      Seriously.

      Stop bending over for the opposition. Democrats for the past 25 years kept compromising while Republicans got what they want and then moved the line.

        Compromising for 25 years? Someone doesn’t remember Clinton, the original compromiser. Or Reagan Democrats.

        They compromise because Dems need all three of presidency, house of representatives, and Senate to pass anything. They’ve had that for, drumroll please, 4 of the last 24 years. That’s 2 years under Obama and 2 years under Biden. Or if you want to go back further, 6 of the last 44 fucking years. And you wonder why they are forced to compromise?

      Naw. Use a cardboard cutout, and have recorded statements of his that then she can play according to a little prearranged sounding board. Play some of his greatest hits, like grab ‘em by the pussy. Play back some of his Biden debate answers and go into depth as to why they are false. Play a little montage of things he was saying about how COVID’s not that big a deal.

      You can set it up a HELL of a lot better than just her giving a speech and focusing on an empty lectern. You can still have an exchange between the two of them without needing him to be there. And then, have her finish it up by saying hey Donald there was a lot of stuff I didn’t get to. We’re gonna do this again in two weeks; if you want to be here we can do a debate, and if not, no biggie, I’ll just pick up where I left off. Let us know and all the best.

      Oh, and then at the very end play back him saying any time, any place, and just sort of shrug and look around confused, like you’re searching for him somewhere on the debate stage. And then say all right then, see you in two weeks I guess, maybe, and then wave to the crowd and say all of y’all have a good night.

      A British politician once failed to show up for a panel show and they replaced him with a literal tub of lard. For the whole thirty minutes.

      It seems fitting for Trump.

      No, if he shows up at the last minute, and complies with the pre-negotiated terms, they should let him in. If he shows up at the last minute and complains about he fact-checkers or the moderators or the lack of couches, to try to renegotiate things at the last minute, they should just tell him to pound sand.

    And Fox will give Trump equal amount during the same time slot, thus completely defeating the entire purpose of a debate.

    I think there needs to he three televised debates between presidential candidates, by law. Two for VP. All on PBS, C-SPAN, Twitch, YouTube and whichever network decides to participate.

    More information, by law, or you don’t get to play.

      It doesn’t matter if he gets equal time on fox. The people that will watch that are going to anyway, and the people that won’t, won’t. He doesn’t have anything new to say and no one is wondering what his policies are. The only people that matter are the ones who are on the fence with Harris. And more serious people will watch her on almost anything other than fox. Let him go on fox and reeeeee into that sycophant echo chamber all he wants.

        That is literally my point. The reason we want debates rather than “showcases” is so that the public can see candidates debate each other. Harris fans will watch her showcase and Trump fans will watch his with not change (unless you flop like Biden). Undecided voters will likely avoid both because why would you watch an infomercial with uncontested propaganda?
