The Democrat Primary Race Is Filling Up

[KG1]

As far left as Elizabeth Warren is, There’s still quite a bit of difference between Her and Bernie. Bernie said that the difference between them is that she is a capitalist, he is not. Pretty much in those same words.

I guess old white guys are cool if they fit the right amount of progressiveness. If that's the case then all this Democrat diversity talk is a load of crap. It's the platform of whom one chooses to back that is the decider in the end.

As well it should be IMO.

 

[BugI02]

You do know that the Republican Party is FAR more racially and ethnically homogenous that the Democrats right? So your criticism would equally applied to the other side too.

It's not the reality on the ground that is annoying, it's the hypocrisy. The Republicans are not presenting themselves as uber-woke champions of diversity, so no one should be surprised. A point that I've made often is that true conservatives are cautious and incremental about change. They are often accused of wishing to preserve 'white privilege' or some such bull****, but in reality they are leery of too much change too fast leading to deleterious changes that are unable to be undone

 

[Kutnupe14]

They just reported on the news that there are only two women and NO people of color in the Democrat debate tonight. Sounds pretty homogeneous to me.

Lol, wut?

Just like, billionaires are evil.
Unless it's Bloomberg.

I'd say they are more concerned about preserving the good parts of the culture and not changing without thinking about the repercussions. Not all change is for the good- like emphasizing group identity (aka tribalism) which doesn't have a history of long-term stability and peace. If a change happens in a segment of society and doesn't have serious negative repercussions, then conservatives will adopt it- like marijuana.

Looked at that debate thing last night!

Sad when the best CNN can say about Biden is he didn’t hurt himself, struck me as a old feeble minded gentlemen attempting to explain a complex issues he is not mentally well.

The rest of them are the normal blah blah crap gloom and doom how terrible the country and economy is doing and how all free stuff will make it better. Long conversation about free child care basically tax payers fund child care for everyone so I pay for other people’s child care. Large companies will be taxed to death be aware that anyone above $100k is a target for maximum tax burden.

It was like they were collectively in denial about the economy and unemployment you would have thought we were in a free fall recession. I didn’t know if we stop fracking and oil production our economy will improve some how we would magically not be reliant on foreign oil.

Free healthcare for all no idea how to pay for it just free also gonna have federal drug companies yeah that’s the ticket.

I guess that entire world hates us and if we rejoined the Iran deal everything will be fine. If President all the Democrats want to ask permission to act and will wait for Congress to approve. Trump caused all the problems in the Middle East it’s all him all of it!

Green new deal climate change is gonna kill us all gotta do other stuff than normal work and the government will pay you till you find a green job with rich peoples money.

Rich people are bad rich companies are bad anybody with money is bad (except all the millionaires on stage).

In summary
If any of the current field of misfits get elected President our economy will implode overnight and we will become a very poor place quickly.
On the plus side illegal immigration will be cut because nobody wants to hang out with poor people.

Looked at that[STRIKE] debate thing [/STRIKE]Dog and Pony Show last night!

Hardly a "Debate". Any high school debate coach would be embarrassed at what is referred to as debates in todays political arena.

Too bad their hatred for Trump is so deep they cannot even bear to view his [STRIKE] debate [/STRIKE]Dog and Pony Show performances and learn from him. A liberal media guy this morning said that Trump will crush anyone of the people on the stage last night in a debate.

House leader McCarthy has an intriguing theory on why Nancy held back the articles of impeachment, to keep Sanders in DC, and not campaigning in Iowa while Biden can...

While denied by all parties, but deep down in places they don't talk about at parties, they know the DNC is once again trying to screw Sanders. He is only slightly better than Trump, they need Biden to make more illicit money...

Who likes Bloomberg? I doubt he has a realistic chance, nor Steyer, because they are billionaires for one. I, personally, don't believe that being filty rich should a considered a disqualifier, but working class voters have traditionally been suspicious of such candidates.

They already have.

As more news about Sanders staffers is being released, his staff are protecting their Twitter accounts.

I don't think it's a disqualifer also.
But I'm not on stage expounding the inherent evilness of the rich.

[ArcadiaGP]

Yeah, that was absolutely planned.

CNN, et al setting Warren up to be the nominee. The "leak" CNN threw out about Bernie saying women can't win... just a bunch of Kavanaugh-level lies now.

This is politics. I'd love to see Bernie get pissed and do something that really hurts the party... but we'll see.

There are fractures in the Democrat party... They even have some "NeverWarren" going on. They say she's for the "rich", not liberal enough.

I think we're just getting to the point that the Democrat voters are realizing their party has gone way too far to the left... bringing these unelectable garbage-fires to the table.

Maybe some d voters feel that way, but a solid one third are upset the candidates are not left enough. AOC aligned groups are running a campaign against Biden and But....

But the far left base doesn't run the DNC or the MSM yet. What AOC is doing is fairly irrelevant because she has no real power outside of being a celebrity with socialists.

The establishment much prefers Warren. She is basically Hillary Clinton wearing a Bernie mask.

That's going to **** off the Bernie supporters - getting the nomination stolen twice.

 

[Doug]

Obviously, if the nomination is not given to Bernie, he should run a third party campaign.
I'd contribute to that.

Good point, if Liz has cut a deal with the big money, Bernie's campaign is a dead man walking.
