This guy from GOP just called DNC out saying they give hillary an unfair advantage by putting debates on "off times" where not as many people will watch and having less debates.




was so funny to hear because nobody would ever dare speak those words or make the claim in a prior election




pS: dem debate tonite

Yes, it's pretty obvious. The DNC is keeping Larry Lessig out even though he met every requirement for being included in this and the previous debate.

I'm sure there's other ways, but that's one big example.

I mean, Hillary crushed Bernie in prime time so this works out well for Bernie. Also, we already know who the nominee is going to be so the debates are kind of pointless.



Lessig was a horrible candidate. Who the fuck says they will resign as president after a single accomplishment?

He's more about raising awareness about the issue than being a serious candidate. Either way he made every qualification and should have been included.

You just now starting to realize elections are bullshit? Its kind of obvious....

Unfortunately, the issue isn't going to go away with a repeal of Citizens United. We've been combating this issue since the industrial revolution. At the end of the day, people need to be more aware of the world that they live in.

What the hell is an off-time? The first debate was on a Tuesday. Do they all need to be on a Thursday night? The DNC schedules these when it makes sense with the venues. Starting in Nevada and getting that candidate forum thing in in South Carolina was huge for Sanders -- it got him on the ground in states where he had near-zero involvement prior. I don't understand the pressing need is to declare every single thing to be some sort of conspiracy to aid Clinton/hurt Sanders. Clinton's an overwhelming frontunner, perhaps the most dominant frontrunner since the parties went to this system, and everything's going to look like it's working to her benefit even when it's really not.

Like I said at the time the decision to start the debates "later," which the Sanders people moaned about incessantly, benefited their candidate TREMENDOUSLY because it locked an overall narrative in place that was very beneficial to them -- Clinton has a problem with the emails because the press keeps asking questions because Clinton has a problem with the emails because... -- rather than letting the debates push policy to the forefront where Clinton would have a massive advantage, as we've seen. If these debates started in June like they wanted this race would be over. Joe Biden is a better debater than Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton beat him, and Barack Obama, considerably and consistently throughout countless debates. She isn't immune to stumbles but she's the superior debater.

The DNC wants to showcase their product and then let the campaigns get back to doing their work because these debates take way too much prep for what they're worth.



I didn't think he met the polling floor?

She doesn't need an advantage, they can't come up with more than 1 other candidate

no, he didn't have even 1%, which is the cut-off

No debate will be "bad" for Hillary. Everything is prepared and she is good at shilling shit.
The debates help Bernie much more than they would ever help or hurt Clinton, purely because they help him get some publicity. There is still a large portion of the DEMOCRATIC population in the country that has no clue who he even is, or where he stands. You can imagine how few republicans know him.
Sanders has always been right and continues to be so, while more and more people see that Clinton will say anything and pander to anyone about anything.
