She isn’t allowed to get frustrated because she’s a black woman. That’s the sad reality.

Not only that but she can't come across as condescending either because she's a black woman.

At the end of the day she must cater to low-info battleground state swing-voters. That is her target audience because she can do no right in the eyes of maga and she doesn't really have to worry about Democrats.

So what will someone like my uncle who fits that description respond positively to in such a debate?

Probably not a pissing contest, but constantly pivoting directly to saying, "look I hear you. I understand many of you are feeling the pressure in the economy. You've been told it's getting better but many of you aren't feeling it. I understand. But we have a plan to relieve some of that pressure. And while we aren't where we want to be, our country has recovered following the pandemic better than any country in the world. Slow and steady wins the race, and electing someone as volatile as Donald Trump who only helps his rich friends will not help the markets."

I hope she brings up the piss tape and calls him an orange bitch.
