I am glad the DNC decided to ban FOX from hosting a debate

but I think we need to go further. In 2016, there were zero, none, nada questions about either abortion or LGBT rights, very few on climate change and a host of other important issues were ignored. This was true in both the primary debates and the general election debates. 2016 was the most consequential election in regards to both abortion and LGBT rights in the last half century. Yet zero questions, not one. The DNC should either get the journalists who host the primary debates to address these issues or have advocacy groups host debates which engage these issues as was done in 2008.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden

Seriously. Force yourself to watch FOX for 20 minutes and you will see what I mean. FOX has become a Saturday Night Live skit.
