Democrat Strategy: California Democrats Won’t Debate in Any Race for Statewide Office

They claim to be “defending democracy,” but not one of the Democratic Party candidates for statewide office in California has agreed to debate his or her opponent, rejecting what many voters see as a key part of the democratic process.

As CalMatters notes:

As Election Day approaches, you’re likely to spot Gov. Gavin Newsom popping up inplenty of television ads. You’ll see state controller candidate Malia Cohen on her various social media feeds. Attorney General Rob Bonta will be busy attending plenty of press conferences.

But what are the odds that voters will catch any of these Democrats at a televised political debate? Don’t bet on it.

That’s over the strenuous objections of their three Republican opponents and the state GOP. For weeks, controller candidate Lanhee Chen has been calling on Cohen — sometimes accompanied by a dancing chicken — to meet him on the debate stage.

On Tuesday, two other GOP candidates for statewide office joined the call. State Sen. Brian Dahle, who is running a long-shot campaign to unseat Newsom, cheered on Fox 11 anchor Elex Michaelson after the reporter offered to moderate a gubernatorial debate. Two hours later, attorney general candidate Nathan Hochman challenged Bonta to not one, but three debates — at minimum.

The Rs need to scream about this at every opportunity possible.
Call out the Dems on social media, go on the local news & talk shows
Hell, mount speakers to a car & drive around Dem populated areas, letting every resident know that so & so is too damned scared to debate.
And call out their failings and what the Rs will do to change that...

And while they are at it...smear every single Dem as Misogynists, racists, and the REAL Homophobes, by pointing out their fear of straight, white, Christian men, while destroying women with Trannys...

The Rs need to demand that the debates be held, if the Ds don't show place an empty chair in their spot and continue.

It's California. Dems there believe debating Reps is beneath them.
Well, that, and there's no way in h-e-double hockey sticks they can defend any of their policies, even to the morons who voted for them, or the fact that every other phrase out of their pie holes is "mo' money! Gib us mo' money!"

Ah, there's that famous Democrat transparency in action....

But I can't blame them. If I were a braindead drooler who jerks off over dead babies and doesn't know what a woman is, I probably wouldn't want to debate in public either. I'd do what they do, just go on prog-friendly talk shows and discuss my bad ass shoes and how much I hate Donald Trump.

Because, really, the dorksteins who vote for these people - that's all they really want. You start saying anything of substance, their eyes glaze over and they go back to watching OnlyFans.

The people who vote for these Democrats are as bad as the Democrats. They don't want a debate either because their candidate might lose the debate and they would be confused.
They want what they have. They want the corrupt politicians they voted for.

Forget changing any votes if they had a debate. It won't happen.
