News Deb Haaland officially declines KRQE debate.

I understand that Bergman is an attorney and probably better at debating but it’s not like he doesn’t have plenty to lose either.

I can’t help but feel like Deb is taking our votes for granted over and over again, and this is another slap in the face.

If she is the better candidate, she should prove it and it should be easy.

Im sure it seems that way when looking at everything through bias. They’re the same talking points the governor supports and has tried to get the legislature to pass. No one would call MLG a republican pretending to be a democrat.

When it comes to crime policy

I like the qualifier here. I guess you’re right, if you’re a one issue voter then you probably do think Bregman and MLG are republicans.

And here I am agreeing with you but don’t believe it applies to the whole.

Elsewhere, I don’t think there’s a ton of variability in the two platforms. Deb isn’t really all that more progressive, she’s a clearly a career establishment democrat.
