Debate Strategies and Public Perception

The discussion highlights how political debates often center around performance rather than substance. It suggests that candidates like Kamala Harris might be perceived as 'winning' debates by skillfully avoiding direct answers while deflecting questions on critical topics. This mirrors a broader trend where public figures can appear successful in public opinion, regardless of the truth behind their statements or policies. By comparing this to a legal defense wherein a guilty individual benefits from technicalities, the commentary underscores the disconnect between perceived success and actual accountability in political discourse.
