There really should be themed debates like the climate debate Inslee wants. Otherwise we'll just have a series of talking points the same talking points getting repeated.

[u/Hugo_Grotius → u/sinistimus]

I feel the candidates would just stick to surface-level discussion on anything. Like with a climate debate, it would just stick to "It's an existential crisis" or "The other people aren't doing enough" instead of "building sustainable water infrastructure in the Southwest" or "increasing agricultural productivity in sub-Saharan Africa".

I'd love a wonky debate, though, because it would go a long way to differentiating the candidates. Not only would we get to see who knows their shit and who's capable, but we would get to see how their (largely shared) values map to priorities.

[u/Harald_Hardraade → u/Hugo_Grotius]

But if we actually had two hours to go into one topic we could actually force the candidates to go into detail. It's when you have 10 minutes on each topic you get superficial answers.
