I think that is rather mistaken. The most logical method is to simply re-use 
the questions from the Trump/Harris debate, they publish the transcripts on 
PBS, NPR, and other websites within twelve hours of the debate's completion. I 
imagine rebuttals to that argument would be to lean into topics specific to the 
social movements but I feel both time and efficacy limit such pie-in-the-sky 
suggestions. Instead, it is the task of the candidates to be articulating those 
points and perspectives (aka making them do their own homework). What exactly 
does it say about a self-described socialist/communist who can't even frame 
their response to articulate their own platform planks?
Furthermore, I think it is important to remember that the third party movement 
here needs to "preach to the congregation rather than the choir." There's polls 
coming out showing Gaza is making a serious impact not just on radical voters 
but also Arabic/Muslim voters. Outreach to new third party voters is a very 
difficult issue (I speak from experience with the Greens).
