Debates might just be the dumbest possible way to pick a president
You& #39;re not going to learn anything new
It& #39;s not going to change anybody& #39;s mind
You already know who the winner is (Surprise! It& #39;s your guy, no matter what)
It& #39;s just show
Shit, at least make them mud wrestle

It& #39;s not even an actual debate. It& #39;s just a couple of politicians shouting pre-arranged sound bites at the audience and trying to one up each other so their campaigns can crank out clever tweets the next day.

There& #39;s not one single skill on display at a political debate that will EVER be used in office. Not one. The winner isn& #39;t going to go on to debate Kim Jong Un or the Ayatollahs or Vladimir Putin for nuclear supremacy of the world.

Debates are just entertainment. Theater. A show for a bored, jaded, and bitterly cynical population who loves to slow down and boggle at every car wreck. The more blood and gore, the better.

I mean, seriously, if it wasn& #39;t for the accidents, nobody would watch NASCAR. Bunch of rednecks, weaving drunkenly, in banged up shitty cars, driving in a circle. Big fucking deal, I can see that every day for free in my crappy little Southern town.

Political debates are the same thing, you& #39;re only watching for the accidents. Otherwise, what& #39;s the point?
Like I said, shit, at least make them jello wrestle or a drinking contest or SOMETHING worth an hour of my time.

Or, you know, put them in actual race cars. Arm them up like a Death Race 2000 thing. Yeah, start in LA, no rules, first one to DC is president.
Hell, you can throw in the Ayatollahs and Putin too. See who& #39;s got the skills.
THAT would be worth watching.
