Election 2020

[BurtReynolds]

this is an amazing string of nonsense for almost a minute.

Interesting take. What I heard was, in order to defeat Trump we should put forth a candidate who isn't an extreme leftist pusing policies that will never pass in today's divisive environment. But you keep on Twitterin' Burt.

Yeah we all heard the moderator finally interrupt his stream of bullshit to help him finally get to the point.

[Superblood Wolfmoon]

It's funny because for all the supposed "free thinkers" on this board, all I see are people parroting sound bytes from their Twitter feeds. As long as it's not the "lamestream media" telling you what to think it's OK I guess?

[BurtReynolds]

Twitter is where our nation finds hope, where wings take dream.

[Superblood Wolfmoon]

Twitter is where smart people go to get dumber.

Did fox news tell you that?

i really dislike Butti now - a lot of weak dialogue and dirty tricks things lately

if you are going to go Corporatist/Moderate - at least go for Bloomberg, an accomplished Corporatist - and not Butti, a 8th-tier wannabe.

Consultants are basically high-end temp workers. That's a far cry from actually building and leading a corporation. Butti is employee-class. Bloomy is Chairman & CEO

I see that your boy got that coveted John cougar Melloncamp endorsement.

Still plenty of seats aboard this train. Bon Jovi probably already on board, just waiting to give Bernie a chance. Once Bruce falls in line, you know it's on.

This was an Onion headline just a week ago:

[Green Habit]

I knew we were overdue for a classic Biden gaffe.

[96583UP]

i mean, wow

from zero to 'dog faced' in less than 5 seconds

and now i have to google 'pony solder' to find out what that reference means (probably something related to WWI)

[96583UP]

from the internet

The Last of the Pony Soldiers <https://www.chuckhawks.com/last_pony_soldier.htm> claims "the term Pony Soldier was bestowed on members of the US Cavalry, who rode and fought in the Plains Indian wars of post Civil War history."

and

In the context, it seems to be an insult, which doesn't have to mean anything, just sound bad. The Daily Caller says “So, apparently Biden has used this ‘dog-faced pony soldier’ phrase before, but about Republicans. It’s allegedly from a film where an Indian chief tells John Wayne: ‘This is a lying dog-faced pony soldier,'” Weinberger tweeted, adding a query for verification. “However, haven’t been able to verify that line. Any John Wayne experts?

so basically he called this lady a gringo

i wonder if he started reaching for a butterfly knife

that would have really brought be back on board

[Jorge]

I'm sorry but "you're a lying dog-faced pony soldier" is absolutely fucking hysterical

[96583UP]

no, no need to apologize

and to think right now people are donating this person millions of dollars a month

Guys, it is getting easier by the day now that I've accepted that the democrats are going to lose. My anger went from being mad that Trump will be president again, to angry that the dems don't see the failure potential of their disorganization, to a lucid "zoning out". Four more years and then it will get better, as long as we survive the coronavirus.

There is a loooong way to go, guys. Let's not forget that in 2016, the economic metrics (good economy, low unemployment) were seen as a benefit to the incumbent party, and that the GOP was on its way to nominating someone who couldn't possibly win.

Democrats have a couple things going for them this time.

1. No one named Clinton in this race. Some of the candidates have been around a while, but none have been in the spotlight as long as she was, giving people 30 years to solidify their opinion.

2. "Younger people don't vote". Except that some of them do, and they age like everyone else, which means turnout increases each cycle. The 2018 midterm was the first national election where GenX + Millennial had a higher share of the vote than Boomers. This train only moves in one direction.

We've had two presidents in a row that seemed unlikely to win a year out. Lots of general election voters will take note of the primary winner in June, but won't really start paying attention until the end of summer.

Oh yeah, I'm sure black people are going to rally behind Mr Stop and Frisk.
