I spent a few minutes on YouTube and came up short. Was frustrating. Ended up split screening chrome and an adblocker browser on my phone to have cnn feed on top and sherdog in the bottom to chat here.

I'm assuming guns were discussed in the first half? I would like to go back and see each candidates statements on that regard in light of the recent shooting.

The gun talk seemed super short and nothing crazy. Pete and one other drove home that huge majorities support comprehensive background checks. I can't even remember, but they did bring it up.

Damn, I never really thought of this, but everyone on the dem stage was a member of the 1% weren’t they.

Yes they are, but in Bernie's case, after 30 years in politics it only became true in 2016.

Quite amazing isn't that?

And the best part, when he became part of the 1% it wasn't from speaking at corporate conferences, insider trading, or even a pay up front book deal, it was because he had a % of each book sold, and millions of people bought his book.
 
Pete on post-show! I'm such a schoolgirl.

He feels good, knows he did well.

Just type in "debate" and filter down to "live." There were like 50 debate snipe streams going, although some of them had annoying commentary.

Didn't use a live filter. Tried using a "uploaded in past 24 hours" filter.

Thanks for the Youtubefu trick
 
Is it going to come down to Harris, Bernie, Warren or Biden?

Can anyone else win the nomination? None of them would be my first or second pick but would vote for any of them over Trump.

Buttigieg and Booker I think are still live, but I think the other 14 are probably toast.

Why anyone would want to watch it is beyond me, you know what they are going to say. I’ll give you all the cliff notes and save you a bunch of time.

-It’s time the top 1% pay their fair share
-Student debt cancelled, free college for everyone
-Free healthcare
-Climate change is an existential threat
-Gun control
-Trump is racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic... you name it!

I actually think it is between Warren, bernie, and Pete.

Biden has the name recognition, but he is really horrible at politics.

Harris like Pete lacks the name recognition, but Pete is so polished that he can rise fast, and become a Obama like shooting star.

That is really my only worry.

Hey, I'm not saying he did a horrible job. I'm not saying that he wasn't just working within a system that was in place long before he came along.

That money prevents real change though. You are suspect as fuck if you take that money.

Great people like Chomsky agree with you man. Obama was fine if you like the status quo. I think he was terrible.

LOL, yeah I don't know why either. I guess I'm just a political junkie, getting my fix for the day.
 
Ok, just went to r/politics


A lot of people are unironically supporting Maryanne.



Is this the fucking twilight zone?
