Immigrants making almost nothing and sending everything they make (after taxes) back home and living with 10 people in a small apartment are the problem? Not Blackrock and corporate landlords buying everything on the market?

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor.

Vance won't answer the question about the 2020 election fraud by trump
Oh yeah, tariffs. Please, increase inflation for all of us who can’t even afford shit now.
And your orange god sources his shitty Wish watches from China, what are you talking about?!?
Pikachu face
Pass the bill!
This is probably the best moment of this debate.
I love the way vance/trump likes to take credit for the economy they inherited and then blew up just as they left. if, satan forbid, trump got in again any successes will be on the coattails of biden. my devil it still drives me nuts what he did with interest rates which is a dead simple thing for a president to do, which is not to pressure or interfere with the fed.
oh he is ducking the will he certify results as a vice president. ok so I got two good laughs.
Stronger locks!!
Good lord, what a moron.
one thing I love is walz matter of fact way with things. some people villify regulation but you want to be able to have time to get out of your house if theres a fire. I love hearing a debate with quotes like that. point out the dumb.
Random thought: I wonder if that 23-and-me data gets bought up by the healthcare industry when they go under. 🤔 I wonder what they will do with it when they can know if predisposed to heart disease…

walz is owning this one. he is doing great and vance goes between evading and just lying. Hes better and more consistent with his lies which makes this no where near as entertaining as the presidential debate.
How will we handle child care at a federal level?
Vance: Long stream of bullshit, followed by “give federal money to churches.” Tax credit? Paid leave? Fuck you.
Solar panels from China make “dirty” clean energy, while American fossil fuels create “clean” dirty energy.
Moderator: "How do you stop gun violence?"
Vance: "Stronger windows in schools!"

PBS pundits are complaining that they were too nice to each other and agreed with each other too much. Sigh.
Well, what about Facebook though? What about censorship? What about that baby hippo on Tiktok? What about Flintstones vitamins?

Senator Vance, are you a traitor?
Forget everything I said before. I have a new answer now. I will go back to my old answer the second I step off of this stage. You aren’t allowed to fact check me.
I can’t watch anymore. Vance is riling me up too much and I’m not seeing enough pushback.
Cheers all, it’s been … interesting.
Vance, that's Congresses job not the vice presidents
We'll have tremendous healthcare, and I'll make China pay for it!
Will the fly be there to fact-check?
Walz just dropped the pet eating bomb back on JDs head.
Yup. Keep going Walz, attack Trump over and over. That's all you need to do.

Walz nailed the immigration question. Vance is making up lies and using buzzwords.
We're ~25 minutes in, and so far I would say this debate is close, but Walz is edging out Vance. He's not as polished, but he's coming across as more genuine, and he's directly answering.

Vance is now pro-abortion exceptions? Are you kidding me?
Edit: typo
Excellent answer. Humanizing the issue, giving practical information, and raising project 2025.
“Shortage” more like venture capitalism and artificially limiting supply.
