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!

Was tempted to call this "Debate 2: Electric Boogaloo" but a) A lot of Lemmy won't get the OG reference. and 2) "Boogaloo" has been co-opted and carries an unfortunate connotation these days.

Also, while it's Trump's 2nd debate of the season, it's Harris's first...

It's being run by ABC News at 9 PM Eastern time, 6 PM Pacific, I see MSNBC starts their coverage TWO HOURS EARLY. That's a lot of air time to fill, guys. Good luck!

Live updates, how and when to watch, debate rules, etc. here:

I wish someone would ask Trump what a tariff is and how China pays it. They just let him get away with it.

Infanticide. He just can’t get off that lie.

I'm generally watching this to see if there's a performance that will genuinely move the polls, but I just don't know. I tend to believe there are very, very few undecided voters, so I'm not sure anything could be said here that's going to swing those voters. At this point it's about not losing support and motivating your supporters.

In that regard, I think Harris is doing well, and I don't think Trump has to do very well. His supporters just want him to communicate anger and hate. He has seemed able to barely trip over that very low bar.

His rebuttals are pretty much DARVO. You can also tell he's getting fired up and tripping up.

Holy fuck the moderator fact checked trump on late stage abortion

Back to the non-sequitur of pipelines. Dude has a unhealthy fascination about hard pipes flowing sticky liquid.

The fuck? Blaming the victims of police abuse? How fucking classy.

So Trumps entire strategy amounts to "I'm rubber, you're glue"?

Honestly that was a word salad by both of them but Trump is just off the rails with insanity.

Also, has this fucker ever been in the desert? I live here, there ain't shit there and is take solar over some stupid ass crops that don't grow there.

[–] kescusay@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

He's rambling and incoherent again. But very angry about it.

[–] ccunning@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

“Terrah”?

[–] Petter1@lemm.ee 8 points 1 year ago

[–] GrammarPolice@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

So... This will be the last debate huh? I think Trump is going to go nuclear after this.

Here come the insults. He's cooked. He knows he's cooked.

Well just another deranged non answer.

[–] 14th_cylon@lemm.ee 8 points 1 year ago

"we don't have in a candidate to my right ability not to be confused about facts" 😂

[–] LillyPip@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 year ago

She’s right, the laughing is on video.

[–] N0body@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Harris really, really needs to nail Trump on blocking the bipartisan immigration bill. Speaker Johnson was on board until Trump intervened for the sole purpose of running on the issue.

This is the time that people who don’t follow politics and don’t know that are paying attention.
