What a canditate says and what is written on the website is two different things, everything on their site was written by other people to sound as good as possible, if you asked them to recite one policy on their site they probably couldn't do it
Also, the reason they push other topics is because they know they don't have time to fully cover the issues they really want to, which makes them have to sideline other topics in order to focus on some of their other ones
It's always better to verbally discuss issues, in Canada we may have short elections but we spend countless hours discussing issues back and forth, a one hour debate for you guys would be like 10 hours here, sadly civil discussion doesn't exist in your country
It amazes me how you guys can have a year long election and still end up with results like these, the standard election period here is 37 days and we also have spending limits because it's kind of ridiculous how over one-billion dollars has been used in your guys election just this year alone
