3. The repitition is effective.

This is why what's essential in this election will be turnout. Loeffler and Purdue will be using fear as their primary campaign argument because it's worked. The argument has to be made the the true radicals are Loeffler, Purdue, and the Republicans. What's more radical in a democracy than the belief that only one group of people can make the laws and choose the judges? Like Trump, the Republicans ascribe behaviors to other that they consistently engage in. They are the radicals, and they'll say anything and tell any lie to maintain their power.

2. Political debates need fact checking attached to shock collars.

And, new rule: every time a Republican uses the word "socialist", the word "STUPID LIAR" should be automatically flashed across the screen for 5 seconds.

But mostly, debating Democrats need to tell the public that Republicans don't care one whit about you unless you're already doing well and then their care goes only just far enough to get your vote. They advertise hate as "common sense", capitalizing off the lack of love in their and your own lives. If you ever suffer personal disasters or catastrophic life challenges don't waste your time trying to get help from Republican politicians, they think you're just too expensive to keep. They are the low-grade steel of rusty automobiles and the false promises of payday loan sharks. Their lies are as predictable as the seasons and it's election season today.

Did she move her head at all? Does she know how to smile? She makes Pence look exuberantly animated.

6. It Seems Like Loeffler Has That Smirk Permanently Painted On Her Face!

Just from the short clips I watched in the first video, I would say that it didn't move the needle one bit. Loeffler had her cover story and alibis down pat for those who were inclined to follow the standard Trumpian party line for those who came to the debate inclined to believe her, and vote for her.
