2020 Democratic presidential primary

Beto getting his mid-Gen X cred in, Buttigieg late-X/early-millennial - who shall speak for the early Xers?

can't believe spoon beat fugazi in the primary D:

wtf music do you think warren would say she listened to if anyone bothered to ask her?

Gillibrand and Booker are the only Gen X candidates older than Beto. Harris being just slightly too old to count. Buttigieg is Gen Y.

I know warren loves the HBO show ballers starring the rock so her listening might be surprising.

that’s some disqualifying shit right there ballers is terrible

acc to the Harvard Center, Buttigieg still counts as Gen X (he's '82, their cutoff is '84)

xp I am more comfortable with her Reagan/Bush/Dole support than this, scandalized

The candidates' responses to Trump smearing Omar are quite telling.

We are stronger than this president’s hatred and Islamophobia. Do not let him drive us apart or make us afraid.

i do not understand o'rourke's appeal in this field at all. how many dems are just looking to be anesthetized by their president?

GREETINGS, FELLOW "SLACKERS"

wtf does inxs have to do with MN

They played First Ave.

"Never Tear Us Apart" was written about the North Stars moving to Texas.

lol

Shabooh Shoobah was originally called Shabooh Sha-Uff-Da.

i know this is a lot to ask on this board but please stop talking about bandz

having somewhat above average taste in music was never a skill. Most guys just thought it was and based their entire lives around it.

lol I wish there was someone in my real life who had a "somewhat above average taste in music", I really don't know any at all

sure...

Sen. Amy Klobuchar apparently wants to offer hope that the Senate is capable of dealing with the issues of the day and not just staging partisan quibbling sessions.

Klobuchar’s up-to-the-mic tune would be the Beatles’ “We Can Work It Out.’’

Wrote Klobuchar: “When my colleagues in the Senate start to dig in their heels, I think it’s important to remember ‘life is very short and there’s no time for fussing and fighting, my friend.’ ’’

zzzzz

ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

All the Senate Needs Is Love

Maybe she could toss around some solutions.

’’I think it’s important to remember ‘life is very short and there’s no time for fussing and fighting, my friend.’ ’’

"Senator Klobuchar is late today because I am bad at my job."

Klobuchar’s up-to-the-mic tune would be the Sex Pistols' "Bodies."

Wrote Klobuchar, "“When my colleagues in the Senate start to dig in their heels, I think it’s important to remember, 'Fuck this and fuck that, fuck it all and fuck the fucking brat.'"

I mean Kloubacher is from MN and the EXACT same age as Bob Mould so it's not a real stretch

Casually thinking about expanding my “no cops” rule to “no cops, no troops”. This goes for tinder and presidential hopefuls.

Wrote Klobuchar: “When my colleagues in the Senate start to dig in their heels, I think it’s important to remember ‘life is very short and there’s no time for fussing and fighting, my friend.’ ’’

here come old comb-fork, she come groovin' up slowly

Odd that Yang is so much taller than Tupac.

So tired of this shit. I went to school with Pete. I know what atmosphere he was in after 9/11. It was a bunch of navel-gazing nerds who thought Bin Laden’s next target was the Yale Game. Most of us knew “never forget” was bullshit by the time W invaded Iraq, but not Pete. https://t.co/lsdFccjC17

He was what, 19? Who the fuck cares?

he's responding to Pete's characterization of the period in the present

buttigieg's tweet was somewhat over the top but c'mon

It truly does suck but even if we get a dem president in 2020 I don’t think we’re getting one with a genuinely humane, honest foreign policy approach. The only candidate so far who seems to be on the right track there is Bernie but I fear he’d have his hands so full trying to enact the domestic agenda that clearly means way more to him to actually accomplish much overseas. I mean, obviously just doing less would be an improvement in some ways.

Warren has only given waffle on foreign policy so far (afaict) but based on her solid domestic policies I can't imagine it being worse than Trump's or Obama's or Cheney's

even holding steady at as bad as Trump while making things better within the US is an unfortunate but acceptable tradeoff imo

at least if you tax American companies, you don't need oil wars

don't think any of the democratic presidential candidates would be as bad as Trump in any sense, domestic policy or foreign policy

He was what, 19? Who the fuck cares?

when he signed up he was 27

back to the "better than Trump" yardstick, what a standard

I was responding to someone else. I see it's not worth making any comments here

He was what, 19?

when he signed up he was 27

I fail to extract any significant meaning from the age at which he enlisted, in terms of extrapolating how he would fulfill the job he is seeking. The fact that he is somewhat lacking in strong policy proposals right now seems far more significant. It could be tactical or it could be strategic, but it definitely keeps me from any desire to commit to him.

The only winning Dem since Carter to run with a foreign policy plank was Obama, and he was... hey bin laden’s dead now so shut up

I’m not going to bother judging any of the primary candidates on their foreign policy ideas, the electorate obviously doesn’t care and I don’t think anybody to the left of Ash Carter can be taken seriously. More interesting to watch domestic policy and statements coming out and Warren has been crushing it on that front.

a warren/buttegeig ticket seems p dece, despite the latter's faults

agreed, that's my preferred combo at this point

wd prefer castro who actually has an immigration plan and would complement a lot of warren's other domestic agenda items
