Sanders had a good showing in term of foreign policy. Tulsi started the race positioning herself as the anti-interventionist, but Sanders gave the performance she should have given if that's the case.

Really? I found that he was making some good points but his blank outs are really, really, concerning. Saddening even. They're very uncomfortable to watch (for me anyway) when they happen, and make me question his cognitive health when they do. I really wish he didn't want this so bad.

Do you remember that UI report you posted with comparisons of different possible healthcare reforms? I think Buttigieg's plan most closely resembles Reform 6:

(For comparison sake, I think Klobuchar's mixed-payer plan maps closest to Reform 3, Biden's mixed-payer plan maps closest to Reform 5, Kamala's and Delaney's mixed payer plans map closest to Reform 7, and of course Bernie and Warren's map closest to Reform 8... although Warren's campaign exaggerated the amount of savings they believe her plan would cause, so they based their costing on a slightly lower amount)


And here are links to his fleshed out policy proposals for healthcare reforms with respect to Payers, Prescription Drugs, Mental Health and Addiction, and Rural. (I know it seems like I'm partial only to him but not true, I also like Warren, Yang, etc. Its more that I refuse to let yall be lazy about this shit. Lol. I want informed debates on here, if possible):
