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). -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
