It was somewhat reassuring for the future that the USA can still have a “normal” debate and members of government. There was classic question dodging and some over the top rhetoric but nothing that made me think one of the debaters might actually live in their own fantasy land with no concept of what government is. I tuned in for a few minutes and it was boring in a good way.
Their were so many “wtf” assertions and claims by Vance that I think this only proves that lying to Americans is a winning strategy. Like “if Harris believed in global warming she would want to bring more energy production to the US”…like… no… Drilling for more oil doesn’t not magically make it clean energy because America is “cleaner” they are obviously talking about ramping up green energy you dufus.
Or…“ohhh so you disagree with the experts when it’s convenient” when Walz talked about green energy bringing potential jobs here… I could almost see Walz thinking “how tf do i even respond to that? Did i say that somehow? Wtf just happened?” and by the time he’s ready to possibly respond so much other bs has been said that you can’t even go back.
Little lies/interjections to create the impression of some genuine criticism when it doesn’t logically follow from the facts. It was constant and he got away with it everytime…where you’re just like “that doesn’t really make sense…but maybe I’m just missing his point”. No! There’s no fucking real point being made! There’s no energy policy. There’s no economic policy other than tariffs. Yes tariffs are sales tax everyone know this except you somehow.
We’re far to quick to give people credit for not looking as ridiculous as Trump on stage. Debates should not be venues to blatantly lie to voters without repercussions. Not lying should be the main test because we shouldn’t vote for people who are not honest about their arguments/platform/plan
Well said.
