2020 Democratic presidential primary

I appreciate the Post including this though:

The “again” referred to Stein, whom some Clinton supporters have accused (rather baselessly) of serving as a spoiler for Clinton in 2016. Stein got around 1 percent of the vote in the three decisive states — Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin — but exit polls showed most of her voters wouldn’t have supported either Clinton or Trump if Stein weren’t running.

But then I feel the same way about the whole "Putin's puppet" thing, which is by far the weakest, least credible, and least likely to influence voters of the many bad things you can say about Trump.

Even ex-armed services people I know hate Gabbard.

trump is the puppet of the last powerful person he talked to

these ppl who automatically assign protest votes to their losing candidate are... morons

there's a difference between hating gabbard and baseless conspiracy theorizing around her. though of course clinton has to justify to herself why she lost so...

you got less votes than obama in 2012 despite the size of the electorate having grown by 10 million in the interim. that damn jill stein!

Even ex-armed services people I know hate Gabbard.

Gabbard constantly references her military service, which is about the only asset she has going for her in this race, but that kind of throwing your service into everyone's face also gravels a lot of ex-military members, regardless of her policy positions.

you got less votes than obama in 2012 despite the size of the electorate having grown by 10 million in the interim

It's true, every individual vote was just a little bit smaller in 2016

XP Exactly. I've got a good friend who's ex-Marines (two tours in Iraq), and she has a good line about Gabbard needing a daily quota of people thanking her for her service.

Re: Hillary vs. Tulsi, it's extra LOLsome when you rush to your favorite candidate's defense by validating the insinuations.

Biden aides use a drum emoji on social media to bolster their candidate’s statement that he’ll beat Trump “like a drum.”

look, here's the deal, I will beat him...like...a...drum. I've done it before, as part of the Obama administration, I can do it again. Look, here's the deal.

Great! Thank you @HillaryClinton. You, the queen of warmongers, embodiment of corruption, and personification of the rot that has sickened the Democratic Party for so long, have finally come out from behind the curtain. From the day I announced my candidacy, there has been a ...

This is a totally stupid and inconsequential story, and I'm loving it

the full tulsi tweet:

... concerted campaign to destroy my reputation. We wondered who was behind it and why. Now we know — it was always you, through your proxies and ...

... powerful allies in the corporate media and war machine, afraid of the threat I pose.

It’s now clear that this primary is between you and me. Don’t cowardly hide behind your proxies. Join the race directly.

weird

is she high

lmao that Booker tweet is amazing

thank you so much, tulsi gabbard, for your call to hillary clinton to official join the race so that we can finally end this charade of a primary and narrow it down to the two people that we are all thinking about

Pretty powerful rant except for the use of "cowardly" as an adverb.

that's teh touch of authenticity as any whomst use twitter kno

Booker just got my vote tbh

I've kinda warmed to Booker's persona. Still wouldn't vote for him and some of his policy ideas are wtf. Coolest thing about him is probably his gf tbrr.

If Rosario Dawson is ur partner ur automatically second fiddle tho come on

I can't stand his voice.

I suspect that Tulsi accusing Hillary of having "proxies" in the current field of candidates and her attempting to confront Elizabeth Warren with questions at the debate are part of the same game.

She's never been serious about winning a Dem nomination. This has been a setup to an independent/Green run from the jump. Her press is almost exclusively on Fox and her biggest online supporters are Breitbart types.

the only person I know who likes tulsi or has ever even talked about her is a big time qanon fifty-something who is the hugest trump guy I’ve ever met

for the thousandth time, Booker is in bed with the worst NJ bosses (yes they still exist) and is corrupt as hell

you mean like the mob?

just sayin'

surprised the article failed to mention he gets pharma money

The Democratic establishment has got to stop smearing women it finds inconvenient! The character assassination of women who don’t toe the party line will backfire. Stay strong @TulsiGabbard . You deserve respect and you have mine.

MW knows something about how the political Twitter game is played.

ummm wouldn't that apply to Tulsi's statement as well? o wait "establishment", cool dog whistle Marianne

there's a truly awful response from HRC on this btw

Political Twitter game worth 1million crypto delegates

I will pay The Media *checks wallet* 10 dollars to not talk about this story anymore

my “liberal” friends in the group chat are whining about rearranging chairs on the titanic “while the arctic melts”... and steady stanning Pete fucking Butteigeig.
