Is anyone on the fence going to be swayed by a debate anyway? I think the people who are really not sure about which way to vote at this point likely can't be reasoned out of wasting their vote on some third party.

To anyone reading this that is considering voting 3rd party, my advice is to vote dem and then put as much political pressure on the democrats as possible the other 364 days of the year. The alternative, while maybe morally pure, is a lot less workable and doesn't benefit others.

"There is a strong sense by many in the Democrat Party - namely Barack Hussein Obama - that Kamala Harris is a Marxist fraud who cannot beat President Trump, and they are still holding out for someone 'better.'

Hmmmmmmmm...

Somebody better tell Obama then so he can retract his endorsement.

Well Trump is a sex offender so I agree it's inapropriate to have any unsupervised interaction with other women

At least he admits he isn't in the same class as her.

[-] Fedizen@lemmy.world 22 points 3 months ago

This is the same reason he didn't show up to the republican debates: he knows he can't keep up with anyone.

[-] radivojevic@discuss.online 22 points 3 months ago

He can’t handle that he will lose to a woman. He’s got nothing to fight her with except insults about women.

So... Biden wasn't the nominee yet but he did a debate. Harris isn't the nominee yet but... What?

This is hilarious. Will this help more than going into a debate? Likely not, but they will have to do one after a nomination, right?

"There is a strong sense by many in the Democrat Party - namely Barack Hussein Obama - that Kamala Harris is a Marxist fraud who cannot beat President Trump, and they are still holding out for someone 'better.'"

One thing I learned from the Bush II Admin was that you can run on stirring up rhetoric for a while--worked well enough to make him a two term President--but at a certain point, your policies have to align to reality or you will have catastrophic failure. There are also levels of making shit up, and the statement above might be more making shit up than anything Bush II ever pulled.

Donnie doesn't want to debate?

Running scared

[-] skozzii@lemmy.ca 15 points 3 months ago

Trump running scared from a black woman, wow, I thought was supposed to be a "strongman" not the little bitch that he is. Draft dodging POS.

I'm not even American, but I'm gonna tune in for the debate, when it happens. It should be entertaining.

[-] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 14 points 3 months ago

Damn. I lost that bet.

I thought it'd take longer than this. Mostly for trump to figure out which words to use. he has trouble with multi-syllabic words.

[-] Etterra@lemmy.world 13 points 3 months ago

Translation: he's scared he'll one-up his declining showmanship. Or more likely his advisors are and fed him some ego-shielding bullshit that let's him get out of it and tell his cult that it's her fault.

[-] YeetPics@mander.xyz 13 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

I would love for them to meet on stage and Kamala runs up and grabs trump.

Trump flips out "wh..what are you doing Kamala?!"

Kamala scoffs "pfft, I'm grabbing them by the PUSSY, you dipshit"

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!
