Who will run in 2020?

“Gray New Deal” perfectly exemplifies my impression of Pete’s campaign rn

He really doesn’t get it.

Missed the O’Malley stuff before. Fun fact: Lis Smith worked on his campaign. Lis Smith is Pete’s comms director and the one responsible for getting him on every media outlet you can think of.

One wonders why she wasn’t given that amount of responsibility on O’Malley’s campaign, and if she had, if things would have been different.

Lis Smith is one of the most reprehensible operators in politics. Disgusting what she did for Cuomo vs. Nixon.

Thank goodness another private equity douche from Bain Capital is here to save us from the evils of universal healthcare.

But he’s black Black BLACK!

He’s really gonna bring out all the Republican talking points hits!

I don’t even think free college is that big of a priority, but arguing for means testing sucks and he should know it sucks.

[wheatrich]

Warren has to be so tilted her collapse is because of a guy who sounds like a republican.

[Trolly]

The obvious compromise is free college for anyone except kids of rich fucks, I’m sure the DNC will be on board with that.

@catfacemeowmers

GOPete will not be deterred from pushing his republican talking points though.

Remember his plan is totally to get to m4a in 10 years or something, though!

Yeah, so, catching up on a month of this thread straight through offers a stark contrast: Pete isn’t just continuing the push of the points, he’s ramping them up significantly.

Like, I wouldn’t consider it safe money to bet that all republicans would even be so shameless as to include that last line about ‘trust(ing) the American people’. This is way beyond ‘but how u pay 4 it’.

No surprise, this is who she is, a craven, power-hungry opportunist. Went from supporting Warren to realizing she was a lying, opportunist POS when this was posted here a little while ago:

People are not necessarily defined by their work decades ago, but her campaign’s current day spin in that article on her corporate work actually being good completely reveal who she is.

She doesn’t give a damn about billionaires, she is only attacking them because she is smart enough to know it is politically popular. And while “Pocahontas” is inappropriate there is little doubt that the right is 100% correct that she lied and abused the system to attain extraordinary special preferences that she was not entitled to. Pained me to have to admit that to a right-wing colleague after realizing I had been duped by her.

Ffs man don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater.

Was it because of my burn in the Leftist Memes thread?

ITT we learn what the lessor of two evils is really about. Non-zero chance I vote Green again. Sorry Suzzer.

[Rivaldo]

Yeah, if we get some centrist stiff … I’m with you

@LouisCyphre

This. If anyone gets M4A done within 10 years of getting elected they should replace everyone on Mt.Rushmore.

Just their one head or four of their heads with different expressions?

If you guys want to continue to have elections and stuff in America, you should knock it off and support whoever the Dem nominee is. Fight for your candidates in the primary, but then you’ve gotta show up and vote against the fascist monster putting babies in cages.

Nothing’s stopping you from doing that, then protesting the new POTUS on Day 1 or voting third party in four years.
