in the current context of no-cash-bail and the progressive movement,

this one politician "once" pushed to INCREASE bail.

SO SHE IS CANCELLED

Truly, frenz, this is her Ralph Northam moment.

In a post 1964 world, why should someone even think about increased bail, ever, if not to serve the New Jim Crow state?

Harris sucks, you don’t need to prostrate yourself defending an awful former AG from her awful decisions.

If posters ITT can justify 2nd picking Williamson even if she might be anti-vax, then I can justify her having a boring bail opinion ~at some point in the past~ (I cannot stress enough how lazy and loving stupid it is to link the screenshot of a headline) for my 3rd choice.

Do you actually have any positives for your third choice or are you just trying to rationalize accepting lovely people

Cause 3rd choice in any normal primary would be some drat faint praise

It's faint praise in this primary. I don't anticipate ever having to vote for her, though I prefer her of the centrists in the crowded field.

The strongest argument that can be made for Franken is he's on the Biden-end of the creep scale, not the Trump-end.

Which is a preeeeeeeeeeetty lovely argument.

*looks at Biden, Buttigeig, Booker and Beto*

Biden's a creep with no idea what the current democratic base wants. Buttigieg is a political novice who's political height at this point is mayor of a college town. Booker has some problematic alliances with defense contractors and charter schools. Beto is a 3rd way shithead who thinks we can heal the country by participating in dialogue and finding common ground with republicans.

I guess you could cram some other candidates into this category and tell me they're better? I'm not really putting a ton of thought into my ~3rd choice~ and I'm not sure why you'd put a ton of effort into making me.

This seems accurate, assuming that SSHB is Buttergreg (really it's all the centrist candidates)

She should've refused to raise the debt ceiling until the camps were closed but that would require some moral clarity and a loving spine.

There's lots of good reasons. Increasing name recognition for future races, running for a cabinet position, they think it'll go down to a brokered convention where who the gently caress knows what will happen, they're having an affair and need an excuse to be away from home, they're lonely, etc.

There's also literally no downside. For the 2018 cycle, Seth Moulton raised 2.3 million for his congressional run overall. Right now he is sitting at 1.9 million for the presidency. Worst case scenario he transfers over his money from his failed presidential campaign into his congressional run.
