Kamala must do this, Kamala must do that [View all]

Corporate media talking heads are full of advice for Harris in the debates. Much of it is at odds, involving doing more than two different things at once and not too much of each.

Meanwhile, no "advice", or as I like to call it (even when it comes from women) mansplaining for cheato. He is explicitly and literally given a free pass. He has no responsibility to tell the truth or make sense, let alone give detailed plans, appear likeable, or appeal to the majority of voters who dislike him.

AND, just as telling, there are no standards laid out for the media. No responsibility to treat both candidates equally, ask pointed questions, or heaven forbid, FACT CHECK the known liar.

I don't know, sounds kind of unfair to me, DU. What do you think?
