Author | Topic: The 2020 Democratic Presidential Nomination Campaign | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

From this morning's New York Times:
The 2020 Race Is Testing Progressives’ Power. They’re Pushing Back. The article describes the excitement of the progressive wing of the Democratic party as they have won important elections and have swung the conversation to the left and their frustration that Biden's campaign threatens to yank it back to the "Center". Some thoughts I have about the Democratic nomination:

All of the current top 15 Democratic candidates are better than Trump, so let's not trip on not having a perfect candidate an instead elect a better candidate.

Exactly. All of the current top 15 Democratic candidates are better than Trump, so let's not trip on not having a perfect candidate an instead elect a better candidate. I'm have trouble thinking of anyone who would not be better than Trump. The only ones are already dictators, oh well, and also all the idiots who support Trump.

If I were to think of the one politician who is just above the Trump line I would probably pick Pence, ironically enough.

I am inherently compelled to support Warren because she address the 'how'.
Apparently, at least in my life of 61 years, this only happens a very few times a century. All others are slingin' bullshit, until they address the 'how.'Read not to contradict and confute, not to believe and take for granted, not to find talk and discourse, but to weigh and consider. - Francis Bacon

AZPaul writes: Right now I feel more affection for Pocahontas and Beto than the rest but all that can change. Beto is just another jerk off clueless white dude who thinks millennials remember JFK. I might consider Beto once he 'actually' discovers and has a plan, including an inhospitable environment and income inequality, which nearly all the white men running refuse to even discuss (except Bernie). The daughter and I obviously supported O'Rourke against Cruz when we lived in hell (aka Texas), but he needs to conquer his own cowardice before he should try to conquer the nation. At this moment, he is what Holden Caufield referred to as phony. Perhaps he just has the right heart but needs some lessons on how to win elections from Kamala Harris.

Hey! Stop with the racism. Us jerk off clueless white dudes who actually do remember JFK take exception to our characterization.
What you got on Jay Inslee. I haven't seen him but a Colorado friend told me the folks in Colorado either hate him or love him and all for the same reason. He's a flaming liberal with a rather pragmatic approach.Eschew obfuscation. Habituate elucidation.

I thought Inslee is the governor Washington. He's full on climate change candidate.

Hickenlooper is the Governor of Colorado. Fairly rightest for a Democrat. He has the Obama and Biden curse of thinking the GOP will see the light and work with them for the betterment of society as a whole. Write him off.
He uses "Socialism" as a fear word. There is no place for that in the Democratic Party. We need strong progressives not afraid of socialism for all not just the rich and corporations. Hickenlooper booed at California Democratic Convention for decrying socialism: 'Read the room' - Alternet.org stick a fork in him. He is done. Not just as a Presidential candidate but anywhere in the Democratic Party. Facts don't lie or have an agenda. Facts are just facts "God did it" is not an argument. It is an excuse for intellectual laziness. If your viewpoint has merits and facts to back it up why would you have to lie?
