They shouldn't be in politics then. That just shows that they really don't believe in what they're saying.

Or they get nervous? Fuck man idk if you've ever spoken publicly but of all the things to criticize this kunt for shaky voice is the least damning lol.

Doug, do we have to have an intervention? You're literally defending Kamala Harris right now.

Her getting stage fright is a sign that she would be a terrible president. She cracks under pressure. She's afraid. I like my leaders to have titanic brass balls that don't crack under pressure.

I'm an excellent public speaker.

Lol I think it's just because I'm a terrible public speaker and get really nervous so I kind of relate to it. Honestly it's probably the uppers they give em that do it. Biden wallace and harris were all clearly geeked out.

The trick I learned about public speaking is to think of whatever you're about to say is the most important shit that's ever been said and you need all the people in the room to hear it.

Crash's point is valid; it means HeelsUp knew what she was saying wasn't important enough to focus on, and/or she knew she was lying and nervous for that reason.

Also, I like leaders that don't need a speedball to function. It really means JoeBlow both know they can't compete on the basis of their own ability. While performance enhancing drugs exist, they don't produce 4 year reliability like someone who's competent.

I'm on team doug. All he's doing is giving honest observation.

We don't live in lefty world where objective fact is dependent on the persons political beliefs.

Please remember that Kamala getting stage fright is in response to her being afraid of being on stage. Where she potentially would be for 4 years if they won. If you want to be the voice of 300+ million people, then you can't be cracking on stage. This isn't a school board position. She literally is trying to be vice president of the United States of America.

So no, getting stage fright is not okay.

Don't downvote me. This isn't reddit. We're all Pedes here.

I've spoken publicly many times and yes it's terrifying before you go on stage, but when I'm up there, I'm so in the moment that I am completely calm. It's only hard when you're putting on an act.

Not to play devil's advocate, but stage fright is a very real phenomenon that I have personally experienced. I was absolutely right in my psychology presentation, but sounded like an adolescent trying to present it.

Politics is theater. Politicians should not be afraid of the stage. I understand that it's a real thing. I'm not saying it's not. Leaders can't be afraid of that though. That gal was running for president. Tulsi Gabbard destroyed her on stage and she started stammering. She backed down from Tulsi who is not a bully. Tulsi is a super nice lady. Kamala was wimpering like a scared puppy from Tulsi gabbard.

This lady is supposed to be the back up for the president? It does matter if she gets stage fright.

I got over that shit. I got over that shit the day my first sergeant screamed in my face and told me to get the company in formation. Shit didn't matter after that point. I had bigger problems. An angry first sergeant is the scariest thing you could ever imagine. Especially when his neck was as thick as a tree trunk. Stage fright? I thought I was going to be murdered in that moment.

Nah, it's not the same thing. She's spoken in public before. She's been on TV railing against Trump people in senate hearings. It's not stage fright, it's her showing that she feels inadequate, while trying to create a facade of being a savior. It shows how scared they are of Pence and Trump when it comes to having to deal with them face to face. They know they're playing games, and they're desperately trying to avoid an embarrassing "ah ha! I've got you now!" moment. Except that's exactly what happened in both debates. Trump did it to Biden multiple times, especially when he brought up Hunter, Biden was standing there with his head down in shame. Those are exactly the moments they want to avoid, but can't.
