Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- 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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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

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!

Needling Trump is great, but I still think Kamala needs to stop begging for another debate. People have already started early voting. The time for debates is over. And if we did have another debate, the press would just latch onto something Kamala says or does and then run with it. We don’t need to be taking those kinds of risks this late in the election.
You're acting like she has the election locked up and all she can do is blow it at this point.
It looks close to a toss up at this point, and the debate was a winning thing for her before. trump and painted himself into a corner because he either takes the debate, and then they can hammer him on flip flopping, and she likely wins again, or he keeps hiding and she can chip away at that "strpng man" nonsense he is trying to paint himself as.
Sure there is an outside chance that he takes the debate and wins...but he's not taking it because even they realize what an outside chance that this.
This is a great bet by her that you would have to be stupid not to take.
No, I’m acting like it’s a close race and Kamala doesn’t need to gamble on another debate. It’s not about her “winning”. Trump’s base doesn’t care how he performs at a debate or what he says at a debate — they are going to vote for him no matter what. Kamala’s base does. She’d just be opening herself up to performance criticism and other press “gotchas” at this point. There’s just no need and it would accomplish nothing.
You're so, so close it hurts.
Yes, it's a close race. Yes, Trump's base doesn't care about how he performs. So why would you think that, this late into the race, a debate is for anyone other than undecided individuals? Do you think that Fox Entertainment continuing to do what Fox Entertainment does is going to convince undecideds? No, otherwise they wouldn't be undecided.
She already said in her media "interviews" that there isn't anything she'd have done different than Joe Biden, and then later corrected something she'll do different is hire a neocon Republican like Liz Cheney.
Harris says she backs legalizing marijuana, going further than Biden
Kamala Harris tells WPR she supports eliminating the filibuster to restore abortion rights
And then there is the life altering stance she actually took and the embarrassing withdrawal from a statement by Walz because Harris didn't agree:

Someone changing their opinion from 5 years ago? What, was she presented with new information or something?
And a Vice-presidential candidate doing what the presidential candidate tells them to do? So I guess when Kamala is in office Walz is just going to do what he's told? Hardly the role of a vice-president!
