1. 7 pm watch delaney, 8 pm do laundry and take nap, 9 pm watch mayor pete nt

[ooky]

2. Ugh.

Did he just say we should "not go in the direction of socialism"? Did I hear that answer right?

Why didn't he just say democrats don't want socialism as a form of government, that its a fucking republican lie and boogeyman?

[msongs]

3. actually not watching any, having no tv, just watching one them even less lol nt

4. Perhaps the fact that some Democrats keep claiming they're socialists...

And let's be clear, when you have to stop and say "no, no, I'm a DEMOCRATIC Socialist" you've already lost the argument.

[ooky]

6. But which candidates have said they want socialism as our form of government?

None. And while I wish Sanders hadn't labeled himself that way I don't think we've already lost the argument because of him.

I think Delaney's answer was just a gaff on his part. But we need to push back on these lies, especially in "Town Hall" forums.

7. NONE, as you say; it's a red herring.

5. IMO 7 and 8 o'clock are the undercards.

Mayor Pete will surprise a lot of folks that aren't familiar with him. I'm really looking forward to watching him at 9:00!
