Harris, Warren and Bernie are all notably left of Hillary. People on the left have more choices than they've had in 20+ years, at least.you realize that both Warren and Bernie will fully support Harris if she's the nom right?

If by establishment voters you mean black voters, and particularly black women, the substantial bloc that carries Dems, then the first black woman to have a serious shot at President is going to be more meaningful to turnout than whatever fringe Jill Steiners that the first American Indian white woman from Massachusetts will bring into the fold.Dem establishment voters tend to come out more than those on the left. Remember Bernie brought out a lot of new voters who usually don't come out and vote. How many of those do you think would vote for Harris compared to Warren in the general?

Agreed. Like, wanting Bernie and ending up with Kamala is a much easier pill for leftists to swallow than wanting Bernie and ending up with Hillary, or wanting Kucinich and ending up with Obama. I think concern of people on the left sitting out the election because their first choice doesn't get the nom is way overblown this time around. Unless the nom goes to Biden or Klobuchar somehow, there are a lot of good options for people left of the average Democrat.exactly, I think for this primary you're going to get someone to enthusiastically vote for regardless of who your first option is
We're going after Harris for standing up to gun violence now? Is that a bad thing?
I forgot to include my thought. My bad, fam.I'm all for criticism of Harris' prosecutorial past but isn't Loesch part of the gun lobby?
Oh thank god, I thought I fell into bizarro primary world.
Depends of how much she supports single-payer and the green new deal on the general.Agreed. Like, wanting Bernie and ending up with Kamala is a much easier pill for leftists to swallow than wanting Bernie and ending up with Hillary, or wanting Kucinich and ending up with Obama.
Harris is like Liberal Party of Canada left, (Trudeau).My biggest worry about Harris is turnout. I just fear a lot of leftists who would vote for Bernie or Warren in the general won't vote for Harris, similar to Hillary
I think Bernie and Warren would generate the largest turnout of supporters in the general

He's scheduled to speak at 6pm PST, I believe.
It's the general, vote for whoever the nominee is.
Warren, yes. Bernie, unless he has changed tactics to be more flexible and supportive, will drag the whole thing out to the end to make sure his endorsement is leverage against the nominee and the DNC for concessions than do the bare minimum to get his voters to join Team Nominee when they give in.
The fact that Erin Burnett even had Amy Kremer from Women for Trump on at all is gross. But they just glossed over her LYING and saying that the Clinton campaign started the Obama birtherism nonsense.
No, call her out on the fucking lie.
In her world, gun violence is violence committed against a gun.Dana Loesch doesn't consider suicide by firearm a form of gun violence?
I'm going to make it my mission to one day shoot a gun with a gun in front of her and see her explode from the contradiction.In her world, gun violence is violence committed against a gun.
WHAT ABOUT GUN ON GUN CRIMEI'm going to make it my mission to one day shoot a gun with a gun in front of her and see her explode from the contradiction.

LOL.In her world, gun violence is violence committed against a gun.
Harris first announced her support for legalizing marijuana just last year, long after her home state and several others around the country legalized its use. In a book released last month, she called for legalizing and regulating the drug, as well as expunging nonviolent marijuana-related offenses "from the records of millions of people who have been arrested and incarcerated so they can get on with their lives."
Harris's pivot comes amidst increased scrutiny of her prosecutorial record. In addition to her earlier comments about weed, Harris has a complicated prosecutorial history with sex work, school truancy, and wrongful convictions.
Yeah. Honestly don't care if she lied about that bit one way or the other.I'm not sure it's really a lie. I mean, we're talking about music from almost 30 years ago. Putting together a timetable of when I actually listened to music would be insane.
This is probably the right takeaway.Lol I think it's because she flat out can't say " fuck yeah, I used to smoke up to Makaveli back at the office after winning trials. I'm glad Jimmy Henchmen eventually got his!". "College" is always the safe answer for weed, any use afterwards and the general public sideeyes you.
If Kamala name drops Daz and Kurupt then she moves up in the ranks for me.

if beto runs he's like the pure incarnation of a manufactured empty suit candidate, same for booker but he's less convincing as an actual humanMysteriously, the only people who will be consistently labelled "insincere" in this primary will all be women.
