2020 Democratic presidential primary

so why does Gabbard have a louder-than-usual claque from lib Twitter readers? She's a war machine zombie, according to the evidence tonight.

castro's from san antonio, though

america's most important and beautiful city

these closing arguments are illmunating

"i don't want to be your president just to be your president. i want to be your dad."

did any of them say they wanted to be our tugboat captain?

three things to know about amy klobuchar

i made someone wash my comb that i used to eat food with because there wasn't any silverware, dammit
i treat my workers like shit
fuck you

"i listen to people and that is how i get things done" - a. klobuchar

looooool

omigod Beto consulted notes

She's a war machine zombie, according to the evidence tonight.

you are correct

"so why does Gabbard have a louder-than-usual claque from lib Twitter readers? "

she's attractive and people are shallow

beto is our lil marco

xxp she was a dove next to Ryan

I think Beto was great in this debate

Klobuchar sounded surprisingly nervous (so did Blasio) in these closing statements.

I thought Castro and Inslee comported themselves well

Other than Liz though pfffft

castro going in on beto was good, as was tulsi going in on tim ryan

I think Beto was great in this debate

this is p standard beto he is handsome and he talks good this is his thing and it will be less and less impressive as you see more of him

otm

Hmm I thought Beto was the worst of any of the actual serious candidates. Very low on passion, ideas, just seemed like he didn’t want to be pinned down to anything.

yeah I was abt to say Beto was singularly unimpressive but then there were those other 19 dudes

*distant sounds of johnny b goode kick in*

xps re: Beto oh you mean the dude who just proposed a fucking VETERANS TAX?

Warren gets my vote obv but the person who fucked with the sound when MSNBC started talking is a close second imo

Beto was fucking awful wtf

Tim Ryan is a dough-eating bore but he didn't look focus grouped-tested like the #betohaircut

wait Beto was tonight?

Is this still going? I was at a city council meeting hashtag act locally

Really wish warren had been on stage with basically anyone else who has a legit chance of winning. Strictly keeping to her performance tonight I don’t think she knocked it out of the park but she was mostly sharing the stage with clowns.

Chris Wallace: "The winner tonight was Joe Biden."

thats chris matthews and he's also v dumb

warren and castro, winners

most of these domineering men were so repulsive. I don't think Beto has a chance of winning the nomination but I really liked him and I hope he has a future in politics

― hollow your fart (m bison)

lol yeah

Beto has a future as (a) senator from Texas (b) Wells Fargo bank manager in San Antonio

pleeeeeeeeeeease dont let him come here, there already enough post hardcore middle aged dads who moved away from austin bc they wanted a bigger house so they moved to stone oak, keep his ass in el paso

(b), but managerial track

Saw a meme that I didn't bother to check the veracity of, but it showed a graphic of every dem candidate atm and who they were a superdelegate for. Every single one of them were for Clinton but Gabbard, who was for Sanders.

I did appreciate Beto not going for the little league dad vibes of some of the other dudes but Castro was also pretty measured and actually had something to say

gabbard was an early sanders ally and she was v popular with hardcore berners

also she's a troop, which is a magic qualification that makes conservatives respect your position on universal health care

Chris Wallace: "The winner tonight was Joe Biden."

Shit, we all knew going in that Biden out-polled everyone on that stage but Warren by a laughably large margin. All Chris Wallace was saying is that Biden didn't get knee-capped by the likes of Beto or Gabbard, and that was never going to happen anyway.

Next up tomorrow, Joe Biden once again shoots himself in a non-vital organ in front of the cameras and a modest audience of people who might care, thus having only a minimal effect on his poll numbers, which mean next to nothing at this stage anyway.

This full thread is unloadable at 8000+ posts. Can we have a new one now that the debates have started?

lots of xposts

I liked what gabbard had to say, but i'm just so suspicious of her background

I don't really think Beto is likely to ever be senator from Texas. I wish he had some kind of political future

i hope biden gets dragged by everyone onstage tomorrow

i think ppl tend to exaggerate how toxic gabbard is, i wouldn't vote for her in a primary though

I haven’t watched the Beto doc and haven’t seen him speak a whole lot in general, I have to say I was pretty surprised tonight at how scantly he connected to the audience, I thought that was supposed to be his strength

there was a sound blackout in the last 30 mins of a Ford-Carter debate in '76, prompting the Chevy Chase line, "Mr Ford won the first half-hour, Mr Carter the second, and the American people the third."

There are too many candidates and it did everyone a disservice. Way too often, a candidate went without saying anything for 15-20 minutes at a time. They need to start weeding out the weaklings or it’s gonna be another shitshow

O'ROURKE: ok so when will we be allowed to stand on the podium
LESTER HOLT: at no point should you even walk away from let alone on top of the podium
O'ROURKE: fuck

What they’re gonna do—take out several laggards, but put 12 people on stage at once, somehow making the problem worse

They need to start weeding out the weaklings

Prompting yells of 'rigged system' from those whose sense of grievance outbulks their sense of reality.

xp voodoo chili, I agree. there were so many voices that it was hard to see that anyone won the debate. it's early days though
