Like every former HS debater, I know people like Vivek Ramaswamy, and none of them should be President

Vivek Ramaswamy is like a snake oil salesman, will sell you grand promises he won’t deliver on and nothing about him seems authentic.

These guys talking to the moderators before the "debate": Are you a flow judge?

Didn't watch the debate, did he "win" by talking really fast? (My only experience with competitive debate was when my college roommate convinced me to go to one of his things, and my only takeaway was "the micro machines guy would be really good at this")

Yep. Two broad categories of debaters: those who want to explore the issues in depth, and those who want to be able to convince anyone of anything. Didn't change at the college level.

It's nuts that he's trying to sell himself to the people who see a guy like him as other than human.

Former Extemp Speaker and it's the same energy. High school debate/forensics has done more harm to this country than any LGBTQ+ themed book in a library ever could.
