2020 Democratic Primary Thread: Focus on House & Senate races

[JMurder]

You really live on another planet if you think the average person is paying $500/mo or anything close to that for insurance as an employee of a company.

The family plan my job offers for health insurance is 450 a month. Most of us with families pay it

I didn’t say she ran on gender. You seem to dismiss the woke identity politics gestures she’s made a central part of her campaign as if they don’t exist, when not only do they exist but are a big turn off to a lot of voters and dare I say could possibly partially explained why she’s flopped so bad so far.

That time she painted herself in a corner with it.


"When you've got a mess and you really need it cleaned up...call a woman and get the job done"
Was probably the most sexist comment made by any candidate.. .

We all vote our interest, I don’t have these problems

[SunZoo]

Those are the rules he wanted.

He wanted to get rid of superdelegates all together, putting them on the second ballot was a compromise.

Its safe to say warren wants biden to win the nomination if she doesnt drop after tuesday

Warren voters aren't progressive though

Thank You! These inaurance companies are on borrowed time, so they pulling all the stops by buying reporters, politicians, and bots on social media. You really think that they can make the public forget about Medicare 4 All?

We have other options but we all agree that it's the best insurance for the money so we pay it. I would imagine people who work for higher paying jobs pay more for better insurance

Other insurance companies charge for individual chemo visits. If you low to middle class, that shyt will eat at your funds so it's really like "better hope you don't get cancer." It's all stupid when you consider that if everyone who made a living paid into a universal health care how much simpler shyt would be

Warren raised a lot of money. She's clearly staying in to allow those grassroots supporters an opportunity to follow up their donations with actual votes and make their voices heard.

That covers your entire family.

 

[JMurder]

That covers your entire family.

If I'm married yes

That ain't right, breh.

 

[King Sun]

Once your insurance company decides to raise it you will .

 

[Pressure]

That ain't right, breh.

Are you saying she didn't raise a lot of money?

Or are you saying the people who donated to her campaign don't deserve the right to vote for her?

The problem with "woke identity politics" pandering is when it's used to cover for a lack of substance. Talking about women's rights, black rights, LGBTQ rights, etc isn't pandering when it's being backed up with heavy substance. That's the ideal balance to strike. Otherwise, you're just saying you don't want to hear anything about the plight of marginalized people on some cac shyt

I agree it's a big turnoff to lot of voters, which is why Bernie is doing so well, he makes sure to always include white men in his rhetorical appeals and coalition of the downtrodden

No, I’m all for legitimately standing tall for the downtrodden both in policy and politics, but by woke identity politics gesturing I mean shyt like saying she’s going to wear a planned parenthood scarf to her inauguration and having a donor plant in the CNN audience ask a question about gay marriage just for her to mock people who are against gay marriage.

Abortion is a close to 50/50 issue in public opinion and while I’m pro choice, and I don’t think the half of the country or so that are pro life are all necessarily reprehensible people. Planned Parenthood, whatever your opinion on how they operate or what they do, are looked in a negative light by a large portion of voters (and I know there are a lot of misconceptions and conspiracies that abound about PP).

So I’m all for funding and supporting PP and appointing pro choice judges. But why the fukk would you wear a PP scarf to your inauguration where you’re supposed to be trying be a unifier, at least for one day as you take your oath of office? Why choose that event to say “fukk you pro lifers?” It’s not a good look.

And this bullshyt..



That guy was a campaign donor of hers. The whole thing was a work, was CNN in on it. And for what? Just to mock people who against gay marriage? How many people don’t have a parent or grandparent or someone who is uncomfortable with gay marriage? Not to mention progressives already won on gay marriage in the courts and public opinion.

There’s more examples of this stuff from her campaign, but you’re just going to dismiss it all.

I’ll let you tell why she’s getting washed in the primaries and is about to lose her home state though.
