don’t forget the 90 minute block set aside for health care!

 

Decent thread here

 

I can't say I'm too surprised Vince Vaughn would be civil with Trump

 

Booker is definitely more deserving of being on the debate stage than Amy, Steyer, or even Yang. His focus on criminal justice was important.

(And he had no shame in directly attacking Biden, which of course is great)

 

“Refundwarren” is trending massive eye roll

 

I’m too old for this shit.

 

I thought it was established VV is Republican/Libertarian who would decry snowflake culture. That vid doesn’t surprise me, considering it’s upper class congratulating each other.

 

I don't mind asking candidates playful/fun/random questions like this, as it shows politicians are normal people too, but when it eats away time from important topics (I read the whole interview, Bernie was asking to get to climate change throughout the whole thing and they only spent a small chunk on it cause they ran out of time), it's just dumb journalism. Save the fun questions for any extra time at the end

 

I could kind of buy the Gardner one. Dude is up for re-election in an increasingly blue state. Everything I see from him out here seems increasingly desperate to match.

 

I can’t describe the terror that overtook my soul when I realized what was playing in the background. In a sea of cursed videos, this still stands out.

 

It was a low level staffer if it came from them. No way it was up top. Made no sense with the weeks messaging and “can a woman win” in people’s mind only hurts her.

 

That Twitter thread is a hot dumpster fire

 

Like I said

 

This happened at my hipster coffee shop.

 

People are allowed to be disappointed and request refunds if they want

 

Really don’t know how anyone interprets this as anything other than massively cynical

yeah the media is the real problem bc they’re going to make a much bigger deal about it than it’s worth but when you know that’s the case and carry on anyways....

 

Then maybe the Bernie campaign shouldn’t have said it was a lie and demand a response. This one sided bullshit makes me so fucking angry. They handled this wrong too.

 

Lmfao. I quit.

 

Tulsi’s tweet about this just makes me think of:

 

Oh my fucking god
So glad this person unfollowed me after this (they also deleted this tweet)

Just uh, out there proving OP's point
The best part is that I voted for Sanders in 2016, donated to his campaign this cycle, and have been leaning Sanders over Warren recently
