Support NeoGAF

[excelsiorlef]

Did he just attack his own party?!!!

It was never his party. He joined it because he could never win as an independent.

He can't win as a Democrat either but that's beside the point

Bernie does talk about Wall Street a lot, but are we in denial that they are at the root of a lot of the infrastructural problems in this country?

Who cares if it looks bad if he is fundamentally correct?

It would be significantly more accurate to say that institutionalized racism is at the root of most of the infrastructural problems in this country.

Reading the debate thread on GAF and reddit is surreal.

Reddit seems convinced Bernie is mopping the floor with Clinton, Gaffers seem like they think Clinton has this.

Those responses are obviously going to vary, but it's fun to see how people differ in their view of the same events.

Bernie started slow, but he's parrying well with some specific rebuttals

 

[giga]

No, as in "structural." Basically money in politics is the root of all evil.

Wall Street isn't alone in private interest influence in Washington. They're one of many.

The one you support is the one who is winning.

 

[slightconfuse]

Hillary in Bernies wheelhouse right now

 

[Robot Pants]

Hilary getting stomped

 

[subrock]

Anderson Cooper sounds downright panicked trying to cut Bernie off here

 

[brainchild]

It hasn't been his party for very long, tbf.

His own party?

He's only became a democrat in order to run for the WH. He has no loyalty. (sound familiar?)

I understand this, but even so, it was a bold move.

 

[Michael F. Assbender]

Hilary getting stomped

For the first time tonight.

While Starscream did betray Megatron every so often it was for the good of Cybertron.

 

[Tesseract]

Neoliberalism

Rip worker class, Hillary doesn't have your back

 

[aronnov reborn]

Now Bernie is attacking the entire Democratic party.

Maybe he's trying to play his Trump card....

 

[ColdPizza]

Hilary's plan is to talk as long as she can so you forget what was asked.

 

[GoldenEye 007]

Eh, he's not wrong. He's showing he's no party lapdog.

Then maybe he should run as an independent and not use the benefits of having that (D) next to his name.

Debate threads are mostly just polls of the audience.

 

[danm999]

Cooper with them receipts.

 

[foxtrot3d]

Damn, Anderson is doing good work tonight.

 

[TheAbsolution]

Hillary is actually doing well here I think.

 

[GYODX]

It would be significantly more accurate to say that institutionalized racism is at the root of most of the infrastructural problems in this country.

I don't think so.

 

[Trojita]

If other countries like in Europe have such good policies, can we get universal single payer health care too?

Edit: I beat Bernie to it lol

 

[Tarkus]

Bernie started slow, but he's parrying well with some specific rebuttals

Parrying is great and all but it's all about the riposte

 

[Pineapple]

Bernie on fire tonight. Wow.

 

[Draper]

Fuck yeah Bernie

 

[ItIsOkBro]

I don't think so either!

 

[brainchild]

Bernie's killing it!

 

[Ashodin]

Bernie really captivating the crowds. Huge turnout INC for next states.

 

[User 463088]

Holy hell at the pivot.

Jesus.

 

[Suikoguy]

Hillary is actually doing well here I think.

He just torpedoed any chance he had with that attack on the Democrats.

 

[Poker Face]

that healthcare segway, yikes

come on bernie they're gonna get to it, just wait

and lol @ people thinking the democratic party comment is gonna hurt him.

 

[slightconfuse]

God damn Bernie with that Segway

 

[Michael F. Assbender]

Jesus Bernie, quit with the passive aggressive shit and the sarcasm. It's not a good look.

 

[neemmss]

I'm loving this. Anderson is doing a very good job and getting these viewpoints talked about.

 

[royalan]

Bernie is rambling now.

 

[googleplex]

Eh, he's not wrong. He's showing he's no party lapdog.

#3 reason Bernie shouldn't be anywhere near the presidency this cycle. He dose nothing for the extremely important down ticket races.

 

[lastflowers]

lol, knew it was coming. Great pivot by Bernie here.

 

[SoRuffShoNuff]

Hillary is right about foreign companies propping up their own companies.

 

[Wes]

Shoutout to the UK.

 

[DirtyManos]

What does this have to do with free trade markets Bernie.

 

[pigeon]

I don't think so.

That's cool, in America you have the right to be incorrect.

 

[SaviourMK2]

Did he just attack his own party?!!!

I don't wanna be the bearer of bad news, Sanders has always been Independant, he only joined the Democratic party to run for President as of last summer

 

[PhoenixDawn]

I definitely agree with the people saying Bernie needs to stop the pointing/hand waving when Clinton is talking. I know he's excited to talk about economics because that's his big issue, but it makes him come off as impatient or arrogant at times, imo.

 

[Grover Cleveland]

Clock man
clock

 

[Nokagi]

Love ya Bernie but you need some new talking points.

 

[kingocfs]

Hillary trying not to laugh at that pivot.

 

[foxtrot3d]

Why is he attacking Hilary with Healthcare? She agrees that we need universal health care.

 

[Pancakes]

I don't pretend to be an expert in these matters, but if 3/4 of the debate ends up being about the economy, wont that be better for Sanders, because it's the one area he's probably strongest on?

Not saying a win, but less chances he loses tonight...

There are many other issues that Americans are pissed about right now.

ISIS
Police Brutality
Systematic Racism
Immigration

etc etc.

Bernie is going around in circles about Wall Street and big corporations which yes are big issues, but it's not the only issue. And the way Bernie is talking about the Economy is about high level corruption and greed. Regular people just care about getting jobs back.

Matt Welch ‏@MattWelch 14m14 minutes ago

Bernie thinks international trade is a "race to the bottom." One billion people have been lifted out of poverty the last 25 years.

Things are getting way, way, way, way, way better for the standards of living for most people, but you wouldn't know it listening to political discourse, because everyone thinks in relative terms.

 

[AstroZombie]

Vote Hillary to support the oligarchy.

 

[Ambient80]

What is happening? Where the hell did this come from? Does he really want to attack Hillary on health care? That's almost as bad as attacking her on foreign policy...
