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!

I don't think this is a good idea at all, but I'll defer to the professional campaign strategists. Trump loves this field of battle where he can just flout the rules and strut around in comparison to his opponent.
It didn't work out so bad for Biden last time.
All that said, one way or another these debates are going to be an absolute shit show.
Yeah that's why I'm deferring to the pros. They have better numbers and political minds than I do. This is likely just dread settling in now that we're getting back into the swing of things with Trump involved.
This is always death. Following the GOP around, mimicking what they do and say is the inevitable result.
Do not give him any credibility at all. None. Treat him like the scumbag traitor pariah he is.
Not sure what election you followed last time, but Biden climbed in the polls after every debate until Trump weaseled out of doing another. When you let them debate against each other, Biden looks like a normal politician and Trump looks like an idiot.
Why the aggression? I'm not some idiot armchair politician and explicitly defer to the professionals in my comment. I'm worried because Trump has some weird plot armor in real life and frankly, any situation he's involved in scares me. America is fickle, this is a new election with a new set of circumstances, and the "Biden is too old" narrative could impact either way depending on his performance.
Polls are garbage. It’s all “we” have, so they still spend millions and chatter on about them, but they’re still hot garbage.
