    Serious 2020 Democratic Primary Thread

    And it's not just Obama, how about contrasting the Republican Party's reaction to Castro's death with almost every other country in the world? People are just asking for some nuance. Even that article admits that these statements from Sanders, the candidate with the strongest LGBT record in the...

    I simply posted Krystal Ball's video because it was the most recent thing I saw that had a clip of Warren's speech post SC where she attacked Sanders. I deliberately set the time of that video to 2:10 so that would be the first thing you see, but instead of acknowledging that my point is correct...

    I am sorry but where is your evidence of this? How about listening to what she is actually saying about Bernie right now instead of putting your blinders on: If what you say is true, then why does she continue to throw dishonest attacks like this one at Bernie? Imagine blaming him for failing...

    Will you acknowledge that Warren has no path to the nomination and that she is only still the race at this point to prevent Sanders from getting a majority of the pledged delegates? If she is lucky she'll win Massachusetts and come in a very distant 2nd in California, she has no chance of...

    The media purposely televised his campaign rallies to instill fear in their viewers, and they especially emphasized the violent behavior of his supporters at these events. The coverage certainly helped him, but that was more along the lines of their bias backfiring rather than a genuine attempt...

    Favorable media treatment? What planet are you living on? The media was overwhelmingly negative to Trump. I guess you don't remember the "grab 'em by the pussy" leaks that came out that were being constantly being played on the airwaves. I would be very worried if Bernie did accept that...

    That money does not come with no strings attached. There is a very good reason Biden and Buttigieg in particular have so many billionaire donors, it's because they promise to be status quo candidates. If you are reliant on the 1% to fund your campaign, nobody should expect you to be seriously...

    Then why are the other candidates taking corporate money? As they say, talk is cheap, actions speak louder than words.

    But Clinton was against free public college tuition, medicare for all, a carbon tax, and was for every regime change war and the wall street bailout. You disingenuously try to paint them as being ideologically similar just based on a metric that has little meaning as this small list of issues...

    Ok I was trying to be nice but I take many issues with this reply: Of course, this whole incident is a "he said she said" thing, but you are leaving out a lot of context. First of all, don't act like Warren was the victim here. All the corporate media outlets OVERWHELMINGLY took Warren's side...

    Well said RODAN . I'll go ahead and give my own perspective on this which is far lengthier. First, regarding the current narratives you see in corporate media about Sanders supporters, Mike Figuerdo made an excellent video about this subject just recently: To summarize, the idea that Sanders...

    You are making an apples to oranges comparison. I would argue that the party had started its rightward move at least since the death of JFK, but really accelerated in the 80's and 90's culminating into the election of Bill Clinton. Carter may have been to the right of his opponents but he would...

    The point I was trying to make was that the democratic party has moved considerably further to the right since the 1980's. Whether or not some context is missing, I view this video as a Freudian slip by then president Obama who had won an election with historic voter turnout by campaigning as a...

    And this is coming from the guy I am sure most people would consider to be to the left of Biden.

    Yet you are unfairly assuming that (1) Tulsi Gabbard is my candidate of choice (she's not, I still much prefer Sanders but like her more strong anti-war foreign policy) and (2) I don't know the more negative parts of her record. I most certainly do and there are some other issues that article...

    Do you have the hard evidence to back that up? Or is this just your own intuition based on worth of mouth from your DC insider friends? Assuming the nominee is Biden or Sanders, are you honestly worried that his age will be the decisive factor for voters picking between either them or Trump, who...

    So instead of engaging in an honest debate over which candidates do you think have the best policy positions for the American people, you're trying to convince us that Bernie Sanders is a misogynist with a straight face because of some dumb essay he wrote nearly 50 years ago? Did you apply this...

    Since I am the type of guy who prefers to be blunt when the situation calls for it, let me ask a simple question: Who gives a fuck? I really don't understand how age alone should ever disqualify someone from the presidency. It's something that came up a lot in 2016 to discredit Bernie Sanders...

    Ok, OP's post is full of so much hyperbole and lack of understanding of progressive politics that I just had to bite. Kamala Harris's record is anything but "progressive". It is evident that you don't really understand the term. I am sure Harris suffers plenty of attacks that are not fair as...
