Democratic Primary Debates

fuck my life

Here’s the thing. Technically, Cuse is right, but in the real world of first impressions, so is PH. When Castro came after Biden, there was literally a collective gasp and immediate cries of foul against Castro in the audience of 25 people at my debate party…and i don’t think a single one of them is a Biden supporter. The trouble is, that is what everyone remembers, and there’s no indepth analysis or comparing of what was actually said, or talking about plans, etc. It’s just “Castro was a meanie!”

People want M4A, but they also don’t want someone being mean to grandpa.

edit: dammit wookie, you’re faster than me

We all are fine with hitting below the belt on Biden because we are largely anti Biden. A median Dem voter likes Biden, so they won’t like the attack.

Yeah, as for me personally…I honestly don’t care for either of them, but I hate personal attacks, so i find myself siding with the “Castro might have been right, but he was overly mean” side of this. Stick with critiquing policy.

Or look at it this way: what would this forum be saying about Castro if he had done the ageism thing against Bernie?

I would think it’s stupid because Bernie’s memory seems fine.

It’s not ageism to point out Biden struggles to remember simple things mid sentence in nearly every answer.

I get that I have different sensibilities than a lot of other people though, and there’s no point in telling someone they shouldn’t have a certain visceral reaction to something like that.

Do you have other democratic debate related stuff you’d like to discuss that we’re clogging the thread with this discussion and preventing?

Sure seems like zero cost, ever, at point of care would be a lot easier than whatever the fuck is being argued about itt but idk

that seems to be the end goal for most of them except maybe Biden and Klob, so yeah, Castro has an argument. I think the initial feeling was more about the way he was attacking not, the why.

Except any real analytical site shows Castro wasn’t being accurate. I already cited a couple of them. If you can find one where . I know I know Polifacts ABC CNN et al are the Establishment shoving Biden down our throats yadda yadda yadda. People here seem to forget you actually need to be right when you throw jabs on the debate stage.

It’s not so much the topic as the tone. If others are really enjoying the “Fuck you”, “No, fuck you”, “Oh no no no, fuck you”, then I’ll step out and leave ya’ll to it.

Amen. It’s honestly not healthy.

To those concerned with the tone and feeling of Castro attacking Biden, my question is: are we really going to pretend Biden won’t get totally mocked and ridiculed by Trump? Are we really going to pretend that Biden is of sound mind and suited to be president in terms of his apparent cognitive ability in 2019?

I’m not concerned with it and agree with you completely, ignore Pablo.

Is it a coincidence that Pablo was always the first to show up literally every single time and stan for Nun when he started getting ganged up on and now went from almost never posting to posting in every thread in a very Nun like way now that Nun is “retired”?

Probably just a coincidence. Carry on.

No, you’re just a clown poster. Your take in the Trump thread as an example (lol at having to say you were drunk). You also literally can’t keep peoples name out of your mouth because you’re nothing but a /b/tard level troll.

@zikzak if you wanna change of tones this is the type of shit that needs to be handled.
