Democratic Debate (1 Viewer)

Some actual talk about issues and problems instead of a rapacious clownshow about who can appeal the best to the basest instincts and the lowest common denominator?

Yeah, not interested. :brush:

Hoping for a live blog here with some seriously funny people.

 
Legitimate candidates talking sense about important issues? There's no market for that.
Which is why they invited Hillary. They need something to move the "entertainment" needle. Would be boring if they just had the other four up there addressing issues.
:confused:

Hillary is one of the least entertaining candidates out there. What crazy stuff do you expect out of her?
If they had some of the "Freedom" Caucus as moderators it could be must see TV.

There won't be anything crazy. I love watching her mental gymnastics and the lengths she'll go to NOT answer a question. She's one of the best IMO :shrug: And yes, I realize that's a bit sick :bag:

Is this even relevant? Anyone watching? Is there a drinking game for this yet?
ill drink a fifth of vodka if they get a "did God ask you to run?" Question
I would hope for some gotchas

" Gov OMalley - it has been said that some of the police tactics adopted while you were mayor of Baltimore led to the division between African American residents and the police...."

 
Lets see if any of the candidates have the balls to bring up Hilary's email scandal.
And about how she did the Benghazi.
Its silly to say the email issue isn't a real issue when the president just called it a mistake and polls show it is impacting her support.
It was reckless, dangerous and illegal...moreover, what was her motivation? I can't think of a legitimate reason for her to have done this.

Take it to the thread you've already polluted with this garbage. You hate her. I get it.

It'll come up and it'll go nowhere. But I'm sure republicans would love to see it be the centerpiece of the debate. They've tried so hard.

 
Legitimate candidates talking sense about important issues?
:lmao: :lmao: Good luck with that. It will be a big circle jerk with a bunch of candidates talking about who can expand government the most and who can nail the rich the most.
There is class warfare in this country and the rich are winning. There has been a massive transfer of wealth to the rich. Unless you are rich if it continues this way your children will be poorer for it. Why doesn't that concern you? Why so you insist on championing the cause of the elite? Who BTW are doing just fine without your help.

Seriously. I will never understand how the 1% managed to snow far less wealthy people into buying the bill of goods they're selling. Not referring to jon specifically here as I like him as a person/poster, but it seems to me that some sort of frenzied whipping up of an "us against them" fight against "others" sure helps those will never, ever benefit from Republican economic policies to sign up. Witness that cretin Sarah Palin.

Some people (including me) subscribe to a rising tide lifts all boats. That's not to say wealth inequality doesnt matter, I think its an important issue, but the super wealthy gaining doesn't mean the rest of us society can't/doesn't gain too.

I used to be able to understand the rising-tide view, but the disparity between the insanely rich and the regular folk (speaking economically) whom they need to support their increasingly voracious greed has grown to proportions that are absolutely preposterous. These days, it's more like the tide rises and only the mega-yachts get lifted.

I am looking forward to seeing what Hillary, Sanders, MOM, and Chafee say about income inequality, if anything. Biden, too, if he parachutes in. I don't give a damn what Webb has to say.

Senator Clinton, under the current administration wealth inequality has increased substantially, due in large part to the Obama administration's policies of allowing a huge influx of low skilled illegal immigrant labor crushing salaries on the low income scale and on the high end a Fed ZIRP policy allowing the richest to get first crack at cheap money. How would your administration handle these current policies?

It's amazing how blinded by partisanship some of you can be. There will be actual policy discussions tonight. You obviously disagree with what they think, but the discussion will be profoundly more intellectual and substantive than the republican debates we have seen.

Hard with that many people on stage. Once the numbers whittle down a bit I suspect these will get lots better. Right now, though, you're right about the lack in the R debates. We'll see how the D debate goes.

IF a question like that were to ever get through the screening process, I can't imagine the size of the puddle under her podium :lol:

Is there any country in the world that doesn't have "insanely rich people" (by that country's standards)? There will ALWAYS be rich people. And there will always be people who have less that are calling others that have more "insanely rich".

It's like a who's who of western countries.

Countries with the most income inequality

Rank Country Share of wealth held by richest 10%
1 Russia 84.8%

2 Turkey 77.7%

3 Hong Kong 77.5%

4 Indonesia 77.2%

5 Philippines 76%

6 Thailand 75%

7 U.S. 74.6%

8 India 74%

9 Egypt 73.3%

10 Brazil 73.3%

Yeah, no one's calling for communism here, but keep pounding that straw man. You may have heard that the income gap has widened significantly in the last 30 years in this country. There's no good reason for that to have happened and most people are starting to recognize that. Perhaps you're one of these characters who support GOP policies that don't benefit you an ounce, even though you probably think they do.

 
I expect a lot of :yawn: to be followed by :sleep: .

Softball questions from a fawning press don't exactly make for riveting programming.

Why doesn't it concern you that everyone (besides a few like trump) wants to grant amnesty to illegals and have massive immigration here while there are millions of people unemployed? Who do you think it helps to have cheap labor brought into the country? The middle class? Nope, it only helps the super rich that employ them for cheap and it shrinks the middle class.

Yeah, guys. Nobody went into the republican debate thread and criticized any of the candidates. Cut it out.

I doubt there will be a rich policy discussion, the format of letting a candidate answer a question for 60 seconds is not really built for that.

Oh puleeez. Hillary Clinton will be on stage giving her canned responses to a bunch of positions she just moved to so she can get the "I am one of you people" vote. It may be more substantive than the GOP debate, but that is a really low bar and it won't be cleared by much. Sanders may articulate some genuine positions in an intelligent matter, but I am not going to agree with much of what he says. The other three will stake out radical positions trying get attention to their candidacy.

 
You're right to an extent Fennis, but there are a lot of questions that we WON'T get tomorrow night. Such as:

Senator Chafee, Bernie Sanders called you a loser the other day and said you shouldn't be up here. Would you like to respond to that?

Madame Secretary Clinton, Senator Webb says that you're a low energy candidate. Are you?

Senator Sanders, would you be willing to vote for a Muslim to be President?

Senator Webb, how would you go about deporting the 12 million illegal immigrants in this country?

Governor O' Malley, do you promise you won't run third party if you don't win the nomination? Oh and do you think that Obama is a Christian?

I don't know about you guys, but I'm pretty glad that the Dems won't be getting these questions (hopefully).
