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.
- 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.
- 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!

So it sounds like no live fact checking?
They get two minutes of rebuttal, and two minutes to address the rebuttal. I would bet the phrase "Well that's just not true." is uttered more than once. Hopefully, Harris comes armed with facts, and Trump just does his Trumpy ramble and sounds like a douche. My guess he goes full firehose with the bullshit and hopes that she comes off as shrill trying to correct every lie.
I think it's important for Harris to be seen calling out his bullshit... but the maga camp is so insulated from the truth that they'll probably just discard her corrections as "alternative facts" - it's nice to have the neutral party call out the bullshit.
You’ve heard of the Gish Gallop, but what about the Trump Trots? Total diarrhea of the mouth…
You're factually incorrect.
Either you know you're wrong and you're lying or you're ignorant of facts that you should be well aware of as a former president and one running for president.
Which is it?
She needs to get to the zing quicker. Also, don't ask an open ended question, because he'll use the opening to fill time with additional bullshit.
"That is false. Either you are ignorant or you are lying. I am not sure if you even know the difference anymore, but either way you are unfit for office."
"Are you lying, or just a dummy?" :-P
This will be a repeat of the Clinton debate.
He's going to just say stupid shit and try to overpower her for the full time. She'll call him out on the b******* and deliver a sane and reasonable debate.
The day after both sides will claim they won.
The only thing I'm truly looking forward to is she's snarkier and more quick-witted she'll probably get enough jabs in there to really piss him off.
Did you really censor the word bullshit?
I thought it was biscuits
Welcome to the Internet. You can swear here.
I don't type, solely voice dictation, turning off the curse word filter as a pain in the ass, I'm afraid you'll have to use your imagination.
