HRC was the moderate last time and she lost. Biden, Buttigeg, Beto, and others are the moderates this time and they get laughed out of rooms lol.

The neo-liberal period is coming to a close.

Do you think that fight between Biden and Trump will actually happen now? Maybe that could be how we decide the next president, two elderly egomaniacs glove up and the winner takes all. My money'd be on Biden, given he seems more fit, but then again Trump has the weight behind him and if he can land a few Biden may be in trouble. I mean Ruiz Jr. beat Joshua so anything can happen.

I also thought this thread was gonna be about Iran

Biden vs. Trump 2020. The sumo suit fight. Is something I could get behind.

War sucks.

Don't elect a corporate lackey.

Vote for Mustard.

A Prius in every driveway and a rifle in every home.

Weed is decriminalized and more of your taxes go to helping people than killing people.

But fentanyl dealers will swing by the rope.

And my border wall will be more of a Rollerball game.

Beto in a nutshell. Try and trick people with platitudes and rhetoric while dancing around the core of the question cause you know your answer will make you look bad.

This kid is great.

Warren is surging in the polls color me shocked. Bernie is starting to sag. Biden probably won't last through the primaries, he's got to much baggage. If he could skip past the primaries, he's got a decent chance against Trump.

Andrew Yang is interesting and has actual policy positions. Too nerdy though.

@brother nature. Butterkeg good nickname. Beta's gonna get mad at you. Lol.

I like butternuts, that's what I call my boss though.

Butterkeg could do well if he doesn't alienate the middle by pandering to the far left progressive base. That's really the biggest hurdle for any Democrat. They have to be a moderate candidate in the general, and progressive to win the primary.

I'd agree with this as well, from what I've seen he's not strayed too far off to the left as of yet, coming from Indiana will help there too I think, he's not a loony Californian or pretentious New Yorker. I think his foreign policies sound good, much more centrist than many of the democrats. His age and sexual preference seem to be the main detractors for most people though, but I also didn't think America would vote a black man in either and they did. Color me cynical I guess...

I don't know much about Yang aside from the fact his walkout song is "Return of the Mack, which is pretty cool. Wu-Tang would have been better though...

Great visual representation of the divide between real liberals and progressives, and the identity politics NPC nutters within the Democratic Party.

Are you saying being intellegent is a bad thing?

That explains alot about alot of what you say.

Not at all. The presidential election is a popularity contest. Nerds don't usually dominate popularity contest. It's not a put down on Yang.

Too nerdy for the population of America, is a better description. We would probably do better as a nation if our politicians were elected due to intelligence, rather than being a well spoken slick politicians.

I think the selection process could use a complete makeover. Also would not hurt to make sure the voters have half a brain.

Andrew Yang was on Bill Maher last Friday. Very smart, very successful and very good communicator. But he has never held elected office. Personally, my favorite is Governor Hickenlooper, but he doesn’t seem to be doing well so far. But truth be told, they could dig up Captain Kangaroo’s bones, slap a blue hat on him, and i would vote for him over president caddyshack.

Looks like most of the lost mice have found some cheese...

xavier7995 · Jun 14, 2019

Im rooting for hickenlooper as well. I think his folksyness would play well in places the dems need to win back. I like his business background, could lead to some clever barbs like "self made not daddy paid" or some such jazz. Seems fairly pragmatic which i really like.

Not much of a showman or public speaker though so doubtful he will make it very far. My ideal candidate would be way out there to the classic left (not so much the current liberal/left ideas) but that aint gonna happen.

Funny, but i quickly rebuffed the UBI idea as well. Then i opened my mind and listened to him, and did a fair amount of reading regarding the pros and cons, and now i support the idea. It would not be as expensive as you think, and the positive, long term economic benefit would be substantial. Think of it as a trump tariff farmer subsidy welfare payment that everybody gets.

My trouble isn't the cost, my issue is that it's a back door way to destroy social services. Why do you think Libertarians love it?

Step 1: Introduce UBI

Step 2: Eliminate all other social services

Step 3: Reduce UBI

Step 4: Eliminate UBI

Step 5: More money for the 0.1%!
