Yes, my concern is the amount of questions that he won't get on air time.
You can see how some was favored.
Elections have consequences
Well its not very plausible that he could win so its about using that time to push his issues which he should have enough time to do
But as we see time and again, apparently *rigging* elections does not have consequences.
Supreme Court rules racists in white house can't add racist question to census, but gave them an out to try to reform their argument for adding it. It should mean that it's at least not an issue unless orange a****** wins again.
Reading Yang's website, his stance echoes most of mine, but he also has a lot of vague stances that are just comments. I'll be watching him tonight and I hope me makes a splash like Castro did so he can get more exposure and give us more specifics. His most specific policy is universal basic income.
I feel like none of this process is a sane Process of Elimination. I was joking with the Mortal Kombat gif, but in a way, I wish there could be more of a tournament quality to it. Now it would be to time consuming to do that with the debates I guess, but I wish our voting system could reflect it. Some people would like to see Ranked Choice or some kind of Score system that is kind of like Instant Runoff.
The debates kind of reflect how horrible this system is and made worse by nearly treating it like a game show.
I often wish the candidates themselves could take turns as the Moderator in a different format being able to directly challenge and question the others. EDIT: sort of like a debate King of the Hill
I wish every candidate would just do the Joe Rogan podcast or a similar format with free flowing dialogue and no breaks to promote a network. So far, Andrew Yang and Tulsi Gabbard have done Rogan's show.

The replies
That can't be a real profile, can it?
The one other picture he has of himself in his profile is too classic.
Warren might be the only one I wouldn't pair her with but she should be on the ticket. She has been the best and I think she will consistently be this good at future debates.
Harris is doing a very good job tonight and so is Mayor Pete, these moderators aren't being very good making sure the lesser known candidates are getting any time though, Yang has only had a couple of turns to speak and Williamson when over 45 minutes without getting anything directed towards her.
Yeah, I've said the whole time that Harris is the one who I think would be the best in a debate, especially against Trump. Mayor Pete has been what people thought they might get from Beto.
Harris was the best by the long shot. Best of both nights. Mayor Pete did well. Biden didn't really screw up much so that is a win for him.
Yang was invisible
Don't let Marianne Williamson within 100 miles of the next debate.

I know the name is difficult, but you misspelled Gillibrand. (She wasn't as bad but damn she was annoying).
Gillibrand tried to make a splash and failed. Marianne is just a complete kook.
TIL of Marianne Willliamson. You know the field is beyond bloated when night two of debates you're still learning of new people in the field.
Omg, mintues spoken so far?
I knew this was going to happen.
I'm really not expecting Biden to win. His best days seem behind him. Bernie is older and look at how much more energy he has.
Yang needs to be more forceful and interrupt when he can, the rest of them are doing it and he's one of the least known so he can't afford to be invisible on stage.
