No matter how many times you stress it, it doesn't make it less idiotic.
my kingdom for some self-awareness about 2016

fuck...and i cannot stress this enough...moderates and independents who'd be scared off by anybody the dems nominate
This is how I feel about your dude Pete, fwiw. Lots of similarities between Buttigieg and Obama in terms of policy. If you think Castro had a reasonable shot against Cornyn, then why don't you think Buttigieg could beat Todd Young or Mike Braun?
Guy: I’m a 62 year old man from Long Island. I look down on everyone who doesn’t own a home and a $60,000 SUV. I live in a working class neighborhood, that means my neighbors are cops and the owners of plumbing firms. Every conversation I have about sports is racist.
Dems: I simply must have this vote.
People like you are why Trump is going to win again. I don't know who the Democratic nominee will finally be, but it is not going to be Bernie Sanders or Elizabeth Warren. Even President Obama has said that he would intervene if it looked like Sanders was going to win the nomination. And Sanders is more honest, reliable & likable than Warren.
HoosierDeac nailed it in a post above this one. Whether or not we can defeat Trump will depend to a large degree upon what disgruntled Sanders & Warren supporters do when they realize that their candidate is not going to be the nominee.
The guy in LI doesn't matter. Trump has no shot in NY.
The white, soccer mom in Ardmore, PA does. The black guy who didn't vote in Milwaukee matters. The Hispanic autoworker in Detroit matters.
We need kickass Senate candidates in Iowa, GA and NC to help in those states. We need young progressives to contact Steve Bullock to get him to run in MT.
This is not true and was proved by Obama. The 2018 election was won by people in many collar districts who are moderates and independents as well as getting out the votes of those under 35.
I don't like any of the Top 4, but it doesn't matter who is the nominee. Everyone has to be on the team to beat Trump. Nothing else matters.
sorry but isn't this exactly what i was saying?

lol yes, you're making my point!
I'm telling you it has to be Biden. He would play the best in the must-get states (MI, WI, PA, et al) and is middle of the road enough to not scare off moderate/independents like some of the more progressive candidates might. Do you really need someone to "fire up the base"? Isn't Trump enough? If not, then you deserve what you get.
If you feel that strongly about Stacey Abrams it looks like you would at least know her name. In any event, I feel that Kamala Harris would be a much better VP candidate than Stacey Abrams....for several reasons. 1) Harris is more photogenic. Ridicule that if you wish, but it would be a factor. 2) Harris is better known. The fact that you didn't even know Abrams' name is a testament to that. 3) Harris is better qualified to become president, which would be an important factor when paired with what would be a 78-year old President Biden.
I don’t know that FD is endorsing the photogenic comment but of course all else (close to) equal looks matter. It’s bullshit but it’s true. True for both sexes, but much more so for women.
I am a big Abrams fan and think she got jobbed in GA. She has a bright future.

I mean you take any two candidates regardless of gender with the exact same resume and the one who's more photogenic is going to have an advantage. That's just life.
That's not at all what you said. You said Dems care about the guy in LI and they don't.
