In reply to the discussion: News organizations press Biden and Trump to commit to debates [View all]JohnSJ
(92,595 posts)31. Fuck the so-called "news media". The only thing they want is to create a carnival

The moderators of these debates have demonstrated they cannot control Trump to abide by any rules, and in fact will let him get away with anything. In addition, allowing an audience into these debates will only contribute to the circus atmosphere, with cheering and booing resembling a circus atmosphere.

Why give someone who tried to overthrow the U.S. government a platform, will only legitimize his lies.

Biden should debate. a) He's excellent, and b) He has a good record to run on.

I'd like to see a "debate." I would like to see Biden wipe the floor with Trump. I would like to see Trump humiliated.

Voting for Biden even if he stays in his "basement for next 8 months." But, think he has to debate if trump shows up.

No Debate(s) needed. The ACTIONS of President Biden and The Rapist speak for themselves.
