2020 Democratic Primary Thread: Focus on House & Senate races

I hope Bloomberg makes it onto the debate stage. I think absolutely everyone will be coming for his head.
My take is and always has been that this is a center left country and the dems are still a center left party.
The fact that you can't win the presidency without younger more progressive voters doesn't change that. Particularly because the same can be said about any major block of dem voters.
But ultimately I think we agree on this.
He did. That's why I often group him with Manchin. I think they operate the same overall spectrum despite being more liberal and conservative in different areas. For example, the environment and gun control.
I think that Sanders is a good and crafty politicians who has been doing this his entire life. It is sad to me that he doesn't have a larger coalition with a group he's caucused with for 3 decades. Maybe it's because he isn't interested. Maybe it's because it's not in his repertoire, but I think it's a big deal.
At far as bloomberg, I was wrong and thought he was still a dem when he was mayor. But his policies pretty much say to me that he's a billionaire who has a few pet projects but still ultimately holds negative views of minorities and the poor. Still, he'd fall in line with moderate dems because he craves power just like Trump.
Bakari is a clown. That person he’s complaining about doesn't exist. Kamala’s people are so fukking embarrassing sometimes.

People don’t follow politics closely. At the end of the day, people vote according to interest and who is around them. Sanders lost voters making over 100k in NH. All of his black organizers are trying to organize working class black people. I wouldn’t expect it to trickle into most of our circles. I would say anecdotally that the black men in my circle like Bernie more than the black women do. It was that way with Hillary as well. People 25 and under like him a lot though.today's reality check (based on groupchat convo):
not scientific or representative, just a slice of a few convos this week
- coli (twitter) has a mypoic view of how much people are engaged in this process
- the IA/NH "momentum" is really dangerous (and continually infuriating to me) - we need to reform the primary process to get rid of group think - then add...
- so many undecideds - this convo, and a convo with the parents both coincided with people simply wanting/willing to vote for "whoever can beat trump"
- @No1, i know we always admit how small a group it is, but in a chat of 13 "well educated" black chicks, not a bernie supporter among them - just like last week, the appeal of the middle is real
- the "i'd pay to see bloomberg tear trump apart" comment made me
a couple of them - NY born & raised & current resident at that, but reinforced the offline "appeal" of bloomberg as a real threat. and opened my mind to the fact that even black voters may be swayed by the momentum of candidates (amy, pete, bloom) who are being torn apart online for being bad on black issues. it hasn't hit the less engaged yet, and if/when it does, will it matter?

lol@you thinking never Trumper Republicans are an actual species that exists in the wild outside of MSNBC.
This thread sums up Warren’s online campaign right now so much lmao. I’m cracking the fukk up. Whole thread is great
Amusing that the coli brehs here who support her tout her like she’s got this huge black following when everyone else on the planet see her supporters as fake progressive bougie white moms
WELL, WELL WELL...
Anybody that knows anything about politics including Bernie himself knows this is the most likely scenario. Only his most delusional supporters don’t understand this. But just like I criticized Warren for making this public, I have to do the same with AOC. I don’t get why she would say this out load.

lol how do they not know this will backfire? These people really insult the intelligence of democratic voter base.
Even if you're a casual, you can look at Bernie talk for 30 seconds and see he's nothing at all like Trump.
