    For real, they need to schedule it earlier in the day before his adderall wears off and he turns into a wall-eyed stammering zombie

      We need to go back how it was before it was televised…

      Now you can just ramble for 90 seconds, and everyone moves on.

      Back in the day there was no time limit. Moderators asked a question, and just kept asking it till the candidate answered or admitted they had no clue how to answer. The debate might take an hour. It might take 12.

      It’s crazy we’re still letting the limitations of broadcast television take precedence.

          Shit man, we have CSPAN for a reason, but yeah…

          Without ads there’s no reason not to let literally anyone that wants to run the stream. Especially if they went far enough to require it be a complete Livestream without anyone talking over it.

        Does the effective time change for people without ADHD? If I do an IR 3 hours before bed the crash anxiety will keep me up for a couple hours (witout medication to assist with sleep.)

        True, but he still needs to relax and unwind by making all caps posts on Truth for 3 hours. Probably upends his morning routine of rolling out of bed at 10AM for a noon tee time
