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:

Harris has managed to remain optimistic this whole time. I'm genuinely impressed.

I wish they just had 45min clocks, and whenever their microphone are hot, their timer goes down. It would be hilarious to see Trump yelling inaudibly for the last 25min of all debates.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 months ago (1 children)

So Trumps entire strategy amounts to "I'm rubber, you're glue"?

“She puts out”

I hope I didn’t hear what I just heard.

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

I did a double take on that one too

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

‘Most divisive’ because of you, you TWAT.

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

Oof. He just ranted about whether or not Harris is black again.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 3 months ago (2 children)

I ventured over to Twitter to see what Trumpers are mad about...

They're mad the moderators keep fact checking Trump but not fact checking Harris. 🤣

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

Thanks for taking one for the team!

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

These moderators are only calling out lies! Those biased bastards!

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

I want Trump to attempt to say aspirations.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 months ago (2 children)

I wonder if he'll go full racist after the rebuttal.

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

Kamala didn't push enough buttons. Gonna stick to rich white racism rather than full n-word

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

He put his tail between his legs, went back on it, denied it.

In case anyone has forgotten re Afghanistan:

Trump admitted that it was his own doing:

speaking at a rally on 26 June [2021, he] even stated that he “started the process” and claimed Biden “couldn’t stop it” if he “wanted to”.

This fucker sold out the Afghan government and got soldiers killed because he's incompetent.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

He's doing the hands thing lol.

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

I missed that. Was he playing the accordion again?

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

Yeah, and you didn’t include Afghanistan’s president to that negotiation, you twat!
