These are all people who believe in changing tge Constitution and pushing activist judges to legislate from the bench instead of honestly interpreting laws and upholding the Constitution.
They all believe in draconian crackdowns on economic and personal freedoms.
That makes every one of them unsuited for office on my mind.
Are you referring to the Republican gerrymandering?
Im talking about your fascist party of full power and control over citizens.

Anecdotal, but poignant. I personally have several doctors that are retiring because of it. And many others who are considering it. Here's a link, if you can wait a few minutes for me to find it.

This guy had the guts to say these things publicly. Many more feel the same way, but are scared to say it publicly. I've heard it with my own ears. There are many similar reports online, unless Google took them down.

Sort of like Republicans trying to control women's bodies?

Didn't watch it. Didn't listen to it. Don't care.

Only Warren, Castro and Booker seemed strong enough to continue.

Gabbard has a few skeletons that will ruin her chances.

In the end, the Democratic party must find a candidate that will recapture the suburbs and Union members. No one did that very well last night.

Harris is coming out strong, Biden is doing as expected, Pete is really solid, Bernie is not doing well... The rest are weaker than some of the candidates last night.

I'm sure they will also be retroactive and involuntary for the people with Rs after their name. Commies always kill their domestic enemies, to the tune of 100,000,000 people. That's about 1,000,000 a year for 100 years. Many times more than even the Nazis, who were called Socialists (not Fascists) in case you did not know.

Neither night of the Desperatic Debates were worth a bag of Jiffy Pop, but it's clear that unity of the party (aside from galvanized hatred of the current president) is pretty far down the road. The rabid Chuck Todd could use a tranq.

Props to NBC for portraying them as entertainment (even if not entertaining), and cross-promoting pre- / post- on all of their shows ad nauseam.

I completely forgot they were even on last night, but just reading the commentary this morning it sounds like Kamala Harris came out the winner, Buttigieg a runner-up, and that neither Biden nor Bernie did particularly well.

Also sounds like Kamala played the race card on Biden. Is that true? Was it effective?

I've been rooting for Harris even though I don't think she has a chance of getting the nomination, because Trump will beat her handily in the midwest. A California liberal is Trump's best bet for winning the rust belt.

Ok had a chance to watch the firey exchange between Harris and Biden over busing. Harris got the better of Biden in that exchange. HOWEVER, why are they debating policies that ended 40 or more years ago? I always thought it was allegedly conservatives who are stuck living in the past.

Yes. She started out with "Joe, I don't think you're a racist, but..." then went on to describe how she was the first black child ever to be bussed to school and apparently Joe was against that. She choked up a bit saying it - I thought she was going to cry. Thought Joe responded pretty effectively to that though.

I think he should have walked over, put his arm around her, sniffer her hair and said "I feel your pain" and he might have won some more points from the audience. ;)
