2020 Democratic presidential primary

The next two years are going to be so ugly :(

I mean, if you agree that he learned and is doing better, what is it that he doesn't get? Just the right tone to use on TV?

make america cool again. republicans running the show results in refugee child concentration camps, no joke. the next two years are going to be righteous

lol absolutely not what dimension are you living in

in the dimension where people happily voted for 2scoops despite people they don't know laughing at the possibility of him winning

ok so what here is pointing to righteousness. please I wish to understand qualmsley thought

The next ??? years will be hellish. Our society is falling apart.

Not that it was “good before” but right now is a disheartening time. Everything is dysfunctional and our entire public discourse is divided into two camps: a sucidal cult of stupidity, and a very reactive, panicked left prone to escapist fan fic about robert mueller.

hopes may rise on the grasmere

The Bernie thing is whatever. It's pretty much the standard still that progressive men are still golly gee about harassment and pay gaps "existing".

I like when I see a member from one of my favorite 90s indie rock bands going for Klobuchar.

really wish jennifer granholm had been born in the US

can we have AOC in 2024 or will she still not meet age threshold even then? Ro Khanna if not?

She’ll be 35 then

But come on, she's not going to primary Biden.

People that I like are actually expressing enthusiasm for Biden on my fb and it blows my mind. We literally have learned nothing.

oh wow, thats....something

biden is a likable guy. he did some boneheaded things prior to being VP but I think he distinguished himself as VP. I'd certainly vote for him for President. But he's like, sixth on my list of people I want in that job.

GO AWAY

Xpost agreed

expressing enthusiasm for joe fucking biden as next dem presidential candidate = enjoy trump's next term

I like this Dame article that coined #SomeWhiteGuy2020.

https://www.damemagazine.com/2019/01/02/we-need-to-rethink-the-way-we-talk-about-women-in-politics/

O'Malley says he's out and Cuomo was probably never likely in the first place. Kaine seemingly last commented "nope" on 2020 shortly after 2016. Duckworth and Lundergan Grimes aren't really making themselves known right now and I don't know if either of them will even comment if they aren't running. The remaining 8/13 on my list are all at least in the liminal phase of running for president as we speak, though it's unclear what party banner if any Bloomberg would be running under. I'll give myself a B-.

On Maddow, @ewarren says she would pull troops out of Syria (and unprompted, Afghanistan), says the metrics of what winning could possibly look like in both places hasn't been sufficiently explained.

what i'll remember about martin omalley

Martin omalley you got a children's book ass name. You sound like the mailman in a town where everyone's a bear

hmm

voting for Biden would be 100x more depressing than voting for Hillary. at least with the latter I caught some feels about the prospect of a female president.

seems like Biden's constituency is someone's relative who didn't vote for Hillary but says they would have voted for him

biden doesn't stand a chance in the primary imo

I really REALLY hope yer right

yeah i can definitely picture a debate stage full of candidates who are a) young b) full of passion and ideas or both, and ol' Diamond Joe looking like a rickety old relic.

he's gonna drop into that hectoring, "come on" posture that was fun when he was debating joe biden, but will seem very out-of-touch when he pulls it on kamala harris or someone

*debating Paul Ryan, d'oh

or when he goes on about how billionaires are not the problem or whatever

yeah he'll get eaten alive in the primary for being out of touch on various hot button issues re: women, financial industry, foreign wars take yr pick

I'd welcome a return of Onion Biden as a heel.

otm

I sorta hate Onion Biden in retrospect for helping to build him up as anything but an old creep and sellout

right, every time i think i hate him i just imagine him installing above ground pools.

Third time's the... what's the opposite of charm?

multiple Anita Hill questions per day would not go well

Hoping Biden doesn’t become the nominee but out of the curiosity, is the “creep” thing based on the Anita Hill questioning or are we talking about stuff on the level of the right wing memes where they have freeze frames of him hugging people as evidence he’s a pedophile?

Joe Biden would beat Donald Trump for sure, but yes he would not even get nominated so...

xpost Biden needs to keep his hands to himself.

But is there actually something to that? Are we talking about normal guy hugs or normal guy hugs replayed in slow-no w menacing music?

He touches women and children like men often touched women and children because they got no say in it. Optically he looks dirty.

hmm

I don't care if he's just super affectionate. Don't grab women or children that you don't know by their sides, from behind, give them shoulder rubs, kiss their heads. Gross.
