the one i disliked almost as much as beto was the ohio “working class” guy.

sure his message was valid and important, but his body language screamed “repressed rage” ha ha ha. i dont even know his name, but he was wound tight as fuck. sure voted most likely to go postal in high school.

Tim Ryan? I had to watch a clip to remind myself who he was but yeah. Wasn't sure if it was repressed rage but he definitely looked uncomfortable as fuck. which made me feel uncomfortable watching him, to the point of almost feeling sorry for him. He was who Gabbard seemed to score most points off.

... but I don't see any of them as potential nominees. The pundits I'm reading over here seem to think it'll come down to Biden v Sanders.

yeah that one. prolly nursing a hemorrhoid or something.

biden v sanders is the clear contest, the debates are really a race for vp, at least right now

e.g. sanders-warren might be a “natural” pairing, they’re compatible

biden otoh might wanna get someone to complement his “old white maleness,” like, say— harris.

beto can be court jester :D

and yeah im hotlinking from breitbart :fuckyou: :D

I mean, if the US win at least she will. Still, go Netherlands!

I saw Tulsi Gabbard talk at a rally a couple of years ago and I thought she was impressive. I would be happy to see her as VP. Or Warren.

What I really want though is for AOC to by be installed as dictator for life ✊

T&B has the right idea.

Wouldn't mind a Bernie-Warren or Bernie-Tulsi ticket. Sounds quite good. I'd prefer Tulsi because she's stronger on foreign policy than Bernie so he would need someone who knows more in that area.

A Bernie-Warren ticket just doubles up on the same base. Tulsi would extend it into areas that I think neither Bernie or Warren could reach, either apart or together.

Yeah i think Bernie Tulsi is better, and then Warren should run in 2024 (Bernie does 4 years then retires). AOC will then take over from Warren and be declared dictator for life and then clone herself for eternity.

Elon Musk needs to get a move on with his SpaceX programme, cos I wanna be as far away from the action as possible if AOC gets anywhere near the White House.

What's your beef with Cortez?

I'm not evading the question, I just really don't know where to start. I honestly wonder if I've ever seen a more ill-informed politician in my life. Maybe Sarah Palin ... maybe. Every time AOC opens her mouth about anything I just get the impression she really really doesn't have the 1st clue what she's talking about.

...and yet she's already setting herself up for her eventual presidency. She's charismatic, knows her way around the media, and has a stack of fans (some of whom are on board with her politics, some of whom are just thirsty [yes, this is a subpost]).

Seriously? Have we been watching the same person speak? To me, AOC seemed pretty damn well-informed so far. She's invigorating, charismatic and quite obviously a fighter. She's already proved that when she beat Crowley. And given the sometimes petty and unsubstantiatedly hostile coverage she gets, she's had some awesome comebacks and sick burns. AOC has a bright future ahead of her. I don't know if this will ever lead to the presidency(preconceived notions and unfavorable characterization tend to stick sometimes, unfortunately), one can dream though. Either way, she's gotten far already and will get even further in her career.

lol i guess you’ve never heard of one donald j. trump

i mean...

when he says that china or mexico pays/will pay tariffs (that seems to have calmed down but i’m waiting for his next tweet to destrablize things).... is that pig ignorance? or shameless lie?

I'm never gonna say Trump doesn't have a limited grasp of world politics but I wouldn't even put him in the same league as AOC

because...?

(and it’s not just “world politics”)

Definitely not.

She's streets ahead of Mad Donald ;)
