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!

She will absolutely destroy Trump in the press, any PR talking points, and debates. The contrast will make him look weak and feeble, which really was what the RNC was going to try and do with Biden. This demolishes whatever lame and taunted campaign they had planned to run, where Harris can literally just rebrand all of Biden's campaign materials. It's a decent plan. She needs an absolutely mind meltingly popular VP pick though, because Trump doesn't have that.

I fuckin hope so man.

The imagination of Trump in the debate with Harris with her experience as a prosecutor and him getting extra salty and unhinged about it because it's a woman making him look stupid is definitely at least a little bit appealing.

I just hope corporate news has the good graces to not shit all over her for at least 24 hours.

Ha ha. Ha ha ha.

It's certainly a concern.

I'm sorry, but HARD disagree. Trump will always win the debates to Trumpers. As a conservative, I unfortunately have to interact with Trumpers. They thought he won because he talked over Biden. Talking points? Doesn't matter. Logic? Doesn't matter. He just has to "shut down" Biden by not letting him speak and talking louder. In their eyes, Harris will get absolutely destroyed

I don't think anyone is really caring about his die-hard cult members. I'm specifically talking about people who are/were undecided somehow. She will make him look weak, idiotic, and just flat shut him down on his bullshitting and lies. He's afraid of her, and showing that on a national stage will remind people what he really is. Guarantee to see a shift in polling if they debate, which he's trying to worm his way out of now because he's afraid of her.
