kLOLOLOLOLbuchar

This is so fucking boring

chevy. the vehicle of choice for generations. and for generations to come. chevy cruze. the car of presidential candidates. chevy.

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.

did warren just say "shit"

I just lolled very hard imagining Warren going full Clay Davis

haha, I totally had the same thought

Warren definitely said "By Golly" earlier in the debate

this argument about the Twitter account is so stupid

Could Biden possibly answer a question without the phrase "here's the deal"?

lookit

"look." favored by both bernie & obama iirc

I've a friend who by October 2008 had mastered that Obama debate technique of holding a hand out to interrupt the moderator: Waitwaitwaitwait. *emphatic voice* Look.

fortunately my stream froze just as julian castro was about to talk about ellen degeneres and george bush

🚨SCOOP with @WaPoSean: @AOC will endorse @BernieSanders for president.🚨 https://t.co/H1I9woghzG

oh dang who had McCain on the bingo sheet aka Klobuchar CANCELLED

A coup

Klobuchar babbling about McCain dying and anointing her High Queen of Narnia.

AOC endorsement seems more significant to me than whatever these freaks could possibly say in a debate

I expected it tbh

oh daaamn AOC endorses Bernie hell of a scoop that’ll shake things up

the real winner tonight: Chevrolet

audio is out of sync now and it’s freaking me out

wow i can't believe joe biden was friends with john mccain this is very surprising

...aaaaand, it's a wrap. the closing statements all had fine uplifting clichés. I like uplifting clichés. They're touching. Every one of Obama's SOTU addresses had a good assortment of them and I liked them then just as much. But we're good and fucked if the Republicans win a bare Senate majority and McConnell stays in power.
