Should just be Bernie Waren and Biden.

3035

and YANG

3036

Oh god, the NYT is running this debate, it’s going to be a dumpster fire.

3037

I didn’t know this but it’s one more excellent reason not to watch. I already had several, like not wanting to waste 3 hours of my life on a shitty soundbite contest.

How many questions do you think will be about the subversion of free speech on college campuses by SJWs?

I’m predicting at least 20% of the debate will be dedicated to BUT HOW WILL YOU PAY FOR IT

The debate will possibly be held in a suburban Ohio diner.

Edit: Twitter stole my joke

I’ll tune in for any potential Castro burns. I was sad to miss those in real time last go around.

Can’t wait to see what gimmick Yang throws out there this time to try to stay relevant.

I would be fine with that trio + Pete / Harris until the first states vote, at least they are all above 5%. I imagine that’s what it will probably look like by time the first states vote regardless.

Actually Yang will probably sneak in and probably Beto as well. I’m fine with Yang sticking in as long as possible so we get more discussion about UBI. Maybe they’ll start asking other candidates about it eventually.

He’s very relevant if only because the establishment (not voters) want nothing more than to completely ignore him

3048

The 3 candidates I’m hoping to see gain some ground tonight are Yang, Gabbard, and Sanders. These are the only 3 afaik who aren’t embedded in the establishment. Sanders and Gabbard need to take the gloves off and call out Warren for approving Trump’s military budget. Pin her down on why she, as such a progressive, endorsed HRC in 2016 instead of Sanders (who’s proposals she’d like everyone to believe are practically identical to hers), and why she’s STILL refusing to say “single payer”, or won’t eliminate college and medical debt

Why?!

I think the debate formats are dumb, not the number of candidates

Because HRC was the nominee? She stayed out of it until the winner of the primary had been called.

3052

Yeah Cactus’s Warren hate is totally misplaced. Her being the nominee is literally the best case scenario. Fucking Bernie Bro’s :unamused:

It’s probably going to be Warren and Warren might beat Trump. It’s very, very far from the best-case scenario imo.
