Okay, fair enough. But I think that’s obvious enough that most voters could figure it out. ---

Okay, the moderator needs to interrupt them and say look bitches, I’m asking you questions, you answer them. This debate is actually worse than the Trump/Biden debates in terms of staying on topic, believe it or not. ---

It makes me wonder at some point whether calling her the most liberal ever!!!11 will backfire. The Trumpists are already going to hate anyone left of Hitler, but a lot of people on the left are probably hearing “more liberal than Bernie Sanders, eh? Well maybe I should vote for Biden” ---

> [@Smapti](#): > > Remember when John Kerry was “the most liberal member of the Senate”? Remember when Sanders’ opponents in the democratic party said he’d be creamed as the most liberal member of the party? That Trump would wipe the floor with him calling him a socialist? And now Harris is worse than Sanders according to Pence. Simpler times indeed. ---

But tRump didn’t suspend “all travel from china”. It allowed us nationals and many others. ---

Over 400,000 people traveled from China after the “travel ban” just by the beginning of April. There was no travel ban. ---

> [@Whack-a-Mole](#): > > And now Harris is worse than Sanders according to Pence. This is why I was never concerned with that. “They’re going to paint Sanders as a radical socialist!!!” Yes… like they always do. Like they’re doing for Joe Fucking Biden. You scream “most soicalist liberal communist ever!” at your political opponents for enough decades and it loses its power. What are they gonna say, “Bernie is the most liberal socialist ever and we were always lying about that before but we mean it now!” ---

When I hear people characterizing Harris as the “most liberal member of the Senate”, I picture Bernie Sanders saying: “What am I? Chopped liver?” ---

Exactly. It was banning entry to the US of any and all Chinese nationals _only_ that made it xenophobic and ineffective. ---
