I and all my friends are LGBT and I could not care less that Pete is gay.
Policy > identity

[chrissr]

I liked Bernie pushing back on the identity politics they tried playing

[dahren]

Yang and Bernie definitely won the debate last night.
Steyer was very hard to watch when addressing his points. 
Pete's smug look when confronted about his closed fundraisers was disgusting. 
Klobuchar was tough to watch.
Biden and Warren didn't really stand out.

Pete got schooled.

Literally, he was like a little boy in school, listening to his teachers. :)

Andrew Yang's Best Debate performance

[catherinepeery]

Universal human dignity--and well being--is Yang's mission.

Wall Street/Wine Cave Pete is done. Bye!

[terencekwong]

Shaking the money tree in wine caves 😆🤣

[danlai]

Warren is impressed by how many people taking selfies with her, how popular she is;
Pete is all about himself;
Yang and Bernie focus on how their policies can improve the lives of ALL Americans.
Please think harder and make the right choice.

HUMANITY FIRST
HUMAN VALUE NOT JUST ECONOMIC VALUE!!!

[tecamey]

Andrew Yang is so smart to make a remark on Pete without saying his name so he can’t respond !!! It’s always #HumanityFirst

[d.n.a]

I love this channel! The Hill Thank you for your transparent unbiased report!

[CandyOMBodydouble]

I'm just here for the wine caves.

[KFCganni]

Yang and Bernie won. Biden also won cause he didn't have to say much

[joshrizal]

Shaking the money tree in the wine cave. LOL!

[BurntMarshmallows]

Andrew Yang was great. Dropping facts and truth bombs as always.

[as.]

Andrew Yang is the one for me! His answers are authentic, accurate and land almost every time. The others seem to echo rehearsed DNC sound bites that are just vague, ideological pandering.

[rse]

I'm a strong leftist, and I'm already sick of seeing Buttigieg's face. I can't imagine how I'd feel if he won the nomination.

[aym]

Viva Bernie....2020 Peace, justice, and prosperity for ALL.

[lonniefarrare]

Tired of identity politics, it just divides us.
