Tomorrow, all federal agencies will be ordered to appoint a "Chief Public Engagement Officer" so that people are being informed and engaged in the decisions that affect their lives. #PPCE

@peterlevine #AprilFoolDay Trump running for President again .. and 8 years ago today I warned why he'd win .. and the Biden admin's #OpenGov program has convinced people that their govt does now listen to them.

@AoDemocracies @AmbDMitchell @AndersFoghR @NDI @DCTwining @IRIglobal No link is given to review the Copenhagen Charter, so I clicked on the link to the video --> "This Video is Private." (Please reply to me here when it is public.) #opengov

Five years ago #AprilFoolsDay, I tried to explain why people were so frustrated at being un-heard and dismissed by the ruling elites ..that they would even vote for Trump! Still the case. #opengov

April Fools: The most common trait of Trump supporters is not what you think. (Really.) It's the un-heard. https://t.co/Zrdp1rXXYQ #opengov

As humans, we have a tendency -- which can be made worse (e.g., when we're Being Rushed) -- to oversimplify and see things in Only Two ways:

Yes/No

True/False

Black/White

Good/Bad

Us/Them

The Mayflower Compact was drafted and signed only 2 days after the Pilgrims sighted land.

It's amazing they were able to discuss and agree on a major document so quickly .. except when you remember that they were not distracted by smartphones: email, text-messages, social media.

[@Transpartisan @transpartisan]

@1a @MajorCBS @lupcb To paraphrase Deming's observation on #systems:

"The debate format that we have is perfectly designed to produce the results that we are getting."

Want a different result? Change the format so that the #Moderator actually has the power to control things .. like a mute button!

[Timothy Burke @bubbaprog]

To be clear, this shitshow is 100% the fault of @debates. They elected to set this format up, with this piss-poor moderator.

[D. Ray Long @RayLongDC]

Remember: If you, like most, are wondering why they don't have mute buttons in debates. It's the same reason they have the entirely pointless studio audiences. Their goal isn't policy discussions, their goal is TV moments. We have to press @debates to be better than this

[@Transpartisan @transpartisan]

"Candidates will then have an opportunity to respond to each other."

Not true.

The Commission @Debates needs to add ".. and interrupt as if there were no #Moderator."

[CPD @debates]

NEW: Chris Wallace, moderator of the first presidential debate, has selected topics for the 9/29 debate – The Trump and Biden Records, The Supreme Court, Covid-19, The Economy, Race and Violence in our Cities, The Integrity of the Election #Debates2020

[Yashar Ali 🐘 @yashar]

The commission on presidential debates is going to have to explore giving the moderator the ability to mute the mics for future debates.

We can't keep doing this.

[Michaele Replogle @Mishi_Replogle]

Chris Wallace! Cut the mic on the person who isn't supposed to be talking! It's not hard! #Debate2020 #Moderator

[Carly Belle @carlybelle_]

Someone tell me why the moderator doesn’t have a button to turn off the mics #Debates2020 #Moderator #CNNDebate

[John DePetro Show @JohnDePetroshow]

Wallace will never moderate a debate again. Sheer disaster . #Moderator

[moto1066 @moto10661]

@JohnDePetroshow @LegInsurrection Wallace is moderator, like those guys in the stripped shirts are refs in the wwe.

[Dan Rather @DanRather]

This is about as enlightening as a walk in the woods on a moonless night.

[Brian Knack @brianlknack]

Chris Wallace, if you have to keep telling people you are the #Moderator, thwn you're NOT! Sit down and shut up.
