I was oddly fine with the campaign she ran, misogyny just boiled over and pretty much any dem was going to get ambushed. Plus, she was driving uphill the entire way with "WILL THIS OLD LADY THAT FAINTS EVER RELEASE HER EMAILS?!?!?!" 24/7 while Trump got constant free publicity, including about his lovely hotel

Why are you fine with the worst campaign in history?

I was gonna make a joke about 'parts unknown' possibly including the US so he's valid but apparently he was billed as from Uganda, the real rear end country of real rear end people being represented by 'the wild savage'.

John Kerry was still about a trillion times more sincere of a candidate than the lady who thought she deserved the Presidency as a career achievement award

Oh, that's why I said "In a not 'well bush is gonna gently caress us' context". Like, if you were voting in the primary would you pick Kerry as choice #1?

I wasn't politically active then tbh other than hating Bush. One guy mentioned that Kerry was more leftist than Wesley Clark. I heard good things about Dean, too.

Also, much like Clinton's candidacy, my undying hatred for the right and their constant attacks on him galvanized my support for him further.

Dean is so tragic, apparently if you were there in person it was a totally appropriate noise he made but for whatever reason the way it got recorded made it sound super duper funny and his entire campaign got torpedoed by a meme

Holder just got hired by California to help strategize with Becerra on how to fight the Trump admin in court. Pretty much anyone involved in that fight, and Kamala by proxy, are gonna have serious national profiles in 3 years from now.

pre-scream dean was probably the best democratic candidate we've had run in the past 20 years besides obama, and if he got elected, was probably better from a policy standpoint too.

There's some in and around Burlington, but yeah otherwise we're pretty spread out/empty. Plus you gotta like winter a lot; my parents got about 2 feet of snow in yesterday's blizzard.

Ballmer was by all accounts bad at his job and should have never been put in charge of the company in the first place (he was good at business but knew nothing about computers), but it sure was good for a hoot and a half, huh?

I still don't believe making a weird noise on camera because he was so high-energy is what actually killed the Dean campaign, I think it was just our old enemy rearing its head again: old, "pragmatic," old, old Dem primary voters picking the person who has the most lines on their resume and doesn't have any ideas that are scary to the post-middle-aged brain

Again, Dean was already in serious decline when that moment happened. Him coming off as a bit of a spaz made entertaining TV but he was a dead letter well before it happened.
