Some of us turned ourselves inside out to try to warn elected Dems about this and got blown off and called names like "Blue Anon" by Very Important People for our pains. And this is what you reap when you sow hubris.

I think the senior people haven't updated their decades-old priors (which were probably never that good anyway) and the junior and middle ranks are loaded with bright policy people who loved debate club in HS/college and think there's actually a referee and rules and voters care about micro details.

In 2016 maybe one could argue that they had no reason to believe that decorum in politics would change that drastically, but damn that was EIGHT LONG ASS YEARS AGO

I find the response "he wasn't trying to do it" the most annoying. If I dive off a cliff but have never heard of cliff diving...

The fact that Biden was prepped to lose his first reelection debate the exact same way that Obama, Bush, Clinton and Reagan did theirs is a hell of an indictment of his team.

what i found so frustrating was that they actually kept reiterating like, smaller versions of the questions before the response so it would be almost impossible to address his off topic replies without sounding like you’re avoiding the question.

Never ever debate a Nazi. No point. They don't actually believe in the process. They dont argue in good faith. All it does is platform a diatribe of lies. Which is the opposite of why debates exist. Its not healthy for a democracy. It just becomes another norm and institution to be destroyed.
