Oh for gently caress's sake.

(This was a bum rap but) This will make the way America chaos-dunked on sort-of-old-guy Admiral Stockdale look really tame by comparison. He won't even be aware he's at a debate, he'll wonder why he wasn't dropped at the supermarket like he thought he'd be.

It's possible, but he's on a livestream right now and he seems reasonably sharp. Totally possible that he's just on one of his good days, who knows, but if he's as sharp as he is right this minute, he'll be fine.

He won’t be at the debate unless someone drops out or he gets a couple good polls. He’s the 21st candidate to qualify but only 20 candidates are making it. The tiebreaker is top three polls out of the list of reputable polls the DNC is using. Every other candidate has at least three polls at 1%, he has one.

Yeah see I was wondering about that. Good. The system worked, again. Now tell the Chapo teens to get the gently caress off my lawn.

Well he doesn't buy the story that the guys we have proof did it did it so that's usually a prelude to the Jews Did It thing so it just seemed like the logical next step.

Maybe at the debates he'll tell us what really brought down Building 7.

This guy saying unhinged stuff about Gravel is really sad , Gravel thinks Dick Cheney did 9/11, and he’s not unfounded that America has done tons of false flags.

Gravel hasn’t hurt anybody with imperialism like Biden , Harris , and Warren have .

Yeah, he's not going to do that. Even if he still believes that's true, he's not going to bring it up at the debate because it's completely loving irrelevant 18 years after the fact. He's instead going to talk about modern, relevant issues, like the tremendous harm we're inflicting upon the people in Central and South America.

Dude I love how now the idea is "no, actually we need MORE than the 20 person shitshow we have now!!" because that's the only way Gravel gets in. Sure, 5% and above is worthwhile. But this is a clown car. You aren't going to tantrum me into seeing it any other way. Not when the current criteria lets the Crystal Lady and five redundant white guys get on stage.

But when Biden wins because we were loving around with retired old fossils now instead of having a more reasonable, non-absurd process to select the right candidate and we get him or 4 more years of Trump, don't come crying to me about wasted time dicking around.
