Some ideas for the next debate:

  • first/main post as a wiki with informational links to live blogs, preview articles, a streaming YouTube embed, and…??? Maybe a section for a round up of post-debate “analysis” / takeaway type of articles?
  • second post also a wiki with the debate topics and as things go along we can collectively fill it in with a list of key statements/quotes, fact checks or whatever. Might need a captain to run this so it’s organized.
  • free form chat/commenting below like tonight.

I envision the second post w/ the topics relying a lot on linking to the conversation happening in the thread below — almost like a curated list of cherry picked comments, tweets, videos etc.

Any other ideas? I don’t want to be prescriptive, but I think there’s a lot of archival value if we toss a little bit of organization at this :call_me_hand:

I read save the top two posts make the 2nd a wiki. Yeah? :call_me_hand:

I think so? Or maybe it’s all just combined in the main post, kind of like how your Russia timelines used the first post as the ToC

Having the 2nd be a wiki could be useful on most threads. Good format.

Can anyone tell me WHY don’t they just cut off the microphones when their 2 minutes are up in a debate? Why on earth does any moderator tolerate this verbal diarrhea from trump?

No idea but it sure feels like these debates are optimized for spectacle than discourse
