2020 US Election (Part One)

I wonder if Warren will make an endorsement?

I think she will endorse Biden. She made it too much of a personal fight with Sanders. And I think she is jelous type.

 

[amadeus]

But would she want to be on the same team as Bloomberg? Seems like he was the one she hated the most.

She would most likely end up in the team anyway. She will just reduce it to "we need every inch of support to put DeMoNiC TrUmP out of office, despite our differences" or some other nonsense.

I hope Elizabeth Warren backs Bernie Sanders. I voted for him in the primary and will vote for him in the general come October, even if I have to write him in. Seattle will vote for the Democratic nom so I can safely throw away my vote.

 

[Ironsided]

Hopefully she endorses Sanders. He has been overly kind to her anyway. I’m desperate enough to even applaud her for VP. That would probably be the kind of twist and injection Bernie needs right now.

Anyway, you guys who can should make plans to march on Milwaukee. If Sanders get a plurality you need to demand the people’s candidate. If not, you can still demand an end to corruption, end of superdelegates, a ranked choice, publicly funded elections, international observers and the resignation of the corrupt party leadership. Trump is going to win against their senile human size wax doll anyway so might as well make the convention matter for a better future for the party.

 

[Kaitzilla]

Sanders should drop out to prove how pointless primaries are after Super Tuesday.

Then run as an Independent until Biden offers him vice president.

Really play hardball with these people.

I wonder if Warren will make an endorsement?

Just going off of 2016 I'd be surprised. She's likely to wait until there's a clear victor and endorse that person in a cynical power play hoping to garner favor with the winner.

Funny part is, it's unlikely she'll get anywhere with that kind of move. Bernie might forgive her but I'm not sure his supporters or staff would be on board with welcoming her into the administration. Her personal politics concerning economics are the polar opposite of Biden's. He'd view her as a foil even as a VP.

 

[Lexicus]

I honestly don't know what Warren's gonna do. I think a Biden endorsement is marginally more likely but I just don't know.

Watch as Warren torpedoes her "progressive" credentials and backs biden

It ain't gonna torpedo her progressive credentials. "Progressive" is a meaningless buzzword: you are either a capitalism-supporter or a socialist. Remember when Warren stood up and applauded when Trump said "America will never be a socialist country"?? Remember how Warren said she's "capitalist to her bones"??

 

[Socrates99]

She's been on that path for a while. Not sure why people consider her a progressive at all these days.

The same warren who was a Republican back in her youth.

These people would rather doom America to centuries of Oligarchy than a single day under someone who could remotely be considered a socialist

 

[Lexicus]

To be clear I still think Warren would be the second-best person in the race. But people claiming her politics are identical to Bernie's are just wrong, no other way to slice it. She at least recognizes capitalism needs to be saved from itself, unlike Biden...

"Nothing will change" Biden said to his wealthy donors.

He's a scumbag

I'm not even so concerned about that, though it's there. It's curious to see people claiming that Biden is a "big tent" guy who welcomes people into his coalition, when I feel like he not only hasn't welcomed people like me but has gone out of his way to spit on my concerns and interests. But anyway, my main concern is that I'm certain Biden will be defeated in November. It's really unfortunate because I think there were a bunch of other moderates in the race who would have had a better shot at beating Trump.

 

[cardgame]

Dnc playing like a country good old boys club, picture is made complete with het inappropriate touching. Nobody else can have it except Biden because he's a long time member who blah blah blah

He'll welcome, applaud and congratulate racists, but not anyone to left of him.

If it had to be a moderate I would have taken Castro in a heartbeat. Shame he got crowded out by grifters like Pete.

Geeze dude are people not allowed to change?

And Warren is the most far-left out there next to Bernie. Sure she's not as hardcore as Sanders and isn't willing to wear the same labels he does, but saying she's turned in her progressive credentials is hyperbolic. Y'all keep shouting about the party not making room for you but then say stuff like this and it's a pretty big turnoff.

And speaking only for myself, this stuff reflects poorly on Sanders because it really makes me wonder what about him attracts this level of devotion that reality begins to distort? The contrarian part of my personality instantly kicks in with this kind of rhetoric and definitely made me like him less even if that's 100% not his fault. I think the claims of a cult of personality are themselves hyperbolic but there's a seed of truth there.

She hired Hillary staffers for her campaign, a true mark of someone interested in progressive policies

mean Biden cruised 9 states, barely campaigning in them. he struggles to string a coherent sentence together, a shoe in for the democratic nominee.
