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.

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

[–] Substance_P@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

A winning comment by Walz here.

[–] Substance_P@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

Really, by getting rid of the EPA?

[–] N0body@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 2 months ago

Venture Capitalism! Name the monster.

[–] unemployedclaquer@sopuli.xyz 5 points 2 months ago

Vance: mah family, so relevant

[–] smokebuddy@lemmy.today 5 points 2 months ago (2 children)

In the last Canadian debate one of the questions was that if you reduce housing prices how will the elderly who own all the houses afford their retirement. I thought it was ridiculous, but it's interesting that it's not even in the discussion tonight

And Vance is simply refusing to answer the question about child separation. He simply won't.

[–] LillyPip@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 months ago

Your running mate tried to refuse aid to natural disasters a few years ago to areas that didn’t rim him hard enough. Were you not paying attention?

[–] monkeyslikebananas2@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Wtf is Vance talking about? So he’s going to continue separating families, got it.

but Trump isn’t actually going to work to make solar panels in the US or anywhere. This is a non answer that “they haven’t solved all the problems, so we should do nothing.”

[–] kescusay@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

I don't think the experts Walz was talking about and the "experts" Vance is talking about are the same experts.

[–] Substance_P@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

Lol.. number one export being top soil from flooding.

[–] monkeyslikebananas2@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

Another non answer. No plan

[–] HubertManne@moist.catsweat.com 5 points 2 months 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.

[–] NineMileTower@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

Oh shit, Tim just sunk JD's battleship.

[–] kescusay@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Vance talking over the moderators, now. That won't play well.

Cutting both their mics was great. I want more of that, please.

[–] Substance_P@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

Ouch on the Haitian call.

[–] Dreamless4561@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I don’t know the details, but I’ll talk about identity politics instead of addressing the number 1 problem right now.

e: and loop back to the border!!

[–] LillyPip@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 months ago

Maybe people don’t agree with you because you’re a misogynistic dipshit.

So your ex-baby mama is watching. I feel bad for her for ever having crossed your path.

[–] monkeyslikebananas2@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

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

Bust unions and give the rich tax breaks is the spirit animal of not just Trump, but all the GOP.

[–] monkeyslikebananas2@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

Solving those things in the past! Stop worrying about the future!

[–] smokebuddy@lemmy.today 5 points 2 months ago

pretty sure America has legalized slave labour via the prison system

[–] smokebuddy@lemmy.today 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Every article I read speculating on the debate brought up Walz' response to the Minnesota protests but it didn't even come up unless I missed it? I was half expecting JD's closing statement to try and attack Tim on it, also half expecting it to turn into a pitch to sign up for Truth and Rumble
