On Friday, The American Thinker posted an article about the real debate in this presidential election cycle–it wasn’t on television–it is at the kitchen table.
The article reports:
ABC staged a debate this week. A presidential debate. Ostensibly between former president Donald J. Trump and former senator Kamala Harris, but in actuality between Trump and the partnership of Harris and ABC.
There is always media bias. To some extent, unconscious media bias is unavoidable. But we don’t expect it to be blatant; the viewer doesn’t expect antics like we saw this week, when the ABC moderators repeatedly declared Mr. Trump’s statements lies, and never called out Ms. Harris’s blatant lies.
We call it “fact-checking” today, a term coined in social media for when our high-tech overlords punish a writer for stating something with which the gurus disagree. But it’s not really fact-checking, is it? It’s an invasion of a conversation, a denial of free speech, a thumb on the scale. In the case of a presidential debate, it’s electioneering.
And it virtually invalidates the value of our constitutionally protected free press in this process. ABC’s refusal even to try to act as an impartial host rendered this debate useless.
So let’s look instead at the other debates — millions of them — going on in America, both that day and every day in 2024.
Across the country, there are millions of families shopping in their local grocery store. More of them must choose the discount grocery compared to five years ago; more must use coupons, or activate their store’s discount app on their cell phones today.
Please follow the link above to read the entire article. When we vote on election day, we need to remember the impact the change of administration in 2020 has had on almost all Americans. Some of the ‘celebrities’ who are supporting Kamala Harris have not been impacted by the economic policies of the past three years–so until everything collapses, the economy is not a concern of theirs. However, the rest of us will be living with the results of the coming election.
The article concludes:
There are many more such debates taking place across America, in the family car, over the kitchen table, or in the bedroom after the kids are asleep, as hardworking everyday American couples try to compromise on some way to get through these hellish years of Bidenflation.
It’s not one mistake, one policy choice, one single culprit. It’s the entire Biden-Harris regime — their executive orders, their agency regulations, their foreign policy, and their general incredibly thoughtless wastefulness, in everything they touch and everything they do.
Every American knows that the election of Kamala Harris would mean four more years of all this.
These are the debates that matter to the American public this week.
These personal, private, tragic debates — as the cost of living has gone up by three, four, five times as much as salaries have — are the debates on the minds of American working families, and small business owners, and retirees, and young adults desperately trying to look ahead to a future that can’t possibly seem promising.
Forget the debate that ABC ruined on Tuesday.
These other conversations, these other tough choices and compromises — these are the debates to which we should be paying attention.
