Boycott the Debate

This will be short and sweet.

There is no reason to boost the TV ratings of NBC for an event that will add nothing to the political discourse in this country.

You wanna watch reality TV shows, there are much better ones available.

These debates do not include Jill Stein and/or Gary Johnson so what value do they offer us? It's just free publicity for two very loathsome candidates who would rather attack one another then offer any real solutions to our world's very serious problems.

This debate and the ones to come are frankly just another part of the scam to give the appearance we live in a democracy and not an oligarchic tyranny.

Don't fall for the con.

Do something better with your time tonight.

That is all.

When I'm writing an open thread, preview it and then save it I get an empty message. And it's hours before the thing's supposed to be published!

Anyway...the debate will go on, whether we watch it or not (I won't) and there'll be lots of summaries after the fact.

It reminds me of a sports event where you kind of are curious about the outcome but don't mind having something else to do while it's occurring .

It's been years since I've had a tv or listened to radio news. I have never heard Trump speak for instance - Obama either since I think about it - so I'll not be adding to some networks bottom line.

I've lived most of my life without a tv - for a long time I lived in areas of the SW where no tv signals reached - and you don't miss what you're not used to having.

I'm glad you mentioned 20 mule team Borax! It has plenty of good uses.

Since the B-6 nucleus is an excellent neutron absorber, we used lots of it at the accelerator lab when doing (d,n) proton transfer reactions, which set loose munificent amounts of neutrons during the experiments, most which were absorbed by the boxes of Borax.

My very bright wife {E} had the brilliant idea of washing my underwear in lots of borax during our (d,n) runs, since high-energy (10+ MeV) neutrons can do unpleasant radiation damage to a gentleman's privates if not absorbed.

Neutrons can be ionizing -- ie they're bad for your DNA.
Boron compounds are good neutron absorbers, as are lead bricks.

When we ran out of lead, we filled up the gaps with borax boxes.
The joke was washing one's underwear in a highly concentrated borax solution could keep the "family jewels" safe from radiation.

Instead of polling percentage as a qualifier, I think it should be whether the candidate appears on enough ballots across the country to actually win the electoral votes required for victory. That will never happen under our current two party system.

As for Trump and Clinton, I would be more interested in seeing them kept in separate locations and answering the SAME questions. Then I would like them to see the other one's response in order to deliver a rebuttal. Now that would be interesting.

my eyeballs will start to melt down my face, so I'm not watching either.

Amy Goodman is hosting an expanded debate on Democracy Now! like she did in 2012, with the two third-party candidates added in to the debate feed, and able to answer the questions as well. I want to give her some kudos for that but don't want to watch, as stated above. I fear my eyeballs will start to melt and I will bleed from the ears.

So my partner came up with a great solution: put Democracy Now! up on your computer and walk away from it. Goodman gets whatever good numbers come from lots of people watching her livestream, and my face remains intact.

Having watched the entire run of Full Frontal so far they have been balanced in their criticism of both Clinton & Sanders during the primary.

Totally tasteless (as all the "Little Johnny Jokes" tend to be) but since we will probably be imbibing even more tasteless things in just a bit think of this as an inoculation. Wink

I like the way you think:

Little Johnny was sitting in class doing math problems when his teacher picked him to answer a question, "Johnny, if there were five birds sitting on a fence and you shot one with your gun, how many would be left?" "

None," replied Johnny, "cause the rest would fly away."

"Well, the answer is four," said the teacher, "but I like the way you think."

Little Johnny says, "I have a question for you. If there were three women eating ice cream cones in a shop, one was licking her cone, the second was biting her cone and the third was sucking her cone, which one is married?"

"Well," said the teacher nervously, "I guess the one sucking the cone."

"No," said Little Johnny, "the one with the wedding ring on her finger, but I like the way you think."

Her Heinious only wanted Billy and the folks at CGF to know where she'd be traveling, so they could sync their trips, get money from people she'd be meeting for the CGF, or else, she wouldn't meet them.

My favorite might still be the $16,000,000. Billy got over 3 1/2 years from the Laureate For Profit School, founded by his friend, who Her Heinious had Joe Duffy ( he of their board too, and ex head of USIA during Clinton administration) speak at State with them. Billy did zilch, but then, $16 million isn't really money to them anymore.

Can't stand her voice, so won't watch, not even on mute, tho I am, full confession, curious to see what kind of schmata long coat with potholder pockets she's gonna be wearing behind her special made podium so she doesn't look like as much of a toadstool as she usually does.

Another big fall for Clinton. If Johnson wasn't in the race Trump would be in like Flynn. And, of course, the Electoral College pretty much has devalued most votes. If you are a Clinton supporter and live on the West Coast you don't really have a say in the matter. Places like Florida, Ohio will decide. If Colorado flips it's over. Maybe it wasn't her turn.

When I hear either of them talk I feel the need to take a shower. Hell, I'd rather watch the Falcons-Saints game. Or maybe I'll open a bottle of scotch and drink in the dark.

But does anyone think that we won't get the wars the ruling elite wants? Clinton is on top of the agenda, has probably written much of it. Trump will get to hold the royal scepter and the MIC will get their wars.

of Hofstra University in Hempstead, New York, the site of tonights debate. When the debate starts at 9 p.m., Stein's campaign says she will "participate live in the debate on social media". So, I think, whoever can, should support her protest in real space. May be even be so courageous and occupy the debate. Ooops, did I say occupy?

I don't know, if not watching the debate, is even recognized as a boycott. I understand your emotions, but I think it's like not voting out of protest. Nobody gives a damn if you not vote. There are others who do, and you can't do anything against it. It has no effect on the outcome. One of the two will be elected. Did you see that google today has an image asking to register to vote? Really.

Sorry Steven, I watch it online, when, I don't know yet. Can't run away from it, just because it's being a vain happening. Want to make my own judgment and not wait for the "social media" to tell me.

So, I urge you to go to protest outside the debate facility, en mass. That's the only thing that would make some sense to me.
