Has the debates changed your views on any of the candidates? Before the debate I was a huge Young supporter and liked Pete. I still support Yang because i'm just a big fan of the guy but i'm gonna start to keep an eye on Castro and continue to follow Pete. I'll also follow Williamson but mostly for the memes.

I'm not American, I hadn't heard of most of these people before.

Castro, Booker, De Blasio, Inslee, Gillibrand, and Harris were all surprises.

Kamala Harris is far stronger than I thought she'd be, but her key issues interest me less than Warren, Sanders, Inslee, Gillibrand, and De Blasio. Mostly because I'm a Green Party guy, and they're the equivalent of the US Green Party faction in the Democrats.

My opinion of Beto O'Rourke not being charismatic was solidified. Kamala Harris was the most charismatic, Warren, De Blasio, and Castro were also very charismatic. I also very much expected Biden to crash and bern.

Marianne Wilhelmsen is my favourite character.

I went from being indifferent on Gabbard to downright wanting to see her lose just because so many of her fans are delusionally insane.

Don't know who you're talking to in order to draw these bigoted, presumptuous conclusions, but I'd wager most are just pissed that an actual liberal, who's served in the National Guard, who stands for real progressive values is being unfairly smeared and ignored as an "Assad Apologist", "Putin Puppet", "far right adjacent" or cultist of some kind with absolutely zero logic to back up these asinine claims.

Personally, I find many of the other candidates and many of their supporters delusionally insane so different strokes I guess.

And anyway you've got nothing to worry about, because the party and media will make sure to do everything in their power to marginalize/smear her. Can't have an anti-war, anti-establishment liberal in the Democratic party anymore, God forbid.
