2020 Democratic presidential primary

Gabbard will be on The View tomorrow. That should be a real meeting of the minds, her and McCain.

Unmistakable signs of a floundering campaign are all around her: Harris’ town hall crowds are thinner and more tepid than they once were. Applause lines are scarcer. Network embeds who have followed her for months are plotting their next moves. Inside her campaign, staff morale sinks lower with each new poll. Aides sometimes talk about the campaign in the past tense before catching themselves. Unrest over the choices made by top campaign leadership has grown. Some Harris staffers felt blindsided by a decision to lay off field organizers in New Hampshire when they previously were led to believe that they could be redeployed to Iowa.

what a URL

i’m still surprised how poorly she’s done.

Yeah, she's doing no better even in California.

Even I thought "Hey, maybe do a little senatoring before you go for the brass ring."

people said that about Obama too but as has been said he was a unique talent who made an instant connection with millions after the '04 convention and was drawn into the presidency as if by gravity. Harris ain't that, I guess

also Harris didn't consolidate the black vote; she tried to run out the gate as the establishment candidate and, since everyone still thinks the establishment candidate is a white man, confused the fuck out of everyone who wanted her to be The Political Mo'Nique

^^^this is a key point

Biden basically hogged both lanes that she wanted/needed to get into

And she bodyslammed him and had an opening, but then walked back the attack rather than dropping the other elbow and the electorate en masse went "WEAKSAUCE" and put her on the Klobuchar pile

nobody wants to be on the bottom of that pile

poor Cory Booker

Obama being a supernaturally charismatic politician has likely ruined the chances for another black politician to be President for the next several decades because every white person is going to assume that because he was like that, every black politician who comes after him will be like that, and they will be judged more harshly when they aren't.

until michelle ran...

i don't like her because she's a COP COP COP COP and...wait a minute she's actually a prosecutor and maaaybe not the worst, and a poc ... oh well i guess it just is not her time, it's lil biden time now.

Don't rule Harris out yet, she has one more ace up her sleeve...

i blieve it was johnson who said “puppies are the last refuge if a scoundrel.”

lol if works too

she's a COP COP COP COP and...wait a minute she's actually a prosecutor and maaaybe not the worst,

Prosecutors are worse than cops

huh can't remember the last time a prosecutor just straight-up murdered an unarmed person but maybe that's me

+ actively taking part in the cover ups of murders of unarmed persons

prosecuting anyone other than cops and frauds is a poor use of resources

violent crime and property crime are basically fine

Gabbard will be on The View tomorrow. That should be a real meeting of the minds, her and McCain

This was lame. Behar was the only one even remotely on the attack. Gabbard Gabbard'd, brought up her service a bunch, and McCain thanked her for 'not wanting to take my guns'.

test

*Of course* a US politics thread wiggles his way out of this one!

hello there

oh god this is the only thread that works. the full huis clos scenario

turn back you tulsi gabbard

these are desperate times. i am finally making my decision on this poll: TIM KAINE gets MY vote

i mean, this is also turrican's fault, right

i maintain that the closing of the turrican thread has collapsed the fabric of the borad, leaving us trapped in this accursed pocket dimension

It was him all along. Hiding in plain sight in the thread. Looking at this night, inhumanly patient, waiting for some secret, silent alarm to trigger him off.

eight white boys moaning sniping and linking youtubes in a political ilx thread... forever
