Do people on PaRD agree with this?
I thought Kamala came across fine, but I'm someone bewildered by the constant "likability" questions women politicians get.
My opinion is biased by knowledge of her politics and circumstances but I couldn't help but notice that virtually 100% of lines spoken by Kamala in this debate were shrill, moralizing lectures. Basically screeching "~think of the children~". Actually literally invoking that over immigration. There wasn't a single calm, rational, logical point I remember her making, just nonstop barrage of thumping morals. Now, is that how she came off to normal folks, outside of PARD and even outside of Luntz's widely-recognized-as-reliable focus groups? I feel like she had the demeanor of a liberal californian senator, not a milquetoast national politician.

I struggled through the whole debate to find one thing she said that was true.
I'd like to see a fact check that points out the true things Kamala said during the debate
She lied about breonna taylor, lied about george floyd, lied about fracking, lied about manufacturing jobs, lied about hurricanes, lied about the green new deal, lied about the pandemic team being disbanded, lied about what trump said at charlottesville, lied about not hiking taxes (special note: CNN's fact checkers used this doozy of a quote "This needs context and
depends a lot on how you define taxes."), she lied about pre-existing conditions, lied about how many businesses are closed and lied about Trump's taxes. And I think the worst moment was when she went full blown anti-vaxxer
That part is indefensible.
Mike Pence, basically distilled neoconservative republican concentrate molded into human form, was up there giving a factual argument about the cost/benefits of economics and climate change and talking about pragmatic ways to bring down CO2 emissions
Kamala Harris told people she wouldn't take a vaccine if Trump took it.
