Sarah Kendzior wrote something similar a few months ago. It hasn’t gotten any easier to read or relevant with time...

It was nice to see Bernie and others asking more yes or no questions, insisting on yes or no answers, and interjecting when the nominee diverged from that. Unfortunately that was mostly met with coddling from the board chairman and an allowance to spew their word salad...

Well, first there were a bunch of old white men in wigs that did some stuff, then a few wars or something, and then Ronald Reagan!
