Because these debates are not debates. They're showtime entertainment and cheapen serious topics.
But you avoided the question. You said my claim that it wouldn't achieve anything was "stupid", so I'm asking what I got wrong? What will / would it achieve?

Why are the gangs hanging out at home depot? I wouldn't have thought they're looking for work. Maybe recruiting?

I wasn't sure what you meant by the gentrifying thing so did a little digging and found this excellent article on the South Bend drama. freebeacon.com/politics/but...

OK. What would it achieve?

My fear is Newsom will be one gigantic turn-off, ala Hillary. I might be wrong and sure I hope I am, if he gains traction.

That is very true. I'd feel better if it was Pete Buttigieg though. He could cage fight like a ninja. I used to admire Newsom but he seems to be getting a little greasier all the time.

Do you get those 2 minutes of uninterrupted speaking time, audited beforehand? It's remarkable that you get the chance in the first place and it seemed you were pulling punches, which I guess is just part of the deal. Anyway, good for you. I'd struggle to rub shoulders with a couple of those folks

Sometimes I wish Newsom would just go fuck off somewhere. He only cares about spectacle. What the hell would debating JD Vance achieve besides giving Newsom a national platform to advance his presidential ambitions? Answer: fuck all.

Newsweek only 11 hours ago, described his approval rating as "backsliding" and that compares to a time when he was still underwater with only with -2.2% net approval and now -4.5%.

Is there any legitimacy to the claim that an ICE officer was dragged behind a car? And why was the officer so stupid as to allow himself to get dragged? Also, to where and whom should I address the flowers?

The closest he comes to honor is when he's sitting in a courtroom.

I love that you're here. Your perspective is solid and you're 100% right about Pete.

Umm, that's a nope. I thought we learned that lesson with Saddam Hussein.

Their "shooting the breeze" nonchalant speculation of a cruel and vindictive, hypothetical response by the President to an absolutely LEGAL act of patriotism - and one that is likely more meaningful and sincere than 99% of renditions in English, BECAUSE of the symbolism - is repellant.

That's a huge something!

Wow. That is full price for a standard battery.

RFK Jr knows a guy who was exposed to asbestos and became immune to it; grew lungs of steel, supposedly. We can't do the research if it's banned. Same goes for smallpox and polio. Two sides to every story. /S/

That's a little exclusionary against bald people.

It was a test, Kevin, to see how big the explosion would be. And now they know. Next time they'll test something else, and if it explodes too, well that will be one more step towards Mars.

I totally get that. For me, Bluesky is a retreat from all the necrophilia haters. It used to be a private thing; few people knew. Until some rotten cunt split on me. Anyway, bon appetit!

Her biggest regret is not making a celebrity of Harold Bornstein. Now, HE had potential.

I totally get that, Shiboof. You're one of my favs and I'd be sad to see you go. Also, your avatar is a fine addition to the environment, as I do love my doggies. ♥️

Love that. I will definitely check them out. Like I said, it's been a while so I know next to nothing about any modern bands. First vinyl I bought as a kid was Maiden - Run to the Hills.

It's been a LONG time since I was much into metal but this wall of sound stuff is pretty cool.

Ah, I see. I wasn't really expecting you to answer but naively hoped some BlueSky moderator might pick it up. Then I realized I really don't care all that much. 😁👊

I have heard it said that he is as unpleasant and disliked, as Tommy Tubberville is stupid. That's REALLY hard to believe.
