     She was grating with her failure to abide by the time limits. 

    On the topic of the time-limits. I thought about two things regarding that. One was Mayor Pete just going  with a full on "talk until they cut my mic" approach (which I can understand why they go with, and most do) but I actually noticed it and felt it was rude. He just jabbered on while someone else had the word.

    Then on the other side of that spectrum you had biden who just stopped talking mid sentence and was like "oh... I'm outta time". Which came off as very courteous, but like Joe - you could finish your sentence at least. And in the end he also asked "So, I got 30 seconds?" ort something. Seemed to really take the "rules" seriously. 

    Didn't think about Harris going over her time (Which they all do, except for Biden, do) but she had a heck of a lot of... *googling the word* "poise". Or authority I guess, everytime she started talking.

    And Gillibrand when she had the time to go in, she came off as very honest. Like in the debate about women's rights concerning health and how she and her female colleagues has had to fight for them with rooms full of men who have disregarded them. Strong stuff. She's good at monologuing. Comes off as 20% more honest doing it than Kamala "let me reach my rehearsed punchline" Harris.
    It took me half a year of Toastmasters to get to the point where I knew how to formulate and deliver an evidenced point within a fixed amount of time. If I can do it, they can too.

    Also, love the nicknames, you should apply for the Trump campaign to help. He’s a big fan of foreign assistance for campaigns.

    Who cares about these schmoes, Steve Bullock is the best democratic candidate to take on Trump. Currently it seems the party is scratching to find someone that can compete. Bullock may not appeal to the far left but he’s going to appeal a lot more to the bulk of voters that aren’t looking for another extreme candidate.
    Nobody knows who the fuck Steve Bullock is!
    Correct. Didn't he him and haw? Not announce, then announce, then take it back, then announce again? He seems fine, but people need to remember this is a vote for the base of one party, it's not the General. They're not competing or talking to non-Dems at the moment, or at least they shouldn't be.

    This will not be read because you are ignoring me, but,

    I also think they should be able to respect their given time  (like Biden, I guess maybe coming from another era where they were more respected(?)) - but I also understand why they shit on them to get their voices heard. Because there doesn't seem to be much punishment for doing so.

    The time they go over in the debate should be take away from their closing statement or something.

    Don't know why you needed to drop in a dig in the last sentence. But "ok".

    Sounds like a very, very, very, very homophobic thing to say.

    Wish there was an ignore option on shitty homophobia on here.
    I think @F Me In The Brain uses it so much that his autocorrect just defaults to buttplug. 

    Also, buttplugs are a bedroom staple of heterosexual relationships as well. Takes all kinds. The buttplug is not discriminatory, and you should not pigeonhole it. 
    The term "boy" is not discomanaroty in itself either. It takes a "term" and a "context"

    And I think the term and the context is pretty damn clear in @F Me In The Brain post
    I initially thought that for @Spiritual_Chaos to read it in such a way was in itself homophobic, but now I think that @Spiritual_Chaos might just have an unconscious bias when reading posts by @F Me In The Brain -- and that goes the other way, too. Y'all don't particularly like each other, and that can lead to misreading each others' posts and finding fault and controversy where there is none. 

    @F Me In The Brain says that he used the ignore function for @Spiritual_Chaos ; maybe it would be advisable for @Spiritual_Chaos to just ignore @F Me In The Brain for a while and see how it goes. Maybe a year or so from now one of you will see a post of the other's that's been quoted and chuckle to yourself or agree with a point he's making and see that y'all's beef is just silly. Or you'll both just remove unnecessary stress from your own lives, and go on your happy ways.

    I wish you both the best.
    What would be my problem with that user? I don't know anything about the person or who he/she is? Except for I guess, him/her liking "Backspacer".
    For some fans, that's all it takes. :lol:

    Seriously, though, that kind of proves my point. If you knew him, the thought would likely never cross your mind that he's homophobic. But you don't. All you know -- both of you -- is that you've been snippy with each other a few times on the internet, so that must mean you're online nemeses.

    Anyway, this exchange has given me a good not-so-secret Santa idea for you both. :rofl:

    The term "boy" is not discomanaroty in itself either. It takes a "term" and a "context"

    And I think the term and the context is pretty damn clear in @F Me In The Brain post
    I initially thought that for @Spiritual_Chaos to read it in such a way was in itself homophobic, but now I think that @Spiritual_Chaos might just have an unconscious bias when reading posts by @F Me In The Brain -- and that goes the other way, too. Y'all don't particularly like each other, and that can lead to misreading each others' posts and finding fault and controversy where there is none. 

    @F Me In The Brain says that he used the ignore function for @Spiritual_Chaos ; maybe it would be advisable for @Spiritual_Chaos to just ignore @F Me In The Brain for a while and see how it goes. Maybe a year or so from now one of you will see a post of the other's that's been quoted and chuckle to yourself or agree with a point he's making and see that y'all's beef is just silly. Or you'll both just remove unnecessary stress from your own lives, and go on your happy ways.

    I wish you both the best.
    What would be my problem with that user? I don't know anything about the person or who he/she is? Except for I guess, him/her liking "Backspacer".
    For some fans, that's all it takes. :lol:

    Seriously, though, that kind of proves my point. If you knew him, the thought would likely never cross your mind that he's homophobic. But you don't. All you know -- both of you -- is that you've been snippy with each other a few times on the internet, so that must mean you're online nemeses.

    Anyway, this exchange has given me a good not-so-secret Santa idea for you both. :rofl:

    It will join the yule log.

    That was homophobic.  Apologize pronto. Burning gays is never acceptable talk.

    Ignore makes this so much easier

    I took this screen grab to make a simple point.
    I seriously don't get what your simple point is.  Other people here obviously got it but I don't get what you're suggesting with this screenshot of what I said.
    Every time Bernie Sanders has a microphone in his face the first words out of his mouth are "Donald Trump is a racist." Ok.  Then I was reading comments from earlier in this thread wear Brianlux said he and his wife consider trump voters cultish.
    These accusations and stereotyping is why I said what I said.  It's getting to be so old and inaccurate.
    Because I highly disagree with both ridiculous claims.
    I'm not racist and I don't belong to any cults.
    And then the pictures of Hitler I don't get that either.
    Unless of course you are comparing a trump voter to Nazi Germany??  Really??

    None of those things is what he's saying, is my bet.  It has nothing to do with your post whatsoever.  Think of the inverse...

    I can't even watch it Brian.  I attempted to watch 5 minutes on Wed but it's just people yelling, raising their hands, and others trying to have their "moment".  It's worthless information to me.  I hope no one really adjusts any vote based on that.  I don't care who you vote for, just don't make a decision off of these abominations.  Fortunately I was flying last night so I didn't even have the option to watch.  To me, a debate is 2 to 3 people max.  I want to hear several minutes on a topic.  I really enjoy the presidential debates.  Always have.  Not this crap.  Wake me when we start voting and people have exited.

    I think you are to hang up on the climate change thing. Is there any democrat who doesnt want to bring the ”fight” back and get on the Paris agreemenr dag 1?

    Also - I wish a G20 summit was all about the en environment - and How we save it NOW. Because of it being a global and western made problem. 

    But a National debate need to bring up other things. Like e.g the US health care system being laughable.
