The June 26 and June 27, 2019 Democratic Debates Thread

Didn't see a thread for this, figured I'de make one.

The first Democratic Debates are Wednesday June 26 and Thursday June 27, 2019.

Both debates are in Miami and will air from 9:00pm - 11:00pm Eastern Standard Time.

They will air on American Cable TV on NBC, MSNB and Telemundo. Telemundo will be broadcast in Spanish and I'm 100% positive that Telemundo will translate as they see fit. God bless assimilation.

If you don't have Cable (I'm assuming most RVF members cut the Cable chord already), NBC is doing a livestream on their Facebook, Twitter and YouTube accounts.

I'm hesitant to advertise for those NBC livestreams though, perhaps Right Side Broadcasting is doing a livestream and someone can link to their YouTube livestream link later on (as I didn't see anything at 2:00pm EST)?

Here's the lineups and information, CNN gave a good rundown but I'm not going to link them:

The Wednesday debate will feature:
Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts
Former Rep. Beto O'Rourke of Texas
Sen. Cory Booker of New Jersey
Former Housing and Urban Development Secretary Julian Castro
Rep. Tulsi Gabbard of Hawaii
Washington Gov. Jay Inslee
Sen. Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota
Mayor Bill de Blasio of New York
Former Rep. John Delaney of Maryland
Rep. Tim Ryan of Ohio

The Thursday debate will feature:
Former Vice President Joe Biden
Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont
Mayor Pete Buttigieg of South Bend, Indiana
Sen. Kamala Harris of California
Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand of New York
Sen. Michael Bennet of Colorado
Author Marianne Williamson
Rep. Eric Swalwell of California
Businessman Andrew Yang
Former Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper

How were the debate stages decided?
Candidates had to qualify for the first debates by either receiving at least 1% support in three polls from an approved list of pollsters or receiving campaign contributions from 65,000 unique donors, including 200 donors each from 20 different states.

NBC divided the 20 qualifying candidates into two groups: those with polling averages at 2% or higher and those whose polling averages are under 2%. NBC then did a random selection, dividing up the top tier and lower tier into the two nights.

What are the rules for the debates?

Candidates have one minute to respond to questions and 30 seconds for follow-ups, according to NBC News. Each two-hour debate will be divided into five parts with four commercial breaks.

Candidates will not have the opportunity to make opening remarks but will be given time for closing statements.

I dont see how people who are aware of the shit show that is democracy can even stomach watching these. Its just for show.

May be in the EU and UK its entertaining but the US is so cucked and 1 sided its a joke.
 
Respectfully, this thread isn't necessary and should be closed.

The Democrat 2020 predictions thread is the main thread for general 2020 DEM election discussion (including debate discussion).

Furthermore, there is gonna be like 5 to 10 more DEM debates before one of the democrats even makes it to Trump and we don't need a separate thread for each debate.

Suggestions for drinking game?

I would say drink every time someone brings up racism or discrimination but I have to work tomorrow.

I should've put on the list of things that don't have a chance of being talked about tonight with Censorship.

No way anybody mentions Reddit The Donald being quarantined on Reddit today. Some of the posters on here seem to be pretty high on Yang and Tulsi, but I don't see them bringing this up either. They're going to keep their mouths shut about their opposition being shutdown on all these different platforms, when ironically both of them are going to get silenced all in due time as well for not being completely out in left field.

This is a good thread. We had threads like this in 2016. One famously foresaw the day when Paul Ryan will be (rightfully) eaten by a bear.

This election contest will be a real doozy as a historical event. Let's enjoy this.

Beto looks nervous, you can see him looking at his notecards. What a cuck.

EDIT - Dude is speaking in Spanish in an American Presidential Candidate Debate.

Diversity Is Our Greatest Strength.

They're giving Warren a lot of face time tonight.

I can see why Tulsi made an introduction speech not relevant to the question that they asked her. They're not going to go back to her much tonight I don't think.

Where is SS at he's got to be going crazy if he's watching this - Beto's been giving those globalist hand signals all night they're the same ones Merkel does all the time:

More Spanish. As somebody who speaks Spanish as a second language, this is absolutely disgusting. You'll never see Mexican Presidential Candidates debating in English.

"We need illegal immigrants to work in our factories and start small businesses" ... Thanks Kloab -- I guess there's no hope for existing American citizens and legal residents to accomplish that...
