    The debates are kinda BS. The country is clearly divided on who they’re voting for and they’re not changing their minds.

      Clearly not, since the most recent one is why we have Harris instead of Biden as the candidate.

      But the goal isn’t just to convince people that you’re better than the other candidate — it’s to convince sympathetic people to get out and vote for you, and if not that, then at least not vote for the other.

      I think people are largely decided on who they are not voting for, but who they are voting for is a bit different.

        I think this is key. It’s an opportunity to grab people’s attention and motivate the to vote.

      The election is a circus, the candidates are Carneys. They have great games and fabulous prizes, they just need your vote.
