Nothing wrong with the use of the word reflecting.
Any your opinion is your opinion and well done for having it. However, making a sweeping generalisation (such as calling something "adolescent musings") without any facts is exactly an example of what both campaigns are currently doing. Make your own mind up, but it's probably a good thing to do some research and not blindly form instant opinions. Nowhere in the article is there a direct urge for a vote either way.
And b3ta isn't the place for it - the internet is never the place for intelligent debate because of how people react without thinking, or reading red text that appears above text entry boxes on the reply page.
Either way, thanks for the feedback!

You are in desperate need of a sub editor.
Your discourse is cumbersome and laboured. You may get things technically correct, but stylistically it's not good, it doesn't ring true or sound natural. My rates are reasonable.

Considering you know little of the many and varied uses of "reflect"
I think you may be overcharging if your services don't involve giving money to your clients, too.
Appreciations as always for the excellent and amusing feedback!

Appreciations?
QED
Using the present participle of reflect in that context is plain weird.
You could say 'It reflects...'
Or maybe 'It is a reflection of...'
But 'it's reflecting that...' is plain weird.
Top tip: the McDonald's advert says 'I'm lovin' it'. No one says this in real life. 'I love it' is what people say.
