The Democrat Primary Race Is Filling Up

[Ingomike]

Deval Patrick just made it official. He's jumped in.

Will he qualify to make the debate stage? Now there are two trying to get the not quite so crazy Biden voters with Bloomberg and trying to make the stage with poll numbers and donations.

 

[Leadeye]

He's what they are looking for, somebody who the lefties can at least vote for that big money knows will deal. Maybe a combination with Mayor Pete if Hillary stays out, but she would carry more of the left.

My personal opinion is that he's WAY too late to the party.

If he had been among the first few, then some of the ancillary people probably wouldn't have joined the fray. (Not the band.) I'm not really sure if he'll tack away from the all-socialism winds, but he'd be wise to do so. But that just puts him in the same bucket as Buttigieg.

No no no... it’s not socialism, you need a new word. Apparently we are already socialists.

The trajectory of our society is heading that way (along with most of the "western world"), so you're not wrong about that.

But, I spent a few years paying quite a bit of money to know what the word means (along with a bunch of other words, like "student loan forebearance") and I'm pretty sure I'm using it correctly.

When did Trannys (of any color) become the "Backbone of Our Democracy"?

 

[bwframe]

The most divisive president in modern history has been a black man. Sadly, I don't think that America, as a whole, will forget that for some time.

I'll wait around to be called a racist...


...again...

I'm not so sure about him being way too late. I don't get the feeling that D voters are particularly excited by the group of D candidates.

The difference is, under socialism everyone would have to work to receive any benefits.

These democrats don't want socialism, they want a welfare state. Furthermore, they want a welfare state established based on racial preference. And in large part, they already have created it.
That's why I like Yang's concept, at least with it they can't manipulate it for vote farming minorities and attempting to create class warfare.

Liz is spiraling off the island.

 

[JettaKnight]

When did Trannys (of any color) become the "Backbone of Our Democracy"?

Since there's 17 candidates and every single vote counts...

 

[Alpo]

There are only 16 trannies in Des Moines. Some candidate ain't gonna git one.

Hey, there is hope that mikechele will enter the race...

 

[DoggyDaddy]

That's a fact.

Is it a fact, or a false statement of fact? Oh wait. Wrong thread.

 

[GodFearinGunTotin]

That seems like some oddly specific knowledge.

 

[Alpo]

Or a joke that the literalists might miss entirely.

Hmmmm?

 

[actaeon277]

Oh. Okay. So basically the base is going to laugh him off the stage, then feel white guilt for doing it.

Or, call him "right wing"

Pete Buttigieg establishes clear lead in Iowa, new poll shows

 

[PistolBob]

In my view the bottom line is this: Vote for Trump, or vote for socialism.
