I saw a brief commercial on CNN for the upcoming townhall, and they are advertising it like some

f**king sporting event. "one team verses another team"

Looks like they are gearing this up for the same kind of garbage they pulled in 2016. It was less about issues, and more about "one side verses the other"

Hope I am wrong on this, but the advertisement sure suggests a circus like atmosphere

The real instigators of all this shit is the advertising industry. Without them, we wouldn't have endless campaigning.
