Staadecker is being a chickenshit but let's not kid ourselves - Candidate Survivor is a moronic and condescending mockery of young voters. What we 20-somethings need is an opportunity to grill these candidates hard on affordable housing, transit, and police reform. Instead what we are getting is a talent show. No wonder the Washington Bus is so ineffective and generally ignored by young people.
@3, there have been dozens of serious candidate forums held already, plenty of opportunities for you to grill the candidates on serious issues. Let's have fun for a night, huh? Sure, it isn't as sober and serious, and perhaps informative, as gathering with a bunch of ancient PCOs at a district Democrat meeting, but is that necessarily a bad thing?
Right?
