Developments

Andrew Yang's Bing Criticism

In response to a comment made by Elizabeth Warren about competition in the marketplace, Andrew Yang said, "Competition doesn't solve all the problems. It's not like any of us want to use the fourth best navigation appthat would be like cruel and unusual punishment. There's a reason no one is using Bing today."[2]

The audience reacted with laughs and audible surprise (video below). Yang followed up, "Sorry, Microsoft, it's true."



Some online disagreed with Yang, claiming that Bing was "a great search engine for porn if you're trying to find content across a wide variety of sites" (examples below).


Mike Drucker @MikeDrucker Wow. I don't usually do this, but Andrew Yang is extremely wrong here: Bing is a great search engine for p--- if you're trying to find content across a wide variety of sites. Really sad to see him f--- up like this 7:09 PM Oct 15, 2019 Twitter Web App Stream 'Surviving' 10/18 @willforthrill Andrew Yang just tattled on himself for not watching p--- by slandering Bing 7:06 PM Oct 15, 2019 Twitter for iPhone Common Sense @2CSense I finally found something to disagree with Andrew Yang. I use Bing more than Google. It's much better for p--- search. You also get Microsoft reward points every time you to use it. You can redeem those points for rewards. #DemocraticDebate 7:22 PM Oct 15, 2019 Twitter for iPad

Joe Biden Yelling At Elizabeth Warren

During an exchange about the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, which Elizabeth Warren helped form, Biden raised his voice at Warren. He said, "I went on the floor and got you votes. I got votes for that bill. I convinced people to vote for it."

Warren responded, "I am deeply grateful to President Obama." The audience responded to this with audible surprise, apparently reading her comments as an aggressive response.

Biden said, "You did a hell of a job in your job." Warren thanked him for his comment (shown below).

That day, Twitter [3] user @theWayWithAnoa tweeted "Caption this" with a screenshot of Biden pointing at and raising his voice to Warren (shown below).

Fashion choices

Many online joked about Tom Steyer's plaid tie and Andrew Yang's math pin.

Twitter[4] user @gregorybrothers tweeted, "Mr. Steyer, you claim to be a billionaire, and yet, that is your tie" (shown below, left). Twitter[5] user @adamcancryn tweeted, "i'm sorry does tom steyer have only one tie? (shown below, center).

Others joked about a pin that Andrew Yang was wearing that said "math." Twitter[6] user @JosephScrimshaw tweeted, "I like Andrew Yang’s math pin. I feel all the candidates should have a pin with their favorite word on it. Mine would be either LIGHTSABER or MARTINI."

Between the pissy fight over Trump's Twitter account, the clear and blatant bias for Warren (20+ minutes of speaking time) and establishment candidates (why is Klobuchar speaking so much?), the clear bias against Tulsi and Yang (cutting Gabbard off with a commercial break), the clearly desperate and transparent strategy of pitting Yang and Bernie against each other to fracture progressive voters to corporate Warren, and that absolutely abysmal question about fucking Ellen Degeneres and not mentioning climate change once, this was easily the worst debate.

Thanks, CNN. Every day seems like an increasingly darker path to 4 more years of Trump. Tulsi was right, fuck corporate media.
