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!

I see no meaningful information coming out of this and mostly think it is going to depend on the moderator and if they do their job and/or try to be "unbiased". And trump will likely pull out for no apparent reason.
That said: I still think it is a good idea. One of the "debates" last time REALLY "hurt" trump's strongman schtick. I forget which one it as, but trump started another Hunter Biden attack. And Joe seemingly thought he was referring to Beau and tore into the orange shitstain. **And trump backed down. **
It was bassically exactly what Democrats should be doing across the board. Show "decorum" because that is what "moderates" like. But the moment a line is crossed? You smack them down and make them acknowledge they ain't shit.
This is what hurt Venezuela and is what's hurting America.
Both sides had been playing by the rules for the longest time.
Then one side went rogue.
And the other side continued thinking that they could handle the situation "with decency and decorum."
All while the other side encroached in, just like the bully pushing the kid off his chair, inch by inch, second by second, and all the kid does is yell "hey could you please not?" instead of elbowing the motherfucker in the stomach.
And then, you have what you have today.
You can't play nice with those types.
Biden needs more of calling Trump a clown, and saying "would you shut up, man?" next time. It's the only way to put them in place.
The Trump voters won't care who wins.
The Biden voters will never change to vote Trump.
"Undecided" voters aren't choosing between Biden and Trump, they're trying to choose between voting and not voting.
