Democratic lawmakers are leery about the prospect of President Biden debating former President Trump, fearing that putting the two on stage together would only elevate the likely GOP nominee. Trump…
“debates” today are just, ‘lets stand up and state predefined talking points’. and purposefully so, both parties chose this path when they let the league of women voters walk out the door. This left a void of responsibility no group has claimed.
Policy and governance largely don’t matter since it is “I dunno, I’ll try to avoid overly fucking over The American People while getting some stuff better?” versus “I am going to turn this into gilead (just much stupider since a literary, or even tv, reference is too much for that moron”
But I do think it would “help” to have at least one “debate”. I know a couple people who were really worried about Biden and were buying into the “he has dementia and is weak” propaganda. When he thought trump was attacking Beau and went off on him… that convinced them.
While I basically agree on the outcome, I worry that it will lead to more absence of presidential debates which feels problematic in terms of keeping people in echo chambers . I mean I don’t seriously think anyones mind will change but generally hearing it out anyway is…maybe productive? Idk
it will accomplish nothing.
conservatives dont care about facts, or policy or governing. its me me me me and nothing else.
a debate will be ignored by both sides as superfluous.
