yeah her answer about court-packing annoyed me... its not my biggest issue but its such a cop-out to say "we think the people should decide" ....

well you're in a debate.. the DEBATE is to HELP PEOPLE DECIDE..... so just give an answer to the question so people can decide

it's also kind of dishonest because we know that:

if Trump wins again, Democrats pack the court.

so how is that the people deciding, unless you mean only in the scenario where Democrats win?? that's like, the opposite of people deciding, if Trump wins. if people decide they want Trump, we'll do the opposite of what people decided with the supreme court? uhhh okay

I would prefer an antisemitic dictator with a strange mustache. At least we know what a guy like that stands for, and he passionately believes it out of love for his own country. Trump, Biden, whoever - American politics have degenerated into a bunch of middlemen for big business and other financial interests. It doesn't matter if their platform is about law and order, racial equity, bringing manufacturing jobs back, etc. It's all clever marketing to get someone elected who, regardless of his/her purported beliefs, is there to make money and consolidate power for people. I mean, all that Illuminati shit is exaggerated conspiracy theory, but the similar, true version of it is that the super rich elite run everything and politics is a sham to keep us blind to them pilfering everything of worth while the rest of us die digging ditches until we're 80 years old.

Maybe you should run for office. McGowan can be your VP.
Just don't let him ride his bike around the White House garden.
