George Snuffleuphagus wants to know about scary socialism. The responses are pedestrian.
Petey wants change, as long as it’s Obama-style "change". Biden agrees, and trots out the who-pays bullshit again. Amy: unrealistic i’m a pragma.
Yang: You’re wrong, Petey–Trump is a symptom. Score.
Liz says people are losing faith in gov, but she’s behind the reality. It’s gone.
Bern shitslams Trump and notes Romney’s moral act. But: forward not back.
Some fresh mod brings up Sulemani. Cool.
Pete: He was bad. It was stupid. Followup: He dodges on whether he’d a done it.
Biden: There was no imminent threat. (His answer is quite perfect; really.)
Sanders version of the Q: You said assassination! (It was. And the answer is equally ideal.)
(Mod gets points off for that shit.)
Liz tries to finesse the troops question. It’s gross. Biden outflanks her to the right. It’s expected.
Pete gets snide, and correctly so, with Uncle Joe.
Steyer says quit being the world police and he’s right just like Pete before him and pisses Joe off.
Sanders says: They lied, Joe bit. I led the opposition. By the way, fuck the wall. By the way, climate change bitches. So fuck yeah,
It’s a field goal at the end of the first quarter.
Pete aces the drug question, although he’s mainly against locking up white opiod users.
Yang does it better, noting the connection between capitalism and addiction.
Klobuchar bombs it with a pay-for argument.
Guns. Mod hits Bernie as a gun nut, which is stupid. Bernie volleys. Mod shits on him again in a question to Joe, and Joe takes the bait laid out for him. Disgusting.
Liz says it’s corruption and she’s correct.
Courts and abortion. Joe blithers. Liz says make it a goddamn law and she’s right. Amy says, yeah, what Liz says. Bernie kills it. Steyer maims it.
Booty takes a hit on race, and he tacks back on opiods, in a properish way, but the black woman mod follows up and grills his ass for lying and uselessness. Mod then punts over to Liz and she finishes his ass off. Then Yang spins on Liz and says UBI helps blacks more than any other of this shit. Steyer: reparations! And only me! Joe! Join me! (Joe says uh… no.)
Bernie: This culture is racist top to bottom. Broken. Fuck jails and especially private prisons. Fuck the war on drugs. Fuck you Steyer don’t interrupt me.
Joe and Tom kill the rest of the conversation with stupidity.
OK Bernie: Your Nina said Joe betrayed blacks. What up? Bernie doesn’t agree (Foolish.)
Amy says racism is a voting problem … Liz says all these white people on stage are hypocrites (she ain’t wrong). Steyer wants a Commission, maybe a museum or some shit. Yang says–they’re poor and gettin’ poorer and so is everybody else–it’s an econ question.
OK LIz. What about Bloomberg? She says fuck billionaires and the whorses that suck their tits.
Amy: Money is icky. Overturn Citizens United (I’m with her that far.) The coffee can again!
Bernie: I’m not you, Pete, you billionaire sucking pantyboy.
Pete: We need their money or we’ll lose. Especially me ’cause I’m so poor.
OK Bernie. Tell us the NH senators have it wrong on the cusp of the primary.
Bernie: They’re fucking wrong. Thank you. Climate. Justice. Now.
Amy: But Bernie they’re women you bastard. And I voted with them ( … god help us)
Liz and Steyer, they’re with Bernie. On the climate thing, okay.
Amy gets all pissy at Tom. And Trump. Pointless.
Two-minute warning.
Closing Question: Childhood Poverty. Hmm. Okay. Not bad Snuffleuph.
Yang: Poverty is the new normal and it sucks. UBI. Everybody poor, but everybody valuable.
Pete: What do you measure? It should be income growth. This isn’t even an answer. Bleh.
Warren: I taught SPED. Invest in children! There should be a plan. Oh wait I got one.
Biden: I was poor sorta. I was a single father. Kids are kite strings. Get the kids jobs WTF. God no.
Bernie: Our priorities are determined by the 1% and they don’t give a shit about anyone else. My Presidency will be working class. Fuck yes.
Amy: We will throw money at the problem. If we get enough voters. Some story about a guy … I might cry … I got a new slogan. See?
Steyer: Republicans suck. The better America is in our hearts. His bit is painful to the ear, and it ends with the cymbals kicked over
But Warren shakes Bernie’s hand without incident.
TYT postgame …
Bernie won in spite of the hateful mods. (You’re right, TYT, but your analysis is stale.)
They call Steyer second. Maybe so, yeah.
Amy third? Eh. She hates Pete now (so say we all).
AND HE LOST.
Heh.
