Sri Lanka 🇱🇰 Needs Presidential Debates: Lessons from the US

⭕ Last night's presidential debate between Joe Biden and Donald Trump for the 2024 US 🇺🇸Presidential election highlighted the importance of debates in presidential elections.

⭕ The debate confirmed concerns about Joe Biden's cognitive decline, which many had previously dismissed as opposition attacks. The unfiltered view shocked everybody in the US, and there are now serious discussions about potentially replacing Biden on the Democratic ticket.

⭕ In Sri Lanka 🇱🇰, we don't have presidential debates. Candidates hide behind marketing campaigns, media portrayals, and practiced speeches. Voters have to rely on these to decide who they're going to vote for. If we had debates, our 2015 and 2019 elections might have turned out differently

⭕ In this election cycle in Sri Lanka, despite their differences, each of the three main candidates has a non-zero chance of getting elected. A strong debate performance could be a game changer for any candidate.

If the public truly demands it, the candidates would have to debate. This time we may have a unique opportunity to start a culture of presidential debates, which would be a wonderful addition to Sri Lanka's democratic process.

@elonmusk When you unlearn everything you realize all the things are just man made concepts and when you learn "you" also a part of a concept, you escape the matrix.

@kanchana_wij පාපැදි භාවිතය ප්‍රචලිත කිරීමට, රජය මැදිහත් වී සහන මිලට පාපැදි ලබාදෙන වැඩසටහනක් දියත් කිරීමට සැලැස්මක් තිබෙනවද?

A picture worth a thousand words!

A protestor helping a riot policeman who was struggling with teargas that was fired by themselves at the protesters last evening in Fort, by pouring water into his eyes.

This is what makes #GoHomeGota protest special!

@zulfikar4273 @dananjaya_h @HarshadeSilvaMP Movement is already there. Better if we can put representatives to the parliament who listen the movement.

And for those who think the Yahapalanaya president was all sexy, note that Yoshitha was reinstated and promoted by President Sillysena so he could have a fancy naval wedding.

All those in parliament are deeply connected.

Really, they must ALL go.

පොලිසියේ අය අත්අඩංගුවට ගත්තම පොලිස් රෝහලේ.
හමුදාවේ අය අත්අඩංගුවට ගත්තම හමුදා රෝහල්වල.
දේශපාලඥයෝ අත්අඩංගුවට ගත්තම පුද්ගලික රෝහල්වල.
ඇති හැකි අය අත්අඩංගුවට ගත්තම බන්ධනාගාර රෝහලේ.
සාමාන්‍ය ජනතාව අත්අඩංගුවට ගත්තම බලු කූඩුවේ!

People are running errands to find octane 95 from one gas station to another with random people giving false information. None will take responsibilities for the damages caused to vehicles. Dear Minister @kanchana_wij please provide a straight answer here. Do we have it or not?
