I think you have a lot of unconscious biases you’re accepting as fact. Were Van Gogh’s paintings not worthwhile because they weren’t photorealistic?

“Double indemnity!”

They’re not posing to get their picture taken, Shaggy just appeared there, and she was instantly paralyzed

The first person NBC interviewed after their coverage of the VP debate said that Walz gave competent answers about policy, and clearly stood for average people, while Vance just deflected the whole time. And then he said he still didn’t know who he was going to vote for, and that the VP debate couldn’t sway him anyway.
