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.

2020 Democratic Presidential Primary | OT | Hickenlooper makes it to the debate
- Thread starter pigeon

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.
exactly, I think for this primary you're going to get someone to enthusiastically vote for regardless of who your first option is
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.
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.
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.
(Not talking about me talking about left and far-left people btw)

Harris is like Liberal Party of Canada left, (Trudeau).
Legalizing weed Federally would be great
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.
Thanks!

It's Erin Burnett. Don't get your hopes up for her doing anything substantial. She's no Rachel Maddow.
In her world, gun violence is violence committed against a gun.
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.
Doubtless she'd say something like they would have killed themselves anyway with something, similar to the argument mass shooters would be mass stabbers
Klobuchar horrible to staffers
I worked for a "progressive" male politician who did the exact same thing out of pettiness. It was disgusting and utterly mind-boggling. And then he'd go out and give speeches about standing up to bullies.

Her marijuana advocacy seems very insincere to me. It's good that she is finally on the right side of history with this issue but she had a lot of power as DA and AG to help shape policy.
Kamala Harris really didn't have to lie about listening to highschool sophomores 2pac Shakur and Snoop Dogg while she was in college. Why can't politicians just be normal?
Politicians are expected to lie, but damn... just be you. I hope Warren's handling of the Native American debacle hasn't killed her chances, because I actually believe her when she discusses her policy goals.
Yeah. Honestly don't care if she lied about that bit one way or the other.
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.

oh no! kamala may have smoked pots and listened to music past the national grace period known as "college"
quick let's all cancel her for this egregious, egregious gaffe

Charlemagne always looking like he's grilling the shit outta the guest he's sitting next to.
And he usually is.
And he usually is.
That Morning Consult Poll is really good news for Bernie. Only 7 points behind Biden with both Warren and Beto's voters having him as his #1 preference if they don't run (Warren me thinks will continue to diminish and Beto won't run).
He might be stronger than I thought. All it takes now is to see if Biden deflates if the Obama-halo isn't as strong on him.
Obviously there's still Super Tuesday.

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 human
biden is genuine but it's all awful
