Biden already started by blowing Obama tonight :wacko:. We get it, Obama liked you.

Biden complaining that nationalized healthcare is impossible :facepalm:. How about we stop paying to defend the EU. We spend 55% of our national budget on defense, how about we spend 30-25%.

Healthcare debate

 

Warren making a very big mistake in the healthcare debate, but then she makes a comeback with a great joke. She still won’t reveal her plans though, that’s a turn off for me.

 

Biden seeming to win moderates as expected.

 

Bernie getting big cheers when talking about socialized healthcare.

 

Biden tells Bernie that “This Is America” when Bernie begins talking about how much better Canada’s healthcare is than ours. People seem to like that, but Canada’s is better. 

 

Kloubachar trying to compete with Biden for the centerists. She might have the strongest performance in the first quarter.

 

Buttigeig proposing that we slowly move towards Medicare For All.

 

Harris only wants to talk about Trump. That’s not going to work forever. She mentions McCain beating Trumps attempt to get rid of ACA. First time McCain has ever gotten a cheer at the Democratic debate.

 

Obama has never received more credit for the things he did in his life :d

Castro goes hard after Biden in the healthcare debate. Biden has been killing Bernie on facts checks, but Castro nails Biden with one. Castro really hammers Biden. It is not a good look for either Biden or Castro.

 

Castro tells Biden that he is killing Obama’s legacy and the crowd goes wild. Debate briefly descends into chaos. Yang gets everyone to clan with a slightly racist joke.

Believe or not every candidate on the stage thinks racism is still a huge problem in America.

Harris gets nailed on her criminal justice record. There goes my candidate:facepalm:. She on the record as once being against the legalization of pot and outside police investigations. That’s inexcusable really.

Univision’s representative hits Biden hard on immigration. Biden refuses to talk about his immigration record. He helped deport the most people in American history.

It’s been a while anyone’s said anything meaningful to me. Trade doesn’t really matter to me. I don’t care about economics. I care about not getting shot, making sure I have access to healthcare, and making sure my friends don’t get deported.

      Lots of people do though. They may be unhappy with it, but I don't see anybody physically attacking the centre of power just yet. Four years ago, that's when we really saw people genuinely refusing to accept the result en masse. This time even the losing candidate, as they should, conceded shortly after the election. Which should obviously be normal, but last time that happened was already 8 years ago.

      I still can't get over the shock!   Many thanks to all the juries who voted for . From the number of points, it looks like you either loved or hated the song. Nothing in between. I was quite curious to see how the scoring for a stereotypical four-chord song would develop. And it looks like the mainstream has won this time.    At the same time, I want to congratulate  @Belle for a great and exciting battle, and also  @Erigert for the first podium! I am already looking forward to seeing you on this ground next year. I must not forget the great organization of   @Cinnamon Bun! Great job! I realize that during the organization there were many obstacles that you had to deal with. My admiration for you is even greater.    As the winner of the competition, I am happy to take over the hosting from Great Britain (who took over the hosting from us the year before). I will try to create an even more impressive event than when held the competition two years ago.   ... Mikolas Josef also saying a big thank you

      Yeah, his first season was a letdown since he was injured most of the time. But he's played in all 15 league games this season so far   http://www.90minut.pl/wystepy.php?id=42090&id_sezon=105

      Looks like NHL players are going to be allowed in the next 2 Olympics, if you are to believe a Bulgarian website, that quotes Bettman. Not sure how serious this info is.

      Sad to see that my top 3 didn’t win, but at least know that they have a fix place in my Spotify playlist now hehe (Hungary, France and Greece. The Dutch one I hear it every now and then in the radio and at new years anyway)   nice contest with some good music, and congrats for all the huge effort from the organiser in making this happen, it really is a fun tradition even if we’re not that many anymore

      Being sad about a result isn't quite the same as not accepting... Haven't heard about any democrats trying to overturn the democratic election so far
