How come they’re getting what seems like 30 seconds to respond. Tooooooo ridiculous.

Cause with absolutely no background in politics, even she is more qualified than Trump as a Presidential candidate.

Because if you can’t solve gun crime or healthcare in 30 seconds or less, and those are just the simple things…

This is the worst format I’ve ever seen. I’d rather see the candidates put between two ferns and have them talk to one another without interference from those ridiculous moderators. This is bizarre.

Guess we and Josh are watching different debates… From the main page.

Steve Bullock is getting more time than just about any other candidate and he’s not being cut off like the others.
That’s just bullshit.

Not a great way to get people engaged to learn more about the candidates. It’s a turn off.

So earlier, Williamson goes off about false gods.
“And I will reestablish the worship of Zeus and we will have Dionysian revels twice a week!”

A lot of the wins from single payer come from the power of collective bargaining. If there is only a public option you still have the confusion over what is or isn’t covered, how is billing submitted, etc. And if there are other insurance players medical facilities can refuse to accept the government insurance. Better to take the insurance companies and let them offer supplemental coverage for people who want top tier coverage and let the government cover the basics.
That said, I think there are a number of ways to get to that point over time if a clean break isn’t politically feasible. But we need someone pushing for the more ambitious goals.

Meh. Consider that most people aren’t watching. Most people will consume it via highlights clips.
This format actually maximizes the fights that make good highlight rounds and soundbites for that.

As we learned from the last debate, JM’s take on how these debates are going/went are 180° off from the general consensus here.
At least last time we got a mea culpa the day after…

I have Medicare. Three years ago I had a heart attack requiring an ambulance ride, a couple of hours in the ER, and two nights hospitalization. My out of pocket expense was zero, zilch. I don’t know where you have gotten your “Medicare only pays 20%” talking point, but you’re mistaken.
