2020 Democratic Primary Thread: Focus on House & Senate races

[OfTheCross]

a guy just left my job saying that he's looking to vote for Bloomberg.

I told him he's only saying that cause of all the commercials.

He acknowledged that may be true.

I told him I was for Bernie.

He thought Bernie was too old.


I told him ultimately I'm for anyone but Trump.

He said "damn right"

/anecdote over

Someone should put a trap beat on this

I know...I ain't even bother. Just hit him with the "common goal" response and kept it moving.

As long as he's voting Blue at the end it's all good.

 

[Kenny West]

Bloomberg is a year younger than Bernie

And trump is only 3 years younger bern

Lady at my church legit thought he was 90, as if trump or biden are that much younger just goes to show how far media narratives have gotten.

She's feeling the bern now

Lmao. Even fukking Trump could go on stage and call Bloomberg out on his racist policies and end him. As soon as he comes out from behind the curtain he’s through.

True. But my mom just told me today that she's worried Trump will win and that she's voting for whoever the Democrat is.

I mean yeah, my parents are essentially same too. They are going to vote for the Democratic nominee.

However, they want the "right" candidate to win. For them, they feel like only "a moderate" and "another old rich White guy" can beat Trump.

They feel as though America (i.e. White America) is not ready for a female President (Warren/Klobuchar), not ready for a gay President (Buttigieg) and they also don't want to vote for Buttigieg because he's gay, and they think that Bernie is "too old and too far to the left" to beat Trump.

It's really unprecedented what's happening here and Super Tuesday isn't here yet. Bloomberg is literally buying endorsements and bankrolling cable news.

"b-b-but his ad team is fire. he got under drumpf's skin"

I’m wondering where the bootlickers who were so concerned about Bernie’s tax returns are now

For those that don't know, we're getting the first batch of results at midnight. Dixville Notch season has returned

If Michael Bloomberg really spends a billy to buy his way into the race and outlast Elizabeth Warren y'all can have this country, it's not worth saving

Their student debt cancellation plan is a great example of this too. Bernie's is more expansive because he designed it to be universal. Liz's means-tested hers to maximize the reduction of the black-white wealth gap. Very interesting debate and insight into how the two view progressive politics. Bernie has a "rising tide lifts all ships" mentality whereas Liz believes unique harms need specific solutions.

Means testing typically slows down access to benefits, leads some who quality to not participate due to either stigma or bureaucratic hurdles, and can make the policy unnecessarily complicated to verbalize, campaign on, or pass.

Saying something is better purely because it is means tested is just technocratic-ly not the case.


The road to hell is paved with means-testing

What the Fight Over Means Testing Is Really About
