WAAF Klobs is fucking terrible. How the fuck does anyone with a brain cell listen to her and think she should be President?

THE KLOB JUST GOT TEN FEET HIGHER

@Trolly

Tell me you wouldn’t want to have a beer with Klob

If she was 30 years younger and a different person I would.

From WaPo’s live updates:

Buttigieg framed his candidacy as a rejection of “trying to fall back on the familiar” and of “dividing people with a politics that says if you don’t go all the way to the edge, it doesn’t count.”

Sorry, but is he trying to say that being a milquetoast centrist is a rejection of “trying to fall back on the familiar”? Like, that isn’t what we’ve been spoonfed by Democrats for the last 30 years?

he’s trying to say a bunch of malarkey

Having a beer with Klob would mean watching her drink her beer and yours.

Then she’d throw the beer mugs at the bartender.

While complaining that you drink shitty beer.

Steyer’s answers were better than Bernie’s and Warren’s on this.

Probably my solid #2 now after Bernie.

[Smacc_25]

I called Steyer my 2nd after the last debate, with the I just want to say Hi Bernie

[WichitaDM]

Ya Bernie’s messaging could be better. I have that thought after every debate. If he just explained we need a mixed system with socialism for stuff we need (health care, education, more income equality, etc) and can still have capitalism for the things we want (hamburgers, cars, etc) and have the best of both worlds it would be simple and he could hit a home run.

I guess that might piss off a few hardcore Chapo level socialists but they are never leaving the fold anyways so who cares.

I thought Pete tanked hard, but I’m admittedly biased.

Was legitimately impressed with Steyer, who I’m predisposed to hate. That guy absolutely crushed this debate.

There are 600 billionaires in the US, so even if 99% are pure evil there would still be 6 “decent” billionaires in the country. I suspect we’re probably looking at one of them in Steyer.

[Smacc_25]

Watching some highlights… Is Warren really crying about other candidates because of PAC’s when she is obviously taking from some kind of PAC too, lol.

Prove me wrong?

Opps sorry Victor, didn’t mean to quote you there…

[anon38180840]

Socialism for the things we need to survive and capitalism for the things we want to live fuller lives is a great way of selling democratic socialism/fully regulated capitalism in America.

@Vict0ar

Seriously fuck all this Steyer love. Dude made his money destroying the environment and funding private prisons.

I sort of feel the same way and it’s why I’ve kept him lower on my list. I just don’t trust a billionaire to handle the problems we currently have in this country with… billionaires…

But I do think there’s a genuine chance Steyer is a good dude who either decided to get dirty to have a bigger impact getting the country cleaned up or who saw the light along the way. He walks and talks like a legit progressive in these debates.

[Smacc_25]

I think Steyer has realised that the country is heading in a direction he does not want to see and has decided to try and make a difference.

I genuinely think some people have touched him and he knows the money he’s sitting on will never be spent, so he will make some available for the good of the poor folks.

@anon38180840

. I just don’t trust a billionaire to handle the problems we currently have in this country with… billionaires

Agreed… Need to watch these dudes 24/7 365

One of the Black leaders they listed as endorsing Pete:

Even though I had had conversations with the [Buttigieg] campaign, it was clear to me, or at least I thought I made it clear to them, that I was a strong Bernie Sanders supporter—actually co-chair of the state, and I was not seeking to endorse their candidate or the plan. But what I had talked about was potentially giving them a quote of support in continuing the conversation, because I do think it’s a very important conversation.

Big rat moves

[anachronistic]

Idk he’s the only guy supporting reparations (among other top top positions he’s taken). I feel pretty pretty pretty pretty good supporting him.

Matthews made his bones working for Moynihan. He’s as eDem as they come

[geewhysee]

Have to say the references to “nibbling at the edges” of things directed towards pete were pretty great.

[anon24898493]

Yeah maybe, or maybe money and power was a bigger priority to him while he was making it and now he has the money to buy a good name.
