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!

Hopefully they mute his mic when he tries talking over everyone.

In addition, I hope Kamala constantly calls him out for not actually answering any questions.

They're on Fox a week earlier, so they'll end up muting Harris when she fact checks him.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 months ago

It's my understanding she has only agreed to the ABC debate on the 10th.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 months ago

Harris isn't accepting the Fox invitation, because it's a stunt to get Trump out of debating at all unless it's rigged for him.

If she did accept the invite, I can't stress enough how stupid an idea that is.

If she accepts the Fox debate, they will manipulate the event to make her look bad and Trump good. It won't be a real debate, and the hacks at Fox will ensure that it's just a thinly veiled campaign event for Trump.

After declaring himself the victor, he'll drop out of any other debates as "unnecessary" since he already "beat" Kamala.

If she doesn't take the bait, she gets to call Trump a coward for refusing to debate at all, and he has no advantage and no excuse.

She is going to mop the stage with him.
