This Beto Oil and Gas money thing is about as dumb as the Booker and pharma money thing.
it's not dumb to care about where a politicians money comes from. it's worse to not care

Really.... This is by far the most absurd thing Ive seen this .. cycle. Absolutely amazing.

so where is the line?Unironically yes. Those industries are literally destroying the earth.
He is the meme candidate of 4chan and won't finish top 3 in a single state. Democrats are not the GOP they aren't going to elect someone who has never held an elected position.
Some of the examples are on loose footing but it can basically be summed up in one sentence; hes promising bipartisanship despite all the evidence against why thats a terrible idea. So duh.
Agreed. He's a terrible presidential candidate.
So he's useless.For instance, O'Rourke backs comprehensive energy reform and renewable incentives, but not a strict roadmap to net-zero greenhouse gas emissions, like the one contained in the so-called Green New Deal proposal.
Thats not happening in any countrySo he's useless.
We need net zero emissions ASAP. Anyone standing in the way of that is an enemy to the continued survival of humanity.
Here's hoping he goes away, and soon.
(He didn't)
Color me shocked that a Bernie stan is attacking Beto at the same time as declaring Beto's supporters to be morons.
Keep 'em coming.

Ah here we go with all the wonderful hot takes and purity tests.
If policy doesn't matter anymore then give me a good reason why democracy deserves to still exist?
Can't wait until we either all die or, of those who are left, are left in either authoritarian hellholes or fuedalist mad-max esque hellscapes.
wonder how he feels about the current makeup of the supreme court now?Same guy apparently wrote this :
Looks like he wasn't much more informed in 2016 than he gives credit to himself as being in 2008 then.
Ugh he's still a fucking idiot thenSame guy apparently wrote this :

Bernie and Beto have like nothing in common other than running as Democrats (and even then Bernie's "NoT a DeMoCrAt").Far from ideal, but I must admit, a Beto-Bernie ticket probably has the best chance of wrapping up the '20 elections for the Dems.
i have no idea who it is, just thought it was a funny tweet lol
also
lol
Pelosi is one of the most consistently liberal members of congress, if that's supposed to be what you were going for.
Lmfao to both of these takes.If you are going to try claiming Pelosi is a centrist you have a very weird understanding of American politics.
I despise America.Policy means shit unless we win. Beto has the best chances of winning. Policy gets you through the door but charisma and electability wins you elections.
Bernie's the least bad, but even his is okay at best.
Apparently the in-joke over there according to my Republican friend is that with Trump they're not getting a wall, but at least with Yang they're getting no wall and $1000/month.
The UBI thing is definitely a big positive. I feel it isn't time for that yet, but we need to start talking about it eventually.Yang's only contribution to the race is moving the overton window on UBI to the left. Praising Reagan's foreign policy is a special kind of stupid.
I'll never get the whole "purity tests" argument. What if Biden announced tomorrow saying we needed to deport every Muslim? Would that be acceptable? If we're saying purity tests are bad, then by your logic just because he wants an Islam-free America doesn't mean he should be deconsidered, right?Ah here we go with all the wonderful hot takes and purity tests.
All must be equal.He'll probably increase it to an equal number cause he's a centrist and all that jazz.
And faster than you can count, I've completely dismissed Beto as a nominee.
I'm sorry man, but for me that's still taking significant money tied to those sectors and corporations. Maybe for you and others the money needs to come directly from PACs. But significant money coming from individuals invested in those areas is not cool for me. That's fine if that's your standard but it ain't mine.
And faster than you can count, I've completely dismissed Beto as a nominee.
Shhhh... entristUh, isn't allowing Medicare buy-in for all a form of Medicare for All?
That was the goalpost in 2008 before Obama caved and went for RomneyCare for the ACA. The public option is okay, but it still has flaws that standard single payer solve altogether, such as the issue of funding for a variable amount of constituents as opposed to the entire nation. If you have to implement new tax policy that raises revenue for the entire nation's worth of healthcare anyway, you may as well just guarantee healthcare to everybody rather than have people explicitly buy into it.Uh, isn't allowing Medicare buy-in for all a form of Medicare for All?

This has nothing to do with pro or anti Beto, but wtf lol. Was he too busy for a sit-down or in-person interview?
