That's what they want people to think before they vote tomorrow, that's for sure.

In a survey of 10 Democratic presidential debates spanning eight months, In These Times found that moderators have asked candidates a total of 21 questions about how they plan to pay for their political agendas. In every single case, moderators demanded to know who will bear the cost of social goods like Medicare for All, climate change mitigation and free college. There was not a single instance where a debate moderator asked a candidate how she or he plans to pay for U.S. wars.

Debate moderators have tremendous power to shape political discourse, and the cumulative effect of this line of questioning is to give the overarching impression that U.S. society cannot afford programs that save or improve lives, or prevent planetary catastrophe. But when it comes to U.S. militarism—which accounts for roughly half of the discretionary federal budget—cost is apparently never an issue.

Great editorial. I swear, I’m ashamed of myself for not noticing that.

5/5

Biden is getting off to a good start tonight. This is how I felt when Trump started taking states in the general election. Right now I feel really disappointed. In a way, I hate Biden more than Trump. America is repulsive.

he's guaranteed California, so winning the two biggest states can offset Biden overperforming elsewhere

Can’t hardly express my disgust with Beto.
