OH,, OH truble in paradise ..

All of the presidential candidates who qualified for next week’s Democratic debate are threatening to skip the event in response to a labor dispute taking place at the debate venue, Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles.

They would refuse to cross picket lines in solidarity with Unite Here Local 11, which represents food service workers at the university who have been negotiating for a collective bargaining agreement.

Unite Here Local 11 represents 150 service workers — cooks, dishwashers, cashiers and servers — at the university, which subcontracts its food service operations to Sodexo.

The union had sent letters to the qualifying candidates’ campaigns Friday morning advising the candidates of the situation and warning that there could be picketing on the evening of the debate.

Did Tulsi qualify but choose not participate or simply didn't make the cut?

Both sorta ....Tulsi Gabbard announced three days before the last qualifying date (12/13/19) she would not be a part of the Democratic debates on December 19.....However at that time it did not appear that she would make the polling qualifying percent..

Candidates needed to hit 4% in four eligible polls or 6% in two eligible state polls...Tulsi had the qualifying donations, but short in the polling.

Fear not...all seven of your favorite Democrat candidates who will take the stage in the primary debate...tomorrow night..

Negotiators have reached a tentative deal to end a labor dispute that led all the qualifiers for Thursday’s 2020 Democratic presidential debate to threaten a boycott....they had said they would not cross a picket line and skip the event if necessary.

Food service workers at debate site Loyola Marymount University and their employer Sodexo come to a three-year agreement.

Sounds like the candidates stance helped resolve the impasse.

Democrats mentioned Latinos only once in the November debate. In the earlier debates, everyone was trying to speak Spanish.

I'm glad you brought that up....The Republican Party does not falsely claim to be the party of diversity.. like the hypocritical Democrat party..

This debate is surreal.

 

It has a hallucinogenic quality - moving background, preposterously poor production quality, incoherent waterheads posing as legitimate candidates.

 

It has everything. 

 

Trump wins at least 48 states.

At the start of the debate, the seven candidates went after the current state of the economy..

Joe Biden said that the middle class was suffering.

"The middle class is getting killed; the middle class is getting crushed," Biden argued. "The working class has no way up, as a consequence of that,"...

Ah,,full employment says otherwise Joe..

Maybe we need higher taxes to get this economy going...

Shouldn't the DEMS represent all Americans,  not just Latinos ?

We do & it's evident in Congress.

If you think 2016 was an aberration in the House, wait until 2020. Pubes are dinosaurs & your party is now extinct. It has become the Trump party.

When the front-runner in national polling in the Democratic nomination race was asked would he sacrifice blue-collar jobs for clean energy ...Joe said

"Yes!"

Joe,, I thought you told us that number-one job facing the middle class,was a three-letter word: jobs,J-O-B-S.. jobs

It's not only our party, but our country..

 

God help us from the leftists like you that don't believe in America.   Do you even listen to the hatred that is spewed from AOC and other freshmen members of Congress.   It is frightful their hatred of America.  I believe in America and the principles it was founded upon..
