Democratic Primaries
Related: About this forumI'm not watching the debate...
First off, the fucking election is 15 months away. Secondly, the fucking election is 15 months away!
This bizarre 2 1/2 year election cottage-industry thing that's taken hold in the last 30 yrs is NOT healthy for our democracy (IMO). It only serves the media and other entities that profit off of the extended election cycle.
I'll pay closer attention after 1/1/2020. Until then, it's political masturbation.

(45,540 posts)many of these candidates will drop out in the next few months. Some already have. These debates are the only way some of these people can address a national audience with their policies and plans

(6,916 posts)Every second our media spends talking about a Dem debate is a second they are not talking about Republicans.
That is GOOD.
The debates are not interesting because were choosing a candidate now. Theyre interesting because we are watching the Democratic Party debate ISSUES and figure out what we stand for, and we are watching them tell the American people that.

(175,751 posts)Partly because the election is still so far off and partly because there are too damned many candidates. I'll watch when the numbers are more manageable so that all can be onstage at the same time.
