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.

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.

It's pretty freaking hilarious that Vance is already planning to be in the "spin room" after the debate.

You mean like the fucking bill Trump killed!? Ok i am done. I’ve seen enough
That was a weirdly meandering non-answer.
This clown just going to pretend he’s a democrat for this answer?
What is Vance talking about?
lol what “experts” said that? You mean greedy business executives? Pretty sure they aren’t considered experts.
Vance has only been speaking for a few minutes and it already looks like he has robot hands.

Walz answer was really good.
Walz suddenly appears in the followup.
Mic cut
housing is up 60%?!?
ok JD we get it your kids are beautiful
Fuck off. It’s not about wanting families. Your policies turn women into walking coffins!
e: not even one woman anywhere, ever, should have to endure that, if it’s at all preventable. For anyone who doesn’t know, this can easily fall short of all legal exceptions for weeks, because the mother’s life isn’t actually in danger at first – though her sanity is, and it’s inexcusably barbaric.
CNN pundits saying "Vance was obviously the better debater" and "Walz really dropped the ball and let Vance get away with too much"

It's really annoying that JD had a valid point about economic experts being wrong about pushing neoliberalism. That really weakened Walz'es otherwise great point that we should be listening to the experts about climate change and allowed the couchfucker to push the "follow common sense" bullshit.
I think they're both full of shit about the ACA. Vance delivered lies and a nothing burger of a proposal. Walz said the system works. Pre and post trump it never worked. When it was mandatory, I was on the benefits cliff and couldn't afford the awful insurance that covered nothing (that also had an enormous deductible). I missed rent because of my state mandated health insurance. When trump made it voluntary, I had more money in my pocket and I still couldn't afford healthcare.
The ACA is fucked and needs to be replaced with a real socialized health system. Health insurance is corrupt and contrary to healthcare on a fundamental level. It should be abolished and outlawed.
