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:

Kamala belongs in prison. Because she just murdered Trump! 🤣🤣🤣

I was in class when the debate happened, and too much Trump is exhausting - I'm watching the Daily Show recap right now. Something I've noticed is that somebody actually did Trump's makeup correctly for the debate, he didn't look like an Oompa Loompa for once.

Repeal and replace! Infrastructure week!

Holy cow. I wish I had me some popcorn.

Will he ever shut up about the border? This guy is so painful to listen to

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Good hit by Kamala about selling chips to China to benefit their military. That’s something Trump voters can easily understand.

I'll have to see if it's streaming since it's morning where I am. Not sure I want to see the impeached convicted criminal that much, however; might wait for the highlights reel. Edit: spelling.

What a pleasant shift in mood here from the last debate. The general outlook here was grim after last time, but it's actually positive now.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago (3 children)

Harris sounds nervous and needs water. She's hiding it pretty well, but she also gets that kind of pursed, constricted voice when she's nervous. I hope she smooths and gets comfortable. She seems much more prepared but much more automated than Trump. She can't sound like she's on the stump. She's got to take some swings that don't sound like a recording.

DOGS AND CATS LIVING TOGETHER, MASS HYSTERIA!

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

She opened with an actual opening argument. And she keeps bringing the receipts. Over and over. He's completely reactive to her.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

Yep. She's controlling this.

And he hates it.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

Funny that he says debunked but lists only a single source that lost a 3/4 of a billion dollars for lying.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

Trump getting rattled, and starting to slur. His meds are already wearing off

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

I just hope they both have a lot of fun!

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

Spheres of terror.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

Ooh. Tariffs right of the bat. Here we go.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Ah. His solution is a time machine.

He fell for the Wharton reference. She’s doing fantastic so far.
