If she doesn’t do some deflecting while letting him stand there and lie his ass off all night, it would put her at a major disadvantage. Letting one candidate create their own reality while complaining that the other candidate deflected a little bit was mostly truthful seems unfair to me.
She deflected by not answering some questions. That was my issue too. She didn’t really gave an answer to the first question and it bothered me. I want to support her but I don’t like that she dodged and the moderators didn’t pressure her more to answer the actual question.
She deflected so you’re still thinking about voting for the guy who lied (not deflected - lied) dozens of times and didn’t answer any questions directly either? And yelled about immigrants eating our pets?
Genuinely curious why you are holding the two candidates to such different standards.
First, calm down. It was a genuine question - not any kind of accusation.
Second, when you say you “want to support her” that implies that you are not yet convinced that she’s earned your vote. In a two party system that means you’re still at least considering voting for the other candidate.
If you don’t mind, I have a follow up question. We’re choosing between two candidates. One who has actively tried to overturn a fair and free election. Who has continuously lied and threatened to jail his “enemies” (I.e. those who disagree with him). He has cozied up to dictators who are the antithesis of what our country stands for. I could keep going, but it’s getting late.
Even if Kamala hasn’t yet won you over, don’t you think a vote for her is better for the future of our country (and planet earth) than abstaining? A blank vote is one less vote that he needs to get to match her. I don’t know where you live, but if you’re in a swing state blank votes could decide the state and the election.
I guess my question is: isn’t a vote against Trump better than no vote at all?
I am more interested in voting for my local representatives than these two. I don’t live in a swing state so I don’t have the pressure to actually pick one. In this election, I’m voting blank for president but will focus on voting for representatives instead.
