Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- 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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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!

It could be rope-a-dope. Harris demands something that Trump actually wants. Trump has no idea what to do.
This is a real thing. They want A until you express an interest in A. Then it was always B
A classic example...

It's like dealing with an 'effin toddler.
How is this even reality at this point....jeez.
We're coming up on a decade of this. Next year will be the 10th anniversary of the golden escalator to Hell.
I remember talking to a friend of mine after he announced. We're both native New Yorkers who have watched Trump for far too long. Both of us are politically aware/active.
I told her that Trump was in the race and she told me that she didn't want to have to think about Trump.
Also, most of the crowd that greeted him that day were paid actors.
I actually think this is what they're doing. Trump would by far benefit the most from a hot mic - talking (shouting) over his opponents is like half of his debate "strategy" and it sadly usually works out for him. Even with courtroom experience I'm not sure Harris can wrangle him.
However, taunting him into accepting a more formal debate structure with muted mics and speaking in turns would take away his favourite move.
They're going to make us watch a privileged piece of garbage shout, "No, you!" As a woman is trying to speak.
The Br’er Rabbit strategy.
They’re trying to recreate the first 2020 debate. That was a disaster for Trump.
