Debates between men, even if both chairs are full, are still empty.
The problem is that I don't think that voting=democracy.
Issues=democracy. First vote on the issues and then select the candidates who sign on to the issues that have been voted for.
selecting candidates who support the issues voted for=democracy.
Fixed times to vote for candidates does not equate to the need to address issues when they arise. Reforming the government will never occur unless we realize it is an everyday process and issues must be addressed when they occur.
Does anyone realize this is the computer age and we have "elections" every day? We could have 350 million legislators and presidents and courts that only carry out what issues they have been told by voters they should carry out.
I don't want to sound down on democracy, actually. I just don't think we live in one. And I don't even really we should vote for a president, but select an administrator that can be recalled whenever he turns his administrative function into an executive role.
oh well. my political wisdom is limited to small communities and "primitive" cultures, so no need to take me seriously. no one ever has.
I've voted for President since 1976 (Jimmy Carter) and normally get something from watching the debates. This year, though, the candidates would both lose voters if they debated, so I doubt either one will go through with it. I think Mango Mussolini would definitely bail on his current posturing of wanting one if 46 would ever agree, which he won't because he's not going to want to have to answer questions about his unwavering support for genocide.

'Tis a sorry State of affairs, both domestically and internationally.

Next time I'll read the subtitle -- and do my best to remember it.
