@ThePeopleOrg And 76% of the American electorate prefers #OpenDebates compared to 17% who prefers #ClosedDebates. In a democracy, we'd have open debates.
It's time to #OpenTheDebates & #OpenThePoliticalSystem to #MoreVoicesBetterChoices!
More #DemocracyGap fun.
60% of registered voters say we need at least a 3rd major party: https://t.co/RLdis0EBgV
76% of voters want #OpenDebates compared to 17% who prefer #ClosedDebates: https://t.co/RDd1lECbRA
Two 3rd-party options are on enough ballots to win.
And yet...
One of the clearest barriers to getting what we want - something we call a "democracy gap" - is the duopoly's very own Commission on Presidential @Debates.
When 76% of the electorate wants #OpenDebates, compared to just 17% who prefer #ClosedDebates, we have a problem. 6/
Hey @debates cochairs, we would like to know why you have so much disdain for the 76% of US voters who want to #OpenTheDebates, & with an appearance of duopoly influence, side with the 17% who prefer #ClosedDebates.
Block off your calendars for 3PM ET this afternoon for a conversation @PressClubDC with all 3 co-chairs of the @debates - their first joint on-camera interview before the 2020 general election #PresidentialDebates - watch live here: https://t.co/LoFunZ0K5p
#Debates2020
And here's the reform we don't even need to change a single law for: #OpenTheDebates to voters' actual ballot choices! All we need to do is organize some of the 76% of US voters who prefer #OpenDebates (compared to 17% who prefer #ClosedDebates).

@bruce4nv @Jorgensen4POTUS @LWV @AngelaNWalker @fairvote @representus @RepresentWomen @DFADCoalition @DemocracyFund @uniteamerica We believe they would hear the call from the 76% of US voters who want to #OpenTheDebates (compared to just 17% who prefer #ClosedDebates).
@PeaceLibLady @nytdavidbrooks @Jorgensen4POTUS Since @nytdavidbrooks supports #RankedChoiceVoting & the #FairRepresentationAct, we hope he might also speak up for the 76% of US voters who want to #OpenTheDebates to all ballot-qualified candidates (compared to just 17% who prefer #ClosedDebates).
@YoItsTyRo Exactly. 76% of US voters want #OpenDebates, compared to 17% who prefer #ClosedDebates. We're hoping @davidpaleologos is hard at work finding updated numbers.
@TulsiGabbard @ggreenwald @LWV ... Will you stand with the 76% of US voters who want #OpenDebates in the general election, compared to just 17% who prefer #ClosedDebates?

@RuffPhillips Also 2016:
76% voters wanted #OpenDebates ✅
17% voters wanted #ClosedDebates ❌
The self-proclaimed "Commission on Presidential @Debates" went with...
wait for it...
❌ CLOSED ❌ DEBATES ❌
3 out of 4 voters want #OpenDebates, where we hear from every candidate on enough state ballots to have a mathematical shot at winning the Electoral College. Just 17% prefer #ClosedDebates.
It's time to #OpenTheDebates to #MoreVoicesBetterChoices: https://t.co/yZ6hHgQn0w 2/2
2016: @davidpaleologos's important @USATODAY/@Suffolk_U poll showed 3 out of 4 voters wanted #OpenDebates (only 17% wanted #ClosedDebates).
2019: Yet another important poll shows 2 in 10 voters think the 2 parties are good enough, 3 in 10 want a 3rd party, 3 in 10 want more.
Paleologos on the Poll: Voters disillusioned with the two major parties could be the deciding factor in 2020, David Paleologos says. https://t.co/3aBKcT7bRP
@scottsantens @representus Don't forget to #OpenTheDebates to #MoreVoicesBetterChoices. When the two duopoly parties agree on something (e.g. war, spending, surveillance, legalized corruption & influence-peddling, etc.) then they can conveniently keep it out of the political discourse via #ClosedDebates.
@smerconish Two sides to this debate. But what about this other, more important, one, where voters weigh in at 76% to 17% against #ClosedDebates?
The case for #OpenDebates:
👉🏾 3 / 4 voters want them
👉🏾 3 / 5 voters want at least a 3rd major party
👉🏾 4 / 10 voters are independent
👉🏾 1 / 200 state legislators are independent
👉🏾 1 / 268 U.S. Reps/Senators are independent
👉🏾 1 /10 Americans think two-party system works well
@tjohara2012 @HowardSchultz Good point. @HowardSchultz, what's your position on #ClosedDebates vs. #OpenDebates? What's your position on #RankedChoiceVoting as a solution to spoiler fears? What's your position on #HR1 & democracy reform in general?
@BrdgAllianceUS #DemocracyChat A1: Our issue, #OpenDebates, is a perfect example of how dysfunctional the system is. We have a corrupt #TwoPartyDuopoly, voters are sick of it & overwhelmingly want to #OpenTheDebates (76% to 17%), & yet establishment institutions go along with #ClosedDebates. 5/5
@fairvote @reddit What does @BillGates think about #ClosedDebates that fly in the face of basic democratic principles AND represent a giant 🖕🏻to the 76% of voters in favor of #OpenDebates?
