Election 2020

[McParadigm]

Who could have ever dreamed that an inept egotist with money winning the presidency would encourage other rich egotists to publicly dry hump their fantasies of world stage power?

[BurtReynolds]

oh no the Red Menace is coming for Joe!

i just wish Beto weren't so stupid

he is tall, he knows how to trick billionaire women into doing him

so he's got the basic toolkit

he just doesn't have enough upstairs

[BurtReynolds]

Remember when he was the rockstar of politics?

[epilogue]

Beto could still be a rockstar on the Senate stage. I'd love to see the guy drop out of the big race and run for a seat again. He's much more suited and far more valuable there.

[McParadigm]

[epilogue]

Wait, are you saying that she IS considering a 3rd party run? That's impossible!

[BurtReynolds]

Beto could still be a rockstar on the Senate stage. I'd love to see the guy drop out of the big race and run for a seat again. He's much more suited and far more valuable there.

A senate run wouldn't make him look like any less of a dork.

[verb_to_trust]

If she is truly considering a third party run she is either a total moron or compromised. One or the other.

[Norah]

It's entirely possible to be both.

[BurtReynolds]

It's also entirely possible to be neither. Its not like she has a future in the Dem party short of a successful revolt within the party by the Sanders types.

[Simple Torture]

burt rn:

[verb_to_trust]

She would be handing the election to Trump.

[BurtReynolds]

burt rn:

Imagine voting for Elizabeth Warren over this

[BurtReynolds]

She would be handing the election to Trump.

People who say shit like this are spineless bootlickers.

[verb_to_trust]

Okay I'm in

[BurtReynolds]

Okay I'm in

Physical attractiveness is the only valid metric.

Random thoughts while walking the mongrel:

Does a centrist 3rd party candidate make sense? It seems that centrist voters are generally pragmatic, so "wasting" their vote on a third party candidate would be very un-centrist. All these centrist billionaire candidates are just wasting their money.

Is Gabbard a centrist?

At this point I wouldn't be surprised if she siphoned off more Trump votes then dem ones. Her positions besides her Syria stance aren't different from the mainstream democrat platform, so there is little reason for a democrat to vote for her as a third party, but she might make for an attractive candidate for never-trumpers. Conservatives who are rethinking universal healthcare or who are very anti- interventionist might even view her as a tolerable choice.

If she ran against a dem Sanders, that would not only be suicide, but she'd definitely be a Republican plant at that point. Otherwise, no.

Would the Green party take her? She doesn't seem like someone the Greens would be interested in, but then again I can't think of a reason to think this. She doesn't seem like a radical socialist.

Like never-trumpers never voting for Trump, there will be an element on the left that will not vote for a mainstream dem candidate under any circumstances, and they will not be a lost vote. Blaming another lost election on them will be bullshit, I don't care how the numbers add up.

i think she just wants a book deal and to be a fox news pundit
