I'm glad they are just skipping the opening (and closing?) statements, they're such a waste of time.

We need to avoid nominating somebody's who divisive, like the person who got the most votes.

If Steyer had jumped into the race explicitly to run interference for Bernie, what would he be doing differently?

The Hunter Biden stuff has the same feel as "but her emails." Legally it's bunk and Trump is just hammering hypocritically on it... but it's a really lovely thing that only the rich would get away with and it's going to irk regular people.

This seems like a surprisingly decent debate? Not even that slanted against Bernie compared to previous debates

The questions critical of each candidate and probing at their weaknesses/contradictions are really solid and fair, yeah.

My favorite thing about biden is when he says his times about to be up so he can stop talking. He has to know he can barely speak.

It reminds me of how my grandpa during cancer treatments got very Alheimer-y (he's better now) and was really obsessed with following rules and guidelines. Washing hands for 10 seconds, stuff like that.

klobuchar is really boring, but i get the impression that she can be very intimidating. what i'm saying is, i think she might be a match for trump as a bully

She's pretty poo poo as a candidate, but she's the only one left aside from Bernie who I'd give better than even odds on beating Trump. (Assuming a generic team, when in reality she'd probably be saddled with Hillary dead-enders.)

Yeah there's no point. He's not a threat anymore.

Negative campaigning hurts the deliverer as well as the target. It's a scorched earth tactic, and Bernie doesn't need to go scorched earth on a candidate who's self immolating.

none of the candidates we currently have are well equipped to discuss Asian American issues imo, especially not in a way that will resonate with the demographic. politicians focus on black and Latino people bcs they have a long history of being represented in mainstream American debates about race inequality in a way that Asian Americans don't, bcs the latter are treated like model minorities most of the time regardless of actual conditions. it's dumb and should change

Like so many, you're erasing Warren's 1/2048 Polynesian heritage.

Since this may be his last debate, Yang is pretty good at bring up left-field but important points, like the loss of local journalists. Somebody like 20 pages back was saying he might be a good moderator/question writer and I'd like to see that.

Yang sucks in a lot of ways but aside from Bernie he seems like the only person there who's an actual loving human. Like you 100% should not vote based on 'who you'd have a beer with' but at least him having some kinda weird but actually not bad talking points like that reminds me that of all the joke candidates this cycle he's the one I'm least annoyed to see at this point.

Yeah, I think his dumb policy on UBI being a replacement for public aid rather than a supplement isn't ghoulish, just stupid. I'm much more willing to forgive stupid. I'd probably enjoy hanging out with Yang.
