain cell, the female moderator is fucking pissed about losing basic human rights and is going to make sure the American people get some semblance of an answer.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 3 months ago

Okay. Fuck abc for unmuting him whenever he talks but holy shit the female moderator is doing her job. Fact checking and follow up questions.
