I think its Obama's fault because even with Bush before him and Clinton, everything was not so divisive. It wasn't so much white v. black, republican v. democrat.
Things got divisive from 2016 onwards , but it wasn't coming from the Democrats.

President Biden is discovering the hard way that standing at a podium bathed in blood-red light, flanked by marines, and denouncing your political opponents as threats to the country is not as popular a move as he hoped. Poll after poll finds Americans repulsed by the September 1 fear-fest in Philadelphia, which drew comparisons to V for Vendetta and Star Wars for its over-the-top authoritarian tone. The president tried to convince the country that his critics are dangerous, but he seems to have convinced many, instead, that the real peril lives in the White House.
"It represents a dangerous escalation in rhetoric and is designed to incite conflict among Americans" was the choice of 56.8 percent of respondents asked in a Trafalgar/Convention of States poll to characterize Biden's speech.* Another 35.5 percent called it "acceptable campaign messaging" and 7.7 percent weren't sure.
Sixty percent of respondents told the Harvard CAPS/Harris poll that the speech "divides [the country] and holds it back" while 54 percent added that it "was an example of fear mongering."
"62 percent of Americans believed Biden's comments about Trump and his MAGA followers 'increases division in the country,'" chimes in the I&I/TIPP poll. "Perhaps surprisingly, Democrats—at 73 percent—were more likely to say that Biden's MAGA comments increased division than either Republicans (50 percent) or independents (57 percent)."

I've said it a few times before, but I believe it's worth repeating. They should have a host representing each side and each given equal time to host. That way no candidate or host can receive all of the questions in advance and neither can the candidates hide from really relevant and difficult questions. It would be a big step towards a much fairer debate.
Pass it on and just maybe the right people will hear. Maybe it might even happen in the next debate?

Are you being funny or serious?
Is there a delay on this thing?
So when Biden freezes on stage, CNN can edit that out and quick go to a different camera?

Can confirm
1-2 minute delay per various news sources
