US US Politics General - Discussion of President Biden and other politicians

 

[Rimanah]

Didn't watch the debate. Think there will be another one?

Maybe. Depends mostly on the terms Harris campaign is willing to offer. They immediately asked for another one so they aren’t even trying to play at being in a strong negotiating position, so who knows. I don’t think we’ll get any news for a few days, maybe a week, at least.
I would expect to see a VP one for sure now.

When you let politics rule your life it is time to go outside. The only thing you or I can do is vote and say what's on our mind. What will be will be. I used to not be very religious, but as I've gotten older I've come to realize the saying that, "It's in God's hands" is absolutely true.

He could be a bong or yuro or something and looking to immigrate, or someone looking to join up in the armed services. I generally agree, but I can definitely see situations where you may make big life choices based off the election

Oh yeah, the whole Trump quote that he has “Concepts of a Plan” is also being heavily mocked as well.

In general, people are saying Harris won this one.

 

[draggs]

70% is delusional

Would you perhaps like to cry about dancing on strings held by Trump like so many before you

 

[JosephStalin]

Gonna be interesting to see Newsmax's take on the debate.

 

[Rekeita's Kidneys]

Am I becoming a fucking liberal? I'm genuinely getting tired of closed minded TDS bullshit, especially from family. This is so bizarre lol

Debate was okay, wished Drumpfler was more "on target" but meh

Back to fucking 50/50. Can Election Day just be tomorrow lmao? Pennsylvania was light red this morning btw, I like these betting sites more than polls because actual moneys on the line, and a whole lot too. 130 million dollars bet on trump.

You have to remember this is in response to both the debates, the endorsement of taylor swift, and the media spin of kamala winning.

Then add that to the pattern of her constantly dropping in chances during the whole bet.
As everyone said, this was her chance to stem the wound, and not only did she not do that. She stabbed herself in confusion.

Compare it to the betting shit with Biden and DRUMPF, essentially.

 

[StarkRavingMad]

Most I know is that a lot of people are mocking Trump for saying the whole “immigrants are eating our cats and dogs” thing.

Generally, people are saying that Harris did better as the night went on, having the most zingers and the like.

1. First comes the mocking for Trump's "outrageous" statements.

2. Then comes people doing the research and actually finding the videos being posted everywhere of migrants eating random animals.

3. And then comes Trump gaining more supporters because they found out he was right from the get-go.

This has been Trump's strategy since 2015. He's the guy that made illegal immigration THE topic to care about in the United States almost 10 years ago. Back when my Dad and I were not Trump supporters, we both begrudgingly admitted that we appreciated that he was in the race because he's the one who made illegal immigration part of the national discussion, and that he was forcing Republicans to finally address and acknowledge the problem.

The sad thing is, is that I don't even think CNN did that bad of a job with the first debate. Even with ABC pitching underhanded to Kamala, she still comes across as a drunken, emotional wino.

This is at least the second time you've said "In general, people are saying Harris won this one"

They're not sending their best

 

[RisingPhoenix]

orange man won all cumala did was repeat the talking points from months ago at least trump is addressing things people are actually talking about right now she was still bringing up fucking charlotesville for christs sake

I generally agree but there were points where - if Trump hadn't taken the bait, I think he could of given a better answer in some cases

"Does the economy suck 4 years later?" - Trump talks about the tarrifs which is a good start but then takes a left turn into immigration, you and I understand why - but he should of instead talked about his economy boosting plans like taking away taxes for tips and noting Kamala liked it so much that she copied it as well as the closing of the border idea.

Later there's an unrelated question but Kamala hijacks it to talk about Trump's rallies -Trump takes the bait again and rants about her needing to bus/bribe people to come to her rallies but again makes him look like a bit unhinged to undecideds.


Mentioning the Hiatians eating dogs and cats is funny but also sounds crazy unless you've dug to find some infomation on that story.

ABC not pulling up Kamala on Project 2025 talk, absolute bull about "Abortion Bans" and Charlottesville I think will ultimately hurt her more than her own performance will have done.

 

[George Lucas]

This buzz about the cats and dogs thing will work in Trump’s favor.

 

[The Last Stand]

Oh yeah, the whole Trump quote that he has “Concepts of a Plan” is also being heavily mocked as well.

The concept should be making people understand it.

 

[I was a Teenage “JA”-man]

I remember when the consensus was that MSNBC was the most bought by the Left. Is ABC worse now?

Both are bad but We are living in a year where cnn happens to be the least biased of mainstream tv news

 

[oh no its pipkun]

I really wish Trump had jumped on that ... He had the opportunity to do so, too.

He had tons of opportunities to do that on a number of issues but he got baited by kamala and went on unrelated tangents.
maybe trump should ignore the debate and do more pressers and townhalls to prevent kamala from hiding in the basement. these debates have been a waste of time.

 

[Amelia Troonheart]

My initial impression is that Trump didn't do anything to lose ground, and Kamala didn't do anything to gain ground.

Who that hurts more, I guess we'll see. Although my impression doesn't matter as I already know who I'm voting for.
I'm more curious about the response over the next week or so. What memes surface. What undecideds think about it, if their opinion changed at all.

Kamala saying she's a gun owner, fence sitting on isreal/palestine, supporting McCain of all people, and laughing at the pets being eaten thing are possible missteps.

Trump getting sidetracked, saying he has concepts of a plan instead of an actual plan, and saying the "people on TV" said pets were getting eaten instead of "people are reaching out personally to Vance" or something are possible missteps as well.

I definitely got some laugh out loud moments from Trump, and some heavy cringe moments from Kamala, but I'm quite biased.

 

[draggs]

He had tons of opportunities to do that on a number of issues but he got baited by kamala and went on unrelated tangents. they need a second debate and he has to stop being a retard and push the policies button.

Concern trolling has declined in quality like everything else in America under the Biden-Harris junta

I really can't see how "I think X will win" can be more useful information than "I'm voting for X".

 

[Buttigieg2020]

Harris promised to deal with price gouging on food, specifically. Trump will give tax breaks to the Waltons.
But you’ll vote for him anyway!

Ok Russian bot, trustworthy CNN already told me that was a bad idea!

 

[draggs]

or they think she did better than they thought she would.

No

Stop being retarded

No one ever thinks "I won that debate, I want another one!" unless another one is already scheduled

If you're ahead all a debate does is give the opponent an opportunity they wouldn't have

She's promised to enact price control on food, everyday items, and rent. All that does is drive prices even higher. It basically forces everything to get shittier since there's no reason to provide a quality product if there's a limit on what you can charge for items. Price Controls have never worked.
