What’s in a Debate?

We’ve seen better. This is true. Both contenders in the Presidential Debate this last round gave weak performances. It was pretty abysmal to watch. Here’s the deal though. If this debate is impacting your decision who to vote for, then you’re doing democracy wrong. These are both known quantities. We’ve seen Donald Trump’s severe mishandling of the COVID pandemic. We’ve seen him lie, cheat, steal. He’s a convicted felon. We know this. We know that he’s, if not committed to enforcing Project 2025, parroting talking points directly from its pages. We know that the Heritage Foundation chose his judges for him. We know that he intentionally tanked progress on immigration to make himself look good.
