It's OK. Real-time election debates already outlived their usefulness.

It's a multi media world. Explain and support your policy proposals with bullet points, charts, and graphs, animate them if you really have to, cite and link to your data sources. That's how thoughtful presentation of public policy ideas should be done these days.

Fine by me.

The not fair card is wearing thin. Get the specific objections and remedies out there and do something about it.

No, do not play the game, if the game is rigged.

The empty chair bit can be done by whoever wishes to hold a debate.

Walking away is not going to de-rig it nor convince most that it was truly rigged.

If you study history, most governments similar to ours do not last over 300 years. Walking away is one of the first steps to ultimate division and walking away is what is done, when one or more major factions think the game is rigged.
