2020 Democratic presidential primary

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"

mayo pete would never be confrontational, america is ready to move past the politics of division *morphs into suit*

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

otm

lmao that’s so good

Closer than I expected!

Bernie and Stacey Abrams is obvs. the dream ticket

(guy on msnbc voice) why????

however, 20 people who voted are dead

lol at this:

Alison Lundergan Grimes 4
Tim Kaine 2

Ok we can have a new thread now

can't believe we finally made it to the end of the 2020 Democratic presidential primary

and its bernard! good job usa

New thread shall be forthcoming. If no one else steps up by Jan. 2 , I'll see to it.

I thought we were gonna wait till the Iowa caucus to start a new one.

:)

I'm from Virginia but each time I see Terry McAuliffe's name I still autothink that they died in The Challenger.

I’m seriously considering DJP’s post about president Dolemite

I’d accept a Eddie Murphy doing it as a bit

Castro is out, freeing him up to be Sanders' or Warren's VP.

He'd be a great pick, pretty much the only candidate who felt like he was coming with a bunch of fresh ideas and perspectives, plus let's put Texas in play!

and he's the only cute candidate

I would accept Dolomite/Castro

otm

have to assume Booker will be out soon if he misses more debates

read that as Dolomite/Casino and was like, if the people demand it, okay

pretty much the only candidate who felt like he was coming with a bunch of fresh ideas and perspectives

Sanders too old hat for you?

:eyes peering emoji:

My deepest gratitude to you, @JulianCastro, for your tireless efforts to elevate all voices, shed light on the struggles everyday Americans face, and fight for a humane immigration system. I look forward to your continued leadership in the fight to transform our country. https://t.co/tF8zzyH70s

Don't know how Sanders could resist picking a running mate named Castro

i think Biden vs Trump karate would approximate the Dolemite fight scenes
