All they did was talk. You’re the one who often say of politicians “don’t listen to what they say, look at what they do.” Yet here you are advocating for politicians to just talk a lot.
It’s the 21st century. I want to see multimedia presentations with rich data visualizations, completely with proper citations to sources to allow easy verification and evaluation by third parties.

You all really should think about going into the future rather than returning to the past.

"Reportedly the moderators can only be from CBS News, ABC News, CNN, or Telemundo. "

Nahh. Assuming at least one doesn't miss, we get one or both new candidates.

No audience. I agree that having debates after people have started voting is wrong.

Agree. I also think that there should be a "mute" button. Once your time is up speaking, you cannot talk.

June 27th on CNN.
Biden’s team has requested that only broadcast networks that hosted Republican primary debates in 2016 and Democratic primary debates in 2020 be eligible to host the first debate. Only four networks — CNN, ABC News, Telemundo and CBS News — hosted debates for both parties during those cycles.
Biden proposed that the moderator should be selected by the broadcast host from its “regular personnel,” with firm time limits for answers, equal speaking time, alternative turns to speak and microphones that are active only during each candidate’s turn. The first debate would take place after the June 15 conclusion of the Group of Seven summit in Italy and the conclusion of Trump’s criminal trial in New York. The September debate would take place before the start of early voting.

Uh huh. DNC is 8/19-8/22. RNC is 7/15-7/18.

Yeah, that’s a big fat no. No debates until both presumptive nominees ARE the nominees. There’s a process for a reason. And the GOP are idiots to agree to a debate with a candidate that might not be the nominee anymore in August. And the debate might even be the decisive factor in the DNC making that change.

You want a debate or competing presentations?

By the way, thinking about this topic, this is probably the first time ever that the VP debate is at least as important as the presidential debate.

From The Bee:
Details were still being ironed out, but it was confirmed yesterday that the world could now look forward to another debate between Donald Trump and Joe Biden. While Biden's list of conditions to agree to the debate made the rounds on social media, Trump's list of demands was not made public… until now.
The Babylon Bee has obtained the following list of Donald Trump's debate demands:
-
Benny Hill music must be played whenever Biden wanders around the stage: His aimless shuffling will be much more entertaining to the viewing audience set to "Yakety Sax."
-
Moderators have to be smoking hot: Not just attractive. They have to be hot. Smoking hot. At least a 9 or a 10. Or even better than 10, maybe. Debates are better with hot moderators. I can't look at a dog for 3 hours. That would be terrible.
-
Catering provided by McDonald's: Big Macs and Diet Cokes during every commercial break.
-
Lightning round: Featuring a wheel to be spun for prizes, including Trump Steaks, Trump sneakers, and Trump NFTs.
-
Sad trombone riff plays following every Biden answer: Wah-wah-wahhhhh!
-
Whenever Trump drops a savage diss, sunglasses lower from the ceiling and the words "Thug Life" appear onscreen: Don't worry, Biden won't even know it's happening.
-
The loser gets slimed: It's time to bring the genius of Nickelodeon to presidential debates.
When reached for comment, the White House would neither confirm nor deny that Biden had agreed to Trump's demands.
