US Politics Megathread

Hahaha why is Bloomberg the one smartly bringing up the president's total incompetence.

[Cometk]

Pete honestly is a pretty solid communicator.

He manages to always say something unique. When the topic was public education, he refocused on public educators. Really good mental hook for viewers

[gibson]

"Did your policies raise the life expectancy in New York?" I wonder how much Bloomberg had to pay for that question to get asked.

[fightinfrenchman]

Is Bloomberg lying about his height? He's clearly shorter than Pete but they're both listed as 5'8".

[Cometk]

These moderators are pretty savage, honestly I feel bad for Pete

[n0el]

If they actually wanted to be good moderators, cut candidates' mics when they go over time.

Poor Biden is the only one who abides by the rules. Major disadvantage to him

1:15 may not seem like a lot of time but it really is.

For the record, I’ve avoided watching a single second of the debate. I’m proud of myself. The two hours of basketball was much more enjoyable.

You should constantly be punishing yourself by watching the debate imo

[fightinfrenchman]

Bernie doing a good job actually going after Trump

Huh, Bernie is taller than I thought, while Buttigieg and Bloomberg are both shorter.

I feel like going after Trump is just low hanging fruit

Bad citizen. Bad.

I prefer it when Bernie does that instead of going after the "Democratic establishment"

[Cometk]

Bernie doing a good job actually going after Trump

I actually thought his bit was a bit rambling and inconsequential

[fightinfrenchman]

Fuck yes, BIden bringing up the concentration camps!

[Cometk]

This question...?

[gibson]

Honestly besides the fact that none of the candidates are willing to follow debate rules my opinion of every single candidate has gone up a bit.

[fightinfrenchman]

Bernie does not seem to handle being the frontrunner very well

[fightinfrenchman]

These questions are awful

[gibson]

Poor Biden literally is the only one stopping when they ask him too haha, everyone else just plows on.

[Cometk]

Pete completely dodged the Syria question with a world salad

[fightinfrenchman]

Wtf Pete why did you pivot to healthcare. Christ that was dumb
