So... The reason that they want the mic muted is because they openly admit they don't trust Trump is incapable of maintaining self-discipline? And yet they work to have put him in one of the most powerful positions in the world. Good job, cognitive dissonant idiots.
Harris should, during one of her debate answers, ask him if he’s not afraid to unmute his mic for the whole debate.
He said we wasn’t afraid to unmute. Fine. Have both candidates agree to a rule change while on the stage. All it means is that some person no longer has to hover over two buttons.
If the mics are muted, Harris should stage whisper during his answers:
“Look at his tiny, little hands. Look how small they are.”
“Trump pays for sex twice. Once for the deed and again to keep them from talking about his little penis and that he’s a two-pump chump.”
Kamala, if you're reading this, please stop. Listen to your real advisors.
Don’t even bother. Everyone knows VP Harris gets campaign advice exclusively from Lemmy.
As she should.
It sure worked out positively for her Walz pick.
I would donate to this cause.
Funny but that would end up looking really creepy lol
Still not close to as creepy s as Trump and Vance are on a daily/hourly basis.
Harris is trying to unironically plan a 4d chess strategy completely unaware that Trump will just shit all over the board and every single one of his supporters will declare it genius.
Her strategy already worked. The point was "trump can't control himself" and that was the story for a week
fearing the silence. hilarious.
I'm convinced Dems want the mics muted and just pulled some classic reverse psychology on Republicans to make them double down on muted mics. It's too easy to bait them with stuff like this.
