9 Candidates (Yang latest) Now Qualify For The September Democratic Primary Debate
- Thread starter signal
- Start date
Castro honestly deserves to rank higher than a good handful of the ones who have already made it, but the rest I'm happy to see go home.
They play way too nice? You must not have watched the last debate, as Bernie & Elizabeth fought back hard.
Wowzers, are you telling me after CNN gave 40% of its debate airtime to Delaney for some baffling reason, he wasn't the first one confirmed for the next round? What a shocker.
The stanning, ironic or not, in the last debate thread was weird as fuck
I think they meant she works for a Chris Christie role
just hope her careers ends like his after 2020
a real leftist please primary her for her seat
As a candidate? No. As an attack dog who is willing to go after the records of harris/booker/pete/beto/etc in a way that Bernie or Warren never would? heck yes I want her in the debate lol
Yea I can't really argue that. He has done a good job so far.
Tapper openly admitted it was intentional and the reason was to represent Biden's views since he wasn't there.
Inslee is getting closer. I think he is going to hit the donors, not sure about the polling though.
This. And Castro has government experience (as a Mayor and Secretary of HUD). Yang... doesn't.
Personally, I think this is just a waste of time and we should all just wait until the Iowa Caucus to figure out who the front runners are.
I think you're turning down a night of peak social media pundit.
Why do I see right-wingers liking Yang? What about him do I not know that makes him shitty, because there's gotta be something

Damn, I was hoping for the list to be culled down a bit. I feel like this format of, like, the first 2 episodes of The Bachelor, just isn't as valuable the longer into the season you go.
Yang got a lot of populist right wing support from the same types of people who got on board with Trump in 2016 but have become dissolutioned about him not changing/breaking/resetting the system. The so called "Yang Gang" shared a lot of The_Donald crossovers from 2016. It's not entirely dissimilar of ~12% of Sanders voters in the primary voting for Trump in the general election. There are people who are out of the political spectrum, either from dissolutionment or ignorance, and so when they see someone who is campaigning on challenging the system with what they see as transformative ideas, whether its Sanders, Trump, or Yang, they get on board without thinking critically about what those changes mean.
As some Trump -> Yang supporters put it in some Atlantic or Daily Beast piece a few months ago, "Trump shows us how the system is fucked so we may as well get $1000/mo" (paraphrased, I'll have to find the article). Now, I don't think that Sanders is remotely close to Trump or Yang (notably, Sanders has been a professional politician for ~30 years now), but there's a bead of outsider populism among all three that appeals to dejected, dissolutioned, "tear down the system" types, "Doomers" is the phrase I think.
It's also why Yang polls highly in more extremist communities. Yang will poll in the 0% range for typical voters polled in general elections. But he'll poll in the 5-8% range in far left or far right partisan communities.

I have better things to do than watching cable media making a laughing stock of themselves and not asking hard hitting policy questions...
Nah, I like what he brings to the debates, but he needs to get there just like everyone else. Climate daddy went viral a bit, so he might be getting there. He needs something bigger though.
Like Beto in Texas, Klobuchar gets a ton of money and support from her home state.
The buttered toast lobby.
Anyone here who doesn't want to abolish private insurance shouldn't be running.
He's made some comments white supremacists love about immigration
Also this is too many people that qualify. When you have this many people qualify you know you set the standards too low.
Gillibrand getting cut in the first round of cuts must sting so much for her. I would have sympathy but her terrible Israeli and sexual harassment stances post presidential announcement happened.
Hopefully Gabbard doesn't make it but Castro and Inslee do.

His UBI is actually a horrid rendition that cuts a lot of services and has a 1k a month cap and his immigration rhetoric is pretty fucking gross.
I hope Tulsi makes the cut so Harris and the other candidates can publicly end her whole career with receipts on how much of a scumbag she is.
