Lionel argues that recent "debates" are meaningless "televised theater" and "pageants" that do not move the needle or change any minds. Expect harsh criticism of Mamdani's policy proposals, like the "stupid free bus business" intended to protect bus drivers, and his poor optics, including his tie and distracting mustache. Discussions also cover the vulnerability of candidates who lack "love" from their constituency and the strategic necessity for rival Curtis to step down and create a "grand moment of solidarity" for the sake of the city. Lionel also lampoons people who cannot pronounce the candidate's name and questions the relevance of conventional polling.
