Does political debate help you decide?

Or are they a waste of time (and money)?

All of these stupid debates are a waste of time because the candidates just stick their finger in the air to determine the political wind and what they need to say to capitalize on it. None of these candidates stand for anything whatsoever except getting elected or reelected. They all represent the lowest form of political leadership on Earth. And the tax deductions that people and corporations get for supporting these debates is fundamentally criminal.
