I also don't see a problem with donating vs. vulnerable national Republicans in other states because the Senate majority matters if you live in NY or CA too. Now if they were dumping money in Lupe's coffers... Also:  Ol' liberal Longview at it again.

Kay Bailey Hutchison he was actually in the early stages of a run for the presidency. I'm surprised that the fact that he clearly has no interest in serving as a senator beyond a stepping stone to the White House isn't more of a problem for people  hahah Yes the problems in Venezuela commonly known to be caused by lack of respect for police and dope dealers zoux fucked around with this message at 21:18 on Oct 18, 2018 |

The money coming from elsewhere isn't necessarily "Yankee carbetbaggers" or something. People I grew up with in Texas are putting money in the race even though they live elsewhere (including me). I feel like a former Texan living in some other state can have legit interests in the race. Also gently caress this line of thought anyway. Ted Cruz sets policy for the whole nation. People in Maine should loving hate Ted Cruz as much as Texans do.

Reads post, looks at user name. Yup checks out. Seriously, Beto was one of the first to come out and call for Impeachment proceedings against Trump, Notice that he never denied it in the debate? He's in favor of Universal Healthcare (note not coverage but healthcare). He pays lipservice to bipartisanship but he also pushes solid progressive left policies. And he's got charisma in spades, and don't discount the value of that when it comes to both winning the election and getting poo poo done. Also he won't have the same tired old bluedog thirdway triangulating DLC infested congress that Obama was stuck with, he'll have the new more progressive gently caress  Democrats that are running today and in 2020 or 2024 2030 or whenever.There isn't anyone else on the national stage that has that special thing that makes for unstoppable candidates, the only real question is whether he wins the Senate seat because if he does he probably won't run in 2020 given that he seems like the kind of guy to actually keep his word on something. If he doesn't win it would be stupid of the Democratic Party to not take advantage of the energy and enthusiasm that he's generating. Finally why does everyone dogging on Obama forget about the most loving important part of what limited what he could accomplish. He was the first black President, He wasn't going to be able to be loving firebrand the backlash was bad enough as it was. I swear to god some of you Dems are bad folks are as bad as the Republicans with the whole pretending that just because Obama was elected racism doesn't matter any more.

If he had put the bankers in jail for fraud, bailed out homeowners instead of Wall Street, and acted like he gave a drat if a real public option passed (eg not the lovely House public option which wouldn't have done anything and was killed anyway), and spent his time stumping for union rights rather than marketing another lovely trade deal this would be a different America. Like if he'd just acted like he believed 10% of what he said on the campaign trail.

No one is talking about him as some sort of savior, but he is to powerful an asset not to take advantage of. The Dems are bad brigade is constantly going on about wanting candidates who have good policies and willing to fight for them, yet anytime one comes along who might you just automatically assume that they are a super secret bluedog. Give me a loving break, yeah Beto uses polite language but he is running a openly progressive campaign in loving Texas and doing so competitively. You finally get what for all we can tell is a legitimately good Democrat but that's not good enough for you, you have to start attacking imagined future betrayals.

Someone who has a long record of consistently advocating and voting for good things, not just someone who gives a nice speech about hope n change with a bunch of vague platitudes and lip service on issues they adopted 5 minutes before running. Because that's the lesson we learned from electing Obama. The only politician I'm aware of with that kind of record is Bernard Sanders of Vermont, then there's a 2-generation shitlib gap, then Ocasio-Cortez who isn't eligible until 2024.

"We're not buying a second home anytime soon" and complaining Ted only makes 174,00 a year how tone deaf is she to the currently political climate. This did nothing but make Ted Cruz look and sound like even more of an rear end. Like she sounds ready to divorce him it's awful. CelestialScribe posted:Ocasio-Cortez as president would be a disaster. If we keep pulling left buy the time she's eligible to run it won't be.

I don't have to imagine future betrayals, he's already tacked to the center. In the primary he talked about Medicare-for-All, now check out his site: quote:Steps that we should take together to transform healthcare include: "incentivizing insurers" (lol insurers don't want to participate in underserved counties, covering the poor and the sick is a money-loser, so we give them more free money and then pretend like we just don't understand why they're paying themselves bonuses instead of spending it on the unprofitable sick people) A "public option", no details given (the last public option was deliberately engineered to be worse than private insurance so private companies could """compete on a level playing field""") United States of Care bullshit about getting to UHC ~somehow~ ie in a way that preserves private profit. Nothing about guaranteeing healthcare as a fundamental right, just the hope that it will be as affordable as possible, in other words means-testing, benefit cliffs, insurance companies loving over the most lucrative customers. He's already triangulating away the most popular issue in the primaries, despite Medicare-for-All being overwhelmingly popular in Texas and among both parties, and he hasn't even been elected.
