More debates? Yes, please

I've seen it mentioned, more than once, that Sanders supporters have stopped asking for more debates. I believe that most people have simply given up that DWS will ever allow it. But yes, I'd love more debates, I thought the one we had was great.

Do people really believe that we don't want more? Why is this being said?

I want more. How about you?

I believe Wasserman-DINO has her guarantee of a big reward, and all the complaints in the universe won't budge her. Waste of effort.

that while hrc clearly didn't want many, so dws went along, Bernie's campaign thinks they have lots of publicity. The only candidate who will really benefit from more debates is Martin O'Malley, and neither hrc or Bernie want to provide it for him.

BULLSHIT! However, the last 2 debates don't gave a firm date yet and some people think that means they won't happen. I would find that deeply disturbing.
