This BTW is how you involve in the story the reality of what the voters think, which is an important portion of election coverage, while still upholding your basic journalistic responsibility to communicate to people what’s actually going on.

    > There tend to be little weirdnesses or inconsistencies in their stories if you really look at where they say they’re coming from and compare it to what they’re doing and saying. And their heart’s not really in it.

    can you explain this more?

      How do you feel about American foreign policy in Central and South America?

        So VERY well played! Damn that was well done man.

        Bravo!

        One of them shows up to start winding into their typical propaganda bullshit and you shut it down with a single question.

        Beautifully done.

          No particular opinion about it you want to share?

          I would think as a person with opinions so strong about geopolitics and America’s role in the world, that you’d be okay with enabling Hitler 2.0 to come to power in your own country because of them… you’d have some kind of opinion on it, even if it wasn’t directly relatable to any current election going on just right at this moment.

          Just one of those little mysteries, I guess.

            no. this is a red herring, and doesn’t explain what you meant at all.

              Wait, have I misunderstood? Who are you planning to vote for / do you think people should vote for in the general election in November?

                  Ah. So somehow we’ve meandered our way back around from Central and South America to “Voting is a waste of time; I as a good left-wing person am going to vote third party and here’s why.”

                  Welp, now that we’ve had that blistering rebuttal to what I was saying about how the shills operate, I have to get on with my day. All the best, love and kisses.
