2019-2020 US Elections Megathread I- It Begins

[Cannot think of a name]

Too many 'theys' in this for me to take it seriously, to be honest.

I mean this is basically what Myrensis did all year in 2016, so it's not a surprise.

Not paying attention to who writes what has its ups and downs.

You might have noticed I was responding to a post about how ebil establishment Democrats chose monstrous racist KKK lover Hillary over heroic champion of civil rights Bernie.

Was just pointing out that maybe one of the reasons black voters still overwhelmingly voted for Hillary, in spite of her enduring love for all things KKK, is because Bernie's claim to civil rights fame was protesting in college 60 years ago, then promptly moving to and spending the rest of his life in a state where he'd have to make a special effort to find two black people in the same place.

And this diminishes anything why?

[Pasong Tirad]

Yeah, he's running.

It doesn't say that anywhere on that post. The closet he gets is:

In the richest country in the history of the world, here are some (far from all) of the issues that I will be focusing on this year. What do you think? How can we best work together?

Which is his job.. you know, as a Senator.

Nah, he's running. He's been gearing up to run since last year.

Cool story, we'll see if that theory is correct. I think he'd be a strong vice candidate to back someone else vs running as the main again.

He's in a unique position to handpick a torch bearer.

His endorsement would mean the world to anyone his base might already like.

[The Derpy Democratic Republic Of Herp]

Yeah, he's running.

Thats my man!

Feel the Bern!

[Corrian]

This is better

Eh, it's ok.

But I like other one better. More energy.

Presumably it diminishes Sanders claim to be different when he, for whatever reasons, supported the same legislation Clinton supported. But do please get back to us on how you hate politicians and all politicians are shitty except for the ones that you yourself deem real, no?

At least you only whatabout in one direction

I'm referring to the state thing...

[The Derpy Democratic Republic Of Herp]

Once talk of reforming the confederacy started, we needed to turn down to Georgia to set fire to it again.

But seriously:
Getting back on track, any centrist who has sanity 2020.

A bunch of Dems who are going to pander to the progressive base and Trump.

Nope.

It need not be Dems, center Republicans would be ok too.

But centerists would be only passable, now that Bernie is in again, I'm going all the way with him.

Bernie thought blacks sold the most drugs he’s racist don’t nominate him. Nominate a real progressive who will campaign on slavery reparations.

I don't care about that throw away comment.

Bernie 2020. Make The Nightmare End.

You've been saying the same broken record message since you first started posting here.

It’s important to make sure the Democratic Party nominates someone who will fight the racist system in our country. They should make it loud and clear in their campaign.

No. Thats IDPOL.

Everyone is sick to death of IDPOL.

[Dresderstan]

I will say this; if there was one Democrat I would potentially vote for in the election, it'd probably be Joe Biden.

Yeah, and the state thing is less about racism in any direction than it is about the fact that the population of Vermont doesn't incentivize Sanders to spend political capital on racial issues or really social issues of any kind. And he doesn't. Perhaps it's accordingly, or perhaps he should have a record pushing those things. Yes, he says the right things about them, but he's never put any effort into forcing those legal changes

I will note again the fact that you don't attempt to defend politicians, other than Bernie Sanders, from their own records and yet decry all of politics loudly

So, just ignore the racism? If the Democratic nominee wants to really be progressive, they need to pit social justice issues at the helm of their campaign.

They don't need to pit social justice issues at the helm of their campaign.

They need to stop that crap and make this a better America.

Everyone is tired of that stuff. Lets just let the IDPOL die and move on.

This I agree with.

He's clearly just saying this same old, tired line to get a rise out of people. Just ignore it and move on cause he's not posting in good faith anymore.

This feels too close to "You know what the real problem is? People who keep noticing there's a problem..."

[Infected Mushroom]

He's a great president because he shows that the American Dream is real. Anyone can become a president (even if one is a populist businessman with politically incorrect views and more of a television personality); intelligence is no barrier. You can be somewhat of a moron and still make it.

I'd like the hammer the message home by getting him re-elected again. He demonstrates the greatness of the US political system and the potential of democracy.

If anything, he shows that democracy is stupid and overrated.

Indeed
