What if politicians actually had to answer questions?

What if politicians were required to answer questions during a debate instead of just dancing around the question?! Here's my take!

Finally. People are starting to understand that the progression of a country matters more than being a butthurt far right or far left. Instead of choosing between the two we should choose to be far forwards

Genuinely would make the world better, it would also remove the stereotype of politicians always lying and they would also have more respect

[dippindotdave]

Or give them 2 buttons. A yes button and a no button. No words needed

[CoolmanSSC]

Bro imagine if they did this and they asked why would you be a better president then the other candidate and they couldn’t answer 🤣💀

Let’s start by requiring moderators to not be biased. This last debate was absolutely ridiculous. The moderators did not fact check Kamala once. They let her get away with blatant lies. They unmutated her mic so she could interrupt Trump. It was seriously ridiculous.

As for Trump and the federal abortion ban he already said he doesn’t support it. Kamala Harris said she supports that protections of Roe v. Wade. so yes, that does answer the question. She does support abortion in the ninth month that does fall under that category.

THIS IS LITERALLY WHAT I WAS SAYING WHILE WATCHING IT

[Joemomshome]

There should be a fox and NBC person asking the questions

Unfortunately, that would lead to debates lasting weeks. Both candidates would yap for hours on every detail of even the most basic question.

God damn I thought I was the only one with sense like this you sir are making great content I am an instant sub of yours as of this video also first I've seen from you

[elenaadrianacirjan]

If only it would be that easy... then maybe some sh*t would get done in this world

[WolftrackOutdoors-rfud]

Love this idea...I don't care what side of the aisle the politician is on, hold them accountable. Problem is, we don't want accountability in our society...at least, not for "our side."

As I tell my college students, "I'm fine with uncomfortable silences...are you?"

...and I wait.

[seanabbott]

Agreed, I'll answer your questions in order. No, and no.

[vtaijeron]

They should both be given a survey with the only option to select “yes” or “no”. Then we ask them to explain the reason for their answers during the debate.

[kalemulnix]

The ‘moderators’ should be required to fact check BOTH sides or neither.

[vannersp]

Trump already answered your hypothetical: no, it's up to each state.

OTOH, Kamala will filibuster to the end of the debate.

[webxd]

Thanks for keeping it neutral most people don’t do that

[leolistwon]

They would just start arguing with each other though

[isaiaheaves]

All debates need better moderators there is a huge lack of quality moderators

[guillermojuarez]

We would never move from a question towards trump lol

[MichaelKick]

It would also be golden if the moderators would not be sorority sisters with one of the candidates
