Description

American presidential debates have become chaotically performative, threatening to erode representative democracy by impeding thoughtful deliberation over who can best lead. The Audience Decides seeks to better understand the in-person audience and their influence on those observing this political spectacle by considering primal forms of communication: laughter, applause-cheering, and booing.
