One of the cool things about Gabbard is that she's actually won several competitive races, often against presumptively favored opponents. In short, she can actually campaign and win supporters.

Condiv posted:that guy is high up at the NYT? They literally only understand identity politics. The idea that a black man named Obama might appeal to rural folks in the rust belt is beyond them, despite the past 8 years actually happening. In their current state of pain and confusion, they are incapable of processing data and are relying on their mess of preconceptions.

Larry Parrish posted:*stares at the record low number of votes in 2016* what we need is a candidate who's only inspiring feature is their skin color or chromosome arrangement there was not a record low number of votes this year. the media reported a record low because our journalists are ignorant hacks who compared the certified final total vote from prior years to the preliminary November 9th vote this year, which did not include some 7 million absentee and provisional ballots yet to be counted

MaxxBot posted:I dunno, I don't think it shows integrity for someone who opposes gay marriage and doesn't think gays are oppressed in America to hide behind MY 100% HRC RATING like that means anything. Pretending to fight for lgbt rights despite one's long-standing opposition to gay marriage definitely earns a 100% Hillary Rodham Clinton rating lol

logikv9 posted:he's not the progressive hero that people itt want, and the reason he's so well liked is because for the last 8 years we haven't really heard his policy positions, only that he's chill and cool hes legitimately too old to be our first option now, just like sanders he'd still probably be able to beat trump, though!

Agean90 posted:Trump got less votes than Romney, trump didn't win the election, Hillary lost it by loving it up on drat near every level. Yes trump did do some things right, but to copy everything he did is lazy and will accomish nothing. Trump received more votes than Romney. There were a wave of lovely articles making wild claims about votes and turnout. Most of the authors forgot that absentee ballots are still being counted because they are incompetent hacks.

Eugenics traces it's origin to the study of evolutionary science. With that in mind, I think we can easily conclude that evolution, science, and anything that developed from either is evil. Checkmate. *Slams face against red-hot waffle iron*

Fulchrum posted:Wow, you sure managed to show us that a simplistic black and white way of thinking where everything good comes from one place is sensible, by pointing out how dumb it sounds when you claim everything evil comes from it instead. Again, you're doing the fishmech thing where you ascribe wild claims to another poster without even the slimmest justification. It's pathetic. Aren't you ashamed of yourself?

Fulchrum posted:You know, gently caress it, this might be entertaining. Let's see if you can justify that the state children's healthcare insurance program is actually all thanks to Elizabeth Warren or something, and that the eeeeevil Hillary and Ted Kennedy both tried to destroy it to feast on children's souls or some poo poo. You're making up the opposing arguments in your head. You're deranged.

financially racist posted:how about no Hillary-aligned talking heads have been trying to shank her with things like this ever since she endorsed Sanders. All the Dems stood up and clapped for Trump when he walked into the room, when he mentioned protecting Israel, etc., but apparently Tulsi also clapped for something else? Oh no! Meanwhile she's anti-PATRIOT Act, pro-legalization, pro-refugee, green, etc. etc. She supports cuts to military spending but still maintains the reputation of a veteran with the pro-military types. Of course liberals hate her, she could actually win something.

zegermans posted:loving Clinton's incompetence saddled us with the horrifying specter of the Trump presidency! Our only hope is to swing haaaard left, and nominate his biggest fan in the entire Democratic house. Today she called for Sessions to resign. She's no Manchin, Heitkamp, Donnelly, or even Feinstein. Also, she's not actually close to the best pick/first pick to run in 2020, FWIW. And she has dumb views on GMOs and probably some other hippie stuff. But she's not a warmonger by any goddamn measure except to the most bitter primary war saltines. Vox Nihili has issued a correction as of 06:24 on Mar 4, 2017 |
