Back in my apt, with dinner, without a minute to spare! #DemDebate
Booker almost fell off the stage when Warren said billionaires should have to give a bit more.
Oh. We get Gabbard, but not Castro. SIGH.
Heh. Harris just tried to get back at Gabbard for Gabbard's attack on Harris at the earlier debate. It went not bad.
The guy who bought his way onto the #DemDebate stage just criticized "unchecked corporate power." (Yes, there's a difference, and yet!)
Klobuchar made the first Stacey Abrams mention, so kudos to her.
"I guess they thought they invented everything." - Yang waits for a laugh response, gets none
"I don't even golf." - Pete Buttigieg, defying expectations daily
Honestly, the most uncomfortable moment of the debate so far for me was Yang and Steyer buddy-buddying.
Bernie Sanders can be impressively dismissive in saying, "I think Joe is right."
Klobuchar making a little joke about diplomas under chairs felt a bit dismissive of the debate over the cost of college and candidates' efforts to address that. Was that just me?
Definitely noticed Warren mentioning housing needs for those coming back to communities from incarceration as part of her housing plan.
We’ve reached the point of the debate where I wonder if anyone has done a good “every Dem candidate as a Pokémon” post.
I sighed over this whole exchange, tbh.
Yang was asked what he would say to Putin in his first conversation with him if he became president, and even Yang laughed.
Gabbard — who hit Harris on her prosecutorial record in a prior debate — gave a strong discussion of race, criminal justice, and the “war on drugs” in an answer tonight.
Honestly, did Biden just do that?
Well, that felt weird. Pete just managed to talk for an extended bit about being gay and married without saying “gay” or “husband.”
“I thought you were high when you said it,” Booker says of Biden’s recent comments continuing to oppose marijuana legalization.
Biden responds that he wants marijuana decriminalization, people released from prison serving sentences for marijuana, and expungement. He wants more ~study~ before actual legalization, though. (Despite the fact that legalization already has started happening in US states.)
Booker second person to mention that Stacey Abrams should be governor of Georgia — where the debate is taking place.
That leads into ... 🚨 A VOTING QUESTION.
“Mr. Trump.”
Seeing a lot of candidates leaving out sexual orientation and gender identity when talking about diversity tonight — and I don’t believe anyone mentioned trans deaths across the country or the Transgender Day of Remembrance taking place today. #TDOR
