Its both useful and pretty obvious to me. The primary function of these debates is to get a temperature check on ‘what the party is all about’, and through this lense, we can see that they haven’t moved in from misogyny, racism, and neo/facsist ideologies. They have an accountability to their voters to do so, and engagement will drive turnout. It’s in their benefit to show they have some kind of value to their voters.
Frankly, I’m annoyed we’re not also having a farse of a primary and debate season for Biden. It’s a chance to ask questions and be critical, and anyone who says it’s not the time for that is antidemocratic. Debates are one of the very few times we can hold the parties at least some what accountable for the bile they soew forth, even if only in a comedically produced and frankly, offensive to the definition of the word debate, debate structure.
We already have so few entry points into democracy in the US. Writing off this one seems ludicrous.
