Tonight's Presidential Debate

So I've made the decision not to watch tonight's presidential debate. While some of you claim that as an informed citizen, it is my duty to watch the most direct contact the two presidential candidates will have this campaign season, as it gives the most accurate representation of their platforms and characters alike. However, the truth is that the first two debates solidified my original thought on the modern version of the presidential debate. Since the candidates never seem to be forced into directly responding to the questions, what the viewers of the debate receive is more like a fragmented version of the candidates' generic campaign speeches. For this reason, I've decided to skip the debate tonight in order to go see Team America: World Police. I'm hoping that the movie will give slightly more critical political insight than the debate can offer.
