“Slavery is an evil of Colossal magnitude & I am utterly averse to the admission of slavery into the Missouri Territories. It being among my first wishes to see some plan adopted by which slavery in this country may be abolished by law.” John Adams, founding father, 2nd POTUS https://t.co/ch9gCMFUn7

can you imagine getting owned by ted cruz? I'd jump off a bridge before breakfast.

i'd love to post that to a coupla Bootyfan boards I am banned from

lmao

peter, peter

the really heinous thing is that pete (probably knows) he was selling bullshit in that clip. it's a cynical fairytale to protect the founders who were all bad and racist to varying degrees.

lol maybe the founders should have asked the slaves for help if they didn't understand slavery

i think it sounds worse for them if they "didn't know" it was bad

tbh I'd believe that Ivy Leaguer Buttigieg didn't learn shit about American history. We still have high school textbooks insisting Reconstruction was a noble mistake.

garden variety pandering

RIP Buttigieg

As president, I'll turn the East Room into an open office plan, where I’ll sit with our team.

I’ll use the Oval Office for some official functions – never for tweeting – but the rest of the time, I’ll be where a leader should be: with the team. https://t.co/zIU3ZL5uIv pic.twitter.com/jLwWKJCmxw

loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool

this is funny

lol that all the moderate candidates are tripping over their dicks to show how electable they are and they are all failsons

if biden maintains his lead after these early primaries, warren and sanders should jump on one ticket. i know they're "not the same" but medicate for all and closing corporate tax loopholes is a winning message and biden needs to go. if he is the nominee we are looking at "emails" 2.0 with this hunter biden stuff.

and he won't be able to defend himself adequately because he just babbles.

I do wonder if it's a possibility that's been discussed. They still, AFAICT, have never directly attacked each other.

i hope so. the moment is too important for it to be a clash of personalities. i am #teambernie forever, but warren is a strong second and the others don't even rank.

I’m unenthusiastic about Sanders as the nom, but I’d be good with him with Warren as VP, particularly since a second term seems unlikely.

You haven’t renounced your citizenship yet?

i'd be extremely surprised if two septuagenarians were on the Dem ticket together.

There are good reasons not to have Warren as a running mate but I don't think age is one of them

Bernie and Stacey Abrams is obvs. the dream ticket, though I feel like I've probably already posted that a half-dozen times.

Nah you have to pay too much to renounce USA citizenship xp

I mean, my dream ticket is actually Dolomite/Han Solo

the beast who chases after / the i who runs away 2020

haven't you heard? if you're a progressive Abrams is now bad, actually

Now that Neera Tanden is trending it's a good time to bring up that @stacyabrams is a board member of Center of American progress, the gross centrist think tank Neera runs.

She is not our friend. This is why Joe Biden likes her so muchhttps://t.co/c70e6G9did

does Han Solo additionally have big tiddies in the dream?

i'd love to post that to a coupla Bootyfan boards I am banned from

guys Morbs is running around getting banned from multiple other boards for his terrible nicknames for Democrat Party politicians: obviously the moderating around here is due for an overhaul

lol

if biden maintains his lead after these early primaries, warren and sanders should jump on one ticket

I respect the impetus behind this, but declaring a "ticket" when you haven't secured the nomination is a loser move that has never worked out well for anyone.

Just ask nonPresident Cruz or nonVice President Fiorina

i don't think it makes sense to split the left vote when the centrists are centering on one candidate

how are there multiple pete buttigieg fan boards?

treeship, do you know what people are

On Buttigieg/Cruz, technically John Adams was off on a diplomatic mission in Europe, and isn't even a signatory to the Constitution. James Madison, principal author and designer of the 3/5ths compromise, owned 100+ slaves, and didn't free any of them in his will (as Washington did, and as Jefferson did for the males of Hemmings family). Of the first 12 presidents, all but John Adams and his son John Quincy Adams were slave holders.

wait, are you telling me that some of the founding fathers supported slavery?? the authors of a document that begins with "WE the people"??

xp what does that have to do with whether they knew it was *wrong* or not? Of course they knew it was wrong ffs. They just varied in what they cared to do about it and when. (The State of Vermont -- which for several reasons split from New York immediately after the Revolution -- banned slavery in **1777**. )

I'm trying to imagine all of these men of the time, like, reading the Bible and thinking, "I don't get it, why did the Israelites want to get away from Egypt? What was the big deal?"

https://www.nytimes.com/2003/11/01/arts/from-noah-s-curse-to-slavery-s-rationale.html

turns out that people can find justification for just about anything in the bible

treeship, do you know what people are

the proper response to ted fucking cruz is basically "homie you'd 100% leave slavery "up to the states" in 2019 so please do go fuck yourself w a rusty chainsaw"
