I honestly think that American Idol is better than the American debates because American Idol is
more entertaining than the debates. It is fun to watch people make fools of themselves as they
attempt to sing songs they don’t even know. However, I do think that the debates are very
important and they are very interesting to watch. The debates will affect America because these are
the things that the presidential candidates will and will not do in office. American Idol on the
other hand will not affect America as much. However, if I had to choose between the two, I would
definitely choose to watch American Idol. |

I mean I agree and for a couple reasons
1. American Idol is entertainment and hearing the debates often leaves the viewer feeling
overwhelmed about the problems in the world
2. The viewers are often uneducated and can't keep up with the fast paced intullecutal dialouge
3. Viewers that ARE educated often don't want to waste their time with political BS and empty
promises and rather research the candidate's positions online or something at another time
..I'm not saying I don't care about the debates because I do. But it completely easy to comprehend
why other people don't want to deal with it. |

I believe American Idol makes your brain start to ooze out your ear, if you still have a brain from
watching it. Lol |

American Idol certainly isn't better than American political debates. Just because more people
watch it doesn't mean it's qualitatively better, in fact, I think American Idol sucks.
The simple fact is, most Americans don't watch the debates because they don't care what the
candidates have to say, they vote on what people look like and whatever soundbytes get tossed
around, not the issues. |

Both American Idol and US nomination debates come up a bit short in their respective fields.
American Idol does little to promote real talent and creativity, but goes a long way in the
promotion of mediocrity. US primary debates, on the other hand, are not terribly satisfying to those
who take a strong interest in politics. The debate is often shallow, with candidates barely touching
key issues, instead of exploring them intelligently, and the emphasis seems to be on attractive
one-liners, catchy sound-bites that can be played repeatedly on news networks and lots of empty
rhetoric.
I would argue that both American Idol and US debates are rather light forms of entertainment, though
they appeal to different audiences. |

Your question is ambiguously worded. Together with your comment, it could be read either as merely
describing the state of affairs or as supporting it. I think it's clear that most people would
rather steep themselves in entertainment rather than engage in serious issues. That's deeply
regrettable. |
