2020 Democratic presidential primary

Music Tuomas is so much better than Politics Tuomas.

or maybe Fred is Politics Geir

I've never really understood what was meant to be Nas' second hot album, though.

Illmatic was 1994.
'Takeover' came out in 2001.

And eighteen years later, he still hasn't made that second hot album. Rap beefs are weird.

well, good thing he didn't call himself Hovstradomus

I’d take It was Written over most Jay-Z albums though.

It Was Written is now considered an underrated classic!

Stillmatic was hot, God's Son did well.... overall his discography is mixed but underrated by ppl who just parrot opinions and don't bother to listen

I dug Life is Good

alright insult bernie all you want but “it was written” is a hot album

God's Son >>> IWW

IWW is, was, and always will be the International Workers of the World, aka Wobblies.

that album was wobbly, yes

prominent rap critic s trife once opined to me that the rapping on God's Son was the best he'd ever heard anywhere, an opinion I do not take lightly

So now that the field's narrowed a bit, I'm considering watching the debate tonight. Hope I don't regret it.

You definitely will

Probably so. Still way too many candidates, but first time all frontrunners will be on the same stage makes it more attractive.

wow, Patti Smith looks fantastic

Woo fucking hoo

theyre "nicer" to you because you're a fucking joek and it's generally good to play up your affection for your opponents' biggest idiots/ assholes/ frauds (until Trump came along)

also, you fucking asshole, since all the prayers "stopped" Dorian in its tracks and made it break north why didn't y'all keep it from hitting the Bahamas??

while our current Dear Leader is about as empathic as a jackboot, i would still prefer to steer clear of presidential options who refer to massive blocs of the US populace as "mean" and then roll their eyes

Wait what’s wrong with David Simon?

he never stops arguing with trolls on twitter

Sheesh that’s sad

the time he tweeted at sean hannity: "hannity my n word" was bad

(he used the actual word, with an a at the end, he was being satirical, but, you know, still)

From now on, I’m going to vote for anyone who promises less twitter in our daily lives.

he blocked me and i don't think i've ever interacted w him

Simon is basically a "Russian spies under the bed" goober with the sneer of someone who thinks he was the best reporter in the world.

Also his cockwaffling compound swears are horrible

I like what Bernie is saying, but wow is his presentation rough. Biden, otoh, is surprisingly clear and cogent, but the message stinks. Warren meanwhile is great overall but completely avoided answering the middle class tax question.

My god, Klobuchar is horrendous.

lol i got my time zones mixed up, thought this wasn't starting for another half hour.

someone get bernie some water please

Some sparks flying here. I like that there's a clear dividing line between Sanders and Warren and everyone else. I'm amazed that there are so many incrementalists.

Ok, Castro is taking some cheap shots here

lol Kamala "the late, great John McCain"

It's kind of silly when someone like Buttigieg complains "This is what people hate about politics." It's a debate!

"I am Asian... so I know a lot of doctors." heh

It's kind of silly when someone like Buttigieg complains "This is what people hate about politics." It's a debate!

Castro reminded him too

not cheap, biden needs to retire

Yeah, that was good: "It's called an election."

castro the pugilist is a fuckin good look, he's def angling for the veep slot next to bernie or warren

wow buttigieg marshalled even more than the marshall plan that's wild

I think it's more accurate to say that people hate it when they talk over each other--that's obnoxious, yes.

Kamala Harris needs to find more energy

I haven't heard Sanders or Warren breathe in 31 minutes.

They put it all out there on healthcare, nothing's left in the tank.

O'Rourke is otm about gun confiscation

Yes
