This week, in an interview with three women journalists at the National Association of Black Journalists convention in Chicago, Trump wondered aloud about Harris’s race: “Is she Indian or is she Black?” he asked, quickly adding, “I respect either one, but she obviously doesn’t. Because she was India...

    Is he orange or is he white? Because up until a few years ago he was white, then went orange.

      So, back in the Runup for 2020, and when I still hoped a certain uncle wasn’t a full on cultist, I was trying to explain just how “unpresidential” and how scandalous he was as a president.

      During the conversation, I pulled a picture of Trump in tan suit pants from somewhere, and threw some pixelation like they do on cops, and stuff.

      That was all I did to, just pixelated his pants.

      Then I showed them, saying “he’s so bad you don’t even question if this is real.”

      The stared at the picture then totally thought he was just having some kind of wardrobe malfunction and that people totally lose their pants on stage… all the time

      The American people deserve a leader who tells the truth. A leader who doesn’t respond with hostility and anger when presented with the facts. We deserve a leader who understands that our differences do not divide us. They are an essential source of our strength.

      Damn right

      That’s a great way Harris could respond to this: "Yes, Donald, I am Indian. I am also black. Most importantly, I am an American.

      An American who loves our country and the strength our melting-pot of diversity brings. "

        The “undecideds” are not looking for measured, reasonable “we go high when they go low” type responses - that’s not the mindset for this moment, unfortunately (even if it’s the decent thing). They are looking for her to dismissive tell him he’s weird and move on. Because he is and she should.

        Realize the weight of this moment, we can stand on principle as the ship sinks, or we can save the boat from sinking and then hopefully work back to civility from there.

          These aren’t mutually exclusive. I’m entirely onboard with kneeing them when they go low. But you can do a one-two punch with mockery and dismissal while injecting some truth in a bite-sized form. That’s literally what satirists do.

            You can’t here - You’re not talking to satirists or the audience for satire. You’re talking to non-college educated mothers from Ohio, Pennsylvania and North Carolina, along with undereducated, disengaged young people in Georgia and Arizona.

            If you add the noble point to follow, they feel judged and looked down on. Again, it’s not fair or right, but it’s the reality of this moment.

    It is a tactic that has long been part of the underside of American politics: presenting an opponent as somehow ‘other’ or ‘not one of us’ — someone who cannot be trusted or truly known. But, it is a different time.

            It’s honestly too long even when the client does properly implement spoiler tags.

            That being said you should request proper spoiler tag rendering from your client devs too. It’s a nice feature and does make the bot somewhat more bearable.

          Its does, but even then it takes up a lot of space due to how its formatted. Also the 2 links get special treatment on some apps which leads to them taking up as much space as the text.

          When using the Connect app it doesn’t collapse unfortunately, probably the same for other apps as well

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!
