Yeah, Inslee seems like a solid dude. Kinda feel bad tbh that he's such a non-factor. Anyone who prioritizes climate change gets a ton of respect from me.

1. Resident Evil 4 will be an important part of K-12 education
2. Climate Change is gonna fucking kill us so we need to actually do something about it
3. I am from Portland OR and the homeless problem is a big deal that no one talks or wants to talk about. As president, I will increase taxes to help buy up land that can be used as incredibly cheap housing, support education programs that help those people find work, mental health care, and drug rehabilitation.
4. Medicare for all except for white men named Jesse because every white man named Jesse I have ever met is a colossal douchebag
I think you posted this before and I would vote for you so goddamn hard. I especially like your stance on Resident Evil FOOOOOUUUUUR.
I also want to note that there are far more vacant homes than homeless people.
I got two more
5. Ban guns, offer tax incentives for those who buy swords and shields
6. Using the incorrect word "Irregardless" in both spoken dialogue or in writing is now a class c felony
I fear that limiting RE4 to only K-12 doesn't go far enough
This is why it's never going to happen. He won't have the power to do that as president.
Last and final part of my platform
7. We are going to put massive tariffs on Atlus games until they can get their homophobia nonsense sorted out

Fucking avatar bets
Out of all the nobody candidates and probably most of the regular candidates I would say Inslee is one that I really hopes gets a cabinet position
Wholeheartedly agree
Wonder where he'd be able to do the most good
Both EPA head and Secretary of Interior would be good spots for him looking at his experience. He has a lot of tech and eco committee work and some housing experience so HUD wouldn't be bad either. Honestly, if he had a national profile before running he would probably be a real contender
(Also I propose that all Atlus games must include only gay romance going forward)
Yeah since Crenshaw has been attacking her.
This is pretty weak stuff.
It's general 'we are better than this' rhetoric that can be used for any day of this administration.
pretty weak response tbh
doesn't mention or acknowledge the actual literal danger that they're putting omar in based on all this bullshit
It's not that great, but better than nothing. I'd expect him to release a stronger response tomorrow.
has bernie ever even said he wants to explicitly ban private health insurance? in the last CNN town hall he basically said there'd be no reason to get private health insurance for anything besides cosmetic procedures because medicare for all would cover everything else. I haven't seen him say he wants to ban private health insurance outright.
Taking notes on this Omar stuff for how to cast my Super Tuesday vote.
In a vacuum I'd still say Kamala is my favorite but she hasn't been upfront enough lately. Policy-wise Warren is my favorite but her favorability is a problem (which I know is bullshit but above all, I want to win).
Beto's doing a better job getting out ahead of the hot-button issues right now. Parts of Mayor Pete's comments and background are a little concerning although his positions are tight.
Prolly Kamala -> Beto -> Pete -> Warren in order of preference right now.
Let's just hope Biden flames out. Although his problems don't seem to be sticking with the electorate he is so not what the country needs right now.

I noticed Cory Booker has just started leading in the FiveThirtyEight "Endorsement Primary" (that is, their weighting of each candidate's endorsements based on the political positions of the endorsers).

It's mostly because they're the crowd favorites for their state political machine. Klobuchar is a force to be reckoned with in Minnesota politics and the machine in New Jersey is strong in its loyalty. A big part of what's cut against Gillibrand's ability to get off the ground is that she's outside the machine in New York and hasn't been able to get their backing.
I hate political machines >:(
Glad to see Bernie coming in 4th I guess. I take it to mean Vermont's behind him.
11 of his 21 points are from Vermont. If you click on their name or scroll down, it breaks the endorsements down. :)
EDIT: It looks like 52 of Kamala Harris's 55 points are from California. 55 of Cory Booker's 57 from New Jersey, etc.

Yeah I know its been mentioned already but "we" are not the people thats worth being scared of. Its the far right who want to literally kill Omar
Great statement by Warren. Good statement by Sanders. I like how Warren mentioned the complicity of silence.
I'm looking forward to debates with these two.

I like both statements, but Warren in particular went all in. She did the important thing of not only acknowledging Trump's racism, but also the people who enable him.
Didn't know Cornel West was close with Buttigieg's family:
Not surprised about his candor though. That's how West has always been.

"Pete's dad is also an academic and they spent summers in Italy together doing research in the early 80s. "

The way it's worded does give off romantic undertones now that I think about it, haha.
Speaking of family/moms, mine just posted this gem on Facebook: "Ilhan Omar is crying she's receiving death threats. They're not death threats. Just some people saying something".
Just hilarious stuff.
I don't even know how to respond. Maybe tell her to turn off Fox News for 5 seconds and bother to actually watch the clip and maybe consider that's not what Omar meant by it at all...
I'm sorry.
If that was my mom id log in to her account and change her password permanently.
Oof. That's unfortunate. I wouldn't know how to respond either.
