    Since these debates are formatted like a game show anyways, why not go further and use a points system?

    Imagine like anytime any player wants they can challenge what the other player said. Then a team of fact checkers is consulted and they give a truth rating. If the rating is ambiguous, nothing happens and we move on. If it turns out the player was lying, they get a penalty point. But if the player was telling the truth, the challenger gets a penalty point.

    Three points and you’re out, plus a bucket of slime gets dumped on you.

    Let’s make this shit fun to watch and call out the lies.

      Too many lies and a trap door opens up that dumps grifter politicians in the dumpster where they belong
