Again, didn’t watch. Judging by all the complaining about how CNN handled the debates I’m seeing, I’m justified in skipping out, though. I’m personally pretty annoyed with the fact that there’s no stream available to watch the debate after the fact. Both nights of the debate began at 5pm my time, and I don’t get out until 5pm, so I was going to miss some no matter what. And I have stuff to do after work, too. C’mon, CNN, this is supposed to be information, not entertainment.
Also, I’m gonna need you people to simmer the fuck down about Marianne Williamson, who is a quack and a nutball, and Tulsi Gabbard, who is a dictator-loving weirdo. Knock it off, people, we’re picking a candidate to run the country, not the next star of a reality show. JFC.
At any rate, here’s a few articles’ worth of roundups and highlights and whatnot.
- NPR has highlights and a fact check.
- Here’s Vox’s “winners and losers” article.
- And here’s TPM with some debate takeaways.
