The tone is lighthearted and humorous, but it also touches on serious political themes, as indicated by the image's 'Threat to Democracy' title. The statement does not engage in substantive public discourse about the debate's content or the candidates' policies, but it does frame the debate as an important event.

  5. Principle 6:
