Here we go again! Welcome to my live tweet of the Democratic debate aka the roast of Joe Biden. Let’s get it.

The higher tax rates that Bernie is proposing for any American will more than pay for themselves. If you are middle class and Bernie raises your taxes, you will still be saving money because your healthcare will be free.

Biden is wrong. We should demonize the rich. Hoarding money when others are starving is immoral.

I would gladly pay slightly higher taxes is my student debt was cancelled, childcare was free, and healthcare was free. Duh.

Socialism is actually good.

What Hickenlooper doesn’t recognize is that republicans called Obama a communist. Not calling yourself a socialist so that they don’t use it against you makes no sense.

Capitalism is greed. Corrupt or not. That’s what it is.

Michael Bennet doesn’t have an upper lip.

If this is an entire debate about Bernie Sanders, then they did him a favor.

Stop white dudes from speaking Spanish in debates just to pander 2020.

Its 2019. A 15 dollar minimum wage is not enough. Calling for this doesn’t make you a progressive it makes you late.

Yang came with the fire but it sounded awkward. Hitting Amazon for not paying taxes is what we need more of from the democrats. Impressed.

Yang’s expression looks like he’s on a podcast. His own podcast....

Eric Swalwell is on fire hitting Joe Biden #PassTheTorch

“I’m still holding on to that torch” - Joe Biden 2020

Bernie please stop talking over women. It’s not helping you or us 😩

The democratic nominees all just got in a screaming match over age and Kamala Harris came in and shut that shit down!

“America does not want to witness a food fight that want to hear how we’re going to put food on the table” - Kamala Harris

Abolishing private health insurance is a must.

Kamala Harris supporting the abolition of private health insurance firmly places her on the right side of the line here. Great move. Right move.

Wait Mayor Pete’s idea of Medicare for All is just a public option. Just call it that then wtf?

Joe Biden is out here campaigning on Obamacare in 2019.....

Bernie Sanders can see Canada from his porch and they have healthcare 😡

“We will have Medicare for all when tens of millions of people are willing to stand up to tell the insurance and drug companies that their time is gone and healthcare is a human right” - Bernie Sanders ✊🏾

Is Marianne Williamson selling me a diet or something what just happened?

Michael Bennet dislikes plastic surgery. Idk why. Ask him.

Every Democrat saying their healthcare plan would pay for undocumented immigrants is a very cool moment. Shows how far activists have moved the dial on this issue.

I feel like yesterday’s debate was actually more lit...

Joe Biden was Vice President when we also had kids in cages and abhorrent immigration facilities. These places weren’t built when Trump became president.

Joe Biden better not start acting like we weren’t deporting parents under his watch and detention centers are a new invention.

John Hickenlooper is somehow shocked at what America is doing to immigrant children as if we haven’t been doing similar actions our entire existence.

John Hickenlooper is about to print buttons that say “reform ICE” 🔥😂

Mayor Pete should pick Marianne Williamson for a running mate and their slogan can be “God and Crystals”

Moderator: “The Obama Biden administration deported 3 million Americans”
Biden: “if they committed a major crime they should be deported”

Really? How is that better than saying Mexicans are murderers and rapists? 3 million immigrants committed major crimes? Really? No!

If Democrats are mostly all willing to say that we shouldn’t deport people simply for being here illegally, why can’t we just agree on an open border? If it’s not punishable why is it there? Tear down this wall.

Kamala Harris is having one hell of a debate. She has come across as incredibly presidential and progressive.

Yang needs to assert himself or mistakenly answer someone else’s question like Williamson did. Has he even spoken twice yet?

Wait is this a Yang hologram?

I know progressives hate Kamala Harris but if you just consider what they stand for she is more progressive that at least half of the other candidates. Like should she really be the target of progressives with Biden at the top?

If the moderators can ask the candidates about abolishing private insurance then they can surely ask about abolishing ICE.

Kamala Harris calling out Joe Biden for his racism is so needed. She is doing it so well.

Most the Democrats want to debate about ICE, healthcare, and socialism but Joe Biden is still debating Bussing...

Joe Biden is up here defending discrimination to Kamala Harris

I can’t believe we talked about bussing before we talked about getting money out of politics....

We are over half way through the Democratic debate and we have not talked about climate change at all. None of these other issues will even matter if we don’t save the planet.

I love Bernie and I voted for him last time and was a delegate for him at the convention and I like almost everything he says and I know I’ll take shit for this but I can’t help but feel like he has lost a step.

I would join the church of Marianne Williamson no joke does she have a YouTube lol

Wait so they asked the candidates what issue they would solve if they could only solve one and Marianne Williamson said calling her friend in New Zealand so we can be the best place for a child to grow up... most others said climate change. I like her 😂❤️

“If more guns made us safer we would be the safest country on earth” - Mayor Pete

I’m so sick of Joe Biden. If Trump didn’t already take it his slogan would be #MAGA

How many crystals do you think Marianne Williamson has in her podium?

If Marianne Williamson wins we all have to believe in crystals and salt lamps. It will be undeniable proof.

I actually really like Marianne Williamson I Would even vote for her over at least half the candidates but she is undeniably hilarious. I’m sorry.

And just because I know I’ll get attack from people, I’m not saying this is who I support. Just because you like a candidate doesn’t mean you have to say they are the best at everything. You can be a bad candidate but good at debating. I’m just grading this debate.
