I was watching previous debate highlights on Hasan's stream earlier today, and it hit me to the extent that presidential debates are needed to sell the myths about America that we keep telling ourselves.Permalink On twitter.com

In a "normal" election year, the whole schtick would work. It's the PEOPLE'S CHOICE. We have two opposing side, to radically different visions for the future of our great nation. It's just two civil servants and a swath of undecided voters ready to participate in the...Permalink On twitter.com

...freest democracy on Earth. But this time, a lot of that façade has all but disappeared.Permalink On twitter.com

There are no "undecided voters" this election. Polling is pretty much stable no matter what happens. Everyone has an opinion already and they're not looking to be moved.Permalink On twitter.com

The people's choice? The freest democracy on Earth? The guy in power lost the popular vote and actively talks about refusing to concede the election if he wins.Permalink On twitter.com

Two opposing sides? Neither side really cares about the nuances of policy. The naked reality of American politics has been made obvious: two assholes in suits want power, and they need to make it seem like it was our "decision" to legitimize that power.Permalink On twitter.com

The debate tonight is just running through the motions of what we've been told a democracy is supposed to look like. It's like some ancient ritual that has long outlived its purpose, practiced only to save the perceived pride of the participantsPermalink On twitter.com

Most studies show that travel bans are some of the least efficient methods of stopping the spread of COVID-19. Not only that but the initial wave that started in New York originated in Europe, which Trump didn't ban for weeks after.Permalink On twitter.com

Neither candidate is really able strike at the heart of what's wrong with the US's COVID response. In that it was entirely concerned with making sure landlords and businesses didn't lose profit and not saving livesPermalink On twitter.com

One thing I'm realizing that I hate about debates is how segmented all the issues are. "The Economy", "COVID-19", and "The Supreme Court", aren't different issues. They all fundamentally shape each other.On twitter.com

The issues are separated because if we considered them as a whole we may talk about entire systems and how those are flawed and perhaps need changing🤔Permalink On twitter.com

This is not a radical take. When there are riots in Iran or Hong Kong that's what our leaders call on these governments to do. But in America it's SEND IT THE MILITARY TO EXECUTE DISSIDENTS IF YOU DON'T YOU HATE UMERIKUHPermalink On twitter.com
