1. I sure hope it's

not two nights. I will support only true members of the Democratic Party.

[question everything]

2. Hope to see Bullock and Bennet there

[qazplm135]

4. why?

What do they bring that other candidates don't already bring? Either on policies or ideology?

It's time to narrow down the field.

[question everything]

6. Moderate. No "revolution." More appeal to independents

and Bullock winning in Trump country.

I don't know that either should be the nominees, but it is important to show the country that the Democratic party is not all about extremes from the young - "Squad" - to the old - Sanders, Warren. Or better yet, that the nominee will be a Democrat.

8. Biden?

Buttigieg? Klobachur? Harris?

Not young, only extreme for Biden is age, no extremes for the others. Moderate candidates for the most part.

Bullock won in one state. That does not translate to winning in Trump country.

We don't need a centrist white guy to win.

3. unfortunately it's probably going to be two days

I suspect at least one more candidate will get the requisite one more poll, probably Steyer.

[LincolnRossiter]

5. Steyer's pretty much guaranteed to qualify by 1 October, so it'll be two nights.

Upside is each night will be more manageable.

[question everything]

7. And thus, showing the country that the elections can be bought

[bluewater]

9. Money is "free speech" ever since Citizens United.

The problem is much bigger than just Steyer, but he is the most recent and glaring example.
