Welcome to fourth Democratic primary debates, tonight will feature:

Joe Biden former Vice President


Kamala Harris senator from California


Bernie "Heart Breaker" Sanders senator from Vermont


Andrew Yang businessman


Cory Booker senator from New Jersey and mutated Obama clone


Beto O'Rourke representative from Texas

NEW CHALLENGER APPROACHES: Tom Steyer billionaire and businessman

The poll will be posted after the debates. I'm happy to see Tulsi return, but I hate Tom Steyer, mixed bag. I predict tonight is going to be a total mess, this is make or break time.

oh hey Beto's in this debate. 40 minutes before any attention going his way, I think even the Media finally got sick of him.

 

[the fall of man]

CNN: “how would you bring GM jobs back to the US?”
Beto: ask me about guns how do i make this about guns words words words

 

[Drunk and Pour]

LOL, Mexican workers should be able to join unions. Beto, go the fuck away.

 

[The Pink Panther]

Beta: "Not only is it bad for the Mexican worker, it's bad for the American worker."

Wait, wait, Mexico first?

 

[Honka Honka Burning Love]

Beta: "Not only is it bad for the Mexican worker, it's bad for the American worker."

Wait, wait, Mexico first?

It is the only thing he has, being a White Mexican Irishman.

 

[Ruin]

Why doesn't anyone tell that goofball fuck Beto he's Irish?

 

[The Pink Panther]

"The top 1% are making more than 50% of the wealth of the country than the bottom 90% combined"

MYTH. The top 1% only makes around a quarter (around 23%) of the wealth in the country. Not 50%. I don't get where they got that fake number from.

 

[Iwasamwillbe]

"muh income and wealth inequality" - Bernie Sanders, millionaire

 

[Arm Pit Cream]

I love the Dead Bernie memes

 

[Stoneheart]

"The top 1% are making more than 50% of the wealth of the country than the bottom 90% combined"

what? thats not a sentence...

 

[The Pink Panther]

Moderator: "The lone billionaire on stage."

Widened eyes. The question is then asked.

Steyer: "Well, I agree with Senator Sanders"

Look at his eyes. He's lying. Haha.

 

[Drunk and Pour]

New guy looks like a melting Bill Nye doll.

 

[Absolutego]

OOP BIDEN HAD A FREUDIAN SLIP THERE LMAO

 

[Iwasamwillbe]

"The top 1% are making more than 50% of the wealth of the country than the bottom 90% combined"

MYTH. The top 1% only makes around a quarter (around 23%) of the wealth in the country. Not 50%. I don't get where they got that fake number from.

Their own asses, of course.

 

[Kenya Jones]

Wait did i mishear Biden but did he say "fire hydrant"?

 

[It's HK-47]

And has Trump actually "broken his promises to Ohio", or is that just a meme?

@It's HK-47

I'm honestly not sure where they're pulling that data from. It's done basically nothing but slowly climb since 2010, it just started picking up speed heading into 2015 and the employment rate is almost as high now as it was before the economic crash in 2008. Even if there is some truth to what they're saying and they're pulling data out from some study I'm unaware of, my question would be, "Okay, but are there still more jobs in the state than before he was elected?" Because if the answer to that is yes, then it's kind of irrelevant.

 

[Arm Pit Cream]

"Thank you Mr.Vice President"

 

[The Pink Panther]

"Raise taxes on the wealthy, raise taxes on the wealthy, raise taxes on the wealthy"

Over and over and over, yet they give no numbers. Just vague statements to satisfy the audience. No details, just talking points.

 

[HumanHive]

"Put workers at the center of trade deals"
Someone failed Economics 101. Production and trade don't exist for no other reason than to provide laborers with something to do all day; differences in resource and good scarcity necessitate trade and production exists to make desired goods with a desirable price range.

You can't just have coal workers digging up more coal than local power plants can burn or try to sell it to other countries for prices they don't want to buy at - this is precisely why the USSR's planned economy failed. Yeah, they set record production quotas, but trains wandered around with full loads desperately trying to find somewhere to unload. If American workers don't produce goods at prices the world wants to pay, the workers are wasting their fucking time and aren't worth their 15 buck minimum wage in the slightest. That's why the fucking auto industry collapsed.

 

[the fall of man]

Bernie: 87 million Americans are un(der)insured!

The commonwealth fund report says that 45 million people have insurance, but spent 10% (5% if poverty level) of their income on premiums.
That’s literally most elderly people,

Biden: Corporate leadership shouldn’t have a lower tax rate than their secretaries!

If the secretaries were paid in stocks and didn’t touch them for a year, they also would pay the 15% long term cap gains rate on increase.
