something strikes me as really specious about the moral crux to the free college debate being whether rich kids deserve to get in free too. like...maybe? probably? who fucking cares?

Rich people paying for everyone's college includes everyone, which includes their own kids. Just as everyone gets to drive on the roads.
Doubling down on somehow rich kids getting free college out of this is a dishonest tool intended solely to poison the entire idea rather than any argument with good intent.

The idea that we have a societal expectation that parents will pay for their kids college is fucking backwards in general. Like, they’re fucking adults?

Why did you not list all the winners

Quote

Policy: The most common critique of these presidential debates is that the focus is on personalities, not policies. I hope those critics watched Tuesday night's debate. There was lots and lots of policy -- health care, childcare, foreign policy, climate change -- and very few personality-focused questions. If you were a potential voter tuning into this debate to learn about where the top candidates stand on the major issues of the day, you got what you were looking for.

1990: The back-and-forth between Warren and Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders over whether she was the only person on the stage to beat a Republican incumbent over the past 30 years led to a remarkable amount of debate over how long ago, exactly, it was. Also, speaking of 1990, that got me to thinking about 1990 -- when the Milli Vanilli lip-synching scandal broke (look it up, kids!), "Twin Peaks" was on broadcast TV (still can't believe that happened) and the "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" (Damn you, Shredder!) were all the rage. Man, those were the days.

Chris Cillizza is such a poor man’s Carl Diggler

Joe Molotov · « **Reply #49158 on:** January 15, 2020, 12:44:10 AM »

You’re right, Twin Peaks was the true winner tonight.

Himu · « **Reply #49165 on:** January 15, 2020, 02:01:02 AM »

Didn't say that she shouldn't be mad.

But it feels so manufactured. Crazy story about Liz and Bernie behind doors in 2018 leaked to CNN one day before the debate on CNN, Warren polling is lowering, "Bernie is my friend", supports Sanders during the debate, and then when it's time to shake hands she refuses. Meanwhile CNN can't stop talking about Warren and Sanders not shaking hands and what this entails more than the actual policy brought up during the debate, as if she knew it'd cause drama while saying she wanted to diffuse it.

The messaging is all over the place and feels forced.

I knew they’d find a way to get Bernie and Warren to eat each other somehow, but I didn’t think it’d involve a dramatic on-camera handshake refusal! I needed some of this kinda spicy drama since Riverdale’s been on hiatus.

I feel more strongly about my original pick than before hand.
