i find this a bizarre, kind of gross invocation of Eugene Debs.

debates only for elections that don’t really matter, crest vs colgate? we are responsible for saving ourselves by conceding we face no real choice, shldn’t legitimize bad choices with a debate?

Debs ran for President from jail. Convicted felon, “opposed to the form of our present govt…opposed to the social system in which we live…I believe in the change of both but by perfectly peaceable + orderly means.”
