And cue the Biden, Bernie and Harris stans who didn't like my rankings.
If you think Biden did as well as anyone else, he did not. Harris edged out Bernie specifically by addressing environmental racism & not treating audience members dismissively. Warren checked all the boxes.

I thought Bernie was very good--if you are actually following my live-tweeting you can see that. But Warren and Harris were better, specifically because they both relate better to actual humans, which matters. And their plans are doable AND progressive.

Yang had some radical ideas that were interesting. Klobuchar was solidly pragmatic. She was the centrist star. Biden sat, rarely finished a sentence, told stories about his past and got coached repeatedly by Cooper. No clear plan, no good reason to be anti-GND.

Harris and Warren have specific plans that include transition. Bernie also has a plan, but his feels much vaguer than theirs but is much more expensive. Without explanation. Warren's 2c story is a good one. Harris's explanation of how she implemented environmental change is good.
The fact is, climate crisis impacts women, POC and young people more than anyone. The questions young women asked were the most important of the night. We need to remember who will be voting in 2020.
