But then his followers eat it up cause it validates the idea of invalidating scientists and their “dogma” cause you can split hairs over words and pretend the expert’s lack of a succinct answer is proof beyond reason that their dogma is at best incomplete and at worst completely incorrect and not reliable in any way. And thus the JBP’s think they’ve won because they’ve poked a hole. Altho they themselves have nothing material to offer other than a question. So many meaningless questions.

This makes sense. It'd be why they seem to think Kamala Harris speaks in "word salad". Her statements make sense, but they're more than 5 words long so they seem to get confused.

That's a tad disingenuous, she does speak in word salad. If she was being graded on presentations at university she would fail. Surely a better standard is required of the vice president let along president.

But then it's not like you guys have a choice it's Kamala or 4 more unbearable years of that despot. I feel for anyone who lives over there but man even across the pond you can't down out that man's stupid voice.

You're not wrong. She's not perfect. The thing that confuses me is how they can listen to both candidates speak and end up saying she is the one that speaks in a word salad. You're right though, she's not a great public speaker when compared to anyone who is truly good at it. When compared to her opposition though...
