The presidential debates wasted too much time talking about stuff only Congress can do

Here is probably the best case for a Bernie candidacy being made by *checks notes* neoliberal shill vox dot coms Dylan Matthews

 

lmao....I just know for a fact I've seen him tweet before about how much the debates focus on policy that needs congressional input and how foreign policy is much more directly impacted by the presidency, so I figured he probably said something about it there again.

(and Dylan Matthews wrote about that idea too in the article I just posted)

 

We're only a few hours away from him saying something extremely racist to try and change the conversation again.

 

We’re going to need a subforum we can lock warf and David in the closer we get to the election

 

It's true. And Sanders got way better at discussing it since 2016; Warren's not very good at that yet.

 

Only if I can throw a random like Hugh Hewitt in there just to spice things up every now and again ...

 

the block button rules

 

Woah, that was part of the transcript? I hadn't heard that one. How tf are people still saying this is BS!?

 

Over/Under on Trump moving forward with a "Lock Him Up!" phrase for Biden?

 

I would like to tell you that I also have quite a few Ukrainian friends that live in the United States. Actually last time I traveled to the United States, I stayed in New York near Central Park and I stayed at the Trump Tower. I will talk to them and I hope to see them again in the future.

 

Vox.com has much more influence than Matt's tweets but not more influence than chapo people's tweets, which you implied contributed significantly to dampening turnout to Hillary's detriment?

 

My Tweets are influential the algorithm can't keep my good posts down.

 

You're not whining about a vox.com article right now, you're whining about a tweet from one of their writers.

 

Good timing.

 

Looks like a great campaign ad to me!

 

That quote is amazing.

And you were whining about left twitter posts like 20 posts ago and chastising me for saying they don't matter? But yeah usually when I tweet, I tweet about stuff I don't really believe in, and if I were writing for a major publication while tweeting, my tweets definitely wouldn't reflect any underlying attitudes that influence what I write

 

My grand unifying theory would definitely include the insatiable greed of men.

 

“I want to know who’s the person, who’s the person who gave the whistle-blower the information? Because that’s close to a spy,” he continued. “You know what we used to do in the old days when we were smart? Right? The spies and treason, we used to handle it a little differently than we do now.”

Oh.

 

It’s not inconsistent at all to say:

(1) Wall Street would obviously take any other Dem over Warren or Sanders
(2) Wall Street would obviously take Warren over Sanders
(3) Wall Street would obviously take Trump over Warren

 

Jesus.
