Highly doubt there will be a 2nd debate since Harris has already killed him. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- 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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.

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!

He's awfully noisy for a corpse.
...please don't tell me this a new problem we have to worry about.
New pandemic just shipped!
Holy Hell!
Actual zombie
Says the man who immediately wanted another debate with Biden after winning the first one
There’s no point in debating a pathological liar, especially when a large portion of voters are easily duped and fact checking in real time is sub par and depending on the network, completely nonexistent.
It just acts as a free misinformation/propaganda mass dissemination tool
All day on Twitter the Trumpers have been foaming at the mouth trying to prove "illegals" are eating pets now in the US. Dumbasses.
Either actual room temperature IQ Trumpanzees or Russian bots. 🤖
Twitter (shitter) is a cesspool of misinformation.
Well, it is owned by Trump's wannabe propaganda minister...
The thing thats baffling about musk doing propaganda is it almost feels insulting. Like the right went from Goebbels who more or less wrote the book on propaganda, to Musk who just acts like a child on the internet. Like im glad they have degraded this badly since WW2 but still.
That's also the part I'm glad about. Not to put the Nazis on a pedestal or anything, but propaganda was something they took serious. Now it seems more like the right accidentally hits the notes their followers want to hear.
Yeah, I agree. Still feels like I was promised a fight with a grizzly bear and instead got a black bear instead. Still dangerous regardless but well, though social media is a plague apon mankind which means the average person is also more susceptible. So while not a worthy fight per se its still an annoyingly hard one.
Was just about to comment this too. They just believe it without a single bit of doubt. They're a lost cause. There is no way you can deradicalize these fuckers.
No efficient way.
There are very efficient ways...they're not moral (debatable)
Well, according to Trump, Harris is a Marxist. Are political reeducation camps out of the question? We'll go full Maoist. Anyone caught posting such drivel has to spend a year working on a state-run farm while they receive political reeducation. 🤣
There are people who are definitely going to go out and vote for Harris. There are people who are definitely going to go out and vote for Trump.
The debate isn't for these people. It's for the people who are shockingly on the fence about who to vote for, and those who may not vote at all.
The more you get trump on screen being easily manipulated by Harris, the more you make him look weak which will make some of his less ardent supporters less likely to vote, while also convincing others then Harris is the more sane choice.
I want her to do it...the memes from this debate have been spectacular.
The ideal situation would be for Harris to offer another debate, then for Trump to decline, then for Harris to spend the rest of the campaign taunting Trump for his cowardice. If Trump decides to actually do the debate instead it'll probably end up being a bit of a waste of time, but that would be an acceptable risk.
So beat her again, donny
Why would he pass up such a golden opportunity to embarrass her again?
Is DJT a .ml user?
Same debate tactics and I've never seen them both in the same place at once.. just sayin'
Just got banned from .ml 🫠
Wait... Are the .ml mods the same mods who ran /r/Pyongyang? Anyone seen them in the same place?
I ~~crossed~~ burned that bridge ages ago.
He's been banned for 14 days.
I believe it was Colbert last night who said that no, she just ripped out his heart, took a big bite, and now wants seconds.
Fake news. He has no heart.
“This…… former president…”
He will only commit a second debate if Kamala commits to losing beforehand
Of course, he declared that she lost The second debate before the first debate even began.
He'll only commit if it's on fox "news" or oann, he gets all his softball questions in advance, and the moderators are his devoted allies who will cut her off at every opportunity
While I'd love to see Kamala wipe the floor with him again, I don't think another debate is necessary. At this point Trump's supporters are conditioned to just believe anything he says regardless of accuracy. Not a great idea to give dude more of a platform than he already has.
For me, the number one reason to want another debate is just to give him more chances to out himself as an absolute buffoon.
Broken bitch baby
He's so old. He's just confused
