1. Yeah, Autocrats don't need no stinkin' debates!

Just a convention like a giant fan rally to crown the King.

[mindem]

2. Why debate

when you can buy tons of air time with crooked money and endlessly lie to the masses.

[Emile]

3. Fascists have no need to debate. They rig elections!

[doc03]

4. How can you debate when your only issue is kissing Slobfather's ass nt

[Bettie]

5. And your only values are...

well, they have no values. Plus, none of them want to have to answer questions about their utopian vision of The Handmaids Tale come to life.

[IronLionZion]

6. Don't want to answer the difficult questions

[zuul]

7. They have no agenda, except to hang onto power, so why would they want to debate?

Debates might accidently let loose some inconveninet truths about the pube party. Why would they allow that?

[spanone]

8. You can't let the public know that for their vote, you offer them nothing. nada. zip. zero.

Just undying fealty to the man who tried to overthrow a lawful elections.

9. GOPers are cowards and intellectual lightweights who can't win a debate about policy.
