Both

He's a proto-berniebro (Circa 2000) and at the same time only slightly viable due to butt memes.

Nobody should toxx for him to win the position of DNC chair.

But he seems like a promising young politician in a time when we need many more of those than we have.

The only good thing about him is he's got a name with the word Butt in it. That's the entire reason why goons pretend to love him

To be clear, it is both true that Butt Jedi seems like a decent progressive politician and that this thread would unironically rally behind Paul Ryan if he changed his name to Piss McBallserson.

Buttigieg 2 was ok and a bit flashier than the first one because of the bigger budget they had, but it just didn't have the heart of Buttigieg 1

Throwing her off the cliff? Sure I'm in, though I'm not sure what the context is.

The New York Times Op-ed just basically regurgitates Ellison's talking point about Obama Obama Trump voters. I don't see what's wrong in that, it's not about pandering, it's about focusing on a positive economic message for the working class.

Has Keith lost the grace of C-SPAM or something, not sure why someone would toxx for Bottomgeiger otherwise unless they were playing the long con for an eventual Deez Nuts/Butt presidential run

Progressives taking over those 40% of the districts would be so preferable to the people the democrats have now from those districts/states.

Also, I don't even know how much of what you're saying matters. You're right that our electoratal system sucks, but what that seems to mean is that organization and institutional support seems to matter more than what the country / district actually wants. I mean, the tea party pushed the country waaaaay far too the right and they are a negligable percentage of the population.

the tea party didn't do poo poo except convince Republicans that voters don't care how "respectable" their candidate acts (and they were right)

punk rebel ecks posted:

Buttigieg is legitimately cool and good

he's a solid progressive who believes strongly that the party should be run from the bottom up by organizing the grassroots rather than having an array of Washington centrists dictating policy and messaging

and unlike anyone with a chance of winning, he doesn't have strong establishment backing

I hate to bring up 2020 again but does anyone know anything about what kind of presidential candidate Ed Murray (Seattle's mayor) would be? He's certainly making headlines but I don't know if white male West Coast Democrats are the kind of demographic the party wants to embrace at this point.

I think the Democrats need to nominate a war hero with an independent streak for 2020 to counteract Trump's tough guy image, someone with Constitutional bona fides to draw in moderates uneasy with Trump's authoritarian instincts.
