The 2020 Presidential Election Primary Thread

Julian Castro kicked everyone's ass on the immigration questions. They need to hit the books and get on his level.

Agreed.

That's the most worked up I've ever seen you post.

SU is very angry toward the nebulous left. Supposedly he doesn’t approve of Trump, but there is scant evidence of that.

Yep. Too bad he’s like 5’6”

In the recap everybody is loving Elizabeth Warren.

It’s like she never even claimed to be a Cherokee woman for most of her life.

Trump can’t wait to remind everybody.

I think Julian Castro said that we need to defend the right of trans women to have abortions.

What a dummy.

Yeah and maybe Castro can hit the books on biology.

Okay, I have not been paying attention. So Biden and Bernie did not even participate. I can see why not, but was it planned that they not participate? Or did they just regret saying they had "other commitments?"

The racist and the socialist are in the other dem playoff bracket which plays tomorrow night. With everyone and their dog in the running for the dem ticket they adopted this playoff format. Warren got put in the losers bracket, which seems appropriate.

So four brackets playing over about month's time and we'll finally have a champion. Excellent.

The pervasive media spin that Warren won is ridiculous.

I tend to like centrists who can work with the other side, who are realistic about our debt, who don't go over the edge on identity politics, and who have experience governing. A few folks showed running mate potential on that front.

Here's one of my big picture concerns, though:

The media behave so as to minimize the importance of people's votes.

The whole "election cycle" has become about conservative and liberal media trying to keep their respective cultists hypnotized. There's so much damn framing that they might as well bust out the pocket watch and go Frank Mesmer.

Believe it or not, Frank (and I can't speak for SU, so I don't know if this is representative of him) it's very possible to dislike Trump while also being disappointed, frustrated with and even very angry towards the "nebulous left". Disliking some of the dumb ideas coming from the left does not automatically mean someone likes Trump. Just like disliking Trump does not mean that someone loves what's coming from the left.

Hopefully more people figure that out before the next election cycle or Trump is a shoo-in.

That was worth typing twice. I couldn't agree more.
