Your next 2020 Democratic presidential primary thread: Now we're serious

A shitstorm, Alfred

wow I’m so glad they decided to bring up this important topic (soda ban)

If you walk around any supermarket and tabulate the amount of shelf space devoted to soda, and look at the market capitalization of Coca Cola Corporation and PepsiCo, you'll see that the soda ban, as they say, resonates.

soda fuckin sucks

soda’s a good poster

soda is a good wedge issue. raging emotional reactions on all sides.

man, i remember when people were stroking out on stoops about the soda ban.

Soda van?

Watched the first hour or so of this shitshow, though I kept muting it almost every time someone who wasn't Sanders or Warren was talking. Buttigeig and Klobuchar are both in "would you just fucking drop out and fuck off already" territory for me now. I didn't realize the audience was made up of rich scumbags — I thought the people booing whenever Warren went after Bloomberg were actually booing Bloomberg. Oh, well.

If you're not an alcoholic, just drink tea with lunch and wine with dinner.

I just drink like. Four liters of water a day.

It’s unnecessary.

I totally thought Bloomberg was going to answer this pulling troops out question by talking about the difficulties of laying off staff at Bloomberg LP.

Orange juice for breakfast, unsweetened iced tea (I favor Pureleaf) or Coke Zero at other meals. I don't drink alcohol.

Soda van?

Lisa needs braces

It sounded at times like Bloomberg had a personal cheering section - did they do any crowd shots, did his people have a banner?

I can't remember the last time I bought a soda.

I am very much only water and coffee/tea. (and alcohol).

otm

I've replaced coke with Topo Chico but all the glass bottles make my recycling sound like I'm a raging alcoholic.

I like a coke or a tonic water sometimes just to mix it up. Otherwise it’s coffee, water and beer.

all my alcohol bottles make my recycling sound like I'm a raging alcoholic. xpost.

what kind of perverted freak would pay $1700 to see a presidential debate in person

"i get to be in the same room as tom steyer!"

the same kind of ppl who need to be heavily taxed so that ppl can live with dignity

Someone for whom $1700 is like finding a quarter in my center console.

Actually, I'd probably be more excited by that quarter than the sickos at the debate.

lol Biden got super-mad that Bernie talked about Obama and tried to shout him down "I TALKED TO OBAMA--"

just 14 more quarters and you can do a load of washing

so biden still hasn't caught any bullets right? jfc

just changed my vote, Amy Klobuchar says Amy Klobuchar is Donald Trump's worst nightmare

Biden shoots himself in the foot too often for anyone to bother aiming at him

Who the fuck approved a plan to sell all the tickets to rich people? The DNC, I guess? And even if you did that, why not ask them to not clap or cheer? Why let an audience that doesn’t represent the people distort the perception of the candidates with their booing?

MASSIVE CHEERS FOR CIVILITY

see karl your first mistake is thinking that the people setting the prices think a person who can pay that much for a debate ticket is 'rich'

how much can one banana cost michael? $1700?

i should message all these candidates' campaigns to let them know that www.eatadick.com is still available.

i actually just purchased eatadick.com

you're gonna fund your retirement with all these great domain squats

I need some mdma after this spectacle. So much bile has been stirred up

xpost fine. I will suggest eatalasagna.com instead.

omg / lol at front-row ticket buyers shaking hands with Biden and passing up torn flyers to get signed

i don't know why i lied about purchasing eatadick.com. i got caught up in the thought of how great it would be to own it, but i just can't take on a new domain right now

tired: please clap
wired: I'll pay you to clap

xpost delegate, man, delegate.

("pay to clap" is more accurate, but)

such a great Bad Brains tune

i don't know why i lied about purchasing eatadick.com. i got caught up in the thought of how great it would be to own it, but i just can't take on a new domain right now

can I recommend partaking in a nice savory dick instead

I learned my lesson after buying republicanerotica.com in 2016, I couldn't bring myself to pay people on fiverr for Ted Cruz erotica

I had fuckmichelebachmann.com but never developed it. good thing, realized later some might have mistaken it for a very different site than I would have intended
