Hmm, good counter Hil.

 

[Ashodin]

Here comes Sanders' stumble on foreign policy guh.

 

[painey]

watching a debate with Bernie is like watching a Mayweather fight. A great jab, and you're yelling 'hit 'em again!' and .. nothing. It's going to points. Always going to points. No killer instinct

 

[Verano]

Bernie so good

 

[watershed]

Bernie has some odd cut away faces.

 

[RustyNails]

But the question is about Afghanistan

 

[Juice]

Continually blown away by Clinton. I feel like this is a stronger debate performance than I can remember her having since NH comeback week in 2008.

 

[campfireweekend]

An extreme left would drag the average left. All the extreme right being so loud is dragging the Democrats right. So... yes, yes SOMEONE has to be extreme left to keep it in balance.

The country is moving left. This can be quantitatively shown. That our political system does not reflect this, due to gerrymandering and off year elections, is a problem with the system, not the lack of an extreme left.

 

[Seventy70]

Bernie repeats things too many times in debates. He needs to be more human.

 

[disastermouse]

She is a good debater. She'll destroy any conservative. I think her advisors prepared her for a more aggressive Sanders and he's not having it.

Not if it's Trump. He'll hit her again and again with campaign contributions and SuperPACs and Wall Street contributions.

 

[B-Dubs]

Bernie, you realize that's what's been going on right? It's not like the Middle East has been sleeping and we've been doing all the work against ISIS.

 

[eBay Huckster]

Of course there is, because the smaller they are, the less financial and political potency they possess, and the more dispensable they will be in the long run. A massive bank failing, one of only a few major institutions, is far less manageable and more detrimental, than a much smaller bank failing, and one that is one of many.

In the long run, all this does is shift risk to less-regulated institutions while doing absolutely fuck all to guarantee the financial solvency of anyone outside of the banking bogeyman.

I say grotesquely facile when I refer to the New Left's view of banking because it completely ignores any and all negative consequences of preventing certain levels of individual systemic risk.

 

[Chie Satonaka]

"Go to my website" needs to be an outlawed term in any goddamned debate.

It's the political version of "check out my mixtape".

 

[Lights and Waves]

Bernie why are you even trying?

"I voted against the war in Iraq." is a completely inadequate response at this point.

"A vote in 2002 is not a plan to defeat ISIS."

BAM

Shinku Hadoken from Hillary!

 

[params7]

Man, Bernie sucks at foreign policy.

"Hilary, good stuff on ISIS. Agreed. By the way, remember when you voted for the Iraq War?"

Bernie > Hillary on foreign policy. He just has problems saying he's fully anti-regime change since it differs so much with mainstream politics on both DNC/RNC. He should be clear about it.

 

[Effect]

He's so weak in foreign policy. Why did he suddenly start screaming?

 

[ivysaur12]

I feel like someone of Bernie's dovish wing is right on foreign policy, but I don't think he's nearly as well versed in this topic as he needs to be.

Which is really bad, since the executive has so much purview over it.

 

[chadskin]

Way not to answer the question, Sanders.

 

[Officerrob]

There will be an entire debate on foreign policy during the general, that's a SCARY thought with Bernie as the nominee

 

[Epsilon-delta]

Some damaging shit already seen in those speeches. The video where she blames homeowners for the financial crisis is GOLD.

That will be probably used in attack ads by the GOP nom.

 

[SaviourMK2]

"...It could be President Sanders"

Hillary looked like she was reaching for a Tommy gun

 

[gutter_trash]

The country is moving left. This can be quantitatively shown. That our political system does not reflect this, due to gerrymandering and off year elections, is a problem with the system, not the lack of an extreme left.

the country has moved so Far-Right in three decades, there is not much any more Right you can go

 

[Grover]

Did anyone catch that look that Bernie gave?

did it look like this?

 

[ActStriker]

Anything stopping one from picking the other as their VP?

 

[Donthizz#]

Bernie has no clue about Afghanistan lol

 

[VendettaRed07]

Jesus Christ Bernie. He's as bad on foreign policy as Hillary is on campaign finance

 

[Paskil]

Not even talking about Afghanistan.

 

[Esch]

i love the "war for the soul of Islam" line, genuinely.

Has this anime-esque punch to it

 

[the_id]

I think I've heard this quote by King Hussein of Jordan already in the last debate by Bernie.

 

[NullPointer]

Man, Bernie sucks at foreign policy.

"Hilary, good stuff on ISIS. Agreed. By the way, remember when you voted for the Iraq War?"

Yes, let us forget that we keep creating the very enemies we end up having to fight with our war machine.

But hey, that vote, and that war was years and years ago, so its OK to ignore that history and its lessons. And as we're being reminded in this very debate, we're still there with no end in sight.

This is why we keep repeating history.

 

[brochiller]

His policy on the middle East makes so much sense.

 

[And_Gignac]

I dont see how Sanders plan is his "weak spot". Its the logical, not imperialistic way.

 

[danm999]

Bernie is lost on this Afghanistan question.

 

[harSon]

Bernie repeats things too many times in debates. He needs to be more human.

He doesn't flesh anything out and constantly goes back to his stump speech.

 

[Ionic]

I dont see how Sanders plan is his "weak spot". Its the logical, not imperialistic way.

People picked up a narrative and they can't drop it.

 

[supergiz]

did it look like this?

nah eyes wide open turned to side lol

 

[ATF487]

Not sure if I like Bernie's general ignorance or Hillary's hawkishness more.

 

[exmachina64]

Anything stopping one from picking the other as their VP?

They'd be handicapping themselves.

 

[A Human Becoming]

You mean all the time?

I agree with him not to keep Americans in perpetually warfare and to aid Muslims to deal with the problem.

 

[Prodigal Son]

People wanting to put buts on the ground to fight isis bafle me. What do you think they want you to do? Why the fuck do you think they've been filming themselves burning people? They're literally baiting. They want that.

 

[Bruce Springsteen]

I knew sanders would stumble once foreign policy would come up

 

[Hasphat'sAnts]

Of course there is, because the smaller they are, the less financial and political potency they possess, and the more dispensable they will be in the long run. A massive bank failing, one of only a few major institutions, is far less manageable and more detrimental, than a much smaller bank failing, and one that is one of many.

A derivative could be traded seven different ways and carry counter party risk for multiple institutions and before long even the small banks could have enough skin in the game to pose systemic risk.

Lol Afghanistan Bernie Afghanistan

[Epsilon-delta]

watching a debate with Bernie is like watching a Mayweather fight. A great jab, and you're yelling 'hit 'em again!' and .. nothing. It's going to points. Always going to points. No killer instinct

So, Bernie barely gets hit and humiliates his opponents?

 

[campfireweekend]

the country has moved so Far-Right in three decades, there is not much any more Right you can go

The presence of an extreme left is what necessitated that rightward move.

Do you guys not remember the 70s?

 

[B-Dubs]

Oh shit, moderators going in.

 

[brochiller]

Why is Hillary always smiling when there's no reason to smile? It's so off putting.

 

[Linkyn]

Jesus Christ Bernie. He's as bad on foreign policy as Hillary is on campaign finance

I don't know. Hillary looks bad against Bernie on some of these financial questions, but the arguments he's using would be completely hollow coming from a Republican candidate.
