It's not like any of them can "win" the debate. These stopped being actual debates back when Kennedy showed up on color TV. A Republican hasn't made a salient point in front of a camera since McCain gave Congress his thumbs down and prevented them from nuking Obamacare. There used to be points and scoring but modern times it all comes down to who looks best in whatever 1.2 seconds of video trends best on tik tok.
You need a PhD in particle physics to crack the next level of Mario64 speed run, and that's after you've mastered carpetless.
I know nothing of this world, but the energy in the community is infectious.

After they were actually American, they resorted to "What it was called by the people who lived here first, but pronounced wrong"
A gravid clown, a grave situation.
This post is like drinking a French Malbec after it's been used to deglaze a burnt pan, I love it.
everything I said is fact. It occurs to me in retrospect that the person I'm responding to doesn't realize that primaries are essentially a private function. If you make your own political party, you can have primaries every day!
Everyone knows both world wars were won by a single anthropomorphic 1911 pistol.
tl;dr: be the highest bidder.
That's just not how it works. If New Hampshire decides to put Steamboat Willy on the ballot, only the SC could stop them, maybe. it's kind of up in the air right now apparently.
Realistically, no one wants to give up that sweet national committee money, so they'll probably cave, and it is the rich owning democracy. That's why I kept saying you'd have to light money on fire to get it done, but it could theoretically be done: you just have to grease a lot of wheels.
Just so we're on the same page, each state decides how it chooses candidates to put on the ballot. That's the whole thing going on with DT and the SC right now.
Derived from that power is the president primary, where parties from each state decide who to present as their candidate.
The Democratic National Committee says "Ok, everyone should just submit Biden as the candidate and skip the primary" because that's what they decided is best.
It's now up to the state parties to implement that decision or not. New Hampshire, for example, decided to hold a primary anyway:
But it's politics, so who knows if it'll actually happen. I just want to point out that the national committee doesn't have power over what the states get to do, it's all just a power brokering game.
Have you tried rampant, unchecked capitalism? You can get a lot of money for both those things in the right circles.
