1. Will find something

else to do. Had enough of the same points over and over. Ready to move on.

[mysteryowl]

2. Not me. I want to see what Biden says about the issues.

[TwilightZone]

10. You actively avoided every debate and any source that would have told you?

That's curious. And unlikely.

[mysteryowl]

19. The truth is, it is hard for me to listen to Biden speaking, so I don't.

I believe in progressive approaches to issues. I hope Bernie can help to move Biden to be more progressive.

[emulatorloo]

18. See here for a preview of where Biden stands on the issues

25. Did you happen to miss his website? n/t

[Laelth]

3. Me too! n/t

[showblue22]

4. I am too.

I hope Biden confronts the lies Bernie's campaign has been saying about Biden.

[a kennedy]

5. Sorry, not watching......

Just want one of them to come out not being hurt by the other.

6. It will be used as a platform to smear the Democratic party. This charade needs to end. NOW.

I am looking forward to hearing Biden's responses to the issues. I know Bernie's position, but I don't know Biden's.

Yes, I'm sure. It's like the very first time any of this as EVER been discussed anywhere at all and we've all been living in a cave without electricity or WIFI. GMAFB!

You know perfectly well that it will be used as a platform to smear the Democratic party. This charade needs to end. NOW.

This serves no good purpose. It's just giving false hope to Bernie's most die-hard fans... and it will make their transition and acceptance of reality unnecessarily difficult.

Although the Democratic party will be his main target, it won't be the only target. It's the high-level staff members who will attack Biden with RW talking points and other smears that originate in Russia to the likes of Cenk Uygur, Michael Moore, Cornell West, David Sirota, Brianna Gray, Nina Turner, Matt Orfalea, Phillip Agnew. Afterward, Bernie will try to act all "shocked" that they're "going rogue" without his approval.

As Biden and his campaign and all other stalwart Democrats strive to show how the Democrats are BETTER than the GOP... Bernie is busy telling everyone that there's "no difference between Democrats and the GOP" and "both parties are the same". And that the Democrats "are the party of the one-percent" and that we're "corrupt".

I keep waiting for some Bernie fan somewhere to please explain to me how these LIES and smears against the party do anything other than create resentment and suspicion? How does it encourage voters to support Democrats? It's nothing but negativity. Negativity generates apathy. Apathy discourages voter turnout. Low voter turnout gives Republicans a chance to steal the elections.

[mysteryowl]

14. I have a different opinion than you.

[TwilightZone]

7. If you don't know Biden's positions on the issues by now...

I would guess you haven't tried very hard. There have been 10 debates and the information is readily available from a variety of sources, including his website.

[mysteryowl]

11. You are correct. I am a progressive.

[TwilightZone]

13. So, you intentionally remain ignorant of the policies of other candidates?

Sure, you do.

[MFM008]

24. So am i

And i support Joe.

[mysteryowl]

36. Biden is a moderate and probably conservative on many issues

I will see what he has to say Sunday.

[Sunsky]

34. Is that the excuse for being uninformed nowadays?

I'm not progressive but I was a Warren supporter and I've listened to Sanders' proposals many times. I gave every candidate the respect of listening to what they had to offer.

[nolawarlock]

26. Thank you!

I am constantly asked by people on my Facebook wall what Biden's stand on the issues are. I give them a link to the Joe's Vision section of his website. Then, invariably, I get, "oh wow. I didn't know where he stood."

I try to be gracious and magnanimous but, really, how long have websites been a thing now? Talk about willful ignorance.

[thucythucy]

8. Really? At this point you don't know Biden's "responses to the issues"?

You didn't watch any of the other debates?

You don't have access to the internet (obviously a rhetorical question) and can't go to his website where various plans are spelled out?

Here, let me help:

https://joebiden.com/joes-vision/

The debate serves no purpose at this point. All it does is to stoke Bernie's need to be seen, and the KGoP's need for ammunition against Democrats in November.

[mysteryowl]

12. I did not watch the debates with all the fighting.

Can't stand the fighting.

[thucythucy]

16. Well, I'm with you there.

I thought the "moderating" was awful. Lots of attempted "gotcha" questions designed to encourage a food fight.

Imagine, the Lincoln/Douglas debates lasted for hours--hour long orations, half hour long answers to questions.

Almost impossible to imagine anything close to that today.

[mysteryowl]

17. I hope the format is reasonable.

With just the two of them, they should get 5 minutes each. None of this 30 second crap.

[yaesu]

9. I am too. nt

[mysteryowl]

15. Great.

[zackymilly]

20. Not watching. Same ol' arm waving Bernie. I'll wait for the hightlights, if there are any. n/t

[IluvPitties]

21. Enjoy it.

Our nominee, Joe Biden, will have a strong performance for sure.

[mysteryowl]

22. Hopefully, he will develop a more progressive ideology.

To bring this party together, Biden needs to respect and bring in progressive approaches.
There are millions of progressive voters.

[dansolo]

31. His ideology is fine

Personally, the ideology of demanding the government pay for everything without addressing how it will be implemented or how much it will cost is completely unappealing to me.

[mysteryowl]

35. How about the military?

[Raine]

23. Me too

people have been wanting a debate with less candidates, well here it is!

[chillfactor]

27. I will find something else to do....

a fun movie, a good mystery book...tired of watching bernie throw his arms around and listening to him yelling.......will wait for DUer reponses instead for people braver then I am.

[CTyankee]

28. Bernie, please don't yell at me.

As a woman, I don't like it when a man shouts at me. And I don't care one bit if it is because he is so passionate for his cause. You can be passionate and not yell.

Thank you in advance.

[33taw]

29. Bernie needs to pass the torch to AOC and step aside.

[LizBeth]

30. Time to put Sanders to bed. We have been forced for 5 years to listen to Sanders and he is done.

[oasis]

32. One good thing: Bernie's fantasy proposals will go under the microscope. nt

[BidenBacker]

33. Here ya go, amigo...

I just saved you 2 hours having to watch yet another stupid debate so now you can go play a good video game instead. Try "Portal 2" or "The Talos Principle" in 3D...they'll both blow your socks off.

They've both been around for quite a few years but I figured if you don't know Biden's positions by now you might also be a little behind in video gaming as well.
