Bernie is a secret Chinese Communist, I knew it

 

[Manmademan]

You can't promise that shit lol

yeah that was a HILARIOUSLY bad answer by bernie on jails

 

[Jenov]

Did she just respond to reducing the black prison population by saying "improve the schools"? Came off a bit more victim blamey than I bet she meant it to.

No, she said incarceration wasn't the only problem that needs fixing, that the nation has racism plaguing other systems, like educations, and employment. It was a very smart answer.

 

[Kthulhu]

What's the point in having insurance if you can't afford the dentist. Holy hell.

Welcome to the American healthcare system. She can technically afford it, but she will have to cut back on spending by a lot in the short term. She pays for her own insurance too, our company's insurance is more expensive..

 

[Ashodin]

Free those in prison. Definitely a good message to get out.

 

[Prodigal Son]

Big promise Bernie. Luv et

 

[Mr Cola]

Lol, their answers are basically identical. Good stuff.

Whats interesting is whoever answers first pretty much takes the thunder out of the others answers, so the person who goes next has to skirt around and try to find something new to add or say.

 

[Psychoward]

every question except the first one has been directed at hillary

 

[OpinionatedCyborg]

China is communist? Bernie needs to learn what communism is.

communist with chinese characteristics

 

[Team Alucard]

Bernie gonna issue pardons to all federal criminals.

 

[Hoje0308]

People can argue all they want about the tactics employed by BLM, but what are the chances this discussion would be happening at a presidential debate without them?

 

[Trojita]

Black lives matter has really mattered. It's incredible to see Bernie and Hillary speak directly on black issues instead of around them.

It's pretty amazing. He sounds sincere which is great.

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

Hillary's jacket looks like a raincoat from Back to the Future II.

 

[Officerrob]

You can't promise that...

 

[The Technomancer]

That is a duuuuuuumb question and Hillary is right to dodge it

 

[ivysaur12]

What a weird question.

 

[Zyae]

Why would he pledge that? How? I'm all for it but how would it happen?

stop locking people up for drug offenses

 

[Slayven]

Preach sister girl

 

[lastflowers]

Hildawg's looking good. Answers are good. Best this campagin, imo.

 

[OrangeGrayBlue]

Race relations ARE better because we're finally talking about race in a meaningful way.

Edit- yes, Hillary.

 

[shinra-bansho]

Clinton outright saying, "it's racism." Not sure if that will play well or not.

The China thing... really sounds like a strange promise to make...? Like, I get wanting to address the systemic problems.

 

[Condom]

Dark side of the racism

 

[Makai]

What was Bernie's promise?

 

[brochiller]

Goddamn these mics are by far the worst performers of this debate. Can't take this shit.

 

[Brinbe]

hugging up on Bams

 

[SolarPowered]

Wow that's a big promise by Sanders.

I think he meant we'd have less people in prison than China after 8 years of him but he flubbed it. Not a big deal.

 

[Deleted member 13876]

Hillary's jacket looks like a raincoat from Back to the Future II.

Kill Bill.

 

[Horns]

Thought I read that Wisconsin is one of the upcoming states that Bernie is polling well in.

 

[RPGCrazied]

Demilitarizing police and making them look a bit more like the communities they serve is definitely important stuff. That bit about having more people in prison than China which is a country four times our size was good stuff.

Yeah, what I saw in Furgeson was disgusting. I didn't even know anyone else had that kinda stuff save the Military.

 

[Psychoward]

because nobody had the internet or iphones in 2008

 

[maabus1999]

Wow that's a big promise by Sanders.

That was terrible since it's states and private prisons causing the problem. Sanders would have to change the constitution in that regard. Best they can do is decriminalization and change federal sentencing hoping states follow suit.

 

[Dan]

Can we talk about ways in which their potential administrations would actually achieve any of these ideas? Something other than "I don't like this statistic, it should be different!"

 

[pigeon]

She has them, she's just too calculated.

She's a woman. Having too many emotions would disqualify her from the presidency.

Good and accurate answer on race relations. Things got better in the sense that it became more obvious how terrible they were all along.

 

[Raxus]

China is communist? Bernie needs to learn what communism is. China is fully capitalist.

It is communist in terms of politics. Hell they have some shady manipulation of their dollar thanks to the government having control over the banks.

 

[SURGEdude]

Bernie gonna issue pardons to all federal criminals.

Give me a break.

Spoiler

Or you owe me a KitKat bar

 

[Big Baybee]

stop locking people up for drug offenses

And free the ones already in prison? I'm all for it but that shit ain't happening.

 

[LaNaranja]

No, that there are other issues that affect the black community.

It was in the context of systemic racism.

ah ok I stepped away for a moment and just read the question on the screen.

 

[excelsiorlef]

People can argue all they want about the tactics employed by BLM, but what are the chances this discussion would be happening at a presidential debate without them?

0%

BLM has done wonders.

 

[Rubenov]

When Hillary praises Obama I think she's legit about it. I wouldn't have thought so a year ago.

 

[Pastry]

Bernie is like what can I promise next

 

[ivysaur12]

This is such a good answer, Hill.

Proud of both of my Dems tonight.

 

[Hoje0308]

What was Bernie's promise?

To lower our incarceration numbers.

 

[royalan]

What a great answer from Hillary on a question that was indirectly asking her to criticize Obama.

 

[TI82]

Kill Bill.

was my first thought lol

 

[vikki]

Bernie is a secret Chinese Communist, I knew it

Do you think that would help him in the polls?

 

[nib95]

The crowd seems to have greater favour for Hilary. Or maybe I'm just misinterpreting the cheer differences or something. Might change answer to answer.

 

[A Human Becoming]

I'm not really sure what Obama has done for African Americans. It feels like Republicans tied his hands to do much at all in that department.

 

[HylianTom]

Wall street? Really?

 

[User1608]

Yeah, I think no matter the choice we will continue on the path to fixing this problem down the road but it is a long difficult one sadly due to how many roadblocks we put up in the recent years.

Yeah, it's unfortunate. Sad as it is, there will continue to be injustice but we must also never give up, and I do hope that whether Hillary or Bernie win that things improve as much as possible too.

 

[Slayven]

Did she just respond to reducing the black prison population by saying "improve the schools"? Came off a bit more victim blamey than I bet she meant it to.

You do know black students are punished at a higher rate then other students right, and funneled into the from the kindergarden to jail pipeline?
