CNN is milking an entire hour for the debate draw

Who do we want matched I can’t decide if I want Biden against Harris or Warren. Please don’t let it be Bernie

I know that's not the greatest picture. This is interesting and confusing to me. On the left is white voters. Right is black voters.

Bernie Sanders' campaign staff are unhappy with their wages. 😬 Labor fight roils Bernie Sanders campaign, as workers demand the $15 hourly pay the candidate has proposed for employees nationwide link

I also think we need to stop worrying about how left a candidate is. It plays into the GOPs hands. We e made being left leaning an insult, a horror even. But when you talk to people who don't follow politics like us, they like the policies of the left. Most avg Americans do not clearly understand how far right we've gone in such a short period. I think the perfect example is someone on here described a coworker who said she'd never vote for a "socilaist", previously voted for Trump, but when she watched the debate she prefered Warren, who was the most progressive, left candidate on the stage. People don't understand politics, so they just follow someone who will inspire. Both Kamala and Warren are doing that and I think that is all that matters. Also the US political spectrum is such a tiny blip I really wish an actual leftist would run so people would understand how far the spectrum goes. I am an actual socialist. Democrats are barely center left at this point. That was my coworker and you are EXACTLY right. She actually has no idea what is "left" "right" "socialist", etc. All she knows is what she hears and what she picks up from other people. But given sort of a blank slate without the labels, she actually finds she aligns closest with someone who is near(est) to what she thinks is "socialism". We need to remember back when Obama came through and really MOVED people. He inspired, and touched (not in a creepy Biden way), and truly reached out to the people. I see this in both Liz and Kamala. They give me hope and spark energy. This is what will truly win out in the end, I hope. All of those people who got behind Obama and fought for him to win can do it again, they just need to not have some many pointless distractions along the way...I'm looking at you Chads. And they called Obama a Socialist! Which.....lol. We need to stop playing on the Right's turf. When Progressive policy like Medicaid expansion, decriminalization if marijuana, and restoring voting rights to felons are presented as ballot measures, they pass. Consistently. Even in red districts. Our ideas are popular, we just have to ignore and cut through the spin.

Andrew Yang has qualified for the 3rd and 4th debates. He is also closer to the middle on the stage tomorrow than Kirsten.
I'm doing a head tilty thing, in the last debate he spoke like 25 words maybe and stared at his belly button lint.
Castro has met donor requirement but not polling Amy has met polling but not donor req.
WHAT IS THE WORLD COMING TO?

Yeah. They really should have split up the candidates differently. Though I am ready to watch Warren demolish Sanders.

Should we have a new thread for new debates? I think so, that way no one has to wade thru this or the weekly thread if they want quick snapshots.
I'll be watching as much as I can since it starts right after I get home/dinner/bedtime.

The DNC is saying 2 of his polls count as 1 (because NBC was part of both) so he’s back to not qualifying

I love seeing all the Warren love. I'm so all in. My bumper sticker came in the mail yesterday. Maybe shallow, but I love her campaign colors (navy and statue of liberty green) - I am not one to put an actual bumper sticker on my vehicle but in this case I may make an exception....
