The biggest problem is that we haven't heard anything from these candidates. I'm not happy that the press has basically hidden these candidates.

[@Salsuero]

That's exactly the truth. The mainstream media pretends they don't exist at worst or are joke spoilers at best. Biden thinks he is owed a second term so he just blows them off. And the DNC is somehow acting on its own as the determiner of who we want to vote for. It's a disgrace. Both parties are a huge pile of steaming manure.

I'm mad at both the DNC and the media. If Biden can fight it out and win, he will be stronger for it. Any incumbent for that matter.

Yeah I had no idea any of these people were running until just now, and it's just as well because they're all batshit crazy. We all had an opportunity to have Ron Paul and now that ship has sailed. At this point we need RFK/Vivek, or Trump/Vivek.

It’s so refreshing to hear these three talk about real issues and possible solutions.

[@ev618]

Except, they do not have very good solutions! The two men agreed that to fix the migration problems U.S. should set up a plan to help Latin countries. It has been reported that it is not just people from countries south of the border illegally coming into America! It is people from 172 different countries are crossing our border illegally. How can America fix the problems of 172 countries? Not even realistic! And, Mary Ann wants all those FREE severices for everyone?!? America is already 34 Trillion in debt, where is the money going to come from for all those servises? Unrealistic! Nothing is free & once you become a mature adult, you realize that!

[@UnconventionalReasoning]

It's easy to talk about "real issues and possible solutions" when there is zero chance of being in a position to implement them.

[@tokarteam1]

@@UnconventionalReasoningok so what are you saying exactly. They should ‘not’ talk about real issues as presidential candidates? Or they shouldn’t be candidates at all? You will always have a corrupt government if your attitude towards real policy discussions is just nihilistic.

[@UnconventionalReasoning]

@@tokarteam1 Of course they should talk about their policy goals as much as possible. Uygar does it regularly on TYT. Rep Phillips has the explicit platform of the House floor. Williamson has written a number of books, she clearly has the means to express her goals. I'm saying that this specific platform is an ineffective one, because they are candidates in name only. This particular discussion is also completely useless because they say what they want the destination to be without describing any path to do that. This is the ultimate in "political promises to be broken". This is the fundamental flaw in the messaging by the left, ignoring that most of the country is wary of the goals being presented and extremely distrustful of the path that would be required to get there.

[@lam6572]

@@coolgamers2794 Both Biden & Trump are defenders of the power establishment. Although Biden’s administration has made significant policy improvements (more than many preceding both Republican & Democrat presidents), his HORRENDOUS , unconditional, “bombs-away!” support of Israel (at American taxpayers expense) may cost him re-election. As for Trump, we can rely on this self-serving wannabe King and loose cannon/con artist to remain loyal to his own class. Trump serves the donor ruling class even more than Biden. Trump and Biden are both pals of Netanyahu. Given that Biden is less corrupt than Trump, if forced again to make a crummy duopoly choice, I choose Biden…However, Independent candidate RFKJr. may yet become a viable option.

The idea of reparations is laughable - but at least it seems the only candidate using that to pander is Marianne. Philips is clearly not for it. And if you've seen Cenk's past videos on this proposition, he too is not in favor of it. One thing I can completely agree with all three on is that it's completely undemocratic to not just remove their names from the ballots, but former President Trump's name as well. It's undemocratic, unconstitutional and authoritarian. Unless we face a direct attack on our nation, I'm personally completely anti-war and don't believe in funding Israel nor Ukraine. I'm not anti-Israel, but they have more than enough resources to demolish whatever terrorist groups they're facing. And Ukraine has always been about funneling money. Not to mention it was NATO, Ukraine and the US who started the proxy war, not Russia.

Dean Phillips makes good points and is the most calm, collected, and knowledgeable on matters. Really hope he wins 🙏

I also been invested in Marianne longer so Cenk tore through my plans, but Im supporting both through donation. Though I will be voting Marianne since I already invested more.

It's reality in many first world countries. Switzerland has no inflation, universal healthcare (fun fact they also have a private insurance based system like us, but rank #1), tuition free college, a month paid vacation time off by law, considering a 4 day work week, paid family and sick leave, high wages (Switzerland and a few other EU countries don't even have a minimum wage).

[@JJ-rh8fb]

All of these candidates should have been featured throughout the primary on all major networks as the viable candidates they are. They should all be on every state’s primary ballot. I will be voting for one of them when I cast my vote, even if I have to write my choice in. Thank you, candidates, for sharing worthy ideas to make our lives truly better and for expressing yourselves in a respectful way. Thank you News Nation for hosting this debate.

Exactly. ALL of the major media orgs are guilty of manipulating and flooding the public with intentionally confusing disinformation instead of constructive discussion like this one. They will keep doing it until it is too unbearable. Credits to NN for doing something good here.

[@johnthoreson8775]

Having consumed at least 100s of hours of screen time, watching Cenk, I like his guts, but I'd say that Marianne is closest to my values. This was a well moderated and informative interview. Thank you, News Nation and Mr. Abrams.

[@doodzitzme4019]

As a democrat I honestly really appreciate this, hope Biden doesn't get past the primaries.

I would love to see these 3 debate the republican runner up's like this.

[@jocksharerock7318]

Williamson didn’t win in 2020, and we can’t have a whiner president like her anyway. Have you ever heard Biden say things like this? “They’re saying such awful things about me” No, because he doesn’t sweat the small things. None of these guys are ready for the presidency
