You have to admit that it’s a bit silly to have VP candidates debate. We don’t vote for them individually. It’s a package deal. You vote for the top of the ticket.
Should we care who they are? Of course. Will we learn anything we didn’t already know from a debate? No.
Modern politics is way too intertwined with the entertainment media complex.
I realize it’s nationally broadcast, but that doesn’t have the same meaning as it used to. There was a time when it was the only thing on. #USPOL
