2020 Election

[tekcop]

and actually trying to give concrete plans for all these promises

???

 

[KingPK]

Warren had been much more upfront with plans for raising revenues through her "ultra-millionaires tax" and other such plans while Bernie (as far as I've seen) has more broad outlines for all his ideas but hasn't really gone into much specifics. Analysis of Warren's plans say they might not be enough/might not be as effective as hoped, though.

 

[geniusMoment]

In all fairness almost none of the plans would have a chance of getting through Congress even if the Dems had a majority in both the House and Senate. There are still too many centrist dems and no Republicans would vote for anything. But, I think Bernie getting elected would be a good first step toward policies that benefited the majority of people not the 1%.

it's funny how bernie going after biden for legitimate issues would be 'bad for the party' but using 'socialist' like it's a dirty word to prevent

a good first step toward policies that benefited the majority of people not the 1%.

is a-ok lirl

 

[Baby Shoes]

I just want someone who can beat the sitting individual before things get worse and have someone involved somewhere in the party to work on that absolving of the student loans that a few kept talking about. I don't ask for much.

Some idiot MAGA chud whipped out a Nazi flag at one of Bernard's rallies in Phoenix

But I guess this should happen cause his supporters are too mean online.

Mannnnn...Bloomberg's got to go down as one of the worst presidential campaigns of all time. Probably the worst. What are some other shitty modern ones? Rudy Giuliani in '08 comes to mind.

I guess NYC Mayors shouldn't run for POTUS.

 

[Precious Roy]

I mean, DeBlasio was pretty fucking bad, so that's two NYC mayors in one cycle

Jeb in 2016 crashed and burned hard

 

[geniusMoment]

So, I was looking over Bernie's potential path trying to convince myself he still has a shot. He's given up Mississppi on Tuesday, as he cancelled his rally there. Biden's winning huge there, and will pick up over 20 delegates. Bernie still has a shot in Michigan, but Biden looks like he has a lead plus momentum in the state. Same with Missouri. But, even if Bernie wins both it will be tight and Biden will pick up more in Mississippi than Bernie will in either.

Bernie should win big in Washington state on Tuesday. So that's a win.

But, then I looked at the following week and the big prize of Florida. Oh boy. There are quite a few people speculating that Bernie won't even get to the 15% to be viable. Biden has upwards of a 50 point advantage currently. Biden will net at least 200 delegates from Florida alone, and that is assuming Bernie gets over 15%.

Basically, it's 100% guaranteed Biden's lead is only be bigger than it is now in 2 weeks. By that point I can't see Bernie getting the enthusiasm needed to comeback.

I don't see the path right now.

 

[909]

It's over. He fucked himself hard when it comes to future viability by throwing away Florida.

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

I mean, DeBlasio was pretty fucking bad, so that's two NYC mayors in one cycle

DeBlasio had an awful campaign but I don't know if it helps or hurts its case for one of the worst ever that everyone thought it was an awful idea to begin with. Like you have a 33% approval rating in your own city, how do you expect people in Iowa to like you!? Jeb, Bloomberg, and Rudy were all expected to be serious contenders.

We've still got eight months left of this election but we already have a front runner for 2024.

This is fine...

 

[Mickey Massuco]

senile people can't kick your ass, watch what you say pal

 

[Brocklock]

Stop with that malarkey you gonna get Joe Daddy to roll up his cuffs and take it behind the gym.

 

[909]

Lol Trump has been senile for like six years, he isn't just now "becoming" senile.

 

[Brocklock]

He seemed senile ten years ago when I tried to watch Celeb Apprentice with Goldberg and Maria. I'm gonna say Affliction MMA closing caused his senility.

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

Joe Biden only spoke for seven minutes at his rally last night in St. Louis and his camp is refusing to do a one on one debate with Bernard next Saturday. Instead they're going to do a double town hall format.

He is gonna channel Admiral Stockdale in his debates with Trump. JFC

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

Kamala Harris just endorsed Biden.

Guess she forgave him for being opposed to busing.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Could be that she "forgave" him. More likely that she didn't, but also doesn't have a "burn it all down" philosophy, and would rather endorse the candidate that wants to work within her party than the one who wants to work outside it.

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

I really wasn't expecting Kamala to endorse Bernard. She's like ultimate political opportunist and doesn't seem like someone with super strong principles so I'm guess once Biden was the clear runner she was willing to play forgive and forget RE: the desegregation issue.

Speaking of civil rights issues of the past. The Rev Jesse Jackson endorsed Bernard Sanders today.

Fun, random fact: Bernie endorsing Jesse in '88 (which helped Jesse win Vermont primary) was first time he dipped his toes in Democratic politics

 

[Brooklyn Zoo]

yeah, Bernie rather not work with segregationists. Shame on him

Cory Booker endorsed Joe Biden as well

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

If Bernard gets dog walked tomorrow, I hope he reconsiders his plan of taking campaign to the convention. Like I love Bernie and hate Biden being the nominee but Dems got to start figuring out a damn general election strategy and I think Bernie's resources are better off used helping Senate & Congressional candidates.

Next month and a half or so looks bad for Bernard outside of Wisconsin.

 

[bigolsmitty]

Gonna LOL when we've had all this focus on electability then we have a recession + pandemic and anybody with a D next to their name could've won, like '08.

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

Yeah but Biden is susceptible to Corona so he might die then we'll have Stacey Abrams or someone cool as Prez

What a joke.

I mean that list is nothing but geusses based on what people have said they'd be open to or would "love" to do. Not exactly solid info. Warren at Treasury would be pretty good too. Kerry I thought was one of the better recent Secretary of States, since he was part of the Iran deal and Obama's "Pivot to Asia".

 

[Precious Roy]

Unless Warren can angle to be VP I'd rather she stay in the senate and is in a leadership position when the Dems hopefully take over
