yea when the question is just pure 'who did the best' Harris is the only answer by a mile unless you're super into Castro's now kinda weak looking shiv of Beto. Lol @ Warren at number two purely because 'well I like her and she didn't say a slur so she did great'. Like yea that's how 90% of debate 'analysis' is but there's no way she had anything but an acceptable night compared to Harris going from 'and still for some reason running' to 'lol did you see her own biden'

He's there to go negative on the bad candidates, something Bernie won't do. it didn't help that the weird teens running his entire campaign keep trying to make things about them and making weird 'haha yea I'm going to Oxford but I still wanna join the military after doing ROTC, you know, for woke reasons' comments. That's the problem with a campaign literally run by other people, no one really is getting much of Gravel's messaging because, ya know, he's not doing anything

tylersayten posted:Even though Yang’s UBI is next to poo poo, I strongly advise everyone to read his book The War on Normal People - it’s a loving sobering alarm bell about the coming tidal wave of automation over the next 10 years. This is going to have a PROFOUND affect on politics and daily life. Or read The Future of Work: Robots, AI, and Automation by Darrel West, someone who understands the issues of automation and countless related issues and has actual solutions such as expanding our definition of 'work' to include things like volunteer and community work and parenting and divorcing the idea of being defined by your job from personal fulfillment

Captain_Maclaine posted:Not meaning any insult to her, but "capable of outsmarting Dave Rubin" is a pretty low bar to clear. this is true but most of the candidates would be treating him like he deserved respect. It's not so much 'she's smarter than Dave Rubin', since, yea, we'd be voting for a snail if that was the line, it's that she's one of the few to deal with these freaks by just going 'are you loving stupid?' Also https://twitter.com/MikeDrucker/status/1151703921850769408 she's gonna rip Corey Booker's skin off in her debate I guess.

Main Paineframe posted:Most anti-vaxxers claim they're not anti-vax, though. Jenny McCarthy, for example, says she's not anti-vax, she's "pro-safe-vaccine schedule". Andrew Wakefield, the fraud who faked the original MMR-causes-autism study, claims that he's not anti-vax, he's just concerned about "the safest way in which to deliver these vaccines to children". RFK Jr. says that he's not anti-vax, he just wants to make sure we're using "safe vaccines with robust safety testing" and is worried that we're "forcing pharmaceutical products on unwilling American citizens without understanding the downside risks". And so on, and so forth. Sometimes they're "pro-informed consent". Sometimes they're "vaccine risk aware". They never come out and say they oppose vaccination - they just suggest and insinuate that our current vaccinations, schedules, and systems may not be completely safe and that parents should have more choice about when and how to confront the dangers of vaccines. she literally is not opposed to vaccination though, she literally has nothing in her stuff about stopping or in any way bothering with them, she made a dumb comment off hand but there's nothing actually 'anti-vax' about her

Majorian posted:Yeah they will. Castro needs to break out from the melee so he'll kneecap the frontrunner (still Biden), Harris is going to be playing defense-offense against Biden, Booker is possibly running for Bernie or Warren's VP so he'll be beating up on Biden, Gabbard is definitely going to hit Biden when she gets a word in edgewise, etc. my prediction is that Biden will come out swinging hard because he's proven to be a deeply fragile man and probably is genuinely angry that 'I WAS OBAMA'S VP!!!!' isn't enough to push him to the finish line. If he does that no one will really need to hit him hard since he'll be self destructing, so we'll just be left with Debate 2 being the 'woops all the POC' debate

Yea I actually agree that Booker desperately thinks he's gonna get a job in the Bernie/Warren WH so yea I could see him getting a punch on Biden. He's gotta do something with that manic 'you guys ate the brownies I brought before this right? gently caress just me? poo poo I hosed up' energy and trying to earn some points by suplexing Biden wouldn't be a bad choice. Castro I think is done, he actually got a nice shank on Beto but Harris sucked all the air out of that and I genuinely think those castro freaks think they're both gonna be president still.

yea jackasses will frame any amount of "Senator Sanders, don't you think a WOMAN...like senator Warren...should be president?" "No, I want to be president." as 'SANDERS AND WARREN FINALLY CLASH' but both of them are disciplined and old enough to know until Biden dies there's zero benefit in doing body blows for second place.

the whole 'the economy is good, trump will win on that' is kinda buying into right wing framing, though. The economy sucks rear end, the low unemployment numbers and all are great for economy wonks and rich people and all but for the actual people involved in those numbers they are actually living their lives and seeing 'oh right I still have to work two jobs and haven't got a raise in years and all this other bullshit that keeps wearing down on me'
