Who will run in 2020?

glad none of those people have switched positions on anything before

Yeah, Trump 2020. Get your passports ready. Spain, Portugal, New Zealand, Guatemala, Canada, Thailand, Mexico? Lotta options.

This. Goofy Iā€™m a bit confused here what you are getting at. Obviously we wish we had better options, but again, there is literally ONE candidate who supports universal health care. ONE. There is no other choice.

4th and trending down but hey Iā€™m sure thatā€™s it!

Here is a good starter pack:

In short he is using right wing talking points to attack progressive causes.

Wow at Warrenā€™s fall. Iā€™m feeling very WAAF and Biden is going to win and then Trump is going to win.

Ya. Pete is serving his purpose as an attack dog on Bernie/Warren quite nicely while allowing Biden to mostly stay out of the fray.

Obviously Pete has to attack Warren hard since they have the same voting block. Iā€™d like to think heā€™s not doing it as a favor for Biden but LOL me if that ticket ends up happening. (which is a mistake, Peteā€™s a bad VP pick imo)

I scat and bebop on Boredsocial more than anybody but I gotta disagree here. Heā€™s articulated at length about intergenerational psychic scarring.

Then again nobody really understands it so you might be right.

Itā€™s a joke.

White guy downplaying white privilege is clear lack of understanding

Would anyone take Hillary over Biden if it somehow came down to the two of them in the end?

Right, but Iā€™m not convinced thatā€™s whatā€™s happening. It feels like heā€™s arguing against an avatar of people who are overplaying.

Like, Chris Rockā€™s joke about the one-armed busboy was hilarious but itā€™s not the defining text on whiteness studies.

p.s. Iā€™ll x-post.

The guy who posted that isnā€™t an intern and the ā€œdanceā€ was done as a joke (I believe the guys a comedian). Bloombergā€™s campaign made a tweet saying he doesnā€™t work for the campaign and the guy who posted the video made a joke tweet saying ā€œso Iā€™m firedā€ or something along those lines. Some other twitter jokester made a tweet how Bloomberg is firing an unpaid intern and I believe a couple of random journalists thought it was serious and picked up the ā€œstoryā€

Biden, Sanders and and Harris are where they were a year ago. Warren and Buttigieg are where they were six months ago.
Thatā€™s the pre-Bloomberg top 5. A year long campaign and most gains were only temporary.
Biden and Warren seem to be the only ones with a ceiling that can actually separate them from the pack.

If it were literally a binary choice between those two, yes.

Imo heā€™s not a bad person. This is a DemE oppo research dump now that it seems possible from all the grassroots money heā€™s raised that he could defeat their candidate. The worst of it are sexist edgelord blog posts written in 1999 and 2000 that he deleted a few years later. These already were weaponized against Cenk when Mike Cernovich dug them up on the WayBackMachine in 2017. Cenk apologized profusely at the time, and even resigned from Justice Democrats, the organization he cofounded that got the Squad into Congress. Cenk goes hard against sexism on his show, and champions equal pay, paid family leave, right to choose, and other progressive policy items that would empower women. If you want to say that the fact that he once said he probably couldnā€™t resist a blowjob from ā€œa 3ā€ (on a 10-scale) means he #canceled for eternity, okay, but to me, it falls into purity testing.

Would you take her over Elizabeth?

Lol Iā€™ve read something like 3 articles in the last 24 hours talking about Bernieā€™s antisemitism problem. They all hit the same notes. The latest is the endorsement of Cenk who once gave an interview to David Duke. They quote Cenkā€™s sarcastic quotes as straight edged to make it sound like heā€™s approving of him.

Not to make too big a deal out of this but my five minutes of UK election research have convinced me that this (among other reasons) contributed to Labour getting curb stomped yesterday. Yea itā€™s lies but that shit fucking works.
