Kamala Harris was the Only Reason I Watched the Vice-Presidential Debate
We didn’t learn anything new.
After the presidential debate between Joe Biden and Donald Trump, we all needed a shot of normalcy or just a shot. When the fiasco CNN’s Jake Tapper called a “hot mess inside a dumpster fire inside a train wreck” ended, we had no more clarity than what we started with. So, the least we all could expect from the vice-presidential debate of 2020 was two adults having a conversation, which we got.
We also got Kamala Harris, the first woman of color to debate as a major candidate on the national stage. Since I am living in a dark history unfolding, this is the light I needed to see.
Of course, we still didn’t learn anything new about the candidates’ policies.
A lackluster circus
I normally don’t watch debates or political speeches because I don’t feel like I’ve learned anything when I do. I’m only paying more attention now because, as a history buff, I want to be present as it happens around me.
It’s not like I enjoy watching ringmaster politicians. Even after watching the grown-up in The White House, Mike Pence and the force that is Kamala Harris, I felt meh, overall.
