"A Presidential Debate That Matters" - Green Party Grapple in SF
In case you missed it, the Green party held an "event" that organizers dubbed "A Presidential Debate That Matters" last Sunday (January 13) at the Herbst Theatre in San Francisco. My guess is that in fact you did miss the debate, and don't much care. After all the current political season has had so many debates that tracking one more is above and beyond.
Public encounters seem to have become the manifestation of elections and by inference what it means to be a democracy. That is, candidates must collectively stand before the public and genuflect in apparent deference. It is increasingly unthinkable to bypass debates as part of the audition. The Green debate can be seen as part of the expected pageantry or at least a faint imitation of what is working to draw attention.
