If there are no brilliant break-out moments, there are plenty of fascinating takeaways from the first Democratic debate.
Sure, you know Elizabeth Warren, and Beto O’Rourke, who almost beat Ted Cruz in Texas, and maybe you remember Amy Klobuchar from the Kavenaugh hearings, and Cory Booker since he is reportedly dating Rosario Dawson, and Bill DeBlasio because you live in New York City. But what about Tulsi Gabbard, Tim Ryan, Jay Inslee, John Delaney, Julian Castro?
You can credit Bernie Sanders for dragging this gangway to the left, with people staking out positions that would please Friedrich Engels. O’Rourke says he wants to return power to the people—though he stops short of endorsing a top marginal 70 percent tax rate; Booker alleges that dignity is being stripped from labor; Ryan is moved to declare, “The bottom 60 percent haven't seen a raise since 1980. Meanwhile, the top 1 percent control 90 percent of the wealth.
Next up is immigration. Castro, referencing the horrific drowning deaths of asylum-seeker Oscar Martinez and his 23-month-old daughter, says that of course it is heartbreaking, but it should also “piss us all off—and spur us to action,” and goes on to say that we should not criminalize desperation. DeBlasio blurts out, “For all the American citizens out there who feel you're falling behind or feel the American dream is not working for you, the immigrants didn't do that to you.
