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!

wtf do polling numbers have to do with showing up to a per-arranged debate?!

[–] fluxion@lemmy.world 54 points 3 months ago

It's crazy...they ask him questions like... will the VP be ready for the job at hand on day 1? Will you debate Harris on these issues you keep mentioning?

...and he's just like...meh, my polling numbers are fine.

Like... Do you understand this is an actual fucking job you are running for? That you VP does have roles and functions? That you should be able to defend your policies/platform?

Full on sociopath. I'm amazed we are still seriously discussing this guy as a presidential candidate.

He's still gotta wait for the audit to be done so he can release his taxes.

Trump is afraid of a GIRL.

[–] morphballganon@lemmynsfw.com 44 points 3 months ago

Woman*

He's not afraid of girls. That's the demographic he's most attracted to, after all.

[–] ampedwolfman@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

I've not see a man this afraid of a woman since Ryan Dunn.

Why did the chicken cross the road?

To get away from debating Harris

[–] just_another_person@lemmy.world 9 points 3 months ago

He's also wrong about this as well.

Guy can't help but lie.
