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.

Damn Biden is already dominating shit like 15 min into debate. Also I love how he went "Oh god" as soon as Ryan started to talk. Hilarious. Take notes Obama.

I get the feeling Biden wants to use bullshit instead of malarky.

Damn...Biden's smacking Ryan up one side and down the other. This isn't a debate, it's a goddamn Vaudeville routine. cool

And OH, he's calling Romney out on the 47% thing.
