Brianna claims she has all her signatures and will totally be on the ballot this November. We know this isn’t happening unless she paid thousands for it to happen, but just in case:What questions should residents of District 8 ask dueling debates? What kinds of things should Lynch say if forced to be in a room with Brianna?

My initial thoughts are:

Brianna: Lynch wants to literally murder me because I’m a bisexual woman. Here’s what he said in 1996

Lynch: Here’s something even worse on the subject that Brianna Tweeted today. {Cuts to PowerPoint}
 
I hope he sells his Porsche for a chance to be on the ballot and the debate.

Question for both: What's your stance on Gamergate?
Brianna goes nuclear. Lynch looks at him in disbelief and simply say "I support independent unbiased journalism". Brianna's head explode.
 
Im waiting for actual concerns and issues to come up and Brianna sips her water and says "pass".
 
Just ask normal political questions that require expertise and common sense to answer satisfactorily.
 
What will be the subject of your first filibuster?

(Make John answer first.)

“Well there’s this group of indie developers who have been close friends for years and only came together on that specific basis to make a game, and although they do include minorities and women, there are no minority women who are also trans. So naturally I call one of them a transphobic pigfucker on twitter, and he has the nerve to tell me to fuck off who even am I. So, to answer your question, what’s a filibuster?”
 
All Lynch has to do is ask about what in "Brianna's" work or educational history makes him competent to serve the people of District 8.

And we all know John doesn't have either.
Lying about it during a debate would be the end to his pretend (game dev, tech genius and woman)game.
 
God there's so many.

Where did you get your engineering degree, or any degree you claim to have? Why do you still have a Patreon saying you're creating video games when you're demonstrably and admittedly not? For which paper, and when, were you "an investigative crime reporter?" Why do you feel it's necessary to justify buying a Porsche and lying about it by saying you bought it surprisingly cheap to replace your "totaled Honda," and then immediately delete the tweet response of someone asking what happened to the Audi and how much the brand new Porsche you ordered costs?

Really it could just boil down to: "Prove that anything you've ever said is not an out and out lie."
 
Something about her heel-turn from being an avid Hillary supporter to Berniecrat.

Questions about her broken website and how that reflects on her campaign and computer background.

Moonrocks and Bitcoin. How much ambien is she taking on a daily basis?
 
Lynch has been in Congress for 18 years, and he's always cruised to reelection. There's no reason for him to have a formal debate - especially in a primary against someone that will get 10% of the vote in the best of circumstances.

There are still candidate forums that every party club and activist group try to arrange. These are generally cattle calls where candidates up and down the ballot show up and have a few minutes to speak. Lynch will have a surrogate for these.

If there is a high-profile group throwing one of these events, he'll appear personally if it works with his schedule. He'll speak for a few minutes along with the other few candidates. If he speaks first, his rhetoric will be along the lines of, "You know me. I'm from your community. Anecdote about where I have coffee or something. I'm proud of [example] I've done for the district. Something about how I'm standing up to Trump. I've been fighting for progressive values for years. Stick with me. Etc." If another candidate speaks before lynch, he'll address their complaint in passing but stick to the general script. He likely won't ever mention any other candidate's name.

But if there is a true debate, I think the best question would be one that points out Wu's complete absence of community involvement and public service. I think that the job and background questions just offer an opportunity for Wu to trot out some talking points and filibuster. Either that or pull out a tweet that makes Wu seem completely bonkers or out of touch with the community.
 
We know how badly he behaves when he has to give someone else a moment to talk, and the tantrums he throws when he has to answer an actual question, not some softballed shit from a friendly "journalist".
I'm :optimistic: as hell I know but can you imagine how badly he'd be destroyed in an actual debate. He'd make himself look even more of an ass than he already does. In truth though, nobody thinks Wu is a serious candidate. Even if the paid-for signatures work and he does get onto the ballot, he's not going to get invited to a serious debate and he'll never be within 100 miles of Stephen Lynch.
 
"Why are the characters in Revolution 60 identical to, and have exactly the same names as characters made for Socially Unconscious, a comic by a Mr. John Flynt from 2 decades ago?"

Lynch: You claim that if elected, you would be one of if not the most qualified congressperson to speech on technology. What qualifies you to say this.

Wu:Lies, lies, GamerGate lies

Lynch: isn’t it true that the only “engineering team” you managed was a group of Craigslist hires you never paid, but who did all of the technical work to create your failed game? Apart from that your only paying job was a temporary gig as a GameStop cashier.

Wu: Snarling, snapping

Lynch: Can you produce any of your investigative journalism work? Apart from a college editorial where you called Monica lewinsky a literal whore, my team can’t find anything.



It would never ever happen, but it was fun to write this out.
