Bernie smoked the competition tonight. Rolled them into a blunt and smoked their asses.

Except Warren.

Tapper asked the candidates if they supported raising taxes on the middle class to pay for Medicare for All.

Quote:

“What I’m talking about it and others up here are talking about is no deductibles and no copayments, and Jake, your question is a Republican talking point,” Sanders said. “And by the way, the health care industry will be advertising tonight on this program.”

Don't be such a pussy, Sanders.

Does anyone have video of the full debate?ABC and CNN's livestream cut out the debate and only includes the pre and post analysis bull**** that I'm not interested in and I can't find it anywhere else.

Watched the first half at least. Hickenlooper, Ryan, Bullock, and Delaney are basically just Marco Rubio clones with blue ties. Buttegieg is the cross-appeal candidate that they dream of being. I think that him sharing the ticket as president or VP with Sanders, Harris, or Warren would be a big win.

Additional thoughts: The Kombucha lady was saying agreeable stuff but had no bite unfortunately. Seems like Beto shot himself in the face every chance he got and Williamson was unfortunately not nearly as funny as last time.

They say no but they really mean yes.

Honestly I think the focus on saying good things about the middle class is some bull**** in American politics. It's like the lower classes don't exist and/or should be peed on and everything that says anything with a whiff of "for the people" is 100% directed language-wise at the middle class because the lower classes are an embarrassment. This is something I thought was odd even when I was right wing tbh.

But don't you want to be RICH???!?!?!?!? Why would you waste time on the poor? Only one thing can be accomplished at a time, those are the rules.

Maybe it’s because living expenses aren’t so high around here but I’ve only known one teacher that worked a second job and that includes summer leave. They pay was around 35g and everyone lives on it. They mentioned that like 3 times.
