Tuesday Night Football: post-debate thoughts from Jacobin

[TBF]

by Editors at Jacobin Mag (https://www.jacobinmag.com/2015/10/hillary-clinton-bernie-sanders-democratic-primary-debate/)

Sanders’s didn’t shrink from the term democratic socialist — he embraced it and called for a political revolution, not once, but throughout the debate.

Clinton resorted to red-baiting in record time.

O’Malley seemed content to play back-up singer for Sanders

Lincoln Chafee is pretty cute, though. I hope someone takes him home and adopts him.

My main takeaway from the debate is that I’m pretty terrified of Jim Webb. He seems like the type of guy who has a bunker in Montana stocked with preserved food and hand grenades.

1. Webb is a hand grenade with his own finger on the pin

[TBF]

2. Definitely the best line from the article -

I post from Jacobin a lot on DU because most of them are really democratic socialists at heart as opposed to Marxists (which is where I believe the majority of DU is as well). Bernie did well last night while Hillary weaseled through it. Although I will say she has definitely worked with a speaking coach or something because she was not nearly as hostile last night as I expected. That's an improvement for her.
