The 2020 Presidential Election Primary Thread

That's the silver lining - CS/Engineering pays. The other silver lining is that my kids are not going into debt for their school. Thanks to 529 plans, we saved early and often and also have dual incomes to help them out.

Tax free growth of money and dual incomes... The new road to the american dream.

You know, there are other ways to get an engineering degree. You act like that is the only possible career path.

Yeah, he should have sent his kids to UT-Austin... better engineering school.

Biden is in. Not a bad kickoff video. Almost sounds like a pre-Trump Republican.

Biden gets a great endorsement... https://www.foxnews.com/politics/joe...i-2020-support

Uh no, that's neither funny or clever. At best it's a reach ... now that's funny—it's a reach, get it

Almost as good as the David Duke endorsement Trump got.

I liked Albert Brooks' tweet earlier today:

Biden has been eight hours in with no major gaffes. This just might work.

Joe Biden’s logo has a problem I can’t unsee
[...]
But there’s one major error that a colleague pointed out–and now I can’t unsee it. And it’s far more devastating than the way some interpreted Hillary’s logo as an arrow pointing to the right. The “E” in both “Biden” and at the end of “Joe,” while certainly meant to evoke an American flag, looks a whole lot like a hand. And because it’s red, it pulls your eye right toward it. In his own logo, Joe Biden has been caught red-handed.

Biden’s biggest challenge going into the race has been addressing his history of touchy-feely behavior. Former Nevada Democratic assemblywoman Lucy Flores came forward to publish her own experience with Biden giving a slow kiss to the back of her head. Then, Connecticut fundraiser Amy Lappos shared a story about Biden rubbing noses with her. Three more women talked to The Washington Post sharing their own stories. Biden promised to “be more mindful” while citing shifting social norms, but he has also continued joking about it.

Surely, you cannot foresee every interpretation of a logo in an era when the MAGA hat is a design icon. But nobody thought about the repercussions of a red hand, for a powerful white man accused multiple times of uninvited contact?

Speaking as a Graphic Designer who designs logos and has a few trademarked logos to his credit, the logo also evokes:

• An open hand, extended in friendship
• American military aircraft insignia
• Eve's robotic hand from the movie Walle
• Hellboy's Right hand of doom

Biden voted for the Iraq War. That's the beginning and the end of my consideration for Biden. I will vote for Biden over Trump, but Biden can't even hold a candle to a principled candidate like Tulsi Gabbard (who, unsurprisingly, is going nowhere since voters - in general - will embrace style over substance).
