lets see you explain that statement without sounding like a Mysogynist.

 

I already did..

I will quote my comment replying to another user about this:

"This comment above is the reason why I criticized people saying Republicans are sexist for not liking Kamala. Because the same tactic is used against us when we criticize Hilary. This guy thinks its sexist to say Hilary is the wrong kind of strong woman. All im saying is being a strong woman is not always a posative thing if that means you are a war criminal. I dont care if "progressives" here think im sexist for saying this."

The format of these "debates" doesn't leave room for prosecutorial grilling. Nobody has to answer the questions asked of them and nobody has to be accountable for their own statements. Political debates are really not useful tools. They are just games. 

In the VP debate, candidates are simply out there to make their points and not f*ck anything up.

Instead of accusing Kamala of being the "wrong kind of strong woman" (WTF? :triggered:), why don't we talk about Pence being the "wrong kind of man"? 

And misogyny and racism are very much rampant on the left as well as the right – Republicans just tend to be more blatant about it.

Why would I bring Pence up when the person I was replying to was saying criticism of a strong woman like Kamala is sexist? They brought up Kamala so I replied by saying shes the wrong kind of strong woman. Meaning being strong is not necessarily a good thing. You can be a strong woman by being a war criminal and using innocent people in jail for free labor.

Maybe if you actually mentioned me you would understand my point..

I'm not trying to quote any one user here but am speaking to the general response to Kamala by certain media outlets and Twitter users. 

I am aware of Kamala's problems, and she wasn't my first choice for president or VP, but she and Biden are a heck of a lot better than Trump and Biden.

Its fine I just hope you understand what I was saying even if you still disagree with it. And yes I agree with everything you said, Biden & Kamala are way better than Trump & Pence.

perfectly fine to say you think someone is the wrong kind of strong.  Interjecting “woman” in that is what leads to questioning as to whether the fact that she’s a woman has something to do with your opinion and whether you’d feel the same about a man who did the same things.  “Kamala projects the wrong kind of strength” nobody would immediately assume as sexist.

You should question me when you think im saying something wrong. I will correct my mistake or explain myself. But no need to accuse me of being sexist unless my explanation of what I said is still sexist.

Pence: "Great question Susan. But I'm going to answer a different question that I asked myself in my head about ISIS."

"...and since it's technically two questions, I'm going to spend four minutes to circle around to campaign bullet points."

I think the "abrasive" and "condescending"  responses were because she threw darts at their ideology. She talked about doing policy based on science, as if Trump's policy was only based on $ money.   Imagine how unscientific people must be to walk into an airborn covid-19 hotspot rally without even a mask on their face and call it freedom.

They called Pence presidential because of stereotype, because their favorite president's were older gray haired men that are somewhat combative, a stereotype. Harris will break stereotype, assuming she is elected.

Also, I would assume that Fox viewers that are undecided would be more libertarian ideologically, just a guess.

PS. Harris followed the rules. Pence didn't. 

PS. It's just that people need to hear that we follow science to make better decisions to save lives, save money on medical care, save money on disaster relief, and make the bad stuff less bad and shorter lasting.  

😆 I have to stop writing.😆

Debates are are farce because 'moderators' have no teeth. We should invite GagaDaily moderators to impose the mighty fist of justice on debate rulebreakers as they do a much better job (also how come both moderators have been conservative?)
