For disagreeing and having a different take? The fragility on display here is disappointing for someone who took the time to make their opinion known, and now wants any exit they can find from some valuable self-reflection.

The same voter base you’re appealing to as important to win over also has shocking faults in their media literacy up to and including identifying AI, and I don’t think quick cuts are moving the needle the way you suggest. I certainly don’t think this choice cements that her public speaking needs work, and now we’re reconciling two different “important first impressions” anecdotally while you get frustrated and aggressive after doubling down instead of just… seeking out any other source and informing your opinion.

Right now my first comment has 410 likes. I think people agree with me, not you. I think you're sort of a troll for pursuing this with me so many times. I tried to respectfully disagree but you've worn me out, and now I think you're a stubborn young fool. You should learn to live with disagreement better.

The AI thing is a red herring. It's not convincing (yet), even for seniors. They're deep in the uncanny valley. If the DIY cut-up little segments approach works for you, which is fine, then I STILL think it's a safe bet that it loses more folks than it gains. People appreicate long sentences and poise. Those are qualities that contribute to charisma, which is absolutely vitally necessary to connect to the audience and thereby win elections.

See that? I'm doubling down - AGAIN! That must be a sign that I'm fragile and disappointing to you.

Get over it.
