California Democrats Won’t Debate in Any Race for Statewide Office
Breitbart ^ | 15 September 2022 | Joel B. Pollak

Posted on 09/15/2022 7:01:35 AM PDT by Magnatron

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.

Democrats have rejected all of these requests for debates, though media outlets have been interested in hosting them. Breitbart News has even responded favorably to a general call from Hochman’s campaign to media outlets to host debates — to no avail.

The refusal to debate is unprecedented.

Seems to be a trend all over the country with Democrats. How cowardly do you have to be when you know that you'll be given softball questions while your opponent gets an extra person on the stage to debate from the moderator?

I suppose when you can count on a compliant media and voter fraud, you can push your totalitarianism as far as you want...

They refuse to debate because they are not engaged in actual campaigns. California elections have been farcical for years.

Biden simply followed the ‘rats’ California playbook and presto.

Snowflakes and their princesses have a lot of trouble thinking on their feet. Debates aren’t their bag.

Cheaters have nothing to gain with debates. Waste of their time. Doesn’t matter what the electorate thinks about it.

Republicans should buy air time and hold mock debates. Ask real debate questions with Republican candidates giving real answers and stand-ins giving what amounts to a parody. Make it funny. Mock the crap out Democrat candidates.

I’ll play devil’s advocate. If I was them I wouldn’t debate either. California is a Democrat state. Brain dead voters walk into the booth and pull the Dem lever without even thinking about it, and there are more Dems than Repubs. So if I was a Dem, why would I give my opponent the oxygen that comes from a debate?

Democrats don’t have to compete for votes in California; they own them. All political conflicts are strictly within the party.

And the empty chair thing lost. The dems are very, very smart to avoid debates.

Then again, Trump blew it too with his 2 debates against biden.

Do many state-wide races even have a Republican on the ballot this year? I know that Harris ran for Senate against another dem.

Hold the Debates anyway, but put up an Empty Chair with the candidates name and use their previous statements for answers to questions asked

Why bother debating?
Or campaigning for that matter (remember Biden hiding in his basement for the entire 2020 ?)

When you’ve got the voting count rigged — you can relax and enjoy life

California is conquered territory. Totally controlled. Go out there and take a look

Why would they? They’ve perfected voter fraud. Conservatives outnumber trash/liberals but three select metropolitan areas control the elections. Not because more people live there than in the rest of the state. But, again, because they’ve perfected voter fraud.

Part of the radical Liberal playbook is to not debate opponents. Their reason is that by debating, you are giving legitimacy to opposing viewpoints and those that hold them. Those viewpoints, in their opinion have no merit, are dangerous and therefore should be ignored or at best ridiculed.

We’ve all heard; As Kalifornia goes, so goes the nation. Kalifornia’s government today is a criminally controlled cabal of communist democrats. We’ve also heard the saying; kill it before it multiples. We’re behind that curve because WA and OR are already contaminated with Kalifornia like politicians.
