Why can't they fix it so during a debate if a candidate doesn't stop talking 10 seconds after being warned they just turn their mic off. It's just ridiculous already. They can make it part of the rules you must agree to if you want to debate.
Trump would have a fit but his last debate was a fucking shit show. I mean it's not really a debate if one party refuses to abide by the rules of conduct for a debate. Don't bother having debates if you can't control them.
And what is this shit where you can use the time you are allotted to talk about a previous question instead of the current issue at hand. If you really had to abide by the rules you wouldn't waste your time like that because you couldn't make it up by stealing more time. You would stay on point. That's what makes debating an art, a challenge, that's what makes a good debater. Not just steal time and have your say no matter what. Practice being more concise and live with your choices.
Instead it's about who's a big thug, who doesn't care about equality and fairness, who is completely without a sense of fair play, who is a shameless, arrogant, mansplainer, that's who gets to have more time to make their case. But I guess if those are the kinds of qualities people want in a leader then the choice is clear. Hopefully they prefer someone who understands how to play by the rules, shows a sense of fairness in their interactions with others, and in the case of Biden vs Trump can speak in complete sentences.
I guess I just needed to rant.
