2020 Democratic Presidential Nominees

What would be the delegate breakdown there? If candidates are winning primaries with under 30%, the convention is going to be nuts.

That’s like giving me the choice between herpes, aids, or not fucking.

I’ll just not fuck then.

No it’s really not. You can not fuck all you want, but in this scenario you’re getting either herpes or aids regardless of whether you fuck. Herpes is manageable, and you’ll die from aids. Probably vote for the cure to aids this time instead.
 
The wild thing about this bullshit argument is that Hillary and Obama were both the moderate candidates pubs now claim they’d support.

They mean a conservative WASP straight man who was never connected to Obama or Hillary. Then they’d maybe vote for him. It’s too much to ask them to vote for Obama’s VP, a Jewish man, a woman, or a gay man.

These idiots (Angus, registered Republicans and conservative-leaning independents) want somebody else to get rid of their Trump problem for them. But they won’t vote for a Democrat.

I feel like you consider yourself a pretty reasonable, rational, pragmatic guy. Given the makeup of Congress, do you really think things are meaningfully different in 2022 with Bernie in the White House compared to Warren? Hell I think you are going to have to squint to notice differences between a Bernie and a Buttigieg presidency. I think this Matt Yglesias piece is pretty realistic.

...in the legislative arena, where any president is going to be sharply constrained, he stands the best chance of getting the left on board with the sure-to-be-disappointing compromises that will be necessary to advance the ball at all on important issues...

A Sanders presidency should generate an emphasis on full employment, a tendency to shy away from launching wars, an executive branch that actually tries to enforce environmental protection and civil rights laws, and a situation in which bills that both progressives and moderates can agree on get to become law.
