as a non-american that dont even vote in my own country, i dont really care that much, mostly wondering for entertainment purposes
there's a a biased thread being like "he refusing to debate harris" which is just a biased take
a non-biased take would have read that, a debate happened on a blue platform, why can't it be 50/50, 1 debate on blue, 1 debate on red
it wasnt him saying he wont debate her but a suggestion to have the debate on a red platform since he already went out of his way to debate already on a blue platform
any concrete date being thrown around already tho?
also, as a non-american, we don't consider the democrat party to be "left", from our outsiders perspective from an other country, we actually thinking the democrat party is very on the right of the spectrum
few years ago the push to increase the minimum wages to $25/h that only benefiting the very big corporations that for some were already paying their employees those wages while preventing small business to thrive, forcing them to layoff due to not being able to pay those wages, for some that it was literally just their profit margin and with the updated wages would be running business at a loss
also policies being very pro big-tech, pro big corporations, anti small businesses and moms and pops shops, very pro "the rich get richer" stances from that blue side, defintiely not a party from what we consider "left" in the country I'm in
as far as that other guy's policies, the push to get out of NATO is being pushed by the left in my country, which is something that i definitely support and was happy to hear him during the first debate say that he had plans to get out of NATO as well
obviously he's now a "true politician" even if didnt started that way in 2016 but he is now and is pandering to the crowd he's speaking to while saying conflicting things depending on who he's talking to
being like acknowledging the bad drugs being made in china (fentanyl etc), saying he'll free ross ulbrich while at the same time while talking to a cop crowd being hard on criminalizing drug use even mentioning death penalty for it
this is true politician bs, all talk, saying 1 thing to a crowd but saying the opposite thing to a different crowd
so even his stance on not going forward with CBDC, i'm very skeptical so overall i just don't support any of those candiates
so like i said, entertainment purposes having a drinking game watching the debate, any date?
Trump agreed to three debates on 3 networks, Harris declined one of the three debates the one hosted by Fox.
So we can infer from this that Kamala will be given the the questions in advance by the two networks she agreed to ABC, and MSNBC.
