YAY! Total agreement at last thank god a’mighty! Best deal for the country is they all go the hell home.
Bernie Sanders or Donald Trump will be your next president
Nope.
As a Democrat I can’t stand most of the people running. Hopefully somebody will actually inspire me
Maybe just be you. Don’t worry about affiliations and support the candidate with the best policies…
I do that as a human being. It’s actually pretty straightforward.
It’s not church or anything.
I agree. Hillary is not running no matter what hairbrained story comes out ascribing quotes to her. Biden and Bernie may run but they are both going to be embarrassed in Iowa and NH.
My current order of preference (changes hourly):
1. Harris
2. Warren
3. Beto
4. Klobuchar
….
297. Getting run over by the Patriots team bus
298. Biden
300. Sanders
Galaxy logic.
Kamala Harris, infamous for criminalizing truancy, is your top pick?
“…as district attorney she successfully championed a statewide version of an anti-truancy law that she had put in place in San Francisco. A law that threatened parents of chronically truant children with as much as a $2,000 fine and a year in jail.”

….but let the foreclosure vulture Steve Mnuchin skate?
No matter. The worst of all possible Democratic candidates will be infinitely better than tRump or anyone else with an R after their name. I promise.
A week or two ago a reporter tweeted out that we were “halfway through Donald Trump’s first term.” My favorite response was, “Are you sure?”
IOW, I don’t think he’s going to be able to limp to the finish line, so I’d say it’s no better than 50-50 that he’s even around for the campaign.
I think Hillary would like a brokered convention to turn to her. I can’t see her running with her sky-high negatives.
Joe Biden has to outmaneuver Booker and Gillibrand for Wall Street backing, and I don’t think he can do it. If I’m a multi-millionaire, I’d want someone with more demographic appeal.
Sanders apparently is running, which is too bad, because I’d rather opponents not be able to tie those policies to a cranky old man who has already reached the ceiling of his popularity.
It’s not that he can’t win. It’s that he won’t be able to get anything done if he does, because the centrist Democrats — and they outnumber the liberal ones — plus what’s left of the GOP will all oppose his platform.
Instead of Sanders, you prefer a “centrist”(i.e. corporate) Democrat that will connive with “what’s left of the GOP”, like Obama and Clinton, so they will “be able to get anything done”?
Idiot,
Can you read?
Sanders apparently is running, which is too bad, because I’d rather opponents not be able to tie those policies to a cranky old man who has already reached the ceiling of his popularity.
Sanders does not strike me as “cranky”.
Are you sure the “cranky old man” is not your projection ?
Takes one to know one. And he’s 10 years younger than my father.
That cranky motherfucker tied himself to those causes a half a century ago. He’s fought for all this in Congress basically by himself.
The idea that California’s Top Cop….. truancy jailing, pot prosecuting, Mnunchin pardoning, senator is going carry the torch because of his perceived disloyalty to some faction is petty and shortsighted and dumb.
I’m not taking tgevsane mistake again.
“That cranky motherfucker tied himself to those causes a half a century ago. He’s fought for all this in Congress basically by himself.”
And he’d have only about a half-dozen more supporters in the Senate than he had all those years.
Never said I like Harris. I haven’t said I like anyone. I’ve said who I dislike, and yet, just like Jason, I’ll vote for whichever one of them wins the nomination.
Therefore, why borrow aggravation? I’m not going to pick the nominee. It’s not up to me, it’s certainly not up to Delaware, and I’m not going to pretend that I know more than the electorate and that therefore I should tell the electorate what to do.
Y’all vote for whomever you want to. Slag each other, but leave me out of it. I’m voting for whoever wins the Democratic nomination. Period.
I have strong doubts that Bernie is the person for this moment, or a moment two years hence. I have strong concerns that a full-bore leftist president without backup in Congress — and you’re going to have to work a lot harder at convincing people he’d have more than a smattering of people on board with him — will do more harm than good in moving us in the direction we need to go. When I say he’s cranky, it’s because that’s a common refrain I hear from people who are neutral about him.
My feelings about it don’t really matter, though, because as I say, I’m not choosing the nominee, and I don’t see any point in arguing about it. I’m making observations. If you don’t like them, tough shit.
Right, Bernie is cranky and Hillary is shrill. F**k that. Vote for the policies you like better; that’s how we pick a candidate.
“This clip is so disturbing. Harris admits her staff thought it was a terrible idea to prosecute poor parents for truant children. She acknowledges none of the socioeconomic factors, but actually LAUGHS when thinking about how she wielded the “stick” of prosecution against parents”

Very legal. Very cool.

lumping in Sanders with Donny is such an absurdly stupid take. it’s faux intellectualism at its worst.
my vote is locked in for Sanders because he’s the only one who has demonstrated a consistent and appropriate vision for our future. if he is somehow not an option, it’ll likely be Warren for me. no one else comes close.
” it’s faux intellectualism at its worst.”
Oh, don’t be so modest. Your faux intellectualism is right up there.
enjoy president cop, captain brain genius
No worries, Kneepads Kamala effectively ended her candidacy last night.
“If you like your healthcare plan, you can’t keep it”.
See ya. Thanks for playing.
Gotta say the kneepads comment is fucking dumb.
However, this Harris backtrack after she said private insurance should be abolished is very telling.
The lust for a “Real Democrat” exposes what “Real Democrats” actually stand for. Surprise folks! It’s not good.
@xyz: So last decade. Your game really has deteriorated since your Hitler manque has been exposed.
I don’t know who’s going to win the nomination, and neither do you. If it’s not Sanders or Warren, are you going to sit it out, or suck it up and vote for Ms. Law’n’Order?
I’m for either Sanders or Warren. They are the only ones who have a chance of delivering on single payer universal health care and stopping the hemorrhaging of privileges for the ultra wealthy. The business about how true progressives won’t have a chance of getting their legislation passed is highly speculative. It will depend upon how much public pressure they can gin up on Congress. Besides, the “pragmatic choice” in 2016 only succeeded in delivering the White House to a moron. Setting the standard at who is most likely to beat Trump is to set the standard at the level of Trump instead of what the American people deserve. Besides, the only likely candidate such a consideration would only apply to is Hillary because her permanent negatives are awfully high–something that was true in 2016 and was ignored by the Democratic Party to America’s harm.
“It will depend upon how much public pressure they can gin up on Congress.”
And if you count up the actual progressives in Congress, you’ll see I”m not speculating at all. There’s not enough support in the House let alone the Senate.
“I’m for either Sanders or Warren. They are the only ones who have a chance of delivering on single payer universal health care and stopping the hemorrhaging of privileges for the ultra wealthy.”
That right there is speculation. We don’t know what platform the Harris/Booker type of candidate will embrace. And I think if you’re looking at “getting things done,” the best candidate would probably be someone the Midwesterners can live with, like Klobuchar. But see, we don’t even know the full field yet. Why the rush to count out the other 24 candidates before they’ve even announced?
“Setting the standard at who is most likely to beat Trump is to set the standard at the level of Trump instead of what the American people deserve.”
I would argue that Trump is what the American people deserve, but that aside, the only standard I’m setting is that I’ll abide by the voters’ choice. I don’t know how they will make those choices, I only know what they tell pollsters — and, it’s important to point out, that’s all anyone knows.
Who you, I or the man in the moon “wants” just doesn’t matter, so why fight about it? Though I am reminded of the joke about why battles in academia are so fiercely fought — because so little is at stake.
“If you’re a US president, it’s probably not a great idea to meet with a foreign leader who meddled in your country’s elections without some way to record what’s being discussed.
But that’s just what President Donald Trump apparently did — again.
According to the Financial Times, Trump spoke to Russian President Vladimir Putin during last November’s G20 summit in Argentina without a US official present to take notes. “
