Your next 2020 Democratic presidential primary thread: Now we're serious

I don't think it's safe to assume a Bush would have steered clear of war lol

In what world would Jeb! have won over Hillz

Hey remember when we were worried that the Bush and Clinton dynasties would have a permanent hold over the Presidency?

I remember people using the word "coronate," as a back-formation from "coronation." People, we have the perfectly good verb "crown." In a coronation someone is crowned. Makes me want to get out the Grammar Hammer and SMASH.

crowned means getting bonked in the head

means you've just been born cuz you're a big baby iirc

very cool stuff, definitely good faith and definitely some new material we haven't heard yet

JUST NOW: @MikeBloomberg Senior Adviser @TimOBrien goes there on @BernieSanders.

Orgasms. Rape fantasies. Children running naked. All there.@NewDaypic.twitter.com/EUckLVYNR0

lol remember when George Allen attacked Jim Webb over the stuff in his novels?

wow look at that devastating new oppo that's actually just the same tired old shit as always

I remember when George Allen was caught on camera calling the Indian man filming him for oppo “macaca”, great moments in Republicans

lol what? What's the 'evidence' behind these allegations?

NYT articles behind a secretive "paywall"

Bernie: Let me just say one word in response: (looks at Bloomberg) Epstein. Eh? We good? Or should I elaborate?

i've been hearing "Bernie's child p0rn" from haters for years

meanwhile

100% correct. Putting his name in quotes is a nice touch. https://t.co/HTMYSo15pJ

Sorry forgot the addendum

Bernie: Now go get your shinebox.

president donald j. trump, welcome to the #resistance

Bloomberg thinking he can take the high ground on this issue (or any other really, but especially this one) is fucking rich. I trust Bernie will let him have it.

gotta love when trump starts rumors ("supposedly")

Remember when Obama was kind of sleepy for one debate against Mittens and everybody freaked out?

I think Donald Trump is gonna vote for Bernie Sanders for president

lol what? What's the 'evidence' behind these allegations?

It's just a bunch of Sexual Revolution-era pieces he wrote in alt papers in the early 70s. Imho a nothingburger but who knows what will play with the American public:

I finally feel bad for someone in Buttigieg's orbit

unsurprised Pete would "jump on" the political advantage of being straight

it all counts

Thanks. I can see this harming him among family-values voters who are likely to vote Trump anyway. I do expect a mini-moral panic will ensue, but that was bound to happen no matter what.

Eh. He said he would've but then met Chasten.

He's still terrible.

He wrote pieces in the seventies in which women fantasized about rape. This came up in 2016.

"Children should be able to run around naked! People have fantasies that involve force and violence!" Shocking stuff. xps

young Bernie sounds like a Ron Paul bro--fluoride in the water etc.

Some of us care about our precious bodily fluids.

Terrible url: https://www.npr.org/sections/itsallpolitics/2015/05/29/410606045/the-bernie-sanders-rape-fantasy-essay-explained

i cannnnnnotttt imaginnnnee caring about this shiiiiit

The revolution comes when two strangers smile at each other, when a father refuses to send his child to school because schools destroy children, when a commune is started and people begin to trust each other, when a young man refuses to go to war, and when a girl pushes aside all that her mother has ‘taught’ her and accepts her boyfriend’s love.

if we somehow survive the next ten years, imagine what candidates w/ typical lifelong internet histories will face

"you did WHAT on a white couch??"

gonna be real hard to find presidents in another 10 or 15 years if never having posted cringe is a prerequisite

never having posted cringe

jesus christ stop this usage right here right now

Imagine fending off suggestions that you're somehow morally unfit to run against the living embodiment of human depravity.

I can never run for public office because of the lists on my blog.

So Not Gonna Happen Guy 2032

i would run for office but i am always tripping, 100% of the days
whoooooaaaa

But, yeah, guy with multiple sexual harassment allegations against him should definitely work this angle.xps

sorry for the bad meme phrasing, i will withdraw myself from all future presidential elections

A nothingburger. But so were Benghazi and emails. Repeat a youthful indiscretion often enough and it becomes the truth.

ah yes, hillary’s youthful indiscretions which she committed aged *checks notes* sixtysomething

I mean
