Jefferson accused Adams of being a hermaphrodite. Warren G Harding was accused of being part black and only passing as white. We've gotten more polite if anything
the vp debate has inspired a lot of nostalgic recollection of “the way things were,” as if the days of candidates who stood for nothing but power taking turns lying for ninety minutes straight — *politely* though, and with a ‘presidential demeanor’ — was in any way admirable

can we address the fact that a candidate is actually supposed to run through their whole economic policy in under 2 minutes, the whole format is set up to see whose the better debater not who has better ideas

the debates have not actually had anything to do with learning about the way our politicians think about the world, or their philosophy of government, for at least the last thirty years (my living memory), and probably not since the advent of television

But that is the essence of neoliberal "debate". Civility, respect and politeness- but no actual substance, and *definitely* no challenging of dominant ideas. The elites just learned to smile as they kill.

Completely true. Hearing Pence talk fondly about Americans -- with great admiration and reverence -- was like being wrapped in a warm blanket of nostalgia, remembering a better time. A masterful performance by him.

That’s what I don’t understand. So many people prefer the illusion of democracy over the discomfort that comes w/changing the status quo Emotional “feel goods” and virtue signaling is more important than tangible results. Stopping mean tweets is more important than world peacepic.twitter.com/qQMM4Ue6cH
