2020 Democratic presidential primary

I've been hearing that slogan for decades, it doesn't seem to have a specifically Latin American communist state connection.

Yeah, it’s a chant you hear at demos. Also, the Blaze is Glenn Beck’s outlet so maybe their coverage is a bit tilted

Umm.. everyone in Latin America uses this chant during protests regardless of which side they’re on.

Wait no the blaze is tucker Carlson’s rag, innit? Christ I can’t keep track anymore

I first heard that chant from some El Salvadoran communists visiting the US in the mid-80s and have only heard it since at leftist rallies. Possibly because I don't attend right wing rallies.

lmao

lmao at Mayor Pete btw not Aimless

Although Aimless’ gentle joke there is also good, lols all around

this thread feels poisonous to me

This is the least unpleasant thread politics thread bc we don’t talk about Tr*mp or Br*xit

no it is the most unpleasant

I've unbookmarked and re-bookmarked numerous times

I'm sorry silby for directing my ire at you, you are one of my favorite ilxors

Wait no the blaze is tucker Carlson’s rag, innit? Christ I can’t keep track anymore

The Blaze is Glenn Beck
Tucker's is the Daily Caller

xp no sweat Dan and thank u ^_^

cosigning on eephus, no longer care who gets the nom, just someone please win.

love that that whistle-headed hurrr durr classichul librul Dave Rubin is a Blaze guy now.

My brain is still in recovery mode from taking in so many high level important ideas.

oh no

uh

that says '2012 campaign'. how and why would that be relevant now?

Wait, this wasn't actually organized or released by the Warren campaign:

https://www.cnn.com/2019/12/18/politics/elizabeth-warren-obama-endorsements/index.html

I'm also never going to use the phrase "buck wild" again

she did link it on her twitter it seems, some intern probably shoulda caught that

I'm grateful to have the support of these Obama campaign alumni and my fellow Obama administration alumni. Their work changed what we know is possible in our politics. Together, we can win in 2020 and build a government that works for everyone. https://t.co/BPlavS9uSz

Their work changed what we know is possible in our politics.

"For example, we now know we can drug black men in basements and sex them to death. Progress!"

Warren campaign says Buck (who donated to Obama in 2012) should not have been on the list, which was compiled by supporters, then seen by the campaign.

"We caught some non-staff that populated the list but obviously we missed one."https://t.co/fTtP0UrOrR

Warren spox: “This was a mistake considering Ed Buck was not staff or an alum. This was put together via google doc by some Obama alums and they caught some non-staff that populated the list but obviously they missed one. They are removing it.”

I think her people might be mis-identifying the problem here

lol

I'm watching this debate, so help me. Glad to see only 7 on the stage, even though I don't know why Steyer, Klobochar, and maybe Yang are still hanging around.

Ask yourself who on the #DemDebate stage is sparking a political revolution, a people-powered mass movement to smash the status quo.

I can only think of one.

— Peter Daou (@peterdaou) December 20, 2019

I wouldn’t trust this goofball grifter for a second

Klobuchar has picked up her numbers in Iowa, so she's hoping for Klomentum going into NH. Fat chance, but she's got more reason to hope than Steyer or Yang do. Those two have never held elective office. Their belief in their magical ability to master politics at a single bound is touching. I don't think they are dangerous.

my slight challop re Daou is that moving from lib->leftist is really pretty common so this shift isn't that weird. was he ever a conservative? xp

wait so did the union thing get settled then?

p bummed to see like 5 Yang yard signs in my area recently, perhaps the most of any candidate so far

Klomentum

thank you for this gift

Warren looks good on the cover of RS. I still need to read the interview.

Any chance your state would contribute any electoral votes to the Democratic nominee come November? Democratic voters can get a bit squirrely when they know they are totally irrelevant to electing a president.

They're actually talking about climate change for once

They talked about it in the last debate but the discussion is better this time

eh it's GA, so *technically* possible, but unlikely. especially since they just kicked 309,000 people of the rolls who i can virtually guarantee are not GOP voters.

Yang’s promise to America: Cory Booker will come back

Martin Luther King’s message of a freedom dividend of $1000 a month

also i don't know who these ppl are so for all i know they were Ron Paul rEVOLution dorks in the past

can't locate the debate on hulu live but heard parts on the radio and everyone sounded great, even Yang. I don't even care anymore.

Did Yang just say that China is using facial recognition to detain protestors and we need to do it better?

Yep, although I think he did do on accident. He talked about how China is using AI in scary ways against their own people and then pivoted directly to “we need to leapfrog China in technology”

Yang said China has "more data" than we do. Has this man ever heard of the NSA? Does he know where Facebook and Google are headquartered? That's a bit like when Kennedy and Nixon invoked a phony "missile gap" to stir up fear of the USSR.

The crowd is really pumped about Biden's reluctance to serve 2 terms.

Warren finally taking some shots at Buttigieg.
