End These Damn Presidential Debates

I've been reading countless articles today criticizing the media who hold these debates. I say the hell with all of these ungrateful bastards and all the networks who profit from them. Nobody is handcuffing and dragging any of them into these debates. If they don't appreciate them don't do them. It's just that simple!

Who the hell cares?
90% of the time spent by the candidates was complaining about moderators instead of speaking specifically what they would do regarding issues. So what's the point if the voting public gets nothing from them?

What I'd rather is candidates load videos to social media describing specifically what they'd do if elected. Hardly anybody gives a damn about these clown shows. In case these candidates haven't heard, social media is the way to go. Blowing smoke on TV is soooo yesterday.

The days of doing politics in a bubble ended years ago. If candidates want to engage today's voters the way they did years ago (before the internet) don't be surprised why so few of today's voters turn out in support. A huge part of Obama's success was because he used the internet to supplement his campaign.

Screw these elite journalists. People want to communicate directly. The internet now makes this possible. I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels left out when these candidates are only speaking with those who are employed by huge corporations who supposedly speak on our behalf. Candidates can spend million$ on exhaustive travel and campaign rallies, but they will never reach near as many as they can simply by communicating via social media.

Frankly I'm disgusted and tired with each and everyone of them who are unwilling to engage with the everyday citizen one on one via this new medium. As far as I'm concerned this dog and pony show on TV is pure bullshit and has gone on long enough. Any candidate who isn't willing to engage directly doesn't deserve consideration. WAKE UP AND SMELL THE COFFEE!
