The speaker critiques the tendency of politicians, specifically pointing to evasive communication tactics, where rather than addressing direct questions, they engage in elaborate distractions. This technique often involves lengthy historical references and emotional appeals, which serve to obscure the original query. The critique emphasizes a lack of substance and clarity in political discourse, highlighting the disconnect between what is promised and the actual responses given. Additionally, there's an observation on the performative aspects of political interactions, where engaging theatrics and attempts to relate to diverse audiences can further detract from genuine answers and accountability, ultimately reinforcing a cycle of 'BS' that audiences may uncritically accept.
