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!

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:

I thought the mic was supposed to be muted when it’s not your turn.

Sounding awfully weird right now, Donald.

"no judge looked at it. They said we didn't have standing"

Holy shit this is going to be fun drinking rather than depressed drinking.

‘Most divisive’ because of you, you TWAT.

“We don’t have to discuss it…” because the answer makes me look bad

Now he's ranting about rally sizes.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago (3 children)

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

I want Trump to attempt to say aspirations.

How likely is Trump to show signs of being a Biden in this debate?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Biden's problem was looking lost when Trump was speaking and he wasn't. Stewart called it "Resting 25th Amendment Face".

Trump never looks lost, even when he has no clue where he's going.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

Not even an answer. She should just ask "last of your plan".

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

ABC is really milking the opportunity during the pre-show to push its news division, and to show commercials for all of their TV shows. It’s like an hour long infomercial.

Just saw that Tim Walz is hosting a watch party: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iRwJpRtb6C4

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