(1,055 posts)online political forum. People are going to have strong views. While things shouldn't go over the top, and rules should of course be respected, it is also true that politics isn't for those with paper-thin skin as strong responses are going to occur. Strong language, even profanity, is allowed here, as it should be.
It would be nice if you would please answer the question. Let's not keep going round and round the mulberry bush. Where do think this rabbit hole conversation over this debate thing is going? What purpose does it serve? Either our candidate is Biden, which is for him to decide and no one else (which he already has and he's not leaving, or it is an extremely divisive chaotic mess trying to launch a whole new campaign four months out and almost certainly handing the win to Rapist Trump. Do you really think changing candidates now actually would not cause massive disruption and contested division in the party? Of course it would.
And we would lose incumbency and party unity which are predictive factors whereas debates are not.
