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

oh geez

 

Honestly, our incessant desire to want "relatable people" to manage the world's largest bureaucracy and command the world's most powerful military is only one part of many reasons why US hegemony will eventually faulter.

Yes, I want intelligent nuanced people to hold a position that manages the world's largest bureaucracy and commands the world's most powerful military.

 

How did a centrist fair last election? I mean we agree that Hillary was a centrist right?

 

You actually didn't answer my question. How did having a centrist fair for Democrats last election?

Also, the last 4 years has many Americans yearning for a President who can form coherent sentences and express policy positions in detail.

 

What part are you "oh geez"ing?

Their protest, or her bandwagoning it?

 

I added another part to my post but I'll restate it by asking you.

Do you think after four years of Trump, many Americans care more about having a president who can form coherent thoughts and express policies in nuanced detail rather than being "relatable"?

And I don't understand how Trump supporters believe that Trump, a man who nutted out of a 413 million dollar penis, is relatable. His diction is probably relatable to a high school drop out but I higher opinions of the average American.

 

all of the above, to be honest with you

 

If I believe what is happening with the camps is immoral, then I think it's pretty much expected that I would not want to profit off of it.

 

Which part of the premise? It's already objectively proven that Trump's word choice is at a 4th grade reading level. He also never delves into nuance and just spews platitudes. He's also a wanderer. Hell spend 5 minutes jumping around to 10 different subject matters and not really say anything of value. He's notorious for going on long rants without saying much substantively.

Do you think many Americans aren't yearning for a president who's IQ isn't questioned to be on the left side of a normal distribution throughout the globe?

 

I think this is right. Some of the field could moderate themselves and get into Biden's lane, but I don't see any candidate's effort to do so. Though to be be fair, they might do it in Iowa and I might not see it. But, if no one can do it at the national level aside from Biden, while multiple candidates can get eyeballs on more leftist ideas, can a moderate really catch up fast enough?

That sounds like terrible advice. When she tries to be relatable, she flops, like her beer in the kitchen candidacy announcement. She needs to be herself, a northeast liberal elitist who wants to use the power of big brother to make policy to help the working and middle class. I don't like all her ideas, but I like her best when she's being the policy wonk, not when she's pretending to be a regular guy.

 

Ya, Warren can have some cringy moments when she tries to be hokey.

 

I think that's the wrong way to look at it (not picking on you, just saying). I also think that kind of position is what flows inevitably out of the spinning of the detention centers as "concentration camps." Unless one is truly for a 100% open borders policy--and I don't think anyone is--then migrants at the border need to be temporarily housed in some fashion. It's hard to house people without beds (or food). To say that anyone selling either beds or food to entities managing the centers (in this case a not-for-profit Baptist charity I believe) is "profiting" off of an injustice is perhaps accurate in one very small sense, but in a broader, far more significant sense is simply adding more insult to injury for the vast numbers of people at the receiving end who very desperately need these items NOW.

 

Why do you go out of your way to create a narrative.
