2020 Democratic presidential primary

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

biden doesn't stand a chance in the primary imo

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?

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

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.

I mean, I travel a lot between countries where I have to remember 1,2, or 3 cheek kisses on greeting and Biden still gives me creep vibes.

Go on...

you first.

wasn't this a whole gawker series at one point?

Sounds like something in their wheelhouse!

Give it a rest Nerdstrom

where "it" means "breathing"

I heard once that if you pat a child’s head something happens to their soul

If you need additionally pointers, you should also not tickle them.

might as well

Bernie Sanders: I guess.
Tim Kaine: A walking dad joke.
Michael Bloomberg: Stop and frisk for all!
Andrew Cuomo: The worst. A less smart Hillary with fewer convictions and political gifts. His Dad must be so proud.
Cory Booker: Jersey Cuomo.
Kamala Harris: Impressive during Kavanaugh hearings.
Tammy Duckworth: I don’t see it.
Jay Inslee: I saw this guy on TV last night and thought he was one of the least impressive people ever.
Terry McAuliffe: Hell no.
Joe Biden: Love you Uncle Joe, but time to eat jello at the kids table.
Elizabeth Warren: I like bomb throwers; not sure she had a shot. I could get behind her I guess, but might be better in Senate.
Alison Lundergan Grimes: I think I am reasonably well-informed and I had to google her. No shot.
Martin O'Malley: He ruled himself out, lol.

Nice of you to recite the minutes of the most recent NAMBLA meeting Nerdstrom

Hahaha good lord

This is going to be a fun two years with yall i can feel it

Feelin those lighters

this is why you cant have a nice country

symmetry required Nerdstrom to

NAMBLA dig seems unfair tbh.

banworthy if im honest

even just for boredom alleviation purposes

Sherrod Brown is obviously the best choice

Why?

a former Hillary campaign staffer i know (i know) says the same thing

The spousal abuse stuff is going to follow Brown.

His hair is dreadful.

Yeah, the 2020 democratic nominee for president is not going to be a person accused of abuse by their forner spouse, regardless of what she now says about the allegations.

I dont even know any of the details and I just briefly googled it but no. It could be a white man potentially but definitely not one with that kind of baggage. Just goes against the grain of where the party wants to go.

Also if something like that is true about him then he shouldn’t be considered anyway.

Didn't know about the allegations, I've long thought him solid and a man with the right ideas if wan and grey as a possible presidential candidate.

He honestly shouldn’t run. A primary that includes that stuff getting dragged out will produce bad feelings and can only hurt the party.

btw the centrist Dem lawyer i see at a Christmas party every year insists that if Sanders ever got close to the nomination, his decades-old "kids having sex is normal" remarks would see the light. I am agnostic on the existence of such remarks.

xpost plus Brown would have to have his ex-wife say she lied in her affidavits. It's not happening.

Sanders also has that rape fantasy essay that I really don't want to have to see circulating again.

I don't think that stuff is going to sway many people tbh.

Brown's ex-wife said in September that it's not true

https://www.cantonrep.com/news/20180913/sherrod-browns-ex-wife-refutes-claims-of-domestic-abuse

I can understand not wanting to see it circulating though. xp

she doesn't say it's not true in that ^^^ at least. She completely evades the question (unless i just completely glossed over it).

I don't care about it swaying people. It's totally hypocritical to endorse him as a candidate if one has an issue with the GOP doing the same or just people in general.

yeah there is no refutation there.

Don't need to have another Bill Clinton John Edwards Anthony Weiner etc. whataboutism for the rest of our lives.

the more i think about it, the more i want warren. i'd love to see her beat trump. also, i find her a powerful speaker when she wants to be--there are plenty of great clips of her on the floor of the senate.
