welcome to @curaffairs LIVE TWEET of the #DemocraticDebate — “houston we have a problem” edition

there will be pandering, fudging, overworked one liners, and on this feed, typos. embrace it. here we go!

bernie sanders is too authentic for your lozenge

joe biden: “i think that obamacare works” cnbc.com/2019/09/10/rat…

warren: i’ve never met anyone who likes their insurance; people like their doctors . . . . everyone will be covered.

this is the blanket support leftists have been awaiting. whether warren’s written plans will follow is TBD

whispering “medicare for all who want it” as my public single payer system collapses under the weight of high prices because the pool of participants is too small

we spot @PplPolicyProj in sanders’ reminder that millions of people lose their beloved private insurance every year 🤓

cringing at “i know a lot about cancer,” a track by joe biden

when julian castro asked joe biden if he forgot what he saud two mins ago, we felt that

pete buttigieg’s tone policing of castro’s zinger is racist, we will not be checking comments ty

yang: still running on ubi and uncomfortable stereotypes

does yang see how weird it is that across america, thousands of white people chuckled at “i’m asian so i know a lot of doctors”

we’re not sure they were all laughing *with* him

but we digress

beto please run for senate baby

best millennial on stage rn

a special thanks @nhannahjones for forcing this stage to do its homework #1619Project

the subject matter is criminal justice reform. kamala harris is speaking. is she lying?

joe biden focusing on nonviolent crimes. great but low-hanging fruit. what about people in prison for violent offenses?

joe biden: after sandy hook a number of things happened [e.g., i forgot who came to lobby me for gun control at the white house between the sandy hook kids and the parkland kids]

beto will ban the firearm designed to kill in my battle but not if it was designed to kill in a fit of jealousy or depression

booker going back and forth between big marianne williamson and big dad energies

warren gets it. all the guns gotta go

don’t mind us, just tearing our hair out at bernie’s no on smashing the filibuster

check out this piece by our friends over at @jacobinmag jacobinmag.com/2019/03/filibu…

“why should latinos trust you? did you make a mistake with these deportations?”

biden: we were ADEQUATE how dare u

is yang unable to express any idea without using this exhausting business-boardroom-innovator-speak

sidebar: beto’s tie is nice, carry on

BREAK TIME: here’s your chance to catch up on our LIVE DRAW with the talented @JasonAdamK!

telling china to improve its labor practices on this day of september 12, 2019 when —

rip to trudeau’s sway, you shall not be missed

the richness of mayor pete accusing trump of using the Troops as props and starting the next sentence with As A Troop, I ...

excuse us for getting bored with the war stuff. running on year 18 of the same “we’ll get out soon” tale

sounds like jorge ramos should read @NaomiAKlein’s “the shock doctrine”

MISSING: our interest in finding out where amy klobuchar went

kamala harris campaign printing “i was that little farmer”

won’t revive her campaign but at least

(that’s the whole tweet)

(let’s hope kamala harris’ nieces never have to drive for uber)

drink every time they say LET ME BE CLEAR (do not do this, you will die)

question: how to improve education?

warren: strengthen our unions

joe biden has a dead person for every issue. it’s not a competition but just so you know, he wins

booker bringing up newark school reform without shame is _chefs_kiss.gif buzzfeednews.com/article/mollyh…

damn castro’s story about the land deal was amazing

alright folks, we end with a pfftttsss rather than a bang. but we MADE IT! t-o-g-e-t-h-e-r

thank you for tuning in, we love you all ❤️
