2020 Democratic Party primary thread

I always thought of that character as a hybrid Dick Cheney / Jim Jones type (even the cliffs notes link you posted noted the Jones similarities) The NYT is not "everyone else"

It's mostly the whole Marxist power grab with a cult following thing that reminds me of Ellsworth.

Oh right, you're still mistaking Marxists with democratic socialists with social democrats. All the same thing, right, McBain?

I call him 'far-left populist DT'. A polarizing motherfucker.

center left, and probably more similar to old school populist progressives like Williams Jenning Bryan or even Teddy Roosevelt than he is to Trump. Unfortunately this country has shifted so far to the right over the last 40 years that anything vaguely progressive or left of center is suddenly considered "far left" by those ignorant of history.

"You're gonna take away our guns," the worker tells Biden as he walks by in close quarters, surrounded by workers and the media.

Biden misses no beat before responding, "You're full of shit."

"Shush-shush!" Biden says to a woman who tries to interject "I support the Second Amendment."
"From the very beginning, I have a shotgun, a twin gauge, a 12-gauge, my sons hunt. Guess what? I'm not taking your gun away at all. Do you need 100 rounds?"


I heard a dumb, jackass say the same thing about Hillary. That people actually believe anyone is going to take away their guns is absurd. My dad had shotguns and rifles, but he sure as shit didn't own an assault weapon.

Ridiculous. Or do you want to start plotting points on a grid and labeling them? Picayune.

You're the one who started out with the "far left" description, suggesting you yourself were basing your understanding on that sort of metric or something like it. Don't change the parameters to suit your argument or in an attempt to make others look asinine. It's just lazy, and hypocritical. Pot meet kettle.

No. it's your double standards I dislike. You don't exact the same standards on yourself as you do on others. You're an insufferable troll, and if you've noticed, hardly any members ever reply directly to you anymore. No one likes you. It's not them, it's you. You did this to yourself. Not only are you a troll, you're an intellectual lightweight who avoids addressing people when you're wrong by instead taking their posts out of context or replying with lame, tired witticisms.

The country needs a return to sanity, not an extremist from the idealistic far left to defeat Trump, the extremist reactionary on the far right. Give us someone — any gender or race — who is a real problem solver and who has some hope of winning the presidential and congressional election and then creating the political conditions for real change.

Is it mandatory to spam social media with "I voted" selfies and Bernie hash tags if you're a Bernie supporter in Michigan today?
