C'mon Barr, spill the dirt that Giuliani dug up on the Bidens.

Quote:

"There's an awful lot of people who are running for office who don't want to run with Bernie at the top of the ticket as a self-proclaimed socialist," Biden said. "Imagine here in Texas or in North Carolina or in Georgia, the idea, if I said to you, 'This is an open test. You're running for office. Do you want a very popular, self-proclaimed socialist or a popular mainstream Democrat running at the top of the ticket?' My guess is in most states, they'd say no."

Joe comin at ya with the high-falutin rhetoric.

The field of Democrats seeking the presidential nomination has thinned in the wake of the South Carolina primary. Billionaire philanthropist Tom Steyer ended his campaign Saturday followed by Buttigieg and Klobuchar. The leaves five candidates in the race: Biden, former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard, Sanders and Senator Elizabeth Warren.

False Flag Gabbard please drop next.

As in "them panties".

That's what they want people to think before they vote tomorrow, that's for sure.

In a survey of 10 Democratic presidential debates spanning eight months, In These Times found that moderators have asked candidates a total of 21 questions about how they plan to pay for their political agendas. In every single case, moderators demanded to know who will bear the cost of social goods like Medicare for All, climate change mitigation and free college. There was not a single instance where a debate moderator asked a candidate how she or he plans to pay for U.S. wars.

Debate moderators have tremendous power to shape political discourse, and the cumulative effect of this line of questioning is to give the overarching impression that U.S. society cannot afford programs that save or improve lives, or prevent planetary catastrophe. But when it comes to U.S. militarism—which accounts for roughly half of the discretionary federal budget—cost is apparently never an issue.

Great editorial. I swear, I’m ashamed of myself for not noticing that.

5/5

I want Mommy (Tulsi Gabbard) to win. :love:

Biden is getting off to a good start tonight. This is how I felt when Trump started taking states in the general election. Right now I feel really disappointed. In a way, I hate Biden more than Trump. America is repulsive.

why do i even do this to myself

I think it's the most important state for him

he's guaranteed California, so winning the two biggest states can offset Biden overperforming elsewhere

Can’t hardly express my disgust with Beto.
