2020 Democratic presidential primary

To be fair to the DNC, given the scope of their grift, these are actually "moderate" prices. pic.twitter.com/CQnyotISbB

Lmao

"He was just doing a limited strike" says the 'Face the nation' host

“Oh…just a limited strike!" @BernieSanders quipped, "Oh, I’m sorry, I just didn't know that it's okay to simply attack another country with bombs. That’s a limited strike? That’s an act of warfare,” pic.twitter.com/JgbLkkakX7

"I'm sor-RHEE"

Lol

he fucking rules

yeah

there is a pretty significant policy gap here btw Bernie and the rest of the candidates EW included

I think Gabbard is pretty strongly non-interventionist too, more surprising (or not) given her own military service record.

"not" i'd say; i dunno too many people who served in the military who are hawks unless absolutely necessary.

This almost makes me miss Hubert Humphrey. pic.twitter.com/TqLWBoYGab

isn't the border being vitally important to america's greatness kinda trump's whole thing? ffs beto

"the border makes america great"???

I don't even get it as an intended inversion of the trump idea...what does he *want* that to mean

being as generous as i can possibly be, i assume he's trying to say that immigration and international trade are crucial pillars of america's culture and economy but uhhh that's absolutely not what that says

yeah the border as a positive symbol of immigration is not scannable

"the border makes america great"???

make movie posters verbose again

"An uncomplicated man trapped in a complicated life" = Donald Trump presidency

"The Beto campaign is the most emotionally gripping narrative of 2019."

a man as divided as the land itself

You think about it, man, there might not even be any America without a border. It'd be like Western Sahara. Local meteorologists would go crazy.

What Would Bernie Bomb?

In 2020, Sanders is campaigning as a peace candidate. But his congressional record, and his top foreign policy adviser, suggest that events could turn him into a war president.

I don't know what the hat means, exactly, but I'm pretty sure the picture is from 2015, when Beto ran in a cross border (foot) race (hence the shirt).

lol "The Border Makes America Great" was the title of Beto's TED Talk

okay lol

Josh is right, but it's still a dumb hat.

It's a super dumb hat

it was so dumb that I resisted sharing the image out of suspicion it was photoshopped

Is it dumber than any parody hat Ted Cruz could've come up with?

Oh, they're both equally stupid for completely different reasons.

Maybe he's talking about a decorative border, guys. A little fringe around the edges could really bring out this country's eyes.

All the GOP talks about is the so-called fringe around the edges.

Good morning!

Non-military households would pay a "war tax" to help cover the health care of veterans of newly-authorized wars under a plan Beto O'Rourke's campaign unveiled on Monday https://t.co/yHF2d79Qto

well everyone will just sign up for the military to avoid the tax

don't we already have taht

isn't it just called tax

This is so laughably bad and confusing that they thought it was a good idea.

I think I'd like my war tax to go into an individual spending account that I can invest in the wars of my choice

make sure to also set up a tax-free slaughter account

Only interested in a private war system.

can rollover my war spending account into the IRA?

could we also have a non-war tax to pay for the healthcare of the non-military families

I wonder if there's a distant chance that this might make non-military taxpayers more circumspect about getting into wars because of cost flagging? It's the only potential upside I can see, anyway.

The second part of Beto's plan is to federally legalize polygamy so we can all marry military personnel.

I would almost be for this if it meant that Congress would have to start declaring war again. No more "authorizing military actions."

But then, they'd start declaring war on countries every other week. And then where would I be? Trying to pay my war tax with war bonds?

Your War Taxes at Work!

TS: War Tax vs Tar Wax

wax trax! ftw

T/S: war tax vs 15 member supreme court vs new coke

Hint to dems who want to be prez: I don't think announcing dumb and completely out of left field policy ideas is going to distinguish you from your fellow candidates in quite the way you might prefer.

howbout putting the war tax on military contractors
