Y’all said the same thing after the first debate, he has since regained whatever he lost (plus more) at this point.

We at least we know tomorrow is make or break for Kamala lol.

 

[LurkMoar]

Not all those white people are rich

compared to everyone else they are, look at the numbers its not even close.

 

[King Kreole]

Look at this dumb smug schmuck piece of shyt Jake Tapper pat himself on the back for predicting Amy would pivot away from attacking Liz or Bernie. This is all a game to these fukkers.

I had the same list but I flipped Beto and Bullock. I only want to see the top 5 moving forward. Dems got some damn good candidates.

 

[Paper Boi]

Saw Delaney tending on twitter for the wrong reason.

hopefully they all realize his DMs are open too.

i told that cracka too fukk off.

prolly gonna get banned for blue checkmark harassment.

 

[NkrumahWasRight Is Wrong]

It's the most critical issue imo.

Perhaps but if he continues to do it so much hes going to turn himself into a one trick pony to voters and id wager that some voters see him as that already.

Anyone considering bernie already knows his stance on healthcare. He desperately needs to show more depth. Hes made some inroads with that compared to 2016 but he needs to continue to do so to have a true chance of winning

You can argue its not a race, but that doesn't change the disparate impact of equally canceling the debt.

It provides a larger economic stimulus to white America than black America, which will effectively push black people down further socioeconomically. Especially considering whites will still have easier access to jobs and credit.

Obviously anyone with student loan debt will benefit but the poorest people will benefit the least, and unfortunately that demographic pretty consistently is black America

America has too much debt, period.

There’s going to be a reckoning. And it’s coming soon. Student debt is the worst because you can’t even declare bankruptcy on them (thanks Senator Joe Biden).

We also have subprime auto loans crisis and real estate bubbles formed in many places.

 

[#1 pick]

I think Klobuchar is right on this, people in here don't seem to think so though

She is right, it's doesn't come close to help broke can't finish brehs and brehettes who I knew a lot of. This really is a boost to millennials whites. It helps my wife and ppl like her. Doesn't really help me. Maybe if they paid my CC debt

 

[Hood Critic]

thecoli's overall lack of being able to understand the big picture really saddens me.

Student loan debt weighs more heavily on students of color than on their white counterparts.

An estimated 86.8% of black students borrow federal student loans to attend a four-year public college, as opposed to 59.9% of white students, according to the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES).

With rising tuition costs outpacing inflation and wage growth, many students are struggling to afford college. In fact, about 44 million Americans owe over $1.48 trillion in student loan debt.

But according to our in-depth analysis of data from Demos and NCES, black and Hispanic students are paying more when it comes to student loans than white students.

Being able to put all of these students of color into the professional workforce without tearing away any hope of building any kind of wealth will have a long term positive impact for people of color.

Agreed. He has good ideas on his site, he should talk about those even more. Stop letting Biden dicate the terms of the race here.

 

[AndroidHero]

Delaney, Hickenlooper, Bullock and Ryan all need to drop out after tonight. Klobuchar probably should too.

I still think Beto needs to drop out and run for the other Texas seat in the Senate for 2020.

Beto could actually beat Cruz if he decided to run again, I don't know why he is bothering to run for president.

Poll: Beto O'Rourke leads 2020 Democrats in Texas by 3 points, followed by Biden

 

[duckbutta]

July 2019 breh, let's check back next year.

Exactly...I expect the reparations talk to get bigger in the next year meaning bernie has to change his tune or double down on side stepping it...and I expect him to do number two...

 

[tru_m.a.c]

It's true, they really need to come up with an impartial commission or something for these debate questions because 85% of them were

an impartial committee is just going to be a bunch of white men and women who believe in Reaganism but voted for Obama

 

[duckbutta]

Bernie is polling the best of everyone on healthcare. He’s leaning into it.

We talking about "polling" more than a year before an election

Come on breh did the last presidential election teach you anything about "polling"
