Official 2020 Democratic Primary Debate Thread

[storyteller]

@storyteller you doing a writeup of this debate as well

@storyteller looks like that was just a trap question for the progressives last night after all.

again - @storyteller, your thoughts?

I've gotta watch the last hour and a half before I can say much. So far this is a trip to watch, these cats all came out with planned attacks. I'm listening to Biden and Booker argue over criminal justice right now and I'm pretty amazed at how they're going at each others' records...the only problem is it's a lot of backtracking rather than speaking about actual policies for the future.

 

[the next guy]

awful hot take and you're saying what that Trump's history on criminal justice is good?



please spare me

No but the optics matter bruh...

 

[the next guy]

Trolls target online polls following first Democratic presidential debate

I guess this will be the excuse when Kamala drops 5 pts on Tuesday.

Edit: you guys

that's my old school early 00's comedy central.

That's not even close to true. Obama was in the race forever before Black voters went to him. I don't think he even took the lead in polling with Black voters until he won the Iowa primary and proved he actually had a shot to take out Clinton. Even after his poll numbers with Black voters skyrocked after that Iowa win (he was still trailing in South Carolina in December) he still only got 78% of the Black voters in the South Carolina primary.




I tell people this all the time. Anyone who tries to make a universal prediction based on individual identity ("Americans would never vote for a XXXX") is talking out their ass. You don't have a clue what people will do in any particular election until you know the actual candidate and the actual historical context.

Don’t @ me fam... I said black folk pushed him over the top after the slick shyt Clinton said which was before the SC primary..

America will not vote for a female president

 

[NY's #1 Draft Pick]

you in your feelings breh relax, warren gets zero support from black voters and until biden fukks up sanders not getting any either




Sanders does good with Latinos tho

You’re lying again. Every time they interview young black voters especially women they always side with warren. Pay attention.

 

[NY's #1 Draft Pick]

I don’t mind tulsi or yang but when i see right wingers cape for these candidates it gets a little fishy. I wonder what’s their aim by backing these candidates

You brehs should be thinking this too.

 

[FAH1223]

Listening to CSPAN radio

These Republican callers no shid you’re voting for Trump

 

[#1 pick]

Been arguing for this since the beginning of the race. Bernie and Warren should be riding with each other until the moment one of them is clearly out of the running, then whoever goes out needs to throw on the cape for the other one, and all their supporters should follow suit. I just don't see how you could support either one of them and then claim that Biden, Harris, Buttigieg, whatever is your backup plan.





Name a single candidate that Black voters actually like better than Bernie.

The only one polling higher is Biden, and he has the worst history and least pro-Black policies of the whole group. Literally the only shyt he has going for him is that he was Obama's VP and a lot of Black folk are scared that Trump can't be beat unless Dems nominate someone who's damn near halfway to him.

Bernie ain't liked by Black America either. It's Williamson, Biden or Warren who BP like. Maybe Booker and Harris cause they are seen as Black but clearly not Bernie. Hardly anyone Black likes him

Black ppl don’t get down wit Warren either.

ESPECIALLY southern blacks.

This is a myth. Your boy Biden is riding on Obama coattails and once warren wins Iowa like Obama did the southern black vote will go to warren.

Edit: you guys

She looks wild crazy trying to come at him as if he was some anti-woman candidate.
