Congratulations, America; you got your spectacle.
The problem is media coverage: treat the (unnecessary) event like a key sporting event and idiots will opine as to who “won” or “lost.” The event–because nothing was debated–was merely more reality TV, with Chris Wallace pushing for drama (“Can you renounce Satan? Right now?”). No Donna Brazile even bothered to leak the questions because they no longer matter. It’s a race to the bottom; if the Biden campaign were smart they would have said no to the event. Can anyone really claim they learned πΌπππππππ during this event? These events are useless and add nothing.
Lil Tay was a nine year-old Internet sensation who used foul language while flexing (that is, flaunting her wealth) on Youtube until she reached more than a million followers. Her father pulled the plug because he believed that a child should not engage in such behavior.
Lil Tayβs success showed that a million people approved of her unrestrained greed. They had no problem mocking those who disapproved. Better to be sad in a chauffeur-driven luxury car than happy on a bicycle is one modern Chinese saying. The bicycle rider doesnβt know where his next meal is coming from; the automobile passenger is unconcerned.
