Watching some of the post-debate stuff and, man... there is an EXTREMELY disingenuous coordination between CNN and the moderate democrats to hammer the elimination of private insurance over and over and over again. As I write this they're grilling him on it now after having asked Klobuchar about it.

There is no private insurance plan for any union worker anywhere that is better than Medicare. If you make Medicare accessible for everyone then everyone suddenly has better insurance. This is apparent to anyone who thinks about it for even a second.

...now Cooper has used the word revolution three times while talking to Sanders. What the hell?

sure is a lot of ideology going on here

I’ve known filler since he was a high school student who worked for me, He is certainly not an antiSemite or a Holocaust denier. He is a provocateur who sometimes does foolish things to make a point. He has apologized for his insensitive misuse of the Holocaust to test censorship and has promised never again to do anything like that. I take him at his word.

Making myself nervous by drawing parallels between Biden 2020 and Trump 2016: rambling white guy who keeps making (what we think are) gaffes, with a track record that goes against the current party position on several issues, whose support skews very old, and keeps leading the polls while people wait for him to collapse.

Funniest part is that Reagan had this heated gamer moment because the UN gave China's vote to the government that was actually in charge of China.

Tulsi is more Astra Militarum than the Adepta Sororitas' Orders Militant imo. I will not be reading replies.
"The Astra Militarum, also known as the Imperial Guard in colloquial Low Gothic (...)"

That's all I needed to know, thanks.

Games Workshop changed the name because they couldn't slather Imperial Guard in intellectual property rights claims.

That was me saying no to the inevitable insomnia-fueled wiki binge, just in case that came off weird.

As redundant as this post, in retrospect...

I saw that tally, it really didn't feel that way. It felt like Delaney was a part of every single back and forth. Warren did go over her time a lot though, she has some kind of jedi mind trick where the moderators let her keep going whereas they cut other people off.

I mean, we'll see how the general public reacts when new polls roll out in a couple of weeks, but from my, albeit biased, viewpoint Team Progressives dunked on everyone else. But if you ask someone like Jennifer Rubin she'll tell you that Delaney "beat Bernie over M4A like a drum."
