Official 2020 Democratic Primary Debate Thread

[New Jeruzalem Journalist]

Fukk Bloomberg all day everyday, but I think some of y'all are writing his epitaph a bit premature.

He's not going anywhere anytime soon and is still very much a problem moving forward in this election.

 

[StatUS]

Biggest story of the night should be every candidate except Sanders basically agreeing to subvert the will of the people if it came down to it.

Good luck Democrats, I guess.

 

[DEAD7]

The worst argument I keep hearing about concerning M4A is that it won't pass so it's foolish to support Bernie or anyone in favor of that policy.

Think about that for a second. Their argument is that you shouldn't vote for the candidate who is going to advocate for what you want because other voters or members of congress might not want it.

I wish that energy was kept when it came to reparations.

Warren for a lot of it, Bernie had his moments throughout, and Biden was after him for a lot of the night and had the face everytime Bloomberg spoke. Biden also basically called out Bloomberg for opposing Obama for much of his term.

Was it enough?

 

[jj23]

One of the few times he speaks little bit of the truth

To be fair, Bloomberg probably would have won the year Trump ran if he had run as a Republican.

Warren was dripping bombs like Tyson!!!

Bloomberg looks like he is contemplating ordering a hit on her ass....

 

[Wild self]

bloomberg gonna support trump after this

That would be some other shyt, if Bloomberg dropped out of the race and endorsed Trump.

MSNBC would be in shambles.

 

[AAKing23]

Liz showed out tonight, WarrenGang we ain't dead yet

 

[Wild self]

So the rich don't control every first world nation in the world? Guess what they have universal healthcare. Not everyone is on some coward shyt bowing to rich people. Sorry.

No one thinks of The French Revolution!

But people are cowards and want to be in the position to exploit the less fortunate.

Did y'all forget Bernie's stance from 2016?

Bernie Sanders Vows Fight to Convention as Hillary Clinton Wins a Primary

Bruh, Bernie didn’t step down peacefully in 2016 when Hilary had the support of the party. Don’t be a hypocrite.

to be fair, the script was flipped in 2016

Some Bernie people thought that his much stronger polling and other outside factors could make the superdelegates en masse give him the nomination over Hillary even though she won more votes

Its up to Bernie to win big

In 2016, super delegates cast their votes before the convention. The vast majority were for Hillary. Even in states like Washington and Colorado where Bernie won the state, ALL the super delegates were voting Hillary. The media was including the super delegates in the vote totals to make Hillary's lead look bigger than it was with actual voter delegates. That's why he was saying that shyt.

Did you guys forget what a controversy that was and why the super delegate process has changed this year?

https://www.nytimes.com/politics/fi...hould-follow-voters-will-in-landslide-states/

Mr. Sanders’s push for superdelegates comes as he fights to remain viable after a string of losses last week and a sharp drop in fundraising in April. Mr. Sanders has the support of 39 superdelegates, while 520 have said they will support Mrs. Clinton. She also leads him in pledged delegates, 1,663 to 1,367, giving her a total lead of 2,183 to 1,406. It takes 2,383 total delegates to secure the nomination.

Mr. Sanders expressed frustration that Mrs. Clinton had won superdelegates even in states where he won the primary. In Washington State, where he won almost 73 percent of the vote, Mrs. Clinton has 10 superdelegates while he has none. In Colorado, Mr. Sanders won 59 percent of the vote, but again Mrs. Clinton has 10 superdelegates from that state and he has none. Sanders aides handed out a list showing similar situations in states like New Hampshire, Kansas and Maine where he won more votes but has fewer superdelegates than his rival.

“If I win a state with 70 percent of the vote, you know what? I think I am entitled to those superdelegates,” Mr. Sanders said. “I think the superdelegates should reflect what the people of the state want, and that’s true for Hillary Clinton as well.”

That's a different situation than this year.

 

[Regular_P]

Trump supporters will be galvanized regardless. Bloomberg would just depress Democratic turnout.

He's in the race to try to help Trump win. If he really wanted dipshyt out, he would have continued to identify as a Republican like he'd been all his life and ran as an independent to siphon votes away from him. He's a trojan horse for the Republican party.

Klobuchar gonna go home and beat the shyt out of her husband tonight
