Debate thread, 2 debate 2 Democrat


Recommended Posts

My big problem with this debate in particular and the media in general is the insistence that Republican talking points represents middle America and that progressive ideas are outside the mainstream which is just false. The Democrats actually own the popular plans and ideas (and their failure to capitalize on that is a whole nother story). The media ALWAYS wants Democrats to move right but never ever suggests that Republicans move left. Basically, fuck Tapper, CNN, and every cable news pundit.

Well, I agree, fuck Tapper and CNN, but CNN isn't speaking to republicans. They obviously focus on what the left needs to do.

Also, I actually agree that Delaney had a "good" night. I'd say Sanders and Warren ran circles around him, BUT when Biden is running as the "center-left" guy, and he's got the most name recognition, and you're running on that kind of platform as well as a billion other Democrats in the running (Bullock, Hickenlooper, Ryan, Biden, Bennet, I assume Sestak), it's probably better to stick out and make a name for yourself (he received more time than Beto) than to be in the background. At this point, he has nothing to lose; worst case scenario is he polls as badly as he has been and doesn't see an uptick in voters.

 

Look at Seth Moulton. He wasn't at the debate and the top "news" story for him is a fucking Onion article, "Mysterious Salem Shopkeeper Offers Seth Moulton Chance At Presidential Debate Stage But At A Terrible Cost"
