🇺🇸 Discussion: The DEMOCRATIC P - Part 3

[Aximili86]

Good to see Bloomberg out there talking some sense this week, along with the Starbucks guy.

Obviously they have no chance though, being serious people with the experience to back up the rhetoric. Oh, and the pale skin and the penises and the wrinkly faces. Bad, bad Bloomberg. Forcefully shutting down entire industries by government decree and expanding a system that's already going bankrupt with the sick & the elderly to everyone getting it instead is totally viable. Your criticism on the pragmatism is mean and harsh and out of touch. Bad old guy with common sense, bad. Back to the 90s with you, get with the times.

Let's go full idiocracy.

Howard Dean, smearing the progressive candidates again. So predictable! I get that Tulsi isn't perfect, though I like her current political ads where she actually covers issues over Kamala Harris' empty platitudes in her ad. Yes, Tulsi was anti-LGBTQ for a time but she seems to have changed her stance on that now.

Knowing her vile past, as a bisexual guy I see no issue with "smearing" her or rather by making it come to light. Yeah - I don't want somebody with a past history of being tied to conversion "torture" anywhere near the white house and hopefully/GOD willing that'll end her campaign.

Well, the degree to which she is actually a progressive candidate is what he's calling into question.

The likelier chance a Democrat candidate has of winning the angrier MAGAts get. When the media hyped and teased Oprah running, they were ranting and raving about it. I just wish we get that same reaction to someone actually competent.

Beto and Harris seem to have riled them up the most. Look at any article online that mentions Beto and it's all "He's a loser, LOL" and "He has a fake name". Harris is even worse, with them dredging up past relationships and straight up calling her a prostitute.

 

[Sithborg]

Well, Beto ****ing terrifies them. Because if the GOP loses Texas, they lose power.

I voted for him.

Oh, sweet summer child. Do you not know who Trump is? He is going to continue to mock her.

 

[Lighthouse]

I never had any doubt he would. Still good that she recognized and tried to rectify.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

She finally did the right thing. Good.

 

[Lily Adler]

As someone who hasn't been keeping up with the details, is she or isn't she?

The DNA said she has the ancestry, but of course, it is minimal. And really, that was never the point.

Ah. Well it's good she apologized then. I read a very lengthy piece about the situation.on the Huffington Post that confused me.

That sounds about right. I read some articles over there I know all the info about, and still come out confused.

 

[Teelie]

I have a similar story in my family of a not-too-distant relative who was Native American but I never used it to any advantage (or ever mention it outside of ancestry questions as a possibility) and never bothered to find out if it was actually true.

It's good she apologized but she should never have used it in the first place as some kind of political tool.

 

[MaceB]

I was recently dating someone, and her mother swore that she had Native American ancestry. Her father had a tribal number, and she grew up hearing stories about distant Native American relatives. Her kids wanted her to shut up about it, so they gifted her with one of those DNA tests. And........ no Native American heritage whatsoever. So, it can happen.

After what happened this week is it really smart for the Dems to be dressed in all white?

It's to honor the suffragette movement. And it will send a stark message on camera.

It did. Trump didn't even see it. But it's obvious Nancy Pelosi knows.

Look how many are in white on the Dem side vs on the Rep side.

 

[Teelie]

Trump would be obtuse to what that meant. But he's obtuse about everything.

 

[Sithborg]

And Warren's run is going to be over before it really even begun. Good news for Bernie, I guess.

She listed race as American Indian on a Texas Bar directory. Tosses a lot of her claims into question.

 

[MaceB]

That's stupid, but yeah... she's done.

 

[Teelie]

Had Warren not tried to use this as some kind of political tool she would be in a much better position.
