Most with Steyer, then Bloomberg, then Liz/Amy tie. Least with Tulsi, which is probably shocking to no one.

I am very pro nuclear energy. And I actually almost laughed at that question because nuke plants are being decommissioned left and right in the US right now. LOL at pausing expansion. ETA although I think Yang was the only candidate for increasing nuclear energy. I should take the quiz lol. It always amuses my H when I get passionate about nuclear energy, but then my dad literally just retired from the industry. Well timed too, because his plant was just shut down for decommissioning. Yes. We have similar dad histories, if I recall

I took the quiz - Warren the most, followed by Sanders. Biden the least. I know others had similar results w/ Biden. Ugh that concerns me.

I keep seeing this clip of Steyer happening upon Sanders/Warren post-debate and his awkward face amuses me to no end. Forever and ever.

I was kind of shocked my my results. Steyer first , Bloomberg/Amy tied for 2nd. Warren was 3rd from last. BUT like y’all said, Steyer can say good things that I like but IDK if he can get the job done.

My first 3 were tied - Warren, Bloomberg and Yang. Gabbard at the bottom. I struggled with the nuclear power question too. I would be interested in us looking into safer, cleaner nuclear options such as thorium reactors, but since it is more expensive and can't be as easily weaponized it seems no one has been seriously interested in that yet. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thorium-based_nuclear_power I feel if we are going to continue nuclear power, we need to make improvements in safety and waste creation/handling, rather than just expanding as-is.

They're going to endorse Bloomberg. That's why they have to be "more transparent than ever."

I've been just completely buried in work and was working through the debate last night so didn't join in the thread.
I feel like the Liz/Bernie thing is like a genetically-engineered test-tube perfect version of the kind of shit Russia would pull to divide Dems except that Liz acknowledged that it happened. I was sweating watching that exchange in the debate. Joe must be pretty happy about the turn that's taken.

I had a 5-way (!) tie for first between Bloomberg, Buttigieg, Klobuchar, Warren and Steyer. Then Biden down a step. Then Gabbard, Sanders and Yang tied for last.
I move in mysterious ways.

Idk. I read something that said they are probably both correct. He probably said something that sounded like that to her and didn’t realize it and she probably really feels that’s what he said and meant. It’s uncomfortable to watch the grandparents sparring.

I actually matched highest with Steyer 12/20 and then tied with Bloomberg and Warren 11/20. I think that is mostly because Steyer has taken some of the strongest environment/climate stances and that is a high priority issue for me. I struggled with the nuclear energy question Same. I am fairly pro-nuclear.

Any X-files fans here? Pete Buttigieg is the Cigarette Smoking Man. 😂 I’m only a fan through season 6. Maaaaybe season 7. Both reboots can fuck right off a cliff. I know. Not the point. But I needed to say that aloud to someone who would understand my feels.

I think the thing that really bothers me about it is that he just flat-out says that it doesn't happen. Like I feel like most people (well, maybe women) would be like "shit did I say something that could have been interpreted that way?" and at least have some doubt about it but he's just like "WRONG, HOW VERY DARE YOU." That's a personality thing and I am on record as already having a problem with his personality so take that with a grain of salt.

Oh to have the confidence of a white male. And I must say it does make her look at little something that he called her a liar on national tv and she didn’t really fight back. I mean...T is the next opponent so that’s a little troublesome. As a casual observer and all. 😂

Also shade to Abby who went to Liz and said so after he said it. Apparently Abby believes he said it as well

Guys! I didn’t get Bernie! He came in THIRD and I got Warren first. That’s interesting. ETA Curlie thanks for sharing that quiz. That was cool. Who was your 2nd?

Not surprised by my results.
I got Warren, Sanders, Steyer then Yang. Biden dead last, which I find interesting because I'd put Gabbard last irl.

I can't with the replies to this thread. Pretty sure telling people what is important to them doesn't matter isn't going to get them to vote for your chosen candidate. It just makes you look bad.

And he's very right. Warren is problematic. Her clinging to her false NA heritage was hurtful to indigenous people. She apologized, but no one has to accept that apology. Of course all the candidates are problematic. It's the weighing of who will be the least problematic and do the best job in the White House that is important, but we should absolutely be listening to a variety of points of view on the left. Especially minority opinions.

The Bernie bros are out in force on Liz, claiming she is trashing Bernie's character and she is completely cancelled as a possible candidate. Oh...so this is different than him saying he never said it and effectively calling her a liar, how? I am just so irritated by the double standard here. Bernie couldn't possibly be lying, despite the fact that he has on multiple occasions proven himself to be misogynistic, or at the very least have some problematic issues with women.
Someone is mis-remembering or lying but at this point it doesn't really matter, both candidates have basically said to shut that shit down. There is a growing divide that is working on handing T another 4 years.
ETA: I want to clarify that, as I have stated before, all of the NA stuff with Liz was problematic, and still is. I am not trying to ignore that. I am simply commenting on the Bernie bros doing what they do best and did with Hillary.

Trump is pushing a conspiracy theory that impeachment proceedings are specifically designed to keep Bernie of the campaign trail. All to suppress the Bernie vote and to give Biden an edge.

So this makes me wonder if in 2016 his campaign had dirt on Bernie they didn't use because he wasn't the nominee. And they want him to be the nominee this time so they can drop it and win. Someone adjust my tin foil hat?
