2019-2020 US Elections Megathread I- It Begins

[Ifreann]

Mayor no one has ever heard of to run for President

Buttigieg (pronounced “boot-edge-edge”)

I guarantee that no one will pronounce it like that.

[Valrifell]

It's either a democrat now or keep on the track of polarization, alienation, and radicalization of America's youth and AOC in 2024.

The choice is yours, Republicans. Which evil would you like in the short-term?

She’s never going to get elected ya know. The DNC is gonna squash her re-election like a bug

I don't see why they would. She's good publicity for the base.

The right in America are pushing a narrative, clearly with some success, that there is great animosity between AOC and Pelosi/the DNC, that the Democratic establishment hates AOC for not "playing the game". Divide et impera and all that.

It's always interesting when people insist that someone holding elected office is unelectable.

Elected with DNC support on the local level =/= elected at the National level. Remember this is the nation that thinks socialism means government doing things.

I am state-sanctioned to smack you on the hand for that statement.

State wide elections are not necessarily a great indication on General elections. What gets someone elected jn California is not necessarily getting someone elected in Ohio or Florida.

Sure, but Therm was talking about her getting re-elected in New York.

And I’m pretty that they will. She unseated a high ranking democrat. After what they pulled in 2016 in not putting it past them to run a primary candidate against her.

AOC beat the party favourite in the primary, and did it solely with local support. But sure, now that she's in the news every day winning them more support the DNC will unleash their full might and destroy her.

Oh please it’s not a “right wing narrative” it’s the DNC is run by a bunch of shady crooks. Look what they did to sanders. Do you seriously think they aren’t going to drown her re-election campaign?

Not exactly so sure that she’s winning them the support or if it’s Trump. And still the DNC is quite right leaning they don’t really like the whole free Medicare for all.

The DNC didn’t do anything about the race because it has a bad habit of thinking that elections are guaranteed wins. That a primary campaign wasn’t going to happen. They don’t forget such things.

Nothing? Oh how evil.

I don't think they are, no. I think they'll recognise that backing her is the right choice.

The DNC simultaneously assumes that their preferred candidate will easily win any primary contest, and never forgets when their preferred candidate loses a primary contest. Fascinating.

Typical. You’re just going to ignore the entire scandal that led to several people resigning in the DNC because it conflicts with your narrative. Debbie Wasserman Schultz remember her? She was the DNC chair in 2016 who resigned of a scandal that the DNC tried to sabotage the sanders campaign
But sure the DNC would never attempt to destroy someone’s campaign out of spite

Hahahahaha hahahahaha hahahahaha hahahah
They fucking won’t. She took out one of their own. They don’t let that down.

It's all right, Therm. Most people have forgotten that this is why we have the whole Russia mess.

[Trumptonium1]

Trump's opposition is:

- A woman who is drunk before she touches a beer, that nobody really likes except out of pity
- A discount Hillary Clinton from New York
- Latino guy who looks like Joker without makeup who spend 3 years claiming a wage for a job he made less impact in than this guy
- Random WV plebeian cupcake who will lose the nomination for being a white male anyway
- Random MD plebeian cupcake who is far too moderate and white and male for Dems

I'd say Trump could shoot someone on Fifth Avenue and can walk through this election blindfolded and still win.

That random West Virginian “plebeian cupcake” is anything but and he’s done more than your sorry self

I'm sorry but here in the civilised part of Earth known as Europe we do not see the mere participation in the Armed Forces as a ticket to permanent respect at the behest of society despite actions or views one may spout, and hence your post makes little sense and makes as much sense as saying "because God exists," thus you ought to find yourself a better reasoning.

I think Republicans prefer the latter. The amount of white youth that will get radicalised by the events like Covington last week where they are seen as criminals because of their skin colour while standing in public means America is heading for an interesting time period.

Let's not pretend any white kid in Covington isn't going to be a permanent right-wing nationalist Republican right now.

Yep. Polish-born, lives in Britain.

By that threshold the only civilised country is Switzerland since they're the only one that doesn't get voted down, can form a government and doesn't have yearly shutdowns.

Well something like 25% of my posts are in the UK politics thread which is a good indicator. Unless you're talking about Brexit, but then again, leaving the EU doesn't mean leaving Europe. If anything it means joining it.

They supported one candidate over the other, therefore they'll definitely do every evil thing you can imagine them doing. Seems legit.

They're politicians. They'll do what they think will get them the power to advance their agenda.

I know it's simpler to believe that they're just baddies who'll do bad things every time because they're baddies and baddies gotta bad, but this isn't really how the real world works.

They always hold grudges over losing primaries, but also always assume they'll win every primary, because they've forgotten all the grudges that they never forget.

They go to an all-boys Catholic school in Kentucky, my dude, they were guaranteed GOP voters from the outset. And they wore MAGA hats on a field trip to a pro-life march, in case you forgot.

...And your point is?
Most of the greatest European achievements in history have been "attacking other people and stealing their stuff".
