Not that I think it's going to matter from a voting perspective, but the fewer excuses that Sanders supporters have to complain, the better off we'll be at this point. If the debates are cancelled, they'll come up with conspiracy theories, DNC, blah, blah, and/or claim that Biden was "afraid" to debate Bernie. I'd like the door closed on all of that.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden

No, it is not pointless to have the debate. Blue_true Mar 2020 #16
