Contact the debate commission and tell them what you think

media@debates.org

This is unwatchable and no service to voters. If the next debates are similar there is no point in watching. We have devolved into a crappy reality tv show where everyone just bickers all show.

However, imho, tRump and his crapfest followers love the fuck out of this. Debates are not intended to be a service to voters anymore. They’re intended to get ratings. Fuck this shit show.

I'm pretty sure they know what they are doing and think ratings are everything but doesn't hurt to let them know your feelings.

To express my disgust at how poorly moderated this debate is and to suggest that future moderators have the ability to cut mikes when someone is speaking out of turn.

During the periods when a person is supposed to be "uninterrupted" the microphones of other participants should be off.
They should all be off when the moderator is speaking.
