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:

Anyone have a clock on the candidates' speaking times? It feels like Trump is doubling Harris at this point, but maybe it's just because he's so infuriating.

I did the thumbs down at the screen and then she called it back.

Love Kamala so much. I miss McCain too.

[–] negativenull@lemmy.world 15 points 2 months ago

"I fired them all! They haven't fired anyone!"

He's still living on a TV show

[–] inclementimmigrant@lemmy.world 15 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Well that was just sad to watch. The take away, Trump has concepts.

[–] Lightsong@lemmy.world 15 points 2 months ago

Trump was fired by 81 million people. Whoa lmao.

[–] empireOfLove2@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Oh my god can they pleeeeeaase leave trump's mic off and just let him stew? He's interrupted at least 5 times in a row now.
I knew this was how they're gonna do it, they're gonna let Trump butt in whenever he wants because it drives ratings.

Easy question, who should win. He can't answer.

[–] reddig33@lemmy.world 14 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Yes! Appealing to Polish Americans! Make Trump’s decisions or lack of decisions personal to voters.

He is suggesting she go sign a bill to close the border.

She's not president, you cucumber. Not yet.

That "commander in chief" statement from Harris gave me a patriotism boner.

Kamala cracking up at Trump ranting about eating the dogs. LMFAO

[–] Myxomatosis@lemmy.world 14 points 2 months ago

Oof. He just ranted about whether or not Harris is black again.

[–] reddig33@lemmy.world 13 points 2 months ago (1 children)

They are letting trump ramble again. Glad the moderator is calling out his lies about pet eating though.

Never interrupt your enemy when he's fucking his own face.

He keeps repeating she has done nothing at the border but failed to answer the direct question about why he killed the border bill?

[–] the_tab_key@lemmy.world 13 points 2 months ago (1 children)

there is no state where it is legal to kill a baby after it is born

It's crazy that they need to say that.
