2020 Democratic Challengers Vi: The Undiscovered Country

Re: 2020 Democratic Challengers Vi: The Undiscovered Country

Guys,if you vote for anyone other than Bernie the world is going to end.

This is all I've heard in this thread:

Bernie is way cool
Everybody likes Bernie
Everybody wants to hang out with him
Anything he wants to do, he does
He turns water into wine
And if he wanted to
He could turn wheat into marijuana
Or sugar into cocaine
Or vitamin pills into amphetamines
He walks on the water
And swims on the land
He tells these stories
And people listen
He's really cool
If you're blind or lame
You just go to Bernie
And he puts his hands on you
And you will be healed
That's so cool
He can play guitar better than Hendrix
He can tell the future
He can bake the most delicious cake in the world
He can score more goals than Wayne Gretzky
He can dance better than Barishnikov
Bernie can be funnier than any comedian you can think of
Bernie is way cool
He tells people to eat his body and drink his blood
That's so cool
Bernie is so cool
But then some people got jealous of how cool he is
So they killed him
But then he rose from the dead
He rose from the dead, danced around
Then went up to heaven
I mean, that's so cool
Bernie way cool
No wonder there are so many Bernie Bros.

Why is he so insistent on attacking someone polling in the single digits? Let it go.

I'm saying he never had to deal with any real threats to his safety during his time there despite how dangerous he makes it sound and how he tries to play up that he was a troop and always mentions that AR-15's only should be used by people like him etc. when in reality he mostly worked in a financial unit in the safest area of the country.

My brother's wife retired from air guard. She was deployed to Afghanistan for a year, likely to the same base as Mayor Pete, based upon what I know of both of their roles, insomuch as they've disclosed. I know from her firsthand accounts that they did have to take up weapon and man posts during attacks. There were no losses within their base when she was there, at least none that she would say, but there was need of manning posts. The enemy had a good idea of what was in that base, and liked to take pot shots every now and again.

Right but even he, at least from everything I can find, never had to do what you’re describing here. And he’s also running for president selling books bragging about how dangerous it was (he talks, in his book, about learning to differentiate between construction sounds and suicide bombers despite no attacks of that kind having happened anywhere in the city during that period) when the worst thing he had to do was go outside the base (nothing is really confirming this part mind you, we just have to take his word for it) occasionally into a city of 4.6 million where less than fifty ppl died during terrorist attacks that year (most of which occurred before and after he was there). That doesn’t sound nearly as dangerous as what you’re describing (actual attacks of the base they’re in).

In other words Bernie does not have a real plan (or at least a realistic one). He senile sounding rants about millionaires sound good though.... Got it.

Yeah man your reading comprehension is great no wonder you support Bill Weld.

Amy Klobuchar was really good on Real Time last night. I still think she tries to hard to be centrist by squashing big ideas that not only could work but are going to have to work. There's too much "head in the sand" going on with the centrists and way too much denial going on with the right.

Also... you called me "man." About that. That may be fine for your frat house buddies, but ever since coming out and starting HRT, I really don't appreciate being called "man" or "dude" or "bro." I am none of those things. PLEASE stop calling me that. Correct yourself, or next time, I won't be so kind.

Yes, ma'am!

I didn’t call you anything, that’s a common phrase used when someone clearly posts something where you wonder what kind of hallucinogens they’re on. But I’ll try to be mindful of that and remember that not everyone here is a cis male (and yes I’m aware of your situation and would never intentionally do that).

Well I think that is part of what makes her a good Senator, but a bad candidate in this climate. In the Senate you have to play both ends (publicly hate the other side while working with them) but any Dem who runs on a platform like that is dead on arrival. (outside Biden) 20 years ago she would be a great nominee because she would say she can "get things done" and can be the adult in the room but the Dems need someone who can fight the insanity and she just isnt that. Not a knock, just not the type of candidate she is.

She can be my Senator til the end of time though

Re: 2020 Democratic Challengers Vi: The Undiscovered Country

I think ideally she’d eventually be primaried by someone better but last time around she faced a convicted murderer and like three other people who didn’t even have websites IIRC. So it’s not like there was any other option.
