my prediction is one canidate will be unreasonable and yell so loud you will hear him from the other mics when hes muted and then the other one will get muted at the least provocation because they have to seem fair and balanced in its use.
Please give each other the controls to mute one another. Also give the buttons a cooldown. I wanna see those fucks smashing the hell out of their buttons.
receive at least 15% in four separate national polls of registered or likely voters that meet CNN’s standards for reporting
Ugh, this nonsense again? How are people supposed to get there without the media coverage something like a national debate would provide?
I like the rest of the rules, but I did notice they didn't mention Oliver Chase, the Libertarian Party candidate. I doubt he'd get to the 15% mark, but he meets the rest of the requirements.
I'd love to see a 5-way debate. More than that seems a bit much, but for an early debate, it can really give voters an interesting set of alternative perspectives, and the two major party candidates would likely be pushed into answering some uncomfortable (read: informative for voters) questions.
We've got 4 years to work on that. We have to hammer the primaries and the mid terms and get more people active in trying to get STAR voting or ranked choice, or pretty much anything except FPTP.
Canvas for your dog catcher and every other piddly position that gets elected. Don't wait to fall in love. Vote for the furthest left that can win any given election and keep pushing left.
Honestly if that's even brought up, I will be amazed.
I sick and tired of people softballing questions at politicians, and even when they do lob a mildly difficult question, they never follow up or press when it's immediately dismissed.
