Nov 2023 Mod notice:


There may be other, more specific, threads about some aspects of US politics, but this one tends to act as a hub for all sorts of related news and information, so it's usually one of the busiest OTC threads.

If you're new to OTC, it's worth reading the Introduction to On-Topic Conversations and the On-Topic Conversations debate guidelines before posting here.

Rumor-based, fear-mongering and/or inflammatory statements that damage the quality of the thread will be thumped. Off-topic posts will also be thumped. Repeat offenders may be suspended.

If time spent moderating this thread remains a distraction from moderation of the wiki itself, the thread will need to be locked. We want to avoid that, so please follow the forum rules when posting here.


In line with the general forum rules, 'gravedancing' is prohibited here. If you're celebrating someone's death or hoping that they die, your post will get thumped. This rule applies regardless of what the person you're discussing has said or done.

Meanwhile, Biden goes after her for being a prosecutor.

Reposting here, but... did Biden just defend his support for busing? And yeah, Biden's going to see a bit of a hit from this - Harris was definitely beyond done with him at that point, too.

"My time's up." Biden's definitely trying to duck out from a losing issue.

I predict a bump for Harris and maybe Buttigieg after this.

I mean, Biden saying he was a public defender and Harris was a prosecutor... I cackled. I want her to destroy him but that was delicious.

The rotating judges thing was new, though. That's the first time I've heard such a suggestion.

Gotta say, Harris isn't exactly my first pick (though certainly closer to it than last), but seeing her crucify Biden so gloriously does put a smile on my face.

At least Yang followed the premise of the question.

Also, just for yucks, Bernie being a third wheel for Biden and Harris.
