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

[PSOL]

It’s starting

[PSOL]

Yaaas, my queen is going first.

Oh gawd I’m creaming

[PSOL]

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

Yes

[PSOL]

Castro is on fire too. He’d make a great VP.

[PSOL]

Well this conversation evolved...

[PSOL]

Warren needs to step up her game, this debate just got competitive!

[PSOL]

Warren is taking the air back. Nice counterattack on the War on Women.


Also lol at Booker pretending to be a Progressive, he literally has a blank stare of sellout.

[PSOL]

DeBlasio just went full #populist

[PSOL]

Our first attack of the debate, was wondering when that would occur.

[PSOL]

We’re on Iran...

[PSOL]

This debate in a nutshell


MEDICARE FUNDED ABORTION FOR ILLEGAL TRANSWOMEN

Hitting all the right points. I’m actually proud of this batch of candidates. The only downside is no Gravel.

[PSOL]

Warren have a solid answer on gun control, as expected from our most experienced candidate.

[PSOL]

Warren, stop being a mouse and start bringing in zingers! For Pete’s sake, this is your chance!

[PSOL]

A smashing final statement, finally. We still can grow and move on from this, Warren still has the momentum.

Don't agree. I think Tulsi and Castro are gonna take some of her support after this debate and I think Gabbard could rise into mid single digits.

Warren has the most solidified base of support in this race, so while there will be a curve down, this debate won’t bring us down.

[PSOL]

My bingo card for this evening:

While this is mostly a solid placard, I’ve never seen Democratic officials complain about there being no change in (X...). That seems to be more of an activist/whiny internet troll type of saying.

[PSOL]

Well &/@/, Marianne just went from the bottom of the barrel to the top 10 for me. She actually did give an ok performance with a few zingers. Meanwhile Yang just didn’t meet up with expectations, but didn’t totally collapse.

You all are terrible at analysis, FFS; sometimes I wonder if our masse of information available can’t lead us to a better future, and then I see that it’s because the consumers are mostly buffoons. The takes in this thread.

[PSOL]

Harris and Swalwell are too anti-gun for me for sure but I'm not surprised by their responses. I knew this going in.

Agreed.... although I'm not a Gun Nut and we have no firearms in our household and believe in closing gun loopholes in many areas to keep guns out of the hands of criminals, there is no reason to go OTT when it comes to legacy gun ownership (One of my son in laws owns an AR-15 as do many co-workers at the same Factory in which we work), and agree we should close Gun Show Loopholes and Universal Background Checks, ban imports of Military assault rifles from overseas (AK-47 gets banned from Russia and now we get Chinese Clones).

Gun violence is real and it's not just about getting guns out of the hands of "criminals".

Folks that have committed Domestic violence account for a huge chunk of gun murders in the USA, but yet the NRA protects the rights of those who have committed domestic violence....

Most murders in the US are not random violence, but committed at the hands of immediate family members, neighbors, and co-workers....

Why can't we identify these patterns earlier and let me buy an AR-15 for target shooting, or at least let me rent one on the shooting range for target shooting?

This is literally what Warren responded in the face of her time to discuss gun control, in that she wants to treat it like by the scientific method for that the best possible efficiency.
