This is why we need to be able to openly discuss facts, regardless of who the nominee is.

49. How was describing what I honestly saw at the debate treating people poorly?

Here's my self-reflection:

I described what I saw as objective reality - that Joe trailed off in the middle of his thoughts and that he did in fact perform poorly at the debate in a way that could not be attributed to the moderators, the camera angles, his cold, etc. I posted polls that showed he was behind and had been for some time. I did it because I thought we needed to support a hard decision with the truth and the facts as we best understood them at the time as our guide. And I posted all of those things civilly without ever hurling personal abuse at anyone or attributing malicious motivations to them. And I would do exactly the same thing next time.

There you go. Your turn.
