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

I don't want her going anywhere.

i figure tulsi is still in it to rake in donations.

or launder money. whatevs.

these are the people who abandoned her en masse

Assuming she keeps her seat I hope she keeps up with the PAC and expanding the # of leftist reps for a good long time

I think one way or another AOC *is* performing at a national level.

At this particular moment AOC is kinda my dream prez candidate which, iirc, means that she has no shot of ever becoming president.

my friend's pastor is trying to run against her next election. I am like good luck throwing that $ away and taking your time.

they won't get pastor

it's a large, conservative for NY/religious hispanic community in the bronx.

i'd be more than happy to settle for this then:

I truly yearn for this https://t.co/bfDWHJjbnR

oh, i see you made joke. xpost

If she ever steps down from her role as AFL-CIO leader I would fuckin kill for Sara Nelson to enter politics

electoral politics that is

I just wanna see AOC keep killing it in congress forever, that and her as Mayor of NYC

wld also enjoy her mopping the floor w schumer

women can have it all

Warren could have dominated the middle lane. I think her major mistake was a nuanced embrace of M4A rather than public option in November.
I've noticed Liz Lads can't acknowledge a fuckup without ultimately blaming it on voters

one of the main reasons I decided not to vote for her was her refusal to nuke Biden regarding the bankruptcy bill. It's literally why she got into politics(tm) and she didn't say a fucking thing about it in the debates. Assume its because she didn't want to rock the establishment boat but it was her prime opportunity to distinguish herself and she didn't do it.

Prediction: Bern stans will still blame Warren for not dropping out sooner

they've never been known to hold grudges

Especially against women

As long as dems keep sniping at one another through November, I'm happy.

.

Prediction: Bern stans will still blame Warren for not dropping out sooner

uncomfortable open secret: there are actually zero democratic politicians between the ages of 40 and 65

Ro Khanna! tho prob not figurehead type but then who knows

tbh folks can't blame klobucher and pete for their alleged strategic move of dropping out/endorsing Biden, and then yell at warren for not doing the same thing for Bernie in a timely manner. i mean they *can* but idk.

Warren's Supporters Second Choice:

Sanders 40%
Biden 16%@MorningConsult Poll 2/23-27 https://t.co/DDbtklur1P

the Tulsi comeback begins now

undecided obv - xp

Klobuchar and Pete dropping out was a move in service of an awful goal - people wanted Warren to drop out in service of a not-awful goal. These are not contradictory ideas.

Everyone calling it a 2-candidate race. Seems like a lot of TULSI ERASURE. This is not a serious tweet.

Xpost it's only an awful goal because you personally didn't like the candidate they dropped out for.

Yes.

That's... how it works.

yes

Sanders, Biden Can Expect Near-Equal Gain From Warren’s Exit

https://morningconsult.com/2020/03/05/sanders-biden-can-expect-near-equal-gain-from-warrens-exit/

PDF of poll mentioned in that tweet Simon posted above:

https://morningconsult.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/200149_crosstabs_ENDORSEMENTS_RVs_v2_STACKED_JB.pdf

They dropped out to enable the senile guy whose resume is: Iraq X 2, PATRIOT Act, bankruptcy bill, Anita Hill, steadfast support for the Hyde Amendment, drug warrior, author of the '94 crime bill.

idgi where there's the other 44%

That poll is from Feb. 23-27. More candidates back then.

again, these 2ns choice polls are sort of worthless in the absence of an endorsement

see how many go to Biden if she's actually campaigning for Bernie, or vice versa

I just wanna see AOC keep killing it in congress forever, that and her as Mayor of NYC

Castro is young he ran for president he would have been fun! Xxxxxp

i...don't you all do anything but read and post on this shit? if i check in here, i literally cannot catch up. i just found out about the post-maddow clyburn-gate (i thought it was a politically unwise stylation, but totally not offensive to me, a clueless old wite, sooo...? 'he should do better' seems like a reasonable takeaway).

so my fave candidate is out. bernie all the way. he better choose a good, healthy young running mate who understands politics, because healthy young and politics are not his strong suits. but that's jmo.

Biden generally sucks (though he sucks less than Bloomberg and far less than Trump, don't @ me) and so do Mayor Pete and Klobs. Their move was predictable. It doesn't mean Elizabeth Warren has to do the bidding of her opponent, as if the dude has a manifest destiny and must be deferred to. She stuck it out through Super Tuesday, it didn't work out, and she's moving on and seems likely to help Sanders now. Too bad she didn't come to the rescue sooner for Bernie, riding in heroically in the eleventh hour on Monday, but if he needed that much help to steal some states from Joe Biden maybe that's on him too. Bernie was my second choice though so good news for him (though I'm in California so maybe not idk).

at least some bernie people seem to be chilling out considering I have seen that "Be Insufferable or Win an Election. Pick One" piece circulating by bernie people.

the alarming possibility that's been the elephant in the room for months is that bernie+warren support seemed to top off around 35-40%, with another 40% going to moderates, and the remaining 20% of voters' preferences demonstrating that they have no fucking clue what's goin on(bloomberg, gabbard, williamson before, maybe yang).

This is not a serious tweet.

Oh shit, a liar paradox.

i guess bernie can try to win over the completely clueless crowd, but i have a feeling most of them will wind up wandering off into the woods

xxxp - No one suggested frog marching her to the podium and forcing her to drop out? Her staying in was harmful - one way or another - if your goal was to not nominate Joe Biden. I think you're weirdly passive or willfully misunderstanding this concept.

There's not some Platonic ideal of proper campaigning and right action - people wanted her to drop out to help their candidate. Just like, over the next X months that mentioning Biden's record is 'purity politics' and leftists are bad people if they don't vote for the soupbrain - because the people saying that want their candidate elected, damn any other considerations.

at least some bernie people seem to be chilling out

The third-highest post on the Chapo subreddit rn is "Be nice to Warren libs" fwiw
