Agra you must happy now! Bernie is doing real well. Here’s hoping he comes ahead of Uncle “mommy he touched me” Joe after tomorrow’s.

And yeah, Sanders and Warren are natural Prez/Veep picks.

America NEEDS that to happen.

I'm OK with Warren Veep on the condition she runs again for Prez and gets it later on.

Otherwise, Bernie's too old and not wonky enough. He should be veep.

I know we're fired up from the debate, but by the RCP poll average, Biden's running ahead of Sanders and Warren's combined total. Let's maybe wait on picking out the cabinet.

Its been three years since Trump won though. Nothing is stopping the train. Blame him winning and pulse shooting happening in the same year.

America deserves a debate between Joe Biden and his main progressive critics
Elizabeth Warren versus John Delaney is not the drama we’ve been craving.

By Matthew Yglesia @mattyglesias matt@vox.com Jul 30, 2019, 11:20pm EDT

Most of the standout moments during the Democratic presidential debate on Tuesday night involved Bernie Sanders or Elizabeth Warren teeing off against someone nobody has heard of.

But these exchanges about decriminalizing illegal entry into the United States, replacing union health plans with a new government-run plan, providing public health benefits to unauthorized immigrants, and other topics that pit activist priorities against public opinion are critical to the 2020 primary.

The problem is that the candidates taking the more moderate stance on these issues relative to Warren and Sanders — Tim Ryan, John Delaney, John Hickenlooper, and Steve Bullock — are not even remotely central to the 2020 primary. But that’s not because moderates have become marginal in the Democratic Party. It’s because Joe Biden, who sits at the top of the polls and broadly agrees with Ryan, Delaney, Hickenlooper, and Bullock — wasn’t on the stage. Biden won’t appear until Wednesday night, in the second night of the debate.

So the debate between the current frontrunner and self-proclaimed successor to Barack Obama and his leading critics on the left happened only by proxy. Someday, one hopes, we’ll get a proper debate. But for now we need to wait.

lol calm down

already scheduled for September 12, 2019 and then one per month after

to be fair

Quote from: very end of the article

The central figure is Biden, the progressives are taking potshots at him, and so far, he’s holding them off in opinion polls and dominating in endorsements.

That’s the actual state of the Democratic primary, and it’s difficult for debates to move the conversation forward unless the frontrunner engages with his main critics not on obscure aspects of 1970s civil rights policy but on the big issues of 2020. It didn’t happen in the first debate, and the structure of the second one makes it essentially impossible. That means round three, when the roster will narrow and the format will shift to a single stage, will in most respects be the first real contest of the season.

Tim Ryan didn't put his hand on his heart during the national anthem? Ideally he would've kneeled but politics is about compromising with others; I'm with him.

Marianne Williamson supporters organize 'occult task force'
© Aaron Schwartz
Some supporters of 2020 presidential candidate Marianne Williamson have reportedly organized an "occult task force" on her behalf, however, her campaign has tried to distance itself from such activities.

The person organizing the task force told The Washington Post anonymously that a group of 13 chaos magicians, witches and energy workers were doing synchronized “gestures” to help their candidate gain more visibility in the presidential race and more airtime during Tuesday's Democratic debate.

“The whole orb gang community is tapping into the power of memes to reflect back on, and multiply, the sort of pulsing undercurrents of our collective unconscious,” the person told The Post in an email.

The author and spiritual adviser's campaign, however, has expressed some discomfort over the matter, specifically the association with the world “occultist.”

“I am very, very concerned about the word occultist,” campaign spokeswoman Patricia Ewing told The Post. She said she did not know about the task force.

Quote

The Post also reported that some followers of Williamson call themselves the “orb gang,” posting memes and emojis.

last of the predebates polls is out, this is the highest Delaney has polled ever (at 1% in 5 out of 6 polls... he'd only been above 1% in five polls total before this week) and that's before he got all the debate attention, just from the DROP OUT movement attention

1% of the polled are going to have to double their share of the sample to keep these guys into the next wave of debates, keep jumping between troll candidates!
