Democratic Primary Debates

Best and most reasonable hope is for Biden to be his own worst enemy.

Bernies development office has been calling me and leaving van about my donations, asking if I had any concerns, etc. never responded before but yesterday I left a message saying I wanted him to go hard

He wonā€™t and thatā€™s a reason heā€™s losing but heā€™s being too damn nice. Calling Biden his friend all the time. I donā€™t give a fuck if they are friendly in the halls, anyone who wants to keep 10 million uninsured and bomb Iraq is not a friend in this context

And I shouldnā€™t have to fucking explain this to Bernie

IDK, this will be heads up and Biden likes to pick fights. Bernie knows this is his last shot. He will swing hard with whatever strategy he has settled on. If I didnā€™t believe he deserves the slightest benefit of the doubt here, he wouldnā€™t deserve my vote. And I say that regardless of whether he wins the nom or the general.

He wonā€™t mention Bidenā€™s dementia but heā€™ll hammer him on Iraq, healthcare, crime bill, Anita Hill, all the hits. I just hope Bernie is feeling spry, he didnā€™t sound great yesterday

No idea how Iā€™ll manage to keep up with this thread AND the covid thread tonight, but Iā€™m in.

Bernie pulls out a pen and paper and tells Joe to draw a clock.

Bernie already announced what heā€™s going to ask Joe Biden. They are not gotcha attacks. They are questions meant to push Biden to the left and give him an opportunity to extend an olive branch to the progressive movement, thereby setting up Bernieā€™s endorsement in the general (shill!).

ETA: https://youtu.be/iGu2ciAVcPY

31:35 for him announcing the questions.

I mean i was giving him the benefit of the doubt before but his rhetoric since getting hu with Biden has been so weak. He shouldnā€™t be calling him his friend at all.

More importantly than the friend thing he is also saying Biden can beat Trump which is just fuckin political malpractice

I donā€™t have any counter to that. Itā€™s the final hour is all Iā€™m saying. Just going to cross my fingers and hope Bernie knows better than me or just flat out gets lucky tonight.

well nothing else on

Anyone have a link for an online stream?

should be available on cnn.com without any login

IMO Bernie should cede all his time to Biden
