Debates? Why bother?

[newdayneeded]

I think we're done with those too, what's the fucking point?

[LisaL]

1. I don't see the point either.

Biden should have just refused to debate Trump.

[SomedayKindaLove]

2. It's the only chance Dems can get airtime?

[LisaL]

4. What good does that do?

[Jit423]

3. I am with you on that. A primary, a campaign, a vote.

Just go with our guts after that. At least we can avoid the biased role that media plays.

5. The Gigantic War Chest Of Kamala, And This Is The Result?

I'm so done with giving money in the future. It clearly makes no difference, especially when those on the other side have ways of getting so much more.

[beaglelover]

14. I gave up giving $ after 2016. No point.

6. We Need to Bust Right Wing Media Monopoly

We need to find a way to bust the right wing media monopoly.

[brush]

15. Wish Bloomberg and Soros would start a progressive network to counter FOX.

OAN and Newmax. 24/7 propaganda is a huge winger advantage.

7. All we need to do is ask Putin and the billionaires who they want in the WH.

End of story.

8. Lawrence O'Donnell said that debates have nothing to do with your ability to govern after Biden's bad debate.

9. Basically

There's really no need any more.

The political landscaped has shifted.

Time to snap and adapt.

[Fiendish Thingy]

10. The debate was the high point of the Harris campaign

Millions watched, but apparently 250,000 swing state voters (Trump’s margin of victory) did not.

[qazplm135]

11. Agreed

No more debates and no more building GOTV operations that clearly haven't mattered three elections in a row, including in 20 when Biden won with almost no GOTV operation.

Focus that money on building media outreach. Podcasts, TikTok, YouTube, Twitter, Facebook. Talk radio. Put together our own liberal TV network like the three or so that conservatives have now that's dedicated to democratic messaging.

The old tools simply don't work anymore.

[newdayneeded]

12. But our billionaires don't

want to pay for that like there's.

[yaesu]

13. I'm done with this country, put a fork in it and move on

to a real democracy like Canada or Finland. I do not believe there will be any resemblance of an election in the future, more like the kind China, russia and hungary have.
