Democrazy posted:Despite having never given any money to a candidate before this cycle, today is payday, and I kinda wanna give to Marianne Williamson. The second debate is going to have fewer people on stage at a time, so that means they'll all get more time to talk. I really want to see a debate where Marianne gets more time to talk and the moderators give the other candidates follow up questions based on what she said

I think there's a miscommunication going on. I really doubt that anybody here is actually going to vote for Williamson in the primary. We're all Bernie voters or Warren nerds. But, a lot of people still appreciate Williamson as a presence in the debate. We can talk about how she has good individual policies, and others can counter with her bad policies, and so on, but I don't think that's what's really motivating people to like her. I think the reason people like her is that not only does she come across as a genuinely good person on stage next to the usual gaggle of loving robots, but she actually talks about emotions. For far too long, Democrats have treated politics like some miserable debate for nerds where they all compete to to be the most bi-partisanly reasonable. So when a woman who seems like she actually cares about things is on stage next to goddamn Buttigieg and starts talking about how Trump has gotten into all of our brains and made us feel worse, gently caress yeah we like her! We want her to stay on that stage, to keep addressing the actual psychic damage done by the Trump administration. You guys can be like "oh, look at her trade policy proposal, it doesn't address the blugdbb..." all you want, Williamson is actually talking about the daily mental assault that living under the Trump administration is. That's why we like her. I'm not going to vote for her, but I like her and I want her to stay on that debate stage long after Delany and Beto and Tim.... I wanna say Reynolds? are gone.

It's also important to remember that the Democrat primary has always involved forgiving horrible monstrous politicians their many crimes just because they're better than the Republican opponent.

How can all the sub 1% candidates justify staying in? It's one thing for Marianne or Yang, where they genuinely have something different to say. But Delaney? Bennet? They have nothing to offer to anyone.

If the DNC was smart, which they aren't, they would encourage everyone to stay in as long as possible. If there's 20 fuckers on the stage and Bernie only gets to talk in 30 second increments, that really fucks him over.

Employers would pay less for their employees healthcare under a single payer system, that's absolutely true. However, there would be other less tangible costs for employers. The biggest one being that employees would have more freedom to leave their jobs. Under the current system if you have good healthcare through your job, that's a massive incentive to stay in your job, no matter how miserable it is or how much you might want to do something else. If we moved to a single payer system, that incentive would be gone.

Either Bernie will have won and Mayor Pete style robots will no longer be leaders in the Democrat party, Trump will have won and there will no longer even be the illusion of free elections in a bunch of states so who cares, or Harris will have won, served one term, and been replaced by a King/Crenshaw ticket after which elections are formally canceled

Luckyellow posted:One thing that I quite don't understand. I keep hearing that all of the other sub 1% polling candidates are just doing it for book deals. How does that work exactly? They aren't doing it for book deals, they're doing it as a book tour. I think basically any representative or Senator can get a book deal, but nobody buys them unless they run for president. And even then, nobody reads them. Barack Obama eating a dog and Hillary Clinton owning slaves were stories that came out after their respective elections, despite the fact that both of those stories were in the books the candidates wrote and published well before the election

Maybe if Gravel wanted to go to the debate, he could've made literally a single public appearance anywhere, or done literally even a single rally.
