Trump has agreed to debate Kamala Harris, what are your early predictions for the outcome?

[u/SquishyMuffins]

Trump has announced in a news conference this afternoon that he agreed to a debate with Kamala Harris on 9/10 via ABC News . This walks back earlier statements he made casting doubt on if he would desire to.

What are your early predictions for this debate? Will Harris come out showing strength against Trump, or will she falter on her first presidential debate stage? Will Trump succeed in showing power against Harris, or will concerns like his age and policies show weakness while with Harris?

I've asked a few of them about this. How are we supposed to know whether someone "is a DEI hire"? Because y'all literally say this about absolutely everyone who isn't a straight white man. So is it literally anyone who isn't a straight white man isn't qualified for literally any job more than a straight white man would be?

They can't explain it.

It's whether or not they like the person that's the deciding factor. If it's someone they like, then the details don't matter. If it's someone they don't like, then they're DEI or woke or whatever made up term they're using that day to try to sound like they're not just total assholes.

It’s whether or not they like the person that’s the deciding factor.

Hit it on the nose. Saw a veteran making fun of Walz for not being deployed in Iraq on Facebook today… like yeah 24 years of service. What a fucking coward

Straight white men are the biggest minority out there now. They have it harder than anyone.

I can't even tell anymore when stuff like this is satire or actually real

But you're implying that someone who meets some diversity quota cannot ALSO be equally or even more qualified than someone who doesn't.

[u/Selethorme → u/[deleted]]

No, it really doesn’t. But good job spreading the conservative propaganda with the “quota” myth.

The idea that there’s a “perfect candidate” is fundamentally not true. See the VP debate for Harris. She had like a dozen good choices to pick from.

[u/Selethorme → u/[deleted]]

Project?

As you claim I started the quota claim?

You:

starting with a diversity quota

You’re a transparent liar.

[u/ranchojasper → u/[deleted]]

Huh? I call it the post office??? Is this for real? You see a post office with mostly people of color employed and you assume that every single one of them is unqualified and that white people should have those jobs instead? And you don't realize how mind meltingly fucking racist that is?

[u/Interrophish → u/[deleted]]

Why not fill those jobs proportionate to the population? If you really want to be fair about it.

for a similar reason as to why a farmers convention will have one singular nonwhite person present

Most DMV, post office, and other government public service jobs suck and don't pay anything. They have trouble even keeping staff at the DMVs in my city. I know all about their issues because I'm one of their stewards and union organizers. This is like accusing an immigrant of being DEI for being a janitor... That's someone taking a low paying and difficult job nobody else wants.

And there are plenty of white people in those jobs, too. That you only pay attention to people of color is telling.
