Is anyone really on the fence about who they are going to vote for? Honestly why waste money on campaigning at this point, there is a very clear divide that won’t be persuaded by adds/debates/rallies

Probably some suburban whites in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Michigan. Believe it or not, most of the country doesn’t follow politics religiously like people on this bowl and will probably just make a judgement call on Election Day if they bother to show up to vote

This is the right answer. Campaigning isn’t just about getting your supporters to the polls. It also about demoralizing the supporters of the other guy.

They shouldn’t do the debates, if only to royally screw the cable networks who turned it into infotainment gotcha questions instead of deep policy debates.

Would get a lot of joy out of seeing Fox and MSNBC have to scale back programming and take a hit.

No one wants to nix the tradition. I’m alone in not wanting to waste our time. The campaigns are going to agree to a lame format and the networks will host it.

Campaigns should get no say in the format. It should be three hours long, no commercials, and require each candidate to give ten minute answers on weighty topics.

Yes. I'm on fence between the libertarian candidate and trump. Haven't decided.

Live in San Francisco, so it won't matter.

Don’t assume all people think the same. I think there are still a long race, Biden needs to be on stage to be challenged to see if he’s a fit, physically and mentally for high pressure job; and Trump also needs to show the public how he would deliver in the next four years if he wins.

If you think this bowl is representative of the country you are wrong. Commenters here normally follow politics because they have a passion for one ideology or the other. You are right that these people will not change their minds...

Most citizens, though, are happier people then us and do not follow politics. These folks will decide either while watching the debates or doing a couple quick reads in the days preceding Election Day.

There is a lot of golf left to be played. There has not been a single debate. There has not been a lot of campaigning due to COVID fears. A lot can and will happen in the next 40 days, and it will be interesting.

Just here to say I’m so thankful we have this safe space. People who aren’t diagnosed generally have misconceptions about ADHD and its symptoms, and I’m so grateful we have this bowl to seek help, learn from one another, and sometimes just vent! With all the negativity in the world, this bowl is that one ray of sunshine I so desperately need, so thank you everyone for what you have done and what you’ll continue to do!

Not having to think or talk about Trump alone is worth voting for Biden. Remember there used to be a time where the entire world wasn't focused on a single human being? It was nice. I liked it

If you miss the ‘Golden Age’ of television, I highly recommend tuning into Sean, Laura, and Tucker on FOX. An argument can be made that they are the Sopranos, The Wire, and Breaking Bad of their format. Unlike those works of fiction however, these shows and their respective hosts provide insight into our real world in a way no screenwriter ever could.
