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!

“Felon Republican nominee refused any debate not held on one very specific network, known to fund republicans”
hmmmmmm
"Weird, old Republican requires safe space for presidential debate"
on one very specific entertainment network
Ftfy
"Any time, anywhere", except it has to be over there and at that particular time.
And if she says no to his particular conditions, he'll try and use it to claim she's the coward. Which is the whole point of this, he doesn't want to debate anywhere, so he's hoping she says no.
Similar to a lawyer telling a client to just repeat, “no comment,” the Harris team just needs to keep saying “He agreed to this debate and Kamala will be there. The Fox debate was only brought up after he reneged on his previous commitment. We will not be at Fox as it was never in the schedule. We can discuss a Fox entertainment debate after this previously scheduled debate takes place. Next question.”
Say nothing else and just repeat that ad nauseam.
ABC should give her the hour!
I've heard that's the plan. They're dedicating an hour to the presidential candidates. If only one shows up then that candidate gets the whole hour
You have to do the one you already agreed to first, old man.
She should not take this bait. Giving Trump the incredibly biased home field advantage this would lead to is not going to be worth it. Pro Trump crowd plus biased moderators will make her look terrible, no matter how good a debater she is. I'm not even sure the ABC moderators will be good enough, but they'll be a long shot better than Fox and he already agreed to it. Hold him to it.
She should take the bait.
Go on Fox, every question, either hit back at trump's felonies and that case (he is under a gag order that he absolutely will violate), or she should target Trump's involvement in calling the 2020 election rigged. Fox is under an settlement agreement from Dominion not to slander the company, or promote guests that slander the company, without pushing back. She could kill 2 birds with one stone here.
She could murder him theoretically, and it wouldn't matter to his fans. It would only incit them more.
Yeah, but his ass would get slapped with jail time (Merchan has said as much for continuing gag violations), or fox would basically have to liquidate to pay back Dominion, removing a key propaganda platform for conservatives. Both of these things inhibit Trump's ability to run for the presidency.
"Snowflake demands safe space for interview for biggest job in the country"
I thought president was about to become a black job.
Fox News = Trump’s special blankie.
I don’t care whether she debates Trump or not. I just don’t want to see her give in to him.
Fox should be stripped of the trademark "News" and should be forced to be called Fox Entertainment. It wouldn't change anything but I'd feel better
She should agree and then ignore every question just to attack the network and their relationship with Trump.
Just read transcripts from depositions where they call Fox entertainment and their viewers idiots.
Read their stolen election collusion discovery and who was part of the Jan 6th insurrection.
Read that "perfect phonecall" over and over and over and ask what Trump meant by "finding" those extra votes
Edit: Whoopsie-doodle, I forgot my "/s"
No. They want attention. Don't reward them with content.
Whoops, forgot my /s
It would be one of those "you love to see it" moments until the crowd starts cheering for Jan 6th.
The second she steps outside of rules that they'll only apply to her she'll be muted and you know it.

His word is his bond.
I guess it was a junk bond.
24 hour marathon call-in debate on cspan, let's go
“Longtime caller, first-time listener”
Well she can add 'coward' to 'felon', then.
Her campaign already swatted them down perfectly.
whatever you need to feel safe, bitch boy
He prefers bunker boy.
