2020 Democratic presidential primary

I think of it more like he's fixed it so that no matter who the nominee is, he can declare with a heavy heart and a totally clean conscience that he'll under no circumstances vote for them.

no, less than the worst can and does happen

Trump hasnt killed as many as Dubya yet

also Aimless, stfu

also Moodles, i vote in NY, which Trump will lose by 20+ pts again, so stfu

Yes, we're all aware of how your vote never counts

it doesn't, so u should be thankful eh?

i saw Tucker Carlson apparently said "killing is part of leadership," so even someone as stupid as a bone can accurately assess the role of POTUS now n' then

never wanna see "Tucker Carlson" and "bone" in the same sentence

talk about war crimes

I mean, congrats that you live somewhere that's reliably anti-Trump, but many of us live in places where that's not the case, yet plenty of people still buy into the same dumb ass rationalizations.

Xxp

i know i say "national primaries don't exist so ignore national polls" and "a 3% change is a tie" but this is obviously measuring a real change

New @CNN poll:

Biden 22%
Harris 17%
Warren 15%
Sanders 14%
Buttigieg 4%
Booker 3%
O’Rourke 3%
Klobuchar 2%

(biden down 10%)

surprised to see Pete at only 4%. not sure if it was the debate exchange on his police controversy in South Bend that's deflating him or if he's just not inspiring anyone.

either way, my main interest in these kinds of polls is Biden, so seeing him slide is very encouraging.

Wow it looks like Harris absorbed all of the fleeing Biden support

Pete and Beto are done

i don't think this poll tells you much more than biden/warren/sanders/harris are pretty much level and no one else is relevant. too much to hope all the 1%ers go but i'm hoping a few of these will clear the field.

bullock holding steady

Money will decide which of the bottom 75% drop out first

Harris only reached the top tier last week though so anything could still happen. xp

poor gillibrand

de Blasio unstoppable now!

gillibrand doing worse than gabbard is kinda crazy

Gillabrand doesn't have a cult

biden/warren/sanders/harris are pretty much level

& harris is the only one under age 70 :(

Warren is looking pretty spry for 70!

gillibrand's problem is that she gives off a distinct "playing a politician on tv" vibe

she would be a fantastic president in a disaster movie

whereas if Chuck Schumer was the president the movie wd be a short

biden/warren/sanders/harris are pretty much level

& harris is the only one under age 70 :(

i'm no doubt projecting some here due to health of family members and ppl i've known, but am i the only one who feels like the difference between 70 and 77 is kind of huge? basically a 2 term presidency between them..

its not the difference between 70 and 77 i worry about, it's the difference between 78 and 85.

well yeah that's what I meant

37 and 70 is huge too

vote young!

no

morbz you are a mayor pete guy? that's wild

i am an abolish the presidency guy

or at least this fucking thread

morbs supports all our military servicemen

xpost if you had to vote who would you vote for?

only one man approaches the 50% level of morbs' crankiness

and that man is...bill de blasio

Gillbrand has unfortunate Franken, sleeveless attire, blonde bob energy, voice working against her. All of it is sexist but I don't even know anymore because I am too busy asking my spouse why aren't more astronomers nihilist.

The mayor of Morbsville

Also, one day I wlll figure out who Dennis Perrin is.

I have to assume morbs knows him personally.

i've never seen them in the same room together

why aren't more astronomers nihilist

Strong Anthropic Principle + scientists’ Kantian tendencies?

I am opposed to Forever War in principle but it's so firmly entrenched that I can't imagine it being dismantled by any foreseeable government. So I sort of factor it out of my evaluation of candidates, such as it is.

that’s cool considering how it is literally the most important issue and the one over which presidents have the most control

i think theres an argument that bc presidents have the most direct control that this is where they would spend a great amount of their political capital to make change at the expense of domestic policy stuff.

thats not an argument against making those changes btw

do you really think anyone would give a shit if we just stopped bombing people

The Warren plan to rebuild and restaff the State Department is the best chance at ending Forever Wars because the only way you stop seeing everything as a nail is to actually have more than just a hammer.

The permanent government needs to have well-resourced counterweights to the DoD and the IC. Her campaign seems to be one of the only outfits that understand this.
