The editorial
Source: The Times of India · 8 Oct 2020When participants adhere to the rules of the game, debates can indeed deliver their stated goal of putting forward opposing arguments coherently.

With less than a month remaining before the US elections, of course Pence and Harris sparred hard on everything from the pandemic and healthcare to racial justice, going frontal on some questions while dodging others. But what they were voicing were serious policy differences between the Republican and Democratic parties rather than personal dislike or disrespect.
