He's just didn't have the assertive presence there required to be a strong moderator.

Well, what's worse

it was actually admitted in the session

I don't think the moderation was the issue

that Candace got to PICK who she debated.

Well, it was part of it, but I didn't know about that.

I enjoyed the Ben/Peterson debate

So she intentionally picked Blair.

Mmmhmm

a lot of it actually centered around religion

I think I watched that... it wasn't that much of a debate, was it?

Although, I did expect them at one point to both look at Dave and go 'shut up!' before going back to arguing with each other.

it didn't feel like a debate because I'm use to tempers flaring in debates nowadays

IBS.

Jordan and Weinstein? They agreed alot to have a debate.

but it was a debate in that Peterson & Ben have very different philosophical outlooks

Talking about Shapiro and Peterson.

It just didnt feel like one.

they just show each other some respect

like you're suppose to lol

I mean, I guess...

you know

Then again, Ive had low standards for what makes a debate. Most Ive seen usually end up with either 2 people yelling at each other, or one talking to a brick wall.

those aren't what debates are suppose to be

lol

I think debate's the wrong word

Thats what they call debates these days

just what our political discourse has devolved into

When it comes to Peterson and Shapiro

or Peterson and Brett even

I think the term is Dialectic.

Like the recent Nick 'The Knife' Fuentes vs Mike Tokes the other night? That was hard to watch.

Not everyone Rubin invites on is nice to listen to

Oh, I was talking about a Baked Alaska IBS stream.

I generally don't listen to Baked.

I don't either, but I showed up for the 'debate', if you could call it that.

I believe the term is 'Dumpsterfire'?

Tokes continually resorted to putting words in Fuentes' mouth and taking him out of context, rather than bringing forth arguments of his own.

No joke, he legit even brought up the 'what is white, even?' argument. lol

I mean... I DO understand the 'what is white' arguement thingy, I get what they're going at with it, it's just worded poorly.

man
