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!

Nobody is. It just deflects from other important things going on in the world. Also, these media pieces are the cheapest and easiest to fill any void in the output schedule
It isn’t that I’m worried about Walz. I’m worried about Vance gosh galloping out his sound bites and starting yet another round of racial violence.
Walz might be the best person to counter it.
Republicans still haven't found a counter for wholesome. And Vance certainly isn't it.
Walz will do fine, the issue is that the bar is incredibly low for Vance.
If he can stay on policy, not shit himself over the immigrants eating cats thing, he'll over-perform.
The bar for Vance is literally "repeat Republican lies and fear-mongering, but do it coherently."
Since he's not gonna be fact-checked, that's all he has to do.
He won't be fact checked by the moderators, that still leaves him open for Walz.
the bar is incredibly low for Vance.
Act vaguely human.
Will he be able to pull it off?
How many flies will land on his head? Will he eat one, purposefully or accidentally?
In the football coach's game this is called "poor mouthing". You talk down your team, can't possibly handle their backs, etc, and then on game day you unleash the monsters of the midway.
Back in reality, this is called emotional abuse and even if it works for the one game significantly deteriorates confidence on the long term.
Vance only knows how to repeat talking points. All Walz has to do is honestly answer any question. That's it. That's all he has to do.
"...I don’t see any way that he could match her level of intensity and humor,” said a Walz ally who was granted anonymity to speak freely about the governor.
So don't try. Go for down-to-earth, earnest, hard-working, straight-talking and honest.
Glad to hear he's working with Pete, I think that's probably the perfect combo of midwestern sensibilities and savvy to disarm Vance's Yale-trained style.
