2020 Democratic Nomination Process Mega-thread

[HI54UNI]

The gaffemaster has now said that China is a not a threat. He also is going with the Mondale strategy of promising to raise taxes. He's only been in a week. No way he can make it another year without completely shooting himself in the foot.

FIFY

"flip flopped" is purely partisan. Are we saying a person can't change their opinion or perspective? Or later regret a decision?

Sure you can changed your mind - its a free country. But changing tour mind on numerous issues and regretting numerous decisions for political reasons to to be woke based on what’s trendy doesn’t make you not a flip flopper.

Oh. Like Republicans flip flopping on family values and crime by electing an adulterer and someone who boasts about sexual assaulting women.

Got it. Thanks BDK


The GOP has no room to talk about Biden when their President is on the record, bragging about sexual assaulting women.

It doesn't matter if somebody changes their mind...
the question is - does he have it correct now..?

Why people act like changing your mind based on new information is a bad thing ?

WTF?

Actually ... in all seriousness-

I don’t believe retail politicians when they publicly change their minds

they might be sincere, but it is very hard to know. Given that the path to greatest reward for a politician is to point to the popular wind, there is a nearly irresistible temptation there and there are precious few of them who do resist it

Biden wants to be President. Just like he wanted to be a VP and a Senator. He changed all of his positions precisely when it would have cost him politically not to do so.

Biden is in good company. I can name only two or three 20th century national politicians who I would consider to have strength of honest convictions. He isn’t one of them.

But you’re right .... for those of us who aren’t trying to get at least 90 million people to vote for us, changing one’s mind is a good thing if you wind up in the right place

Things I’ve changed my mind on:

Capital punishment
State socialism
Abraham Lincoln
toilet paper roll orientation
James Carter (the saxophonist not the President)
Need based public assistance
pistols
dog meat

Trut so pure.

I used to be a hard-liner on toilet paper roll orientation but now I realize that its relative to whether or not there is a cat around.

Me too until we went to these in the 90's like any sensible upright walking human being.



Since then, it hasn't really mattered much.

Both parties have plenty of examples of extreme hypocrisy. I'd like to think some of that is just due to the duopoly and the big tent idea of both parties, but of course some of it does come down to people themselves and being okay with whatever as long as they win at the ballot box.

[ALPHAGRIZ1]

I'm still not sure that is uniformly a bad thing..?
Regardless of trendiness or whatever

as long as whoever it is ultimately gets it right what's the difference..?
The Republicans are flip flopping on Marijuana

The act of thinking and postulating should be fluid
too many people are married to bad ideas

accepting new data and informing yourself should never be seen as bad

It’s not.

While the left is guilty of being wushu washy, the very DNA of a conservative is to never admit you’re wrong and take that shit to the grave.

Both mindsets have their advantages.

You are wrong

See, I don't see it that way. I'm trying to get you to explain how it's good for your guy but not for another. I didn't say, " But Trump!". I compared him to someone.

But I know the answer - it's hypocrisy. Partisan hypocrisy.


And I pretty much agree with Cid on his analysis. If Biden was any other person, he'd be ok to change his mind. But b/c he's a politician, his changing views are suspect (and may he is changing with the times or with the trends).


But hey - good job at defending Trump. Keep sucking his tiny dick. Who gets to get pegged by him tonight? You or AlphaGriz?

So pointing out Biden's flip flopping on numerous issues is sucking Trump's dick. Umm, ok..
And how would you know about Trump's dick size?

See the pattern and the irony? Anyone who overlooked Trump's "indescrections" has given up the moral high ground to criticize Biden's.

You're continued stance and support of him is sucking his dick.

accepting new data and informing yourself should never be seen as bad

The fluid thinking and postulating the Groper is doing is how does he reconcile his old votes with the current left democrat primary electorate. Its not due to some personal enlightenment at a very old age.

If there was a mythical centrist party that Crazy Uncle Joe was running for, Anita Hill would still be lying, bussing would still be bad, being tough on crime would still be ok, etc, etc..

The only new data he’s concerned about informing himself with is poll data to dictate how which issues he needs to flip flop on...

those are all ^ interesting perspectives
So you're implying that changing your opinion is bad when it's to strengthen your collective electorate

Trump is the King of the flipper floppers. He's probably done multiples in 24 hour period.
