Democratic Primary Debates

Have y’all noticed Kamala’s in the penalty box?

My TV went to standby when Bennett was talking :grin:

Loving BDB’s give no fucks attitude. Yang and Castro also pretty good with limited time.

Inslee decent but boring. Kamala did well, but waaaaay too much time.

Booker was fine in spots.

Get Gillibrand and Tulsi off the stage immediately.

Leave Biden and Bennet there as punching bags.

Their trying to make it into a sporting event, playing the national anthem, color guard and this garbage. Don’t remember any of this in the Nixon/JFK footage.

More than an hour into the debate, moderators have yet to ask candidates about the climate crisis.

They spent most of the time on health care, before moving to immigration, in a pattern previous debates have followed.

Only Jay Inslee has even mentioned climate. He dedicated his entire opening statement to rising global temperatures and the serious threats they pose to America.

“If we make defeating the climate crisis the top priority of the United State we will have a fighting chance to save ourselves and our childrens’ future. It has to be our top priority,” Inslee said, touting his plans for a national mobilization toward clean energy. “We are at a tipping point and whether we shrink from this challenge or rise to it is the vital question of our time.”

A recent Pew poll notes Democrats see climate change as the most important foreign policy issue: “Among seven global issues included in a new survey, climate change ranks as the top international threat among Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents (84% say it is major threat) and the lowest-ranked threat among Republicans and Republican leaners (27%).”

Somehow, per 538, Inslee has gotten in even fewer words than Yang.

I actually don’t know who’s winning this debate.

Warren

Oh look, we fixed our mics.

This is gonna get ugly

Booker looks like he wants to punch Joe.

The protesters?

It’s more about who is losing than who is winning.

I want to punch Joe

Thanks to you mother fucker!

I actually think Inslee’s been doing pretty good with how limited his time has been
