I think that there should be a primary with valid candidates, but I doubt any of those have a chance of defeating Biden in the primary or a republican candidate except Trump in the presidential election.

Even if you are right, the debates will bring forth discussion on how we can improve; that is if Biden won't dismiss a Governor, and actually take part in a debate.

I don't think a public debate is the right place for a party to decide its policies. That should be done in a less public setting. Policy making is not a spectator sport, it takes time and much thought, not witty comebacks and one-liners.

Youve clearly never watched a presidential campaign debate.

I think that it's better for the people to decide the policies; and that the government should work with the people in a transparent way.

I think that it's best to question a candidate's agenda, and his approach to achieving that agenda, out in the open, for the people, whom these candidates supposedly serve, to see.

So much for Democracy.

I've watched plenty. If you've ever watched one; it seems that you didn't fully understand what you were seeing.

I agree with that 100%. But thats not at all what the debates provide. In fact they draw attention away from the agenda, the policies, the principles etc, and give us spectacle, gotcha moments, shouting over each other (some more than others) instead.
