I'm marginally interested in seeing how a bigger Democratic primary cast plays out, since last time it was Hillary vs. Bernie vs. 2-3 completely irrelevant other guys that no one cared about. Having like 10 Democratic primary candidates might become interesting and might allow more good ideas to be presented and acknowledged. | ||

i think ultimately really going to shape up between kamala and warren/ sanders (if and when he likely declares). i don't think biden is going to get as much pull as the media/ polls think he is. there will be other good quality candidates like klobuchar, gillibrand and booker who may or may not run based on what they think their chances are. | ||

People thought that trump would Peter out as he made mistakes gabbard will fail because no one gives a shit in the first place. Unidentified female politician with no electoral advantage wants to run for president is something their friends are supposed to tell them not to do. I really thought that dems would have someone better then beto but at this point I really don't know. | ||

Warren Warren is dogshit. User was warned for this post | ||

Also a NYT report says the F.B.I was investigating on a counterintelligence front whether Trump was working on behalf of Russia soon after he fired Comey. Mueller took over the inquiry, but no one knows whether he is still pursuing it or not, and some F.B.I agents were questioning whether the investigation was overstepping. Worth noting it could be nothing and they concluded there was no threat, but a president being examined like this doesn't smell of normal. | ||

He came very close to beating Cruz, and that was a Texas election rather than a national election. His performance in the Texas election was actually extremely good for a Democrat. | ||

Or you can talk about how he almost won a seat in Texas, losing by the smallest difference since Democrats last won in 1988? | ||

I really think the Dems need something different. Maybe I'm too much of a Bernie-bro and he really is too old now but Dems need someone more out there than O'Rourke. More left-wing to get some of those disgruntled working class who are not yet mindcontrolled by the propaganda machine. Then again maybe I'm underestimating the hatred against anything too leftish in the US. | ||
