I’ve been saying this for most of my adult life — I don’t know why we put so much weight during political campaigns on candidate debates. I was a competitive debater when I was young, & altho I value those skills, they don’t overlap with the knowledge and skills I want in good leaders and governors.

Frankly, I think running for an elected position should require candidates to take the citizenship exam required for ppl seeking to become citizens Two tries per election cycle, you fail & you can't run
Want to renew your drivers license? Retake the driver exam
Want to own a firearm? Show that you can handle it in a safe & responsible way + keeping it secure from your kids
Too many citizens in the US have ZERO fucking clue how any of our gov works & I think it's a big part of how we got in this mess in the 1st place
Being able to vote themselves pay raises is lunacy, they need to face the reality of what their constituents live off of
It's why those dipshits seem so out of touch because they ARE
Governing isn't for clowns.
The polarized "own the libs" stuff & everyone who's not a Marxist is a Nazi stuff is infantile. It's frustrating that Harper & Poilievre canceled Chretien's Danish-style political funding.
Those so-called debates always feel contrived, well-practiced, and with mostly canned answers.
