2020 Democratic Primary Thread: Focus on House & Senate races

[the cac mamba]

Bernie has already stated he wants a strong progressive as VP. Pulling Amy or Warren from the Senate, especially when they aren't exactly politically aligned with him is stupid.

.

i strongly disagree with him doing that. but that's a great point about not taking amy or warren from the senate

younger, moderate woman from the midwest or the south is clearly what he needs

I live in NY that is not middle class and you gotta be privileged to think it is , yeah it doesn’t go as far as it does in the middle of country but it IS NOT middle class, imagine me feeling bad that someone making 250k might have to give up 1 of 5 vacations so a person doesn’t die from lack of healthcare , that’s a clown argument

you really should be a republican you have their selfish ass ideology

Maybe in Western NY or Upstate it is upper middle class or "wealthy" but not in the city. A large chunk is going to taxes, insurance, mortgage/rent, school/childcare, they got rid of SALT and the middle class is struggling and you just wave it away because it doesn't effect you and I'm the one with a selfish ideology? I can assure you I'm not going on five "vacations" are year? Happy?

Find another funding mechanism that's all I'm saying. What happened to the corporations and wall street will pay? Why does Bernie suck at projecting his policy goals and sharing them with more than vague assertions?

 

[the cac mamba]

I’m shaming him because it’s a stupid argument. He’s crying about a supposed 5k

great strategy for november demand other people feel obligated to kick in. how could we ever see the entire middle class not get on board with that?

should pay off great for bernie, there's definitely nothing there for republicans to attack or make simple campaign ads out of

Any predictions for the Virginia Primary on March 3?

I haven’t seen any signs here. People I guess sort of assumed it would be done by March.

This is the type of intellectually dishonest shyt that makes people just not even wanna deal with politics. You can’t just literally ignore the rest of the post. Argue in good faith or shut the fukk up

Why???????????

Ya'll keep trying to bleed this back into corperate politics as usual, like Trump didn't go and pick someone who people go @ the thought of removing him from office only to let Pence be president. That's exactly what Bernie needs, someone who in the eyes of his opps is just as bad or worse.

He does NOT need a moderate, because this is bigger than this election cycle or even a Sanders one-term presidency, he needs someone that is going to keep his movement in tact, a moderate is not going to do that. nor is it going to move the needle when it comes to Bernie vs. Trump/Pence. If they aren't someone who could be passed the torch of the progressive movement they don't need to be on the ticket, period. Getting him into office is not enough, it's never been about HIM or his political legacy like that.

250K is NOT middle class

 

[Json]

Warren is, she stay bigger her up while jabbing at her 'friend' despite the fact that she's eating into her base far more than he is.

Unless you are unliked like Tulsi or Hillary attacking another Dem woman is a no go for the feminist wing.

You don’t know what middle class is and you’re exposing yourself with this argument, I’m not saying 250k is wealthy or even rich but it’s not middle class. I don’t know what to tell you , no I live in BK not no upstate . Plenty of those people making 250k wouldn’t be struggling if they lived within their means but when people make more they spend more especially in consumer culture. That’s why those people think they’re struggling making that

If you want to pretend it's a household income of 50k that's on you. This is part of the problem.

They're even worse on social media, a lot of Bernie's media supporter have been flat out slandering Liz for the past 5 months. Honestly its fukking digusting regardless of if it's not how he feel he should have been stepped in.

Y’all nikkas soft

everyone is talking shyt on Twitter and other social media

to act like it’s ONLY Bernie supporters is nonsense.

All y’all being soft. I’ve seen blatant trash talk on bernies name for months

not to mention hoe ass cnn/msnbc contributors, analysts, pundits, hosts who are pretty much 100% Clinton surrogates throw shyt at him since he announced. nikka, they have DNC staffers that HATE this nikka but u wanna talk about ppl crying bc of words on twitter. Soft as baby shyt

CNN literally had a debate last month and it was anti Bernie as hell. Just blatant shyt.

But we are mean when we use twitter fingers and come at some random rich a$$hole. This is the worst thing that has happened to them.

anyone talking about how mean nikkas are on social media sounds like a troubled preteen.

comfortable nikkas (moderates) turn republican REAL quick when they have to pay more in taxes to help minorities and poor ppl. fukk outta here

I think in NY it’s like 75k , you’re the one pretending dude or just ignorant of what middle class is

See where identity politics becomes a weapon..

But if that's the case, she should have been hitting Biden, I mean he said the same shyt publicly that she accused Bernie of in a private conversation. He seems to be the only one she's throwing direct shots at despite being a 'progressive' that has more inroads to snatch up moderates from Biden, Bootjuice and Klobberjaw, she's making little to no effort in that direction though, I wonder why.

 

[OnFleekTing]

Amy Klob comes off as a lot more likeable than Warren and that's down to optics
The stories about her abusing her aids would have been enough to sink any other female but she was at the bottom for so long people thought she was irrelevant.
In any case Klob and Buttigieg are gonna have to pander to blacks and latinos if they want to win in Nevada and SC
Biden should do good but they might not finish strong enough to keep the donors happy
Or best case scenario Bernie does really good in Nevada and SC and the establishment starts pressuring all of them to drop out and coalesce behind whoever. You are gonna really see the egos hop out then
