  47.  @TheMisfitPond  Regarding, "I don’t like the fact that they frame the questions horribly" Good. You shouldn't. But don't underestimate how important and how bad this is. The corporate media is doing everything they can to use right wing talking points to frame every issue. They also do shit like trying to pit people against one another rather than trying to educate viewers on their positions. Regarding, "give so much time to a bunch of candidates nobody cares about." I'm actually of the principled belief that all candidates should be given similar amounts of time assuming they have earned their right to be at the debate. I'm also for having lots of voices being given the right to talk, especially when we are still this far out. I'm actually pissed that Mike Gravel was not allowed to debate and I'm pissed that 3rd party candidates are not allowed to debate during the general. Or political system is better and better served by allowing more inclusion. Regarding, "But considering the circumstances, Bernie did an excellent job at being substantive and quippy with his answers." Considering the fact that the format is god awful Bernie did fucking great and I'm very, very, very happy about it. It would just be nice if he didn't have to take loaded questions and if he were allowed to speak for longer on incredibly important topics.... and for others as well. Just because he did great doesn't mean the format is better than it is. Regarding, "politics also requires you to fire back in gimmicky ways if you want to reach more people." But it shouldn't be specifically designed to make this more important than the substance. How many times do the moderators cut people off when they have things they want to say? Let them speak for fucks sake. But take that time in account. If someone wants to run over the time let them but then skip the next question that might have gone to them and even out the time in that way.
