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!

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.

Why does Vance look so airbrushed?

[–] reddig33@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

I think his suit is ill fitting. Maybe this is a Republican thing tho. Trump always wears suits that’s too big for him.

lol what “experts” said that? You mean greedy business executives? Pretty sure they aren’t considered experts.

[–] monkeyslikebananas2@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

And yet you somehow turned out to be a gross little shit

CNN pundits saying "Vance was obviously the better debater" and "Walz really dropped the ball and let Vance get away with too much"

What the fuck does empowering the border agents mean? They are doing their jobs.

[–] LillyPip@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 months ago

Does this moron think the VZp is a god in the system? Why didn’t trump do these things when he was president???

[–] Substance_P@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

Ouch on calling other parts of the world dirty

[–] WoahWoah@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Walz seems really nice. And the VP doesn't usually matter that much. But it sure would be nice if that was Buttigieg or Shapiro up there. Buttigieg loves sparring with Republicans. He is a great attack dog, but thats not really what Walz's role seems to be, and that's OK, but considering the election is a coin flip, I just want every fraction of a percent of support Harris can get.

They’re both soft-balling this. Lean harder, Walz. He’s giving you ammunition!

We'll induce more people into child care!

Here we go. Thoughts and prayers.

Economics experts have PhDs don't have common sense?

[–] WoahWoah@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Stiff and stumbly out of the gate. Nothing awful though.

[–] HubertManne@moist.catsweat.com 3 points 2 months ago

as long as he concentrates on the fundamentals :)

[–] N0body@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 months ago

Vance probably has marching orders to attack Harris at the cost of making himself look bad. The question is whether he passes on the chance to change his own narrative.
