  • Re: 2020 Democratic Challengers IV: Culling the Herd

    Nobody should trash Biden, but we should be aware we are making the same mistake we made in 2016. Familiar isn't always better.

    It's not age per se. Warren and Sanders haven't lost a step and for all I know they're even older than Biden. But Biden looks obsolete when it comes to addressing any of the changes any liberal wants to see. He seems like an impediment. That can work -- LBJ was seen as a big step backwards in 1963 and all he did was the VRA and the Great Society. But the optics are sh-t.

      You don't think Sanders looks even more creaky and out of it than Biden does? Have you ever seen him trying to explain his plans in detail?

      Yes on Warren as she's sharp as a tack and she's probably forgotten about more than the rest of us will ever know. However, if you apply the age brush to one person its going to apply to all of 'em, even the one that you and I both hope gets the nomination.

        Naw, I think he looks like Sanders. The only change is last time he was the new kid in town and this time he's a known quantity so the charm offensive isn't quite as effective. He's also operating within a field where he's within the same continuum from center to left, whereas last time he was out all alone on the flank. Both these things contribute to him being less fun this time.

        And for that matter, Warren is so obviously better as a choice for the broad mass of lofo voters that I find myself twitching impatiently with Bernie and telepathically sending him messages about dropping out and supporting her.

        However, if you apply the age brush to one person its going to apply to all of 'em, even the one that you and I both hope gets the nomination.
        I repeat, it's not age per se. Warren and Sanders can get away with looking like the aunt and uncle of the Elder Gods because they are talking about new policies and refreshing solutions. Biden can't because he's peddling 1992 to an electorate half of whom have completely passed him by.

        Joe seems like a good egg. He needs to have a moment of reflection and realize he is not the good choice for us. But who can really do that, when they're in sight of the Presidency? Who has that level of self-awareness? I'd guess any person who does did not get into politics. Every one of these people is, in their heart, Tracy Flick.

              I don't think anyone other than you actually believes this. The guy has far more energy than Biden, he's walking like 10+ miles on certain days and is all over the place doing interviews (the other day he was on Rogan's podcast and then walking around Skid Row later in the day.

              And he isn't doing some racist gaffe every other day like Biden.

              They will once they actually start paying attention. With a field of 500 candidates 6 months out I can see why people are currently tuned out.

                trix your opinion regarding Bernie isn't exactly impartial. I think you organized a boycott of People magazine when they refused to name Sanders the sexist man alive in 2016.

                    Biden is going to be the nominee, and the Urine King is going to be crowned for a second term.

                      Could happen. I'm not betting on it, but it's a possibility.

                          Elizabeth Warren, same outcome.
                          Warren will be saddled with "is she electable?" from July 2020 to November 2020.

                            I don't seen that at all. Obviously the Republicans and their Russian handlers will be pushing that, but I don't see it sticking with anybody who's not already part of the cult.

                              Kep, if you can't poke fun at Sanders fans, who CAN you make fun of? I admire trix' devotion to the old dude too but even you have to admit its crossed over into master/canine loyalty at this point.

                                It's hilarious how Rover won't actually debate anything on the merits and just keeps repeating that Sanders supporters are "crazy" for wanting basic things that every other country has.
