It didn't move the needle on non-white voters because they weren't willing to overlook his racism in favor of his faux populism. Yeah, from what I recall Hillary got a polling bump after every debate but it always evaporated after a couple weeks and the candidates regressed to their mean.

If my choices are Evil (won 24 states) and Lesser Evil (also won 24 states) and Best Candidate (hasn't performed above 10% in any primary) I'm going to vote for Lesser Evil. Why pre-metagame your strategic voting to this insane a degree? I just don't get it, at all, and I never will.

Most people agree that the two best candidates in last night's debate won it.(Bernie, Warren). I think they did too. Also debates don't really do much. Anybody who enjoys them beyond a passing burn or two and thinks they matter can be laughed at.

I'm honestly not convinced Ryan didn't just slip over from Veep or Parks & Rec's universes. Between Williamson, him, and Bullock honestly half the time that debate just felt like parody.

Hieronymous Alloy posted:Yeah, from what I recall Hillary got a polling bump after every debate but it always evaporated after a couple weeks and the candidates regressed to their mean. The answer that no one wants to accept is that debates do matter, but they aren't the only thing that matters. For instance, the FBI director telling the world that your opponent is once again under investigation tends to overshadow your performing like a coked up chimp in the debates.

I was at first a little disappointed that Sanders and Warren were sharing the stage without Biden, but I think this outcome actually turned out ideal. They'll have their chance to attack Biden in later debates but for now being the stars of the show and just dunking on conservative dweebs like Delaney and Ryan and shredding their policies and talking points is a good outcome.

lmao https://twitter.com/nkulw/status/1156626391938609152 quote:Sarah Vowell (3/10) — When Senators Warren and Sanders dismissed legitimate critiques of their similar health plans, particularly the radical proposal of abolishing private health insurance, as “Republican talking points,” I was enraged to a degree that I cannot adequately describe in a family newspaper. An apology would be nice. is she trolling? every answer in here is bizarre.

Groovelord Neato posted:lmao Liz Mair (5/10) — Sanders made the same mistake Warren did: punching down. But he’s also far less policy fluent than she is, and he gets a lower mark as a result. Like Warren, Sanders got fairly pinned on banning private health insurance and no one other than unions will like his trade answer. I’m also convinced the “yelling grandpa” act is beginning to wear thin, and it was very much on display tonight.

Jaxyon posted:Trump looked like a lost moron at the debates, and also whomever "slaughtered" whomever debates is always just who you thought was going to win and debates are meaningless. Sorry to disagree. Trump's walking to Clinton was masterful and Clinton missed the opportunity of a lifetime to say ... "No, Mr. Trump ... don't even try to grab MY PUSSY."

Some of that worked. I would personally say he didn't do a great job of presenting himself beyond that point bar his disconcerting stance on nukes.

I accidentally posted this in the USPOL thread because Tim Ryan chat was going on over there, but here's Tim's lovely rear end email to go with that lovely rear end tweet. This whole thing is so stupid that I just HAD to look up who Tim Ryan's campaign manager was, that would let this thing happen. Turns out I know him. You'll never guess why his campaign manager wants to go after Bernie. You guess it! He's rich as gently caress!

Maureen Dowd on Marianne Williamson posted:Maureen Dowd (10/10) — Sneer if you will, but a call for a little spiritual healing is in order in the unspiritual, racist, hate-filled era of Donald Trump. As Jaboukie Young-White, a “Daily Show” correspondent, tweeted, Williamson is about to be the first president to take the oath of office with her hand on a stack of Tarot cards. Debates are about the visceral, and Williamson has that down. Not since Admiral James Stockdale, a fan of the Stoic philosophers, opened the vice presidential debate in 1992 by asking “Who am I, why am I here?” has there been a line as arresting as this one by the philosopher of love: “If you think any of this wonkiness is going to deal with this dark psychic force of the collectivized hatred that this president is bringing up in this country, then I’m afraid that the Democrats are going to see some very dark days.” lolwhat.

Helsing posted:Voters in Michigan were not Trump's "base" they were supposed to be bricks in the Blue Wall that made his victory impossible. Almost half of Michigan votes Republican. Trump's base is "white people". Trump won Michigan by a tiny tiny margin and the biggest upset came from increased turnout of white people. There are plenty of "economically anxious" voters in Michigan, but for some reason the ones who bought into Trump were almost entirely white. Must be his populist messaging, huh.
