Dem Debate Tonight—Socialist Distancing Edition (BASICALLY STARTING NOW)

FOX NEWS HEADLINE: BIDEN PROMISES TO MOBILIZE NATIONAL GUARD TO ARREST REPUBLICANS WITH CORONAVIRUS!

With the futures like they are right now, I think you’re right.

Pandemic, looming recession… yeah, I don’t think an uneventful debate on a race that’s basically over will drive many eyeballs or clicks.

Still, it’s nice to see Biden performing well. He’s getting better at communicating his brand. It’s a good sign for the general.

Nice to see the two guys trying to outdo each other on who takes climate change more seriously.

“I did that while you were watching”.

Salty.

There was an interesting take on Pod Save this week in which they proffer that Bernie knows he’s not going to win the nomination and that this debate is sort of him conceding and getting his voters on board to vote for Biden. I clearly mangled the concept but I think I go the main beats.

That’s being VERY charitable to Bernie. I’m pretty sure he just wants to remain on the national stage as long as he possibly can.

Thank you for this, it was incredibly funny. :)

Bernie just baited into defending China and Cuba. Yeah, it was a trap, but it was a really obvious one and he charged right into it.

I can see that but what he wants and what’s pragmatic to beat the current WH occupier are 2 different things. And I think at the end of the day, of course he wants to win, but he and Biden really want that orange scumbag beaten.

If that’s the goal it’s not real clear in his content and presentation. He’s been on the attack a lot. He seems to be again playing to his base instead of seeking to expand it. Unless he thinks these same old attacks will make people who support Biden, or even those who are in the “meh, okay, Biden” camp, switch over I don’t know what he’s doing.

I think we’re fucked either way but doubly so if Bernie voters cant or wont pull the lever for Biden.

Honestly I was expecting Bernie to reach across to Joe more than playing this like a regular debate, so I am disappointed. The world is on fire. Is Bernie really going to drag this out like in 2016?!?

“We win BIGTIME with people 30 years or younger. They just don’t vote.” - Bernie

Biden talking about himself in the 3rd person was very adorable.

Off topic but I love that Ron Reagan FFR commercial

Narcissist gonna narcissist.

That guy was AMAZING and I love him
