Election 2020 The 2020 Candidates: Right, Left and Center!

[Xorkoth]

^truth bombs. When will the Left distance themselves from such a toxic and oppressive ideology? The tyranny of compassion.

Wow, so dramatic. What about the single mom of 3 working the best job she can, who is only able to feed her kids through welfare. Not everyone is destined for greatness or has the capacity or desire to be "great". I think it produces more harm in kids to be chronically underfed than it does to offer them assistance in being fed. Yes, perhaps we need welfare reform. But welfare itself is a pillar of a civilized society.

Of course we also need to realign our priorities so that people working and doing their part helping society run can afford to feed their children without welfare, that way it can be less of a burden on society and be saved for those temporarily in bad situations (like the guy laid off due to job cuts who needs help for a few months while he finds a new job, so he doesn't lose his house and put his family on the street).

^fair point. Truth is in the middle.

This is your daily reminder that Bernie Sanders:

-has never held a real job in 77 years
-honeymooned in the Soviet Union
-claims to be a socialist yet owns three houses and is a multimillionaire
-and has only passed 3 bills into law since 1991

He's a disaster.

Is anyone running on the platform of Egalitarian Humanism?

So the Washington Post shockingly calls them out on it.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/poli...report-claim-that-michael-brown-was-murdered/

“Michael Brown’s murder forever changed Ferguson and America. His tragic death sparked a desperately needed conversation and a nationwide movement. We must fight for stronger accountability and racial equity in our justice system.”

— Sen. Kamala D. Harris (D-Calif.), in a tweet, Aug. 9

“5 years ago Michael Brown was murdered by a white police officer in Ferguson, Missouri. Michael was unarmed yet he was shot 6 times. I stand with activists and organizers who continue the fight for justice for Michael. We must confront systemic racism and police violence head on.”

— Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), in a tweet, Aug. 9


"Harris and Warren have ignored the findings of the Justice Department to accuse Wilson of murder, even though the Justice Department found no credible evidence to support that claim. Instead, the Justice Department found that the popular narrative was wrong, according to witnesses deemed to be credible, some of whom testified reluctantly because of fear of reprisal. The department produced a comprehensive report to determine what happened, making the senators’ dismissal of it even more galling. Harris and Warren both earn Four Pinocchios."

And apparently it was a co-ordinated lefty effort to promote this demonstrably false and divisive lie.

 

[Captain.Heroin]

So glad this came up.

And apparently it was a co-ordinated lefty effort to promote this demonstrably false and divisive lie.

I'm not seeing where Biden, Sanders, Booker, or Gillibrand used the word murder. Only Warren and and Harris. And I agree, murder is not an accurate description of what happened according to the evidence. (In this particular case, I do think the term is warranted in other cases)

 

[w01fg4ng]

I like Sander's tweet the best. Short, sweet and to the point.

I can tell you right now, Russia isn't the only country with "secret armies"

I believe you man. I'm just glad that this is coming out.

Warren leapfrogs Sanders in pair of 2020 polls

It's the latest evidence that the Massachusetts senator is surging.

www.politico.com

It’s been long said that Sanders and Warren are competing for the same Democratic base. It looks like Warren is winning by a clear margin.

 

[Captain.Heroin]

He did and Cruz should have lost big time.

 

[cduggles]

Fox News poll has Biden, Sanders, Harris, and Warren winning against Trump.

Trump has to be panicking because the economy might stabilize (it won’t but I want to be optimistic), and he’s still losing. That’s not a good sign.

Fox News Poll: Biden still leads Democratic race, Warren climbs into second

In the first major shakeup to the lineup, Elizabeth Warren moves ahead of Bernie Sanders to claim second place behind Joe Biden in the Democratic nomination race. In addition, primary voters sharply divide between embracing former President Obama’s legacy and taking a new path.

www.foxnews.com

Each of the Democratic candidates tested in the poll beats Donald Trump in possible 2020 matchups -- and each makes gains compared to July. And while Trump never hits 40 percent support, it’s important to note that none of the challengers breaks 50 percent, and there are enough remaining undecided/third-party voters -- between 12-15 percent -- to swing the race either way.

“Biden and Sanders have held sizable leads over Trump before,” said Democratic pollster Chris Anderson, who conducts the Fox News Poll with Republican Daron Shaw. “But this is the first time our poll results give Warren and Harris the chance to stake a claim to an electability argument as well.”

Trump trails Biden by 12 points (50-38 percent), Sanders by 9 (48-39), and Warren by 7 (46-39). Those leads are outside the poll’s margin of error. This is the first Fox News Poll to show a lead for Warren outside the margin of error.

Harris’s 6-point advantage in a matchup against Trump sits right at the error margin (45-39).

“So much can happen in a day, let alone 14 months,” said Shaw. “But the president’s inability to capitalize on the strong economy, especially among independents, has to concern the White House.”

While interest in the 2020 election remains high among all voters, more Democrats (63 percent) than Republicans (56 percent) are “extremely” interested.

 

[Xorkoth]

Huh I'm not naive enough to believe a poll has any validity this far out (or necessarily even on election night), but if Fox says it, that says something at least.

As much as I really wish Bernie could be president, I think Warren is a better choice because she's not associated with "socialism" like Bernie is (I used quotation marks because what Bernie proposes is not Socialism, it's democracy where resources are focused on the people instead of the wealthy). I think she has a better chance of winning and I also think she'd make a good president from what I've seen of her. The whole native American thing was a stupid little remark that got way blown out of proportion just like the media does with Trump on half the shit he says.

 

[cduggles]

@Xorkoth I agree with you that the polls don’t have much predictive value except to indicate that Trump is in trouble.

He should be winning handily, even in polls with a liberal bias, much less this Fox poll and his own internals.

I can't believe Beto said that... I can't believe I voted for him. This is the end of his political career.

More and more I wonder if I'll end up voting Republican next year...

Lol I wouldnt wanna die in my sleep. Rather keep fighting.

 

[Xorkoth]

The Democratic party is a shitshow right now. Disappointing, very disappointing. The fuck are they doing? Are they all idiots?

 

[cduggles]

It’s a crowded field and candidates are trying to stand out. (And yes they’re acting like idiots ?). But as the formula goes: tack left for the nomination and tack middle for the win.
