2020 Democratic Primary Thread: Focus on House & Senate races

[A.R.$]

That's a diverse, winning coalition right there for Bernie

I wish Warren Moon wasn’t Banned
I told him several times if Liz or Bernie win both Iowa and NH, it would eat into Biden Black support.

 

[New Jeruzalem Journalist]

To be honest I think a lot of the resentment of Warren is due to the fact she is just more competent than him. These progressives can't rationalize that so they just attack her. She's done more as a Senator than he has in substantially less time. Her work as a Lawyer/Professor is drastically more impressive than anything he's ever done. He beats her in rhetoric and symbolism though which is what the grifters like and what the grifters like get's propagated down to the listeners.

If you were being honest you would have stopped right there and not even bothered posting this.

Nobody honestly believes that there is even an imperceptible number of Bernie supporters who've attacked Warren because they're jealous of her competence and achievements juxtaposed to Bernie's. You don't even believe that, you're trolling for purely entertainment purposes with that post and you know it.

Bloomberg might pull this off.

if this many people waited to the last second to make up their mind in NH with no Bloomberg on the ballot, he might be the person to buy all the white voters in ST states.

You really gonna play dumb breh?

When she teamed up with bernie what her poll numbers look like? As she shifted to focusing on Bernie, she's tanked.

that's not what sank her, her releasing a detailed M4A plan did. attacks from moderates were expected, but it was quite telling to see how progressives Bernie-world progressives tore her down as well, Bernie also left her out on a limb there. so if she felt a lack of solidarity and moved to separate herself, that was the moment.

Google worker getting pressed after criticizing Bloomberg... wow

Is this dude legit? I'm getting capping and clout chasing vibes a bit...

 

[Miles Davis]

We always gonna be sold out by majority of black politicians and those with power, they know what side their bread buttered on

I need some polls for the next states feels like they’ve slowed down since Iowa.

 

[OnFleekTing]

The amount of black clout chasers selling out to bloomberg is sad although it is funny to watch them fight with Biden's coalition of brothers and sisters

 

[OfTheCross]

My dad was all Biden a couple weeks ago.

Didn't even know who Bernie was until I mentioned him.

I didn't even go into what Bernie was about that day.

Today he brought up the topic that Bernie won NH and seemed excited about the prospect of Bloomberg v. Bernie.

Those Bloomberg ads are working

 

[Regular_P]

Bloomberg moving like Hydra

Sounds like Norman from The Wire.

 

[No1]

there is plenty of critique about bernie, biggest one being his lack of productivity as a senator, especially compared to the other senators running. and he's

There isn’t a more productive senator than Sanders running unless you’re talking about Joe Biden. Amy and Bernie came into the Senate together so unless you’re talking about the times she worked with Republicans to do right wing shyt, that’s not really a thing.

 

[R. Money]

Sanders is the frontrunner and he's running away with it.

This is what happens when one party collapses.

Never Trumpers and ex-Republicans are crossing over to beat Trump.

Never Trump Republicans will not vote Bernie. He's too far left.

Quick to back down

Guessing they found out the members weren’t happy with the shyt they’re trying to pull with Neera

has bernie posted an explanation of what happens to the hundreds of thousands of workers who work at health insurance companies?

just from a pure impact standpoint, i wouldnt piss on an insurance company if it was on fire. but they're gonna hammer him on that too

Is there the same concern for workers in the petroleum industry who would be shafted by the Green New Deal? Or big shots in finance who would be shafted by more strict financial regulations?

But it is a valid question.

1. Health insurance only comprises part of the overall insurance industry. There's casualty, property, life, annuity, specialized insurance products and companies. Some of the talent will be absorbed into other subsectors. Insurance is closely tied with banking, finance... So there'll be a migration towards those sectors as well. Lawyers, HR, actuaries, programmers... Their skills are easily transferrable to other non related sectors. This is unlike eliminating coal, where you need to actively intervene and retrain coal diggers.

2. The government will need experts to administer it's M4A if it ever passes. There will be a huge demand for insurance savvy people at the federal and state levels.

3. I would be lying if I said that all impacted workers in the health insurance industry would end up with jobs elsewhere. There will be some structural unemployment here. As a president, do you protect their jobs to the detriment of the country, or do you gamble that the net economic boost from M4A more than covers for the jobs that are lost?

I don't have the answers... Just riffing here. My hunch is that they'll be fine for the most part.
