    Fucking hell I’m actually excited. If you had asked me literally a month ago I wouldn’t have given a shit and would have laughed if you had told me I’d be interested. Don’t get me wrong I was going to vote either way, but man I cannot wait for Harris to slam the shit out of this dirt bag and make a national embarrassment of him. The shit that worked with Biden sure as hell isn’t going to fly with Harris.

      Yes. This is blatant misinformation. Nobody “agreed” to anything. The actual nyt article doesn’t even use this word. This post needs to be deleted.

    The title is the original title that NYT published. They updated it after backlash (rightfully so). Please don’t report this post again.

      Can you not update the title? I can update my title on posts to different communities… Why preserve the old/pre-change title?

    Her statement should make clear that she is only interested in debates hosted by news networks, citing Fox News’ own lawyers who say that they aren’t journalists, but rather “entertainers”.

    Maybe also make a point of refusing to work with an organization that was found liable for defaming voting machine manufacturers and poll workers during the last election.

    There are endless valid reasons for saying no to this debate, and holding Trump to the original debate schedule he already agreed to.

      I want the debate to happen AFTER Trump is sentenced in DC. Depending on what happens there, the debates topics are vastly different. Making a president into a king with literal life or death powers is a power that Trump will misuse.

    It’s definitely a risk for Harris but it’s the only place anyone watching only Fox will see her debate Trump. Not that it’ll change their minds of course, they’re so heavily brainwashed it’s insane.

      People who watch Fox make up a pretty significant portion of every debate’s viewership. They don’t care what channel it’s on, they’re going to watch.

      Buttigieg has been appearing on Fox News recently and he’s been doing a good job dismissing their dishonest narratives and avoiding their traps.

      https://youtu.be/SXGpXWbVYSg?si=xBtDe8jWbMdXvmUF

      But this isn’t Buttigieg, and this isn’t a one-on-one interview, so we can only hope if she agrees to this for some reason that she’s as prepared as he is.

      Why it should never happen. Trump could go there, shit his pants, and call Harris all the words, and all republicans will lap it up like the mewling little weird cowards they are.

    In what sense has he agreed something if no one else involved knows about it? I think the right verb here is ‘suggests’.

      He made a post saying that’s the “deal”. In a way it’s a brave brazen way to try and get a venue change. Harris would have to basically insult Fox News and their entire viewership to avoid looking like she’s walking away.

    The Fox News event is a week earlier than the originally scheduled ABC debate. Won’t Harris look bad if she doesn’t go?

      Why is it on Harris to attend a debate she didn’t agree to, and not on Trump to attend the debate he did agree to?

      He RSVP’d to the ABC debate, and now he’s chickening out and trying to hide behind his propagandist friends to avoid engaging in an actual debate.

      It only looks bad for Harris if you consider Trump someone with integrity, Fox News an honest platform, or ignore how many debates Trump has backed out of in the past purely out of cowardice.

    I sincerely hope Harris never meets to debate Trump at Fox. Fox will just ambush Harris and edit the footage to make Harris look dumb or insincere. The whole exercise will be pointless because Americans will not get a fair representation of both candidates.

    I see a need for a debate, we know where they stand. We really need to stop treating politics like sporting events.

    I cannot stand his voice; I always end up muting the TV and reading the closed captioning. Those poor people that have to do the live captioning though…

      That debate with Biden. Holy shit. I turned it off after 5 minutes. I’m just so embarrassed by my country.

      I can’t either. On the other hand, I’ll take it because he’s going up against a very seasoned prosecuting attorney.

      When Trump was in office foreign translators got a ton of shit for doing thier job. So many non English speaking people thought the translators were drunk. That made more sense at the time than The President of the United States of America actually saying the things he said. There was also the time he got laughed at by the entire United Nations.
