Blog Credo

The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.

Debates

Yeah, I don't watch them.  They are rarely informative, basically dueling press conferences.  Interviews are better, providing they aren't superficial.

But the perception of debates is important. And clearly Harris revived her campaign.  Also, Biden demonstrated his two main flaws: He's a not a very good campaigner and he's very old. Will it matter? If not, why do we do these things?
