- I left the room for a while during last night’s VP debate because it felt like a stream of psychological abuse. Much like Trump, Vance implied to me something like this: “I can say anything and nobody can make me regret it. I can lie, I can throw a cloud of distractions over the conversation, and you can’t call me on it, you can’t stop me. This is how the game is played in America and I’m pretty good at playing this game.”#
- That felt like a stream of abuse to me, and I needed to take a break. Happily, some people are getting better at calling out what needs to be called out. It’s about time. #
- Some things candidates say actually are damning, as Governor Walz noted. More points like that, please, you journalists and politicians. Otherwise, the manipulation, the psychological abuse, continues.#
