1st DEM Debate Thread: June 26 & 27, Miami, MSNBC & NBC & Telemundo (9-11pm)

Is this the first time someone said "Latinx" in a presidential debate?

Such a dumb phrase, and she didn't even say it right. Whitest thing ever.

[Starry Eyed Jagaloon]

Klobuchar, Booker, Castro, and Delaney are killing it. DeBlasio and Inslee are just sad.

Also, can someone call for massively increasing total immigration already?

[Starry Eyed Jagaloon]

Warren is weak on guns.

[Starry Eyed Jagaloon]

Why is Tim Ryan even here?  Man has spoke about 4 words tonight

Yeah. Surprising he didn't suggest yoga for fun owners as a method of fun control.

[Starry Eyed Jagaloon]

Rust belt bingo space. You'd best stand up to us elitals.

Someone needs to injection some fun!

I hate my tiny phone

How can anyone say Tim Ryan did poorly is beyond me. He did great IMO, can one of you people explain.

He was way out of his league. Not that smart, not that articulate, didn't propose much, and basically pivoted everything to standing up for people who live near the Great Lakes. His only mildly impressive moment was when he criticized Gabbard's excessive anti-interventionism.

[Starry Eyed Jagaloon]

Harris, Gillibrand, Pete, and (surprisingly) Williamson are doing well. Sanders is characteristically awful. Lol@Yang.

[Starry Eyed Jagaloon]

Like, I don't support going after non-violent illegal immigrants, but how can you flat out say, "if you illegally immigrate here you should never be deported".  You might as well scrap all of our immigration laws.

Unironically in favor of this.

[Starry Eyed Jagaloon]

Bernie and Biden are dominating. No one else is doing well in my opinion

Literally nobody thinks this.

[Starry Eyed Jagaloon]

Kamala/Biden: deep discussion on race

Sanders: "THA MIDDLE CLASS HASNT HAD A PAY RAISE IN FAWTY YEAHS"

Aka things that are actually real and matter.

Welfare for white people.

Also, Kamala is amazing

This thread shows exactly who Trumpsters don't want to run against.

We would love to face Harris..

Then you'll lose. She's better and more compelling at this than Obama. If you want a culture war then you'll lose. The silent majority backs liberal cosmopolitanism.

[Starry Eyed Jagaloon]

Kamala has to watch her voice.

Trump will win 40 states against Harris. I really hope she gets the nomination.

Why is this to visceral for you? Feeling insecure?

POTUS Hillary Clinton says hi.

The 2018 metropolitan Democrat majority says hi. Macron v LePen says hi. ALDE in Europe says hi. Trumps win got everyone against him and his worldview. You will lose this fight and Kamala is your worst nightmare.

[Starry Eyed Jagaloon]

STOP IGNORING YANG YOU CORPORATE MEDIA HACKS

Yang is a joke and in way over his head.

Williamson is actually way better at this.

[Starry Eyed Jagaloon]

Dictator Harris.

Please stop

[Starry Eyed Jagaloon]

Kamala: *exists*
Atlas: OMG WHY DID SHE DO THAT!?! TRUMP WILL DESTROY HER!

I mean, he will, so.....?

Yeah right. AZ, PA, Mi vote for her. Done!

snip

de Blasio didn't lose night one. He didn't win (not by a long shot), but he didn't lose either.

He came off as an angry, Marxist jerk with a penchant for interruption.

[Starry Eyed Jagaloon]

I am frankly baffled that anyone legitimately believes that Williamson’s performance will garner her any support beyond her existing cult following. She gave zero substantive commentary on policy and was terribly scatterbrained (talking about the moon, the power of imagination, children in New Zealand, etc.). I get that eccentricity can draw some viewers in, but...

I appreciated her sickness care line. We have a lot to do with improving the health of people in this country through cutting farm subsidies, stopping food stamp use for unhealthy food, incentivizing excersize and not smoking to receive public health coverage, and stricter chemical regulation.

These people look like the citizens of the Capitol in the Hunger Games. Are all rich coastal dems like this?

Not seeing it. Do you just hate living near oceans or something?

[Starry Eyed Jagaloon]

Wants the point of illegal immigration even being a civil offense if all the candidates have pledged never to deport anyone unless they've committed a major crime? Illegal immigrants will just keep accruing fines for as long as they are here? Will they be put in jail if they don't pay fines? Every single candidate in the debate took this position but it doesn't appear any of them even thought it out.

What do you have against immigrants? They are human too, unlike you.

We don't have infinity resources and thus cannot share our resources with an unlimited number of people. Simple as.

Immigrants produce more resources than they consume.
