Best way to get things done, but politcal suicide. Got our government kicked out and they haven't been back since despite us having the one of the world's worst government at the moment, and it having been proven it was the strongest thing in drastically lowering our emissions. When you can't raise taxes to pay for healthcare, good luck trying to explain a carbon tax to people.
Maybe that's why we need a billionaire autocrat to force it to become law.

He has been the best at hurting Bernie so far. Mainly because he's the most prepared to sling shit and get dirty in the process.

It's good because he will be forced to resdistribute his wealth to other politicians to pass bills.

I don't think B has been saying anything of substance all night. I'm really confused at cometk's political compass, but I respect him as a voter is this democratic republic.

Got bodied early. Not too terribly now, but probably should've just stayed off the stage.

Imagine watching this debate and thinking that primaries are a good idea. Cory Booker could have just been chosen by the party and could have spent the last year+ fundraising.

Going to pick up my roommate at the airport. It's been fun, and why is fun so cynicism-inducing.

I agree, but you also can have the reverse happen. In Aus, we had the least charismatic bloke as the opposition leader, and singly lost the election for his party against a useless government. If they pick wrong, you complain about it. No system is perfect.

Nobody actually cares about this, even me as someone who dislikes Sanders. It's just a goofy talking point and you know that.
