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!

Two self serving men hoping to score political points so they may someday be president. Yaaaay...

I feel like DeSantis has already wasted whatever shot he may have had at President. Running against Trump was a stupid idea

[–] orclev@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Stupid ideas are very on brand for DeSantis, they're pretty much the only ideas he has.

Don't leave out the third man. Hannity, January 6th participant-via-phone and Trumpsucker extraordinaire, will make absolute bank off of this.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


Gavin Newsom are slated to go head-to-head on the debate stage next week, a culmination of months of rising tensions between the two.

The long-teased event, hosted by Fox News, marks a climax in the ongoing feud between the governors, with Newsom criticizing DeSantis for sending migrants to California and the Florida governor taking aim at Newsom for people leaving California to move to Florida.

The debate will be broadcast live from Alpharetta, Ga., but will not feature an audience in attendance, which Fox said will allow the governors equal opportunity to respond to and address each issue.

Newsom initially challenged DeSantis to a debate in September 2022, after the Florida governor chartered two planes of migrants that landed in Martha’s Vineyard, Mass., sparking outrage from Democrats.

Strategists across the political spectrum see the debate as an opportunity for both governors to gain visibility and establish themselves as the future of their respective parties.

Fox said the goal of the event is to “examine the vastly different approaches the two governors have and offer insights into their political philosophies as well as ambitions for the nation.” Hannity will highlight issues in each state, “including the economy, the border, immigration, crime, and inflation,” the network said.


The original article contains 520 words, the summary contains 202 words. Saved 61%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

I guess I don't really understand how this helps Newsom or the Dem party for 2024.

[–] FlexibleToast@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Newsom, along with a majority of democrats, is hoping Biden will drop out or something for 2024. But really, these are just two governors about to hit their term limits trying to pump their own tires. They're both presidential hopefuls that only have a chance if the front runner quits or dies.

The debate will be broadcast live from Alpharetta, Ga., but will not feature an audience in attendance, which Fox said will allow the governors equal opportunity to respond to and address each issue.

How is not having an audience supposed to help?

Should be an interesting debate.
