How are these debates conducted in other western democracies? Because the whole evening was chaos. And while Yang is justifiably upset about being singled out, I wish the network had been more liberal with the mute button. As it was, the many interruptions from Gillibrand, Swalwell, and Williamson were painfully awkward.

Was the problem that too many candidates were on the stage? Was it the format? I'm not sure who deserves criticism: the network or the candidates themselves?
