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!

He went from orange to yellow.

Nothing says, "normal" and, "sane" like typing up a long rant in ALL CAPS declaring, "I WON!" while your opponent holds the gold.

If he debates again he’ll get destroyed but if he doesn’t he looks weak. His debates have zero impact on his base.

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

Lol. What a chicken shit.

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

But he just said he won, why would he back out from such an easy victory? 🫠😂

Reminder.

Back before the 2016 Conventions Trump challenged Bernie Sanders to a debate. Bernie jumped at the chance and Cadet Bonespurs had to run away from his own challenge.

Get fucked, Donald.

She hurt his feelings that fucking bad yo.

That's fine. We're tired of all the winning anyway.

At least he's smart enough not to get his ass handed to him twice until election day.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 7 months ago

He's not smart, his ego just can't handle everyone, everywhere seeing what a loser he is.

Couldn't even commit to the "concepts of a plan" for a second debate

Trump's advisors were reaching for any reason to convince him he won, because they know how disastrous another debate would be.

Not to worry, we will be entertained by the Walz-Vance faceoff, though I'll admit giving TFG the talking to he's deserved since forever ago was immensely gratifying.

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

Oh hell...please let Walz begin some statement with, "Son..."

Nah, he won't do it, he's a nice guy. But it would be glorious.

Brave Sir Donald ran away. Bravely ran away away!

When danger reared its ugly head, he cravenly turned his tail and fled

Schadenfreude isn't my typical genre, but I could watch a debate a week til the election.

She needs to still show up as scheduled, say that just because trump won't make time for the American people doesn't mean she will ignore them

Either he takes the bait and shows up, or she dominates the news cycle now, before the debate, during the debate, and after it

The whole time trump won't be able to talk about anything besides the debate and how it's not "fair".

It's the common sense move, so I'll be surprised to see it, but I hope they do.

The moderator should also ask the empty podium the same question they just asked Harris, with a brief pause to emphasize that he is a no-show.

it's not like the filming of empty podiums is ahistorical.

[–] [email protected] 123 points 7 months ago (4 children)

Make it a town hall. We really do need to hear questions and answers of serious topics now that the clown has left the big top.
