Ready The Clown Car: The First Batch of Democrats Are Ready To Announce Their 2020 Bids

Both are pretty awesome ads, IMO

 

Love your insightful slanted viewpoints.

 

I am not voting for Kamala Harris.

 

Yup but it is almost GOOD for their movement. Extremists want lots of discord, it is usually is needed to make them get enough of the vote to matter.

So I could see the Cortez wing of the party go 3rd party if their interests are met. Four more years of Trump may be enough to push the volatility enough to force the democratic party to nominate a radical.

 

Nope.

I vote Republican about 25% of the time as it is.

I wouldn't vote for Trump either, I would like vote for a third party candidate.

 

She didn't oppose due process, what a massive lie.

 

Old white men, mostly, single or not.

 

Howard Schultz then?

 

You're projecting, these are the central components of Republicans' campaigns.

 

we'll need a Bernie Sanders thread

 

sounds like he intends on running as the White Candidate . . . and here he seems to be tooting all the appropriate White Candidate dog whistles:

"In a Democratic Party that is increasingly deriving its energy—not to mention its votes—from minorities and women, Sanders remains a critic of identity politics and a firm believer that issues of race, while important, are not as salient and determinative as those of class. 'There are people who are very big into diversity but whose views end up being not particularly sympathetic to working people, whether they’re white or black or Latino,' he said. 'My main belief is that we need to bring together a coalition of people—of black and white and Latino and Asian-American and Native-American—around a progressive agenda which is prepared to take on an extraordinarily powerful ruling class in this country. That is my view. Many of my opponents do not hold that view, and they think that all that we need is people who are candidates who are black or white, who are black or Latino or woman or gay, regardless of what they stand for, that the end result is diversity.' He hastened to add that 'diversity is enormously important,' but there was a bigger goal: 'to change society and create an economy and a government that work for all people.'"

More Biden news, apparently he was paid $200k by groups including Fred Upton's family foundation to give a speech praising Fred Upton! which helped Republican Upton win re-election. oh what tangled webs we weave.

"The speaking contract for Mr. Biden’s October appearance in Michigan suggests that the popular Democrat would have known he was addressing a Republican-leaning crowd. The speaking series was underwritten in part by organizations connected to Mr. Upton’s family: Among the biggest sponsors listed on the Economic Club’s website are the Whirlpool Corporation, which was co-founded by Mr. Upton’s grandfather, and the Frederick S. Upton Foundation, a family charity named for the same man.

"The contract for Mr. Biden’s visit shows he was paid $200,000 for his appearance, including a $150,000 speaking fee and a $50,000 travel allowance. It also specifies that the audience would be 'primarily older, conservative Republicans and local community members.' The document was disclosed in response to a Freedom of Information request made by America Rising, a Republican group that conducts research on Democratic candidates.

Interesting news on Harris: she "slept her way to the top":

"Kamala Harris, that vaunted self-righteous feminist candidate who's using her 'year of the woman' chops to challenge President Trump in 2020, has a little problem: She slept her way to the top.

You know, the mistress thing, not exactly moving on up based on hard work or merit, that little advantage of good looks (President Obama called her the 'best-looking' state attorney general), employed to their optimal practical use. Her political patron, former lawyer to pimps, Mayor of San Francisco, and State Assembly Speaker Willie Brown, admitted he helped her get her political start, writing in his bloggy San Francisco Chronicle column:
