2020 Democratic Primary Thread: Focus on House & Senate races

[FAH1223]

I realize this is the primary but doesn't it seem like a lot of campaigns just tried to wing it? I guess the nominee will get an infusion of money but isn't your ground game in the primary a good indication of your setup in the general?

This is why a Biden candidacy always worried me

Pete would not give an emotional and sincere answer like this.

Right after that a pete supporter said he was now voting for biden

Easily his best moment of the campaign. Possibly of his campaigning career

 

[Armchair Militant]

Wow

Yikes. That was a good read. Even with a SC win, he’s in bad shape. Bernie and Bloomberg are killing his campaign with money and ground game.

You should forced to take some type of free financial literacy class before accepting student loans.

Cancel student loan debt and make public college free to the PhD level for everyone.

And shoot yourself with an AK 47. Humanity doesnt need anymore crabs such as yourself.

he is incapable

I ain't no damn Republican , Can you or him please explain to me why someone is taking out 300k worth or loans you can't afford . Like what in the fukk goes through your mind to do some shyt like that. I hope him and his wife are doctors and went to Harvard or yale

When all the high paying factory jobs been outsourced to China for cheap labor, and the service economy has limited amount of high paying jobs available, people are forced to take loans to pay for these greedy institutions called schools.

Ok you right

I see marching order have been sent out on this one

If they want to play this game, let's do it. Warren should hang around in case this nikka has another health scare, otherwise we're stuck with Bloomberg.

I mean, that’s the purpose of Biden, his original appeal, let’s just get back normal. It’s also why I don’t mind him, he’s a stop gap

A stop-gap for what though? It would be nice to get things back to 'normal' sure but that also means we're kinda going back to square one and it's unlikely that the Dems will be able to hold on to the presidency for more than 4-8 years so it's crucial to have some big ideas and see through some of those big ideas..

That said.. if it's Biden as the nominee I'm obviously showing up and voting for him over Trump that's a no brainer. The only person that would have me voting down ballot only is Bloomberg. I'm not voting for his ass period.

I don't think people are afraid of Bernie or Liz's agenda.

The fear is that they would be more likely than a moderate to lose to Trump. Whether that's true or not is a different story but it's the perception for some.

I was in that camp.. for a long time I felt Biden was the only guy who could defeat Trump in the general, however, I'm starting to see some patterns with Bernie that mirror Trump's 2016..

A lot of people are energized for Bernie and there's a lot of silent voters out there, mainly white rural people who would vote for Bernie but not tell anyone they are a Bernie supporter.

shyt, some of those people might have even voted Trump in '16

Cows been outta the barn on that. Buckle in for the next few months.

He card read good.

A huge part of the problem is for profit schools. The students on average borrow more while accounting for the majority of defaults.

They are predatory in nature, targeting minorities, low income, first generation college students, and ex-military. These are people that don’t have anyone to guide them. They get targeted by people pretending to have their best interest at heart, but all they care about is getting the loan signed.

The Obama admin was taking steps to kill the worst offenders, but Trump and Betsy Devos are doing their best to revive the industry.

Facts. Obama addressed for profit colleges his first year as president. It is not surprising that Trump is reversing the progress Obama made. Trump himself ran a for profit scam real estate school.

MSNBC Drawing up anything to keep Biden alive:

15 minute segment on Clyburns endorsement on the last word as if it was a surprise

Morning Joe basically telling everyone to get out an endorse Biden.

Edit: Just change the name to Morning Biden today

 

[Robbie3000]

nah I don't think either billionaire is a good candidate. I like Steyer way more than Bloomberg tho. Bloomberg is atrocious...

All I care about is beating Trump. Going into this I thought Biden was the best shot at that, with maybe Warren being second. No one else seemed viable to me, although Kamala is a good politician and seemed like someone who could strike gold under the right circumstances (spoiler alert: it didn't happen lmao).

You thought Kamala was going to win? And we are supposed to listen to your opinion of Bernie Sanders chances?
