1. Politics are not about ideas anymore, it's about how bad you can smear your opponent.
2. Moderators and panels don't ask questions to elicit good policy debate.
I've watched at least 10 house or senatorial debates. I've yet to watch the debate where Republican was asked what would you do specifically to bring gas prices down and fight the crime epidemic. Every answer is become more energy independent as that i is a policy position.
Same with crime and this goes with both sides. Although we can't policy our way out of crime why not have a substantive conversation about it?
A debate used to find intelligence levels and honesty. Now all anyone needs to know is all Republicans are scum morons who supported traitors, liars and hate.
Vote Democrat. No debate needed.
you would understand what they are referring to as being "energy independent". It IS a policy. The Keystone pipeline completion was part of that plan of bringing copious Canadian shale oil from Alberta as well as Alaskan oil when extended eventually).
It would have been operating now if Biden hadn't scrapped it for his Climate Change agenda. The drilling regulations Biden imposed. The cancellation of oil company contracts in ANWR. If Biden had not done that, we would all be happy right now. Trump saw this coming. As usual, Biden made the wrong decision.
That being said, the MSM has insisted on onserting itself into the debates,. the journalists are no longer neutral and even openly state that their job is to portray the real truth as they see it (which is from a liberal perspective). They don't hire or tolerate conservatives in their ranks.
Any debate needs to be free of their bias these days. I agree...do away with them
EXCEPT....then we all couldn't see if Joe can string together coherent thoughts still.
The tar sands from Keystone was to be refined and shipped out of the US....prove me wrong!
The ANWR permits had been out there for years with no movement so you can't miss what you never had....prove me wrong!
If Biden has knee capped the oil industry so drastically why is production at 2019 levels right now?....prove me wrong
it if we wanted. It is needed badly in both places. Now we have inept Biden giving sweet deals to iran and Venezueal and Russia.
