2020 Democratic presidential primary

it's not just that he's not sure about single payer. it's that he's "no longer sure".

I think this makes him the only Democratic candidate actually moving rightward on this issue (not that he ever genuinely supported single payer) https://t.co/47kKWZFOo1

this is your more cautious, prudent kind of Psychedelic Warlord

he skateboards though

Hope this inspires more campaign staffs to organize

😍

What constituency are you aiming at?

I'm guessing there's a lot of donor money out there for any Democrat who's opposed to single-payer.

yeah, it’s a pretty obvious move imo. he needs a lane

man would be nice if some non-healthcare/insurance dark money donors would support single payer, surely Amazon wants to stop having warehouse workers whine at them about benefits

He has a lane! young charismatic Biden.

I feel like the Beto thing is just starting and I'm already exhausted.

liked the statement by Buttigieg

not sure about that photo

A lot of people don’t pay attention to politics. That is why we are going to win.

what

lol

that is like deep thoughts for politicians

don’t get it but ok

hahahaha

He's either going to flame out in the next 5 months or be president for life

what do you think is meant by "math"?

it means something different to everyone

maybe by “politics” he means /pol/

Don’t see “math” in this,thread, not sure what you mean Karl

people at his rallies keep chanting "math"

i honestly don't know what it means

it's possible that i'm basing all of this off of one tweet, i admit

i mean, i like math too, don't get me wrong. being against math is like being against water

maybe that's what's going on

if you are for UBI you ain't really good at math.

how many Andrew Yang supporters have harassed McDonald's employees for being out of Szechuan sauce

if you aren't for UBI than you're not good at externalities

THAN

friday niiiight

Just make it basic income for the bottom 20% imo

that would really piss of the decile between 21% and 30%.

piss off

UBI proposals from technocrats = bye bye social programs of any kind

basic income for everyone (a living annual income) progressively financed by the incomes of everyone above a living income imo

xp

is yang a technocrat? i literally know nothing about him other than a few posts on this thread and one poll where he was at the bottom

I work with/for tech "solutionists" who think there's such a thing as non-ideological, "common sense,""evidence-based" solutions to problems so I'm predisposed to hating/distrusting Yang. Maybe he has merits I don't/can't see.

Beto buys his campaign staff Subway one Friday, slaps a shoulder, announces, "Eat up guys, it's a long way to 2020", realizes he ordered for everybody but himself, says shit!, runs back out, staff cries and hugs one another, he is such an amazing man

Ha. I like Beto, but I feel he really misread the room. He waited until like 20 other people announced, from veteran candidates to women to people of color, then suddenly swoops in like a belared white knight. He should have stuck to Texas and run for senate again. Or gov or something. His momentum might have been enough to make more inroads in state, but I am not sure his momentum at this point is great enough to make more of an impression outward.

This O'Rourke business is something Sorkin cooked up when he was holed up with that suitcase of dope.

Beto O’Rourke said Friday he is “not … proud” of fiction he wrote as teenager about murdering children, while acknowledging its surfacing could hurt his campaign https://t.co/anpajnsDpA

— POLITICO (@politico) March 16, 2019

He just needs to spin it as being highly influenced by Henry Rollins's "Get In The Van."

goodness! he wrote fiction!

Reporters are so illiterate.

I need to get used to seeing UBI. I am combining UTI and IBS and thinking it's Urinary Bowel Infection.

I like Yang. The most annoying thing about him is his fans. But I guess we have to integrate those guys into society somehow.

I don’t like Beto but why would writing horror fiction be bad?

exactly

no one should care about that any more than they do about Bernie's college poetry, I just find the fact that Beto has to talk about it amusing

At least he has the good sense not to be "proud" of his juvenile writings. It's a rare prodigy whose fictional productions as a teenager aren't total shite.
