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

Of the Super Tuesday states, which ones are either swingy or are in some sense "like" swingy states? North Carolina maybe? Virginia? Certainly those are two states where if the same person wins both they're winning the election and it's not out of the question. Minnesota has a decent amount in common with Wisconsin and Michigan. I agree that for GE purposes it's kind of sadly irrelevant what Democrats in California and Oklahoma think.

I think Warren is basically fine

I think Sanders is basically fine

I think Biden is totally fucked but I will be fine if he is President

I think Bloomberg is a gigantic ghoul but I will probably be fine if he is President

she is very passionate about the issues she thinks are important, and is more focused on that than she has been on advertising herself.

This makes more sense to me as a critique of Sanders than Warren. He doesn't do biography; she talks a lot about her upbringing and how she got into politics.

I don't trust Bernie to be a good president and I think most of his plans are pretty half-baked. that said i probably do prefer him over biden + bloomberg or maybe all 3 are about equal in my eyes.

you are aware that the candidates “plans” don’t matter with a republican senate, right?

so i shouldn't care what those plans are?

iatee would have us believe that with a Republican Senate we should prefer the candidate with the fewest plans

I know the polls show Bernie & Biden taking a similar lead on Trump but Biden generally has no ideas and is a poor campaigner, plus his political record is downright atrocious and those things are all gonna matter down the stretch

Bloomberg would start a shooting war within six weeks just to get his rocks off, and probably hand out some fat contracts to GEO to build new cages for detained immigrants.

this is incredibly stupid

silby what is that speculation based on?

I mean, if you like splitting hairs and arguing on the internet, sure

There's an argument that Biden is the actually the best opportunity for the Democrats to win the Senate.

bad mood, bean allergy, anxious about covid-19, think Bloomberg is a racist piece of shit with bloodlust

not sure of work task to do, so posting

Someone like me in 20 years will perhaps be closer to fine with Sanders now, someone like me will be much closer to fucked with Biden.

Yeah Bloomberg admitting climate change is real and bringing you Market Solutions to ‘combat’ it is probably outweighed by the fact that if a BLM or immigrant protest happens in his watch he’s a weird angry tiny authoritarian who will revel in using military force to squash it

he is also an investor in fracking

he's an investor in lots of things. he's a billionaire.

he should stop

the only thing worse than a fake billionaire for president would be a real billionaire

Yes, those making environmental arguments in favor (however mild) of Bloomberg should dig a little deeper.

maybe Obama will be the last non-billionaire president

As a billionaire, then, he doesn't need to be investing in fracking. He has plenty of money.

This isn't someone buying stocks in a bad company with their IRA, he doesn't need more.

maybe Trump will be

DJP otm

if you like splitting hairs and arguing on the internet

Fortunately this does not describe any extant ilx0rz

Someone like me in 20 years will perhaps be closer to fine with Sanders now, someone like me will be much closer to fucked with Biden.

Oh great, now I am singing "closer I am to fucked" inna Indigo Girls stylee

The problem with Biden is he'd probably lose to Trump, the problem with Bloomberg is he's dogshit

truly astonished by ilxors assessing him as "basically fine"

it’s mordy

he's an investor in lots of things. he's a billionaire.

hence, no billionaires in office, ever, esp autocrats

Is your bad mood damaging your reading comprehension, silby?

Definitely

what is that speculation based on?

wars are always "good for business"? including the one we've been fighting nonstop since 2001?

I mean I am not one to hold myself out as posting calmly as I normally do when I’m posting agitatedly

then you'll be pleased to know nobody actually said this.

h

it’s mordy

i said he'd be better than trump on a host of issues esp climate change and he would. i didn't say he'd be basically fine.

it's over

James can Comey-t a big bag of dicks IMO

It's like that old saying: "As goes Comey, so goes the electorate"

true in 2016

hey who knows maybe this smug goofy fuck will be the butterfly effect that brings us Trump twice

the election so nice, Comey ruined it twice

more than trace amounts of malarkey to be found there

Imagining Mika 'n' Joe twinkling merrily at Comey as he explains himself, I'd rather jump in front of my car.

if Bloomberg dips if/when Biden gets the nom (ugh) and doesnt spend approx twice what he did on his little idiotic exercise in narcissism on every single senate and house dem candidate within a margin of 10 pts I will make sure the last thing I eat is his still beating heart. U!S!A!

Any delegates Bloomberg gets will most likely go to Biden within the first round of the convention

glad to see everybody took my suggestion to log out and chill, and that this thread has in no way become an exhausting and overheated melee of badness

Chris Wray gonna announce an investigation into Burisma late October, then clear Biden two years into the second Trump term.

Any delegates Bloomberg gets

lol
