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!

As the vice president introduced her new running mate at an energetic rally in Philadelphia, he quickly demonstrated his ability to deliver searing attacks against Donald Trump and JD Vance.

America’s introduction to Gov. Tim Walz of Minnesota began with a half-hour of cheering for Vice President Kamala Harris and ended with some of the sharpest attacks Democrats have leveled against former President Donald J. Trump and his running mate, Senator JD Vance of Ohio.

Before a raucous crowd in Philadelphia, Ms. Harris and Mr. Walz presented the Minnesotan as a folksy former schoolteacher and football coach who had inspired his students, served in the military and improved his constituents’ lives.

But it was his ability to deliver searing yet accessible attacks against their Republican opponents that won Mr. Walz a place on the national ticket, and during his first rally, he did not miss his marks.

“Donald Trump sees the world a little differently than us,” he said. “First of all, he doesn’t know the first thing about service. He doesn’t have time for it because he’s too busy serving himself.”

Then came the dagger. “Violent crime was up under Donald Trump,” he said, before pausing for effect. “That’s not even counting the crimes he committed.”

"Missus" is pronounced as "Missiz" and abbreviated "Mrs."
"Ms" is another title of respect used to address a woman, and it's pronounced as "Miz". It's often used when a woman's marital status is unknown

I was really disappointed that he didn't throw actual punches.

Was Walz booed at for the Springsteen bit? Am I out of the loop on something?

[–] Labrad0r@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

They might have been yelling "BRUUUUUUCE". It confused me when I watched one of Springsteen's old concerts and thought the crowd was booing him.

[–] 800XL@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

I thought it was boos at first but it was definitely "BRRUUUUCCCEEEE!"

[–] modifier@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I think it was a good-natured jab and the boo was more for the idea of their governor going to Jersey to see Springsteen, but that's a guess and I bet someone local has a better take.

[–] RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

It wasn't booing. It's a Springsteen thing to chant BRUUUCE.

[–] modifier@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 months ago

Thank you, that makes perfect sense.

[–] RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

Springsteen concerts often sound like he's getting booed, because people are chanting BRUCE. That's probably why he said it too, to kinda clarify.

[–] ijon_the_human@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Thanks, makes sense!
