Debates II

Fresh rankings after watching both nights of the second round.

Williamson and Gravel*
Sanders and Warren
Inslee and Castro

Yes I would still vote Dem for you:
Buttigieg
Yang
Booker
Gabbard
deBlasio (fucking fire Pantaleo, dude)
Gillebrand
Harris (I did like your closing statement)
O’rourke

Unacceptably Incremental in the Hillary mode:
Bennett
Klobuchar
Ryan
Delaney
Bullock
Hickenlooper
Biden (I kind of pity you actually … 30330?)

Apparently dead issues:
Abrams
Moulton
Swalwell
Messam
Sestak

*I don’t think for example that Mike Gravel would make a great president in 2020. Just like I don’t think abolishing ICE actually matters. But he (and she) are up in first place for the same reason that I’m glad some people say they want to get rid of ICE. These things push the grander Debate in helpful directions. Marianne’s interview with Cenk is similar. Do I want a President who is still in the process of making up her mind on Medicare for all? Not really. But the fact that she exists and is willing to evolve on camera is pretty cool.
