2020 Democratic presidential primary

ftr, I've come to think that, all else being roughly equal, the ideal age for a first term president is probably in the range of 49-57. iow, definitely younger than me. In reality, there are a lot of more important qualifications than age. It's just that it's such a killer job in terms of hours and stress.

I know myself and I won’t be ready till im at least 80

Morbs otm

Cory Booker is a nice guy who should leave politics and become like the headmaster of my prep school or something. He’d be beloved in that position.

I am more and more impressed by Buttigieg the more I find out about him. I doubt he has a chance but I think his presence and platform in the race would be a good thing.

XP If Booker likes coffee so much, he should marry her/him...

Mayor of South Bend to the White House does seem a jump but not as much as infamous reality tv scumbag to president so who knows

He just seems too smart and talented to appeal to most americans.

Chris Hayes at town hall with Gillibrand.

I would like for more mayors of smallish cities to run for President.

America’s best and worst politicians are mayors

I’m reading about him now. He seems like a nice guy whose left of harris. If America fell in love with him it would be a great thing.

Maybe not left of harris based on the policies I read. Just meant he’s not Beto.

It seems like he is also a much better musician than Beto.

Gillibrand is really sharp in this format, and Hayes has a nice mostly out of frame approach.

For the first ten minutes she was breathless. Her mind, I could tell, was running through a PowerPoint (EDUCATION, MEDICARE, NRA).

Buttigieg should really just start pronouncing his name the way everyone wants to say it. "I'm Pete Butt Gag, I'm a vet, I'm smart, I'm gay, vote for me!" Alright!

If booker wins the presidency he should tweet three times a day the same fucking tweet about hot coffee for four years.

i have decided to come out against andrew yang

lol that fits

speaking as a circumsized jew (tmi? sorry.) -- there's no real justification for circumcision and we should probably be thinking of it in the same category as female genital mutilation, at least in terms of unwarranted, dangerous, painful things done to children in the name of religion.

also, "Andrew Yang: Don't Cut Their Wang" is a good headline

speaking as a circumcised non-jew I can't imagine giving a fuck about male circumcision but I'm also not gonna have any kids, so *shrug*

so what you're saying is this issue won't win wisconsin for the dems?

idk it might just put him a cut above the rest

i like gillibrand more today than i did yesterday but i guess that's what these town hall things are for

Yang's alright, let's not make a mountain out of a mohel

This is a bad look for him

Buttigieg is way better than Yang it seems

what happens to the discarded UP in this scenario?

In the sense that we should be thinking of a 3-on-3 game at the gym in the same category as Game 7 of the NBA finals.

Somehow the American people have become underdogs in our own land. That is messed up. Let’s fix it.

Somehow the American people have become underdogs in our own land.

the hell you say. now tell us, mr. wang, who you identify as the top dogs in our own land. cuz that sounds to me like a big welcome mat to white supremacists.

he seems to be a malapropism machine

or maybe that's biden

^right

there is evidence that circumcision is associated with protection against STIs and lower incidence of urinary tract infections and penile cancer; the latter two are relatively uncommon in males to begin with, but I’ve taken care of enough uroseptic uncircumcised infants to make me wonder what the harm is. in fact evidence of harm is pretty much nonexistent
