She already did that when she published that test though.

The best is when I was outprocessing in 2009 and one of the last stops is a talk to a retainment officer, who gave me the "if you get out now without going guard or reserve at the least you might get recalled blah blah" talk.

"Ok, out of curiosity what do I need to do to get to an SF national guard unit?"

"Oh, they're already over strength. In fact almost everything in the national guard is full, as well as the reserves"

"...oh."

I didn't sweat getting recalled too much.

I am annoyed by the cult of objectivity and how it means a lot of media says that unless they extensively report on Warren's "likeability" and charisma, they are being too biased in her behalf. But repeating over and over in headlines that she's not likeable pushes people not to like her!

Yeah same. I think Warren could be a good president and I like her policies so far based on what she's advocated in the senate.

Is she actually good? Everything I've read from her (with the context that she was in the GOP until the mid 90s) looks like pretty classical liberal stuff and I don't really have any faith she's radical enough to fix what's hosed up in this country BUT I am also not the best informed

I voted for her once (and would have again if I voted in MA in 2018), and have been generally happy with her performance. She is generally pro-consumer protection, and pro worker, and has worked to limit corporate influence at the SEC. She's good. Just...own goaled herself so hard she's lucky she's not Columbian.

10,000 YEARS WASN'T ENOUGH LURKING

facialimpediment posted:

Don't handwring too much about the Pocahontas bullshit. Now that Trump has been President for a few years, and actually has done dumb stuff as President, it's a hell of a lot easier to counter. Plus, he tried to nationalize the 2018 and lost badly.

"WHY WOULD YOU LISTEN TO POCAHONTAS ABOUT ANYTHING"

"Well, as President, you said you would take on Wall Street, but instead, your administration is full of Wall Streeters. Oh, and the stock market is worse than under Obama."

"BUT WHAT DO YOU KNOW POCAHONTAS"

"Well I know your tax cut got a billionaire $1 million and a regular worker $100"

Not saying that Warren is the best, just don't assume that she'll turn into a corn cob immediately. Not to mention if the Pocahontas poo poo becomes standard messaging, I GUARANTEE someone in the Republican establishment will say some racist garbage and accelerate things.

A lot of this depends on how the media reports it.

Ok I just popped some vyvanse so buckle up

Warren is pretty decent policy wise. She isn't full socialism now but is willing to use taxes on capitalism to meet some of the goals of socialism. She is old but she'll be under 80 at the end of her possibly 8 years if elected in 2020. She is also a democrat which means the moneybags in the democratic party can't pull the "well bernie isnt' REALLY a democrat" because while that thinking is lovely bernie WAS an outsider because while he always worked with democrats and was never really involved with the internal workings of the party.

I'm afraid she'll be easy to dunk on though. No matter how good you can debate, trump is gonna go "nuh huh you're wrong pocahantas!!" and if you have someone that is just gonna respond meekly or whatever it was hillary did.

What is more important in my opinion is that the democratic party has someone vocally calling out succ dems and pushing hard for minimum wages, healthcare, weed etc and that person doesn't have to necessarily be the president. If AOC and Pelosi start pushing agenda hard then you really just need a democrat that is going to simply not veto it.

So to conclude you need 1) a democrat to vocally push for universal healthcare etc and 2) a dem presidential nominee that won't veto it 3) a dem presidential nominee that can be a rude boy to trump when needed 4) a dem presidential nominee that won't get brain worms during their (hopefully) 8 years in office

I'm genuinely interested if Kamala Harris can clear the primary or not.

In the general, her copitude could be just the thing to go against government corruption. In the primary though, she might need to make with the lockerups to make up for her copification.
