Ninth Democratic Debate: February 19 in Las Vegas, NV (9 pm ET on NBC/MSNBC)

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

The moderators are straight-up railroading this, so far.

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

"I'm more of a Microsoft Word guy"?

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

What kind of out of touch world do these people live in?

Do they ever go fishing? Shooting? Hunting? Go to a Walmart or a Target? Eat at Arbys or McDonalds?

I get the feeling all of the people on this stage are so far from mainstream America, it's almost perplexing.

Uh. You realize that white non-metropolitan America is not the norm, right?

It is for the electoral college, buddy buddy.

I'm picturing a laid-off steel worker in Pennsylvania watching this argument about Twitter trolls among presidential candidates and I'm becoming more confident in Trump's re-election by the second.

Bingo.

P.S. Mayor Pete's staring face is actually quite stupid looking.

You know people who eat at Arby's? Really?

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

"What the hell is he talking about?"--my mom, on Bloomberg

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

"How it turned out with" stop and frisk?

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

I couldn't let this golden display name opportunity pass

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

How was Bloomberg even elected Mayor of NYC?

New York City is a wretched hive of scum and villainy. (New Englander, normal)

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

This just shows how out of touch these people are.  Blacks WANT someone who is tough on crime.  They're tired of dying on the streets.  They're tired of the mass shootings in their neighborhoods.  Only Mayor Bloomberg has saved black lives of the people on this stage.

"Nobody has a better relationship with the blacks than me!"

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

Please moderators-bring up Bernie's comments on the USSR, let the American people see what he had to say about a nation that killed 100+ million people.

Citing the Black Book of Communism statistics as gospel truth? In 2020? It's more likely than you'd think.

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

Bernie & Bloomberg both heart attack buddies....

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

Amy is almost as obsessed with carrying Congressional districts in statewide races as your typical Atlas poster!

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

Atlas Democrats, how does this feel? How does watching this trainwreck play out feel? How stoked are you for the second term?

"All the glamour, and the trauma, and the f**king melodrama..."

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

Mike is winning.  Regular people love this.  Like me.

My 63-year-old chardonnay-loving mother who believes in beating Trump at all costs is watching this with me and thinks Bloomberg seems mentally incompetent.

I don't think shes normal...

She's a normal Democratic primary voter.

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

Bloomberg "blaming" Bernie for writing a tax code that benefits people like him (Bloomberg)...ayy

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

They're wrong about the tax code. If anything, America's tax code is rigged against those who make money. The second you make a decent amount of money, what happens? The government takes a big bite of it.

The government takes just as big a bite of it if you're poor, dude.

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

Workers having token representatives on corporate boards is communism?! Christ. This is your brain on fifty billion dollars.

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

Bloomberg owned Sanders with the communism line.

Yeah, it'll help him with affluent boomers who'll talk him up during the primary and then turn out for Trump in droves in the general because of muh ROARING ECONOMY.

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

"Management job"

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

Amy is the class rep from a 90s anime. Pete is the class rep from your actual high school.

Of course not , if two moderates combined have over 50% why should bernie be the nominee . That’s it being unfair

Because:

1) They're not the same candidate?
2) Because moderate candidates =/= moderate voters?

Take your pick. Donald Trump was the moderate GOP pick in 2016 by your reasoning.

That’s not how any system works . Nobody with plurality is entitled to win .


Other wise Jacinda Ardern wouldn’t be PM

Not that I like FPTP, but it's how almost every statewide and federal election for any office other than the presidency works.

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

Warren did the best but I'm not sure the overall state of her campaign is healthy enough for me to say she "won" exactly. Bloomberg lost, lmao.
