Season Opener on Debate Night?

Crazy how Trump can just stand up there and lie, and your response to him being corrected is to be angry at the person correcting him, rather than being angry at Trump for lying in the first place.

Oh yes, who could have guessed that a presidential nominee would be asked about such unexpected and unusual topics as

-checks notes-

The economy, immigration, foreign policy, and abortion rights. Truly, these are subjects that would come out of nowhere and that no one could have predicted unless they were given the list of questions beforehand.

He did not raise tariffs on imports by 10% and put a 60% import increase on Chinese goods the first time he was president. He DID start a trade war that hurt American farmers for literally no reason, if thats what youā€™re referring to.

You complain about moderators correcting Trump, then say you dont like when the media buries candidateā€™s blunders. Which is it? Is the media allowed to point out when candidates lie and screw up, or is that a standard that only Democrats need to meet?

We know what Harris would do about the economy and inflation. She has talked about it multiple times. Maybe if you got your news from places other than Fox and NYP, youā€™d know what her positions are. If you actually wanted to know her positions, you could very easily find them with a single google search. Or you could have just listened to her during the debate, where she talked about her policy positions.

I genuinely cannot understand how you can correctly talk about how the media has naked bias in regards to politics in one moment, then turn around and complain about how the media is correcting Trump lying during a debate.

Either lies are acceptable 100% of the time, or they arent. Either its the mediaā€™s job to hold candidates accountable, or it isnt.

Trump did not answer a single question in the first debate against Biden, and spent the majority of the second debate ranting about immigrants eating peopleā€™s pets and rambling about 30 vaguely connected topics and whatever his grievance of the week is. If youā€™re going to hold candidates feet to the fire about not answering questions about what their policy positions are, I simply do not believe you when you say that you think Trump is the one who is doing better in that regard. The guy has been Captain Word Salad for the better part of a decade.

I voted for Romney in 2012 because I met him and he was a genuinely nice guy who had a strong track record and good policy positions for the most part. I voted for Hillary in 2016 because Trump was a clown who had no idea what he was talking about. I voted for Biden in 2020 because Trump was still a clown who had no idea what he was talking about, except now it was pretty clear just how dangerously incompetent and corrupt he was. Iā€™m going to be voting for Harris in two months because I wont be voting for a felon who tried to steal an election that he lost, and also because heā€™s a clown who has no idea what heā€™s talking about.

No, itā€™s not crazy. I want to know if theyā€™re both lying, not just the one they selected. Hereā€™s a direct quote from Linsey Davis in regards to the backlash she received for fact checking one candidate: ā€œThere is a stereotype that I am acutely aware of that I canā€™t be unbiased." She doesnā€™t even deny it. Just she waves her hand and says that they meant to fact check Harris too but didnā€™t catch her lies. How convenient.

There was more to it and I already explained how I seen it:

I donā€™t know what this means. He put many tariffs on imports, like metals from other countries. And I know he hasnā€™t done his 60% tariff yet.

But again, if it was so bad, why didnā€™t Biden get rid of it?

What do you mean ā€œwhich is it?ā€ I have no idea what youā€™re asking me. They donā€™t bury anything Trump does and sometimes they add to it. Every thing he says, even if itā€™s a joke like windmills give eye cancer, is blown out of proportion.

ā€¦ which is? I honestly want to know.

I literally said I didnā€™t want to click on a Fox link. I only went to NYP because it was my only other option.

I also said I have watched every debate since 2008.

Thatā€™s because youā€™re also biased and not reading what Iā€™m saying. The media reports every little single thing that Trump does.

Also, Iā€™m not complaining that they corrected Trump, Iā€™m complaining that they ONLY corrected Trump. There is a huge difference between those two actions and if youā€™re confused by that, YOU are the one brainwashed by a news network, not me.

ROFL I love it when people act like this is soooo bad. Heā€™s a felon for falsified business records.

I wonā€™t be voting for Harris because she hasnā€™t said anything that wasnā€™t fluff and she didnā€™t receive one vote from the people to be their candidate. Thatā€™s not how this country is supposed to work.

They didnt catch Harrisā€™ lies because she didnt tell any.

The way you see it is ridiculous. ā€˜It was clear she was told what the questions would beā€™? Get real. Any room temperature IQ midwit would have known what the topics she was going to be asked about were. They were the almost identical topics to the first debate, and the 2020 debate, and the 2016 debate, and the 2012 debate, and so on.

How could she have POSSIBLY known that they would ask the president the same questions that have been in the media cycle since time immemorial? CLEARLY they must have been fed to her! If you had asked me what the questions would be the night before the debate, I could have told you.

I dont think you know anything about tariffs. But thatā€™s fine, neither does Trump.

What Iā€™m asking you is: Why do you have problems with the media fact-checking Trump in real time while also saying that its the mediaā€™s job to do exactly that?

Iā€™m sorry, but I just dont believe that you actually have a problem with Harris giving a non-answer to being asked about her position about the economy and inflation. Iā€™m sounding like a broken record, but Trump literally did not answer a single question about ANYTHING during either debate except to rant incoherently. If you seriously take issue with candidates giving non-answers, you should be foaming at the mouth in fury over the way Trump dodges even the most friendly softball questions.

The great thing about candidates running for public office in America is that they often have free, publicly-accessible websites that enterprising citizens can look at in order to learn what their policy positions are with a single google search.

Let me help you. Just remove the parentheses around the dot.

Good, Iā€™m glad you heard her explain her policy positions during the debate. Problem solved.

They only corrected Trump because Trump is the only one who needed to be corrected. This isnt rocket science.

I like how you left out the other, far more important thing where he tried to circumvent the will of the people to steal an election that he lost. Also, I feel like we deserve better than a president who is dishonest enough to knowingly falsify business records in order to enrich himself. Isnt that the whole thing that Republicans were throwing a fit about with Hunter Biden?

She got 81 million votes on the Biden/Harris ticket in the 2020 election. No Democrat cares that Biden is stepping down and backing his own vice president. Its an utterly irrelevant complaint. Strange how no one ever complains that Trump didnt participate in the Republican primary this year. He didnt show up for a single debate against the other nominees, but no one ever seems to take issue with that.

Honestly, you just dont seem very well informed aboutā€¦ anything, really. As much as that might sound like an insult, I really dont mean it as one, its more just the median voter default. I dont want to spend the rest of the day arguing about stuff you could easily just google or use your ears for, so Iā€™m going to leave it here for now.

Trump has lied about every imaginable topic for years, attempted to steal an election, been one of the most brazenly corrupt politicians in decades, and is as dumb as a brick. If you dont want to vote for Harris while sheā€™s up against a candidate like that, I dont really see the point in continuing to argue with you about it. Its like being angry that one candidate spat on your shoes while ignoring the other candidate rigging a bomb to blow up your house.

Its all good though, sheā€™ll win in November and weā€™ll never have to deal with Trump again.

Yeah she did and this tells me every thing I need to know about your stance.

Where did I say I have a problem with that when I have said several times that I didnā€™t?

Have you actually opened this website? Itā€™s asking me for money :roll_eyes:

This is flat out wrong.

I didnā€™t say Biden didnā€™t get any votes, I said Harris didnā€™t receive a single vote as a candidate. The 2024 candidate.

Honestly, I think youā€™re completely brainwashed by the media but donā€™t worry, I donā€™t mean that as an insult.

after almost a week after the debate, I think people already made up their mind on which candidate they want to chose to be our 47th president. Trump is Trump and everyone knows about what presidency will be like since he was the president before. Harris however, she just another Biden and everyone can see that. She havenā€™t convince the American people and right people at all. There will be no next debate and its going come down few thousand voters.

Sheā€™s been ahead of Trump in just about every major poll for almost the entire time that sheā€™s been the nominee.

I disagree, problem with polls they always oversample democrats voters the poll and that with margin of error Real poll is Nov 5th and really come down to few swing state. Again problem with Harris that undecided voters donā€™t know anything about her since she been avoiding asking hard question. Sheā€™s hoping that less you know her, the better. I donā€™t think that would be enough for her to reach 270 EC if she do the basement strat. Nov is less than 2 months away, and in politics, that eternity for them. Right now there a report on another attempt on Trumpā€™s life and getting some attention.

Someone got ā€œnearā€ him with an AK47 and the SS shot at him. Heā€™s been arrested.

Trump was never shot at, thank God.

that what I got too, but I think is media is trying distracted the GA with Trumpā€™s post about how he hates Taylor Swift. Personally that was dumb of him to post that and also I donā€™t care about Taylor Swift.

Heā€™s just doing what a lot of Americans do: post about celebrities.

Personally I think Taylor Swifts political opinion can go into the trash with every other celebrity, whether theyā€™re pubs, dems or indies.

True. Lets hope Trump actually accepts the results this time.

The trust goes out the door when the dead keep voting.

Lets hope they keep voting booths out of cemeteries this time.

Lets also not bring up the widespread voter fraud arrests from individuals on a certain side where almost every single large case was dismissed disregarding hard evidence, many of these cases just so happen to be areas where DAā€™s and judges also share the same political views. No coincidence at all, Iā€™m sure.

:pray: cannot wait

ā€¦like last time, and the time before that. what are you talking about?

As usual, uninformed voters. Tests should be mandatory before people are allowed to vote, that way only educated voters are allowed to participate instead of people voting based purely on emotion.

RIP trump supporters then lmfao
