2020 Democratic presidential primary

lolz

fuck off, Mayor Pete

Buttigieg puts money behind digital ad knocking 'Medicare for All' Democrats by name

LOL people applauding at Steyer's stupid introduction when he paused for applause

Bernie is sounding revitalized, a lot less gravelly

Clean pipes

I hate how Warren refuses to answer this question simply

Liz vs. Pete is tickling me

This is the first time she's been challenged at all, and it needs to happen. She's waffling.

They're all piling on now, damn

warren needs a better answer on this. when you're getting burned by klobuchar it is not going well.

The answer is easy, own the fact that taxes go up but you pay less over all, simple explanation

she needs to be like bernie and just acknowledge that taxes would go up. deflecting to "overall costs" may be technically true (depending on a definition of "costs" that not every viewer will share) but it is never a good look to obviously avoid the elephant in the room, over and over.

xp to moodles
exactly. that won't end the argument about it, but at least it would addressing it straightforwardly

yup

oh great now Harris can switch subjects

Bernie addressing it much better with righteous anger

Worthwhile, but how ya gonna pay for it too?

They can't even pass any of this, so really who cares?

which I think Klobuchar was speaking to

Amy's stepping up her game! Get ready for Klobuchamentum!

kLOLOLOLOLbuchar

This is so fucking boring

i want a supercut of all the sad sack regular american stories

none of them really have the time to make much of a case

at least they're getting a little feisty this time

I want Booker to drop out and start moderating the debates.

I am watching baseball

i am watching happy birthday to me, an excellent ‘80s slasher

Tulsi is a weirdo, no one knows what she's on about

Follow it up with Happy Death Day, a surprisingly intricate little slasher from 2017

i admit i was woolgathering for a moment... did gabbard really just say "i have been called an asset of putin and assad and it is an outrage! will you stand with me now in opposing regime change in Syria?"

tulsi's assad/putin stoogemanship is like three kids stacked on each other in a trenchcoat

Buttigieg is running for DNC chair.

not watching, but on past form it seems to me that Warren simply wants to avoid providing GOP attack ads and memesters with footage of her saying "your taxes will go up."

if her strategy is stressing overall costs down, and Bernie's is to say "yeah we're gonna raise taxes but you'll like it," seems reasonable for them to be doing different things

tsk imagine saying this to Brad

this made me LOL, especially the look on Warren's face that was like "wait are they expecting me to answer Tulsi Gabbard's question now?"

buttigieg is being a lil prick tonight

I think i only know of Happy Death Day because of Brad mentioning it. I was super excited on a recent flight that they had Happy Death Day on the tv but then I realized it was the sequel! It was ok.

It isn’t like that, though - the questions were like “does your proposal raise taxes, yes no?” and her answers were like um, I don’t know but overall costs will go down so, just very evasive

Oh maybe that's how I know about it! Definitely heard about it on ILX. And if you were flying Delta they have both, that's where I watched them. Also, yes, Buttigieg, who I like a lot in general, was being a prick tonight, buying into a "but taxes" narrative on health care that he's too smart to fall for. (By which I mean -- he's not beating up Warren with that because he believes it, he's beating up Warren with that because he cynically and perhaps correctly thinks it helps him at her expense.)

drinking some scotch and starting to drift, not sure I can stick with this much longer

she doesn't need to say "fuck yeah, I'll raise your taxes!" but she needs a more direct answer

it's the you're old and/or dying portion of the debate

xpost not delta, the oneworld airlines.

I hate how taxes are such a bogeyman.

america

did warren just say "shit"

she's finally going after the field and making a case for herself

I do think that any public company or any private company over a certain value should be required to have a funeral plan that if they majorly fuck up, like Purdue, they have to unwind and distribute all assets esp since we want to treat corporations like people.
