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’m really going against the grain from lemmy. Trump certainly did not win, but Harris lost.
Trump performed as expected, rambled and lied, but we can all be honest in saying this affected his polling very little. I think the best (or worst depending on who you are voting for) case scenario is if this dog / goose thing ends up being true and Trump can ride that wave of calling every other correction false and in control of his enemies (before anyone says it, I refuse to believe the word of one politician over another, I want hard proof it is happening or hard proof it is not).
Kamala lost though. Trump got her a few times especially at the beginning. She also most definitely fucked herself over shilling for Israel and oil / fracking. She is definitely pushing the young vote away and into the green party territory which will impact her where it counts. She also brought up her gun ownership and how she will not go after firearms, but she has claimed in the past to support “assault weapons” bans and madatory buyback programs.
Best case scenario, this debate had 0 influence, worst case, slight increase to Trump depending on the next few days. The biggest loser of tonight? The American People for having to choose between these two.
I hear what you're saying but do you really think young people watched the debate? Debates are really just for sound bites for ads and Harris got what she needed there. Most young people just ingest the debates via shorts on YouTube, TikTok, etc and it's easy to pull out the best stuff for those.
Trump's biggest problem is he is essentially at his ceiling of voters, about 46%.
While true, it has already begun. I had someone send me the Israel clips earlier, and another send me the dog eating clips. I think she got good sound bites, but in the end it might not have the desired affect.
