Who's going to qualify for the Democratic debates?

[Mr. Morden]

I believe Steyer has now qualified for the October debate, since he got 2% in the new CBS/Yougov poll of Nevada.

Yep. Gotta sting for Tulsi that she couldn't get 2% in any of the four states.

Gabbard gets 2%, according to Washington Post's top-line results for the ABC/WaPo poll...

DNC clarified, she can only use her Adults number, not her RV number, so she has 1% in this poll.

Typical DNC farce.

Like with Bullock, they are looking at ways to keep Gabbard out this time - by using the adult sample, which every pollster will tell you is inferior and less telling compared to the registered voter sample (where she got 2%).

[○∙◄☻¥tπ[╪AV┼cVê└]

Unlike the Yang one, this one should clearly have been allowed according to the rules.

[Warren 4 Secretary of Everything]

Hopefully they don’t do a random drawing for the October debates and put Bernie, Warren, and Biden on stage together. Everyone else is an afterthought.

Clearly they are keeping her out because of she knocked Harris down

[SN2903]

Gabbard posted last night that she got her 3rd poll with the ABC poll.

Once again, hope she sees this bro!

[Tender Branson]

No, she is still at 2 polls.

The DNC are incredible a**holes by using adults over the more telling RV sample.

[They not like us]

This looks kind of sh*tty on the DNC's part that they wouldn't just count this for her. Now it looks like they're deliberately splitting hairs when it goes against Tulsi. I'm not a big fan of hers, but she has a legitimate case here.

Doing this despite KNOWING that the DNC is not accepting the poll is called "gaslighting," as near as I can tell.

Maybe she'll pull a George Costanza and just show up to the debate even though she doesn't qualify.

If she gets a legitimate 4th poll, of course she has qualified.

It's only not "official", because of the DNC's blatant rigging against her.

If this were a case of voter fraud, the DNC would be seen stuffing ballot papers into the election booths. So obvious it is.

Why is it DNC rigging when it's Gabbard, but a bad campaign when it's Gillibrand or Inslee? If the DNC accepted more polls, they'd just raise the thresholds. The whole point of the polling requirement is to eliminate candidates who have continued to poll poorly through two debates and try to reach a small number of consensus candidates by primary season to avoid a brokered convention and ensure the largest mandate from the party for the eventual nominee. That Gabbard had failed to achieve this is no fault but her own and her campaign's.

[Biden Stans Are Cringelords]

Unless Kamala rises again and Tulsi needs to put her back in place I don't really see much a need for her participation in the debates. There seems to be a low ceiling for her support among the Dem electorate. If there's a foreign crisis at some point in the next few months Bernie is more than capable of carrying the anti-war torch in the debates, he's opposed every military intervention except Kosovo after all.

At the end of the day, Tulsi is a fake progressive on most issues (she was a Blue Dog) and besides calling out warmongers and hypocrites (Ryan and Kamala) she's contributed nothing of substance that couldn't be provided by Warren or Bernie. And Warren and Bernie will have to learn how to get nasty and call out the establishment if they want to win (I'm sure Warren could do this if she's ever allowed to debate Biden, Bernie IDK).

Whining about the process being rigged is a bad strategy, and it makes Gabbard look like a nutjob conspiracy theorist. She'll probably qualify in October and that'll be that.

[GeneralMacArthur]

Can't wait for the DNC e-mails to get hacked, literally every internal communication to be exposed to the public, and the Tulsi campaign to focus in on some low-level staffer saying "god Tulsi is such a whiner" as evidence that the whole thing was rigged.

Updated chart on the October debates:

[morgankingsley]

She should just run third party at this point

[Pericles]

Hopefully she drops out soon and we don't have to hear about her again.

[7,052,770]

It would be great TV for her to just show up at the debate and walk on the stage.
