6th Democratic Primary Debate Discussion

[Marilyn MonHoe 11,011]

The debate, which is being co-hosted by PBS NewsHour and Politico, is being held on the campus of Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles. It's scheduled to start at 8 p.m. ET and run approximately three hours. There will be three commercial breaks, the hosts say.

There are four moderators — Judy Woodruff, Amna Nawaz and Yamiche Alcindor of PBS NewsHour and Politico's Tim Alberta.

Because of higher qualification thresholds, only eight candidates qualified for the debate stage, and one of them, Sen. Kamala Harris, has already dropped out of the race. The seven-candidate stage is intimate compared to October and November's debates, when there were 12 and 10 candidates, respectively.

The seven who are participating are former Vice President Joe Biden, South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg, Sen. Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota, Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont, billionaire activist Tom Steyer, Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts and entrepreneur Andrew Yang.

As was the case in earlier debates, stage position was determined by the polls that the Democratic National Committee used during the qualifying period, with the best-polling candidates in the center and the lower polling candidates fanning out to the sides. From left to right, the order is Yang, Buttigieg, Warren, Biden, Sanders, Klobuchar and Steyer.

No one else made this debate discussion thread, so I figured I could just do it myself

@Marilyn MonHoe when did they resolve the boycott mess? I totally missed it. 
EDIT: Wait, why did Andrew Yang publicity weigh in on the Camila situation yesterday? Can you imagine if by some ungodly force Camila mess makes it into the debate?

Today? 

[HorusRa2 5,005]

I’m going to be watching Star Wars during the debate. Somebody message me with the highlights if you pleaseeeee. 

[PartySick 172,543]

Kind of bored of these debates. Most people have made up their minds by now, right?

Here's hoping it's a good night for Warren

[rumours 45,521]

There’s a debate tonight?

I honestly haven’t heard anything about it at all. 

[ItsTommyBitch 12,640]

Here's hoping someone attacks Joe Biden but realistically they'll call it a victory for him regardless of what happens  He could call Obama the N word with a hard R tonight and they wouldn't cancel him, they can't afford to

Same. I'll still watch it tomorrow or something on YouTube like I always do, but these debates pretty much ask the same questions with the same answers from candidates. At this point, unless you're just really unsure people have their minds made up. Let's just hope more people have their minds made up that they're voting Democrat in 2020.

[REALITY 80,165]

I keep forgetting about these debates  This is the 3rd time in a row I've been caught off guard cause I forgot there was a debate 

[pachinko 10,754]

Is this tonight?
