At their best, debates are insipid, a pointless 19th century anachronism that convince no one and change nothing. Only 10 percent of voters even claim that debates influence their vote, a figure that’s wildly inflated by political enthusiasts.

DeJoy testified before the House Oversight and Reform Committee on Wednesday, answering lawmakers’ questions about lagging mail delivery and services.
