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!

MODERATORS
 

Final (?) Debate thread before the election in 35 days.

Debate begins at 9 PM Eastern, 6 PM Pacific and runs 90 minutes.

Vice Presidential debates are always tricky since nobody has voted for Vice President in living memory.

Expect Vance to attack Walz on his military service.

Expect Walz to attack Vance on the whole "immigrants eating cats and dogs" thing.

Expect Vance to attack Walz on being an assistant coach, at best.

Expect Walz to roll out "Weird!" at least once.

CBS has announced the burden of fact checking will be on the candidates themselves.

No one’s answering the question.

A winning comment by Walz here.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

That was a really good answer from Walz, actually.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

Is he capable of answering a single question? This is just tedious.

Trump said blah, pls respond. Lol no, here’s what I imagine Kamala might do in some alternate reality.

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

Yup. Keep going Walz, attack Trump over and over. That's all you need to do.

But he said he would have a plan 8 years ago… I think he should have more than a concept. No?

The way this evening is going for Vance:

MODERATOR: [DIRECT QUESTION]

VANCE: "I'm going to talk about something completely different now."

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

The MAGA technique

If you get the square with "The Cathedral" and are wondering what THAT Is:

It's a term related to extremist blogger Curtis Yarvin, who's in the J.D. Vance/Peter Thiel orbit:

Conclusion: Tim Walz is just too nice a guy to say what needs to be said.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

Walz pointing out that Trump does diplomacy by tweet.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

so obsessed with impeaching donald trump. yeah well that happens when you use the us presidency for blackmail. Its not obsession when a person is actually being corrupt.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

Walz has the receipts on improving the lives of the middle class.

[–] csm10495 6 points 1 month ago

Great point from Walz on trusting experts.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

LOL at Walz just out there on his own and ready and Vance like, "WTF? He's already out here?!"

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

He’s not going to answer the question….

Ha, Walz didn’t just accuse trump of being an agent of chaos – he used YOUR words to point that out, idiot.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

oh snap. walz pushing back on anti expert rhetoric from the right.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

Trump got the house republicans to turn against their own bipartisan immigration bill so he can run on the issue. Hammer that hard.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

Good lord. Can he answer ONE FUCKING QUESTION? Just one.

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

So far, I like the way the moderators are handling things.

Vance is slick, but Walz is honest. I hope people can see the difference.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

Walz hitting his stride now

We bought Beer and snacks, looking forward to Walz walzing all over Vance. 🍺🍺😀

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

Vance is... just not answering the question. His delivery is weirdly robotic.

Vance:

I want the entire Minnesota law dealing with abortion spoken verbatim, sir or my lies and misinterpreting said law will be true!

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

Federal land? We don’t have a land problem.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

hey so if vance/trump is going to have things done here instead of overseas why did trump not get that done when he was president. this is the problem (well outside all the others) with his campaign. He had his time at bat and he did not do any of these things.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

I think this is how the evening is going to go. Vance simply won't directly answer any questions.

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

This is marketing word salad, which is all you can expect from someone like Vance.
