- Kamala Harris’ campaign is demanding that microphones stay unmuted at the next debate.
- It’s a break from Joe Biden, who insisted on microphone muting at the June 27 debate.
- It indicates the vice president thinks outbursts from Trump would end up benefiting her.
The problem is that muting his mic when it’s not his turn to talk doesn’t keep him from spewing rampant bullshit when it IS his time to talk.
Of course!
But it keeps him from spewing rampant bullshit over his opponent.
Lesser of two evils? He’s gonna be a tool no matter what, just minimize his opportunity to do so.
The question becomes whether or not that interrupting bullshit stream actually harms him more than it helps.
She can interrupt him as well when he’s lying. Biden just had to listen.
It benefits the smarter and more coherent person when mics are unmuted, if played correctly.
