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!

Schadenfreude isn't my typical genre, but I could watch a debate a week til the election.

Hold onto your butts. Already seeing tons of comments about it's Kamala who is refusing debates. Man, the spin is so crazy

But he just said he won, why would he back out from such an easy victory? 🫠😂

[–] scripthook@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago

If he debates again he’ll get destroyed but if he doesn’t he looks weak. His debates have zero impact on his base.

Get fucked, Donald.

At least he's smart enough not to get his ass handed to him twice until election day.

[–] XOXOX@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago

He's not smart, his ego just can't handle everyone, everywhere seeing what a loser he is.

[–] troed@fedia.io 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

That's fine. We're tired of all the winning anyway.

She hurt his feelings that fucking bad yo.

What about a vice-presidential debate—is that still in the works?

[–] TommySoda@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

I say this is the best outcome. Keep the absolute disaster of a debate the biggest thing people think about when they compare the two candidates for as long as possible.

[–] IchNichtenLichten@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

If Harris pulls away in the polls, he'll come crawling back.

[–] AnitaAmandaHuginskis@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Oh, this fffff...... former president... /s

[–] hperrin@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

Lol. What a chicken shit.

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

That's hilarious. What a pathetic weakling running home with his tail between his legs 😂😂😂
