the comments from the trump supporters are pretty instructive. they are freaking out and blindsided and warning democrats not to support or vote for her.

translation: that means support and vote for her.

Wow President Ocasio!

Her victory just shows how down ticket and primary battles might be easier for Berniecrats to win since you only need to convince a few thousand more people to vote.

You have to be relentless, you have to fight to take over every office at every level

You have to consider not just legislative offices but things like attorney general

You have to fight against bad gerrymandering, and push for alternate voting methods like Ranked Choice, or even better a score voting method like STAR voting

I think Bernie is right to call for civility, on a purely strategic level. There's a lot of political violence going on, and if Bernie says "gently caress em' up!" and somebody kills a Republican congressman, 2020 will have blanket ads showing bernie saying gently caress 'em up, smash cut to a crying widow

Again, none of these people calling for civility to genocide architects has to actually say anything about it, they can very easily just not scold anyone.

Well at the very least in order to get power you must get rid of both bad dems and GOP candidates especially on the downticket.

Obama failed as a leader since he didn't seem to care about the GOP capturing a majority of the downticket wins during his presidency.

I loved things like the town hall roasts just as much as anyone but the real goal is to get such people completely removed from power.

exactly. and if you actually listen to what Waters said, she's pretty drat :decorum: herself. she says, basically, don't serve [Nazis], don't make them "feel welcome".

why is that controversial? how can anyone be in favor of serving Nazis?

If Bloomberg ran, he might basically fill Perot's role from 92, splitting the conservative vote and giving the Dems an easy plurality win.

Holy :lol: if you think Bloomberg would attract millions of "never Trump" votes, or that such votes even exist

the exact opposite would happen, he'd split the Democrats

I think that never Trump votes do exist, but I don't think Bloomberg would get them. Nor will any Democrat nominee no matter how hard right they go. Those people will just stay home.

Delaware voted +25 for Obama in 2008, and +15 for Clinton in 2016. Senator Carper, despite his very comfortable Democratic cushion here, voted against Medicare for All, refuses to support any bills increasing the minimum wage, voted to dismantle Dodd-Frank, and voted for Secretary Nielsen. Carper was so scared of facing any anger for his vote for Nielsen that he dropped out of an ACLU invitation to speak at a Keep Families Together rally in Dover today, so instead, the ACLU invited Kerri.

Delaware is also the number #1 haven for US corporate tax evasion due to lax laws for things like like shell corporations.
