Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

So the debate was rigged to make you look bad, but you did great at the debate? Which is it?

Don't expect internal consistency from the guy who says media can't be trusted and is fake news, but immigrants are eating people's dogs and cats because someone said it on TV.

Kamala stole my ideas on the economy. She's a Marxist. She stole my ideas though.

How it started:

She has no plan. Look at her plan. She has no plan.

How it's going:

I have the concepts of a plan.

“She doesn’t even have the concept of a plan!”

Immediately after she gave details of her plan.

“10% of a plan”

If she won the election, the day after that election, go back to destroying our country and oil will be dead. Fossil fuel will be dead. We'll go back to windmills and we'll go back to solar, where they need a whole desert to get some energy to come out. You ever see a solar plant? By the way, I'm a big fan of solar

What else will you do with a desert? Build cities that will dry up more lakes and rivers? Just cover the whole fucking desert in solar and power the country. The guy is so dense.

Even better, you can grow some Alfalfa to sell to Saudi Arabia!

[–] thefartographer@lemm.ee 7 points 1 month ago

Even betterer, also grow some algae for biofuel

[–] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 month ago

There's a lot more territory for solar if we just set it up all along our Interstate system. We could just let the desert be desert, with its fragile ecosystem intact. The land under the freeways is already fucked. Thinking ahead, we would need to design it to reroute the power if a big crash takes out some panels.

Idk maybe grow a crazy amount of alfalfa and sell it overseas? What? What do you mean the desert has water issues?

Edit: oh lol I should have read more replies

[–] LillyPip@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 month ago

He just can’t stop tilting at windmills.

[–] Asafum@feddit.nl 8 points 1 month ago

Don't forget the poor poor desert soil he's so concerned about... Lol yes noted conservationist Donald drill baby drill Trump...

[–] Maggoty@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

Right after she pointed out all of the times she actually supported fracking.

[–] Thteven@lemmy.world 15 points 1 month ago

He did great at making himself look bad.

[–] LEDZeppelin@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago

Debate was rigged to make me look bad. But jokes on them, I looked bad all on my own.
