YES! Especially when she called out the moderators—and basically the media—for wearing kid gloves when dealing with Republicans. That was fucking beautiful. I can just imagine. The moment Trump doesn’t answer a question and they don’t call him on it, she’s gonna be like:

Yeah, absolutely. Bernie pushed the whole field left and that’s extremely commendable, but people need to realize that most of his ideas aren’t his ideas. Universal healthcare, free college, democratic socialism in general—these exist in other countries, not in the “genius” of Bernie’s brain. He just shouted them into

It’s because he is a candidate for white people. He believes he can bring back the “working class” voters that went for Trump. He refuses to believe that racism was the main driver for Trump’s support. He doesn’t acknowledge that the real working class includes black and brown people when he talks about the “working

Mustn’t move mustn’t make a sound.

Yea it struck me that Bernie’s performance in the debate wasn’t bad. But it was just blah for the most part. Now that his positions are more mainstream he can't just rely on fire and brimstone.

Warren can definitely do it. She’s fierce. Harris and Warren are my top two, not only because I align with their policies, not only because they have well developed plans that show they know their shit, but because both of them have the guts to really take on trump and beat him.

I mean...you can give Bernie some credit for pushing some conversations further to the left. But the problem is that now, what was a “far left” position in 2016 is a mainstream position. And so if someone like Harris or Warren is able to better articulate the exact same idea, he loses ground because he can’t just beat

I can just see Trump lurking behind her like he did Hillary and Kamala asking him, “what’s the matter; do you have to go potty?”

It's always entertaining to see white people who have never gotten that smoke from a black woman experience it for the first time. Biden was not ready and Bernie sure as hell didn't want to catch any of it either. He can talk over Kristen Gillibrand all he wants but he was going to catch those debate hands if he did

“... Anyway, my time’s up.”

I still read Splinter for my daily injection of lefty rage but they’re also the blog that greyed their entire collection of commentators because one of their writers had a shitty take on elections and they got called on it. Their judgment is suspect at best.

I’m Harris/ Warren all the way.

Bernie couldn’t do shit. Stop. The only thing that old fuck does is yell

So now it has begun. Meaning that Kamala Harris came, saw and kicked ass and now she has become a target of the media and yes our dear friends at Splinter who love them some Bernie and Mayo Pete. For all you so called progressives that keep bringing up her record as a prosecutor notice she hasn’t run from it. For real

Did you see Biden’s 1,000 mile stare after that moment? That is the face of a man who was unprepared for the smoke and didn’t know how to deal with it. Imagine how Trump would deal with it.

Bernie was 100 % uncomfortable during that entire event because he knows he is next and he is not sure when it will drop. I am so tired of these old hypocrites.

Yeah, Bernie, don’t even look over there at Kamala, you don’t want none of that fire she was throwing at Joe, you felt the heat on your neck and made the smartest move of your 2020 campaign thus far, not to get involved. Kamala wasn’t having it, she would have fucked you up, too.

I know some people have trouble with aspects of Harris...

“... Anyway, my time’s up.”

That whole exchange exemplifies why I would love to see Kamala on a debate stage with Trump. She would eviscerate him.

This is for all those jaded cynics that say debates don’t matter. Senator Harris came to “beat that bitch with a bat” and chew bubble gum...and homegirl was out of bubble gum.
