What CID said, and I'll add to that.

I also like that he seems to mostly avoid "SJW" talking points such as the "equal pay for equal work" canard and the idea being black and poor is different than being white and poor because of what happened 200 years ago. I also doubt you'll hear him suggest that monitoring 4chan for the next Dylan Roof is going to be more important than monitoring Islamist groups just because it's been a while since we had a 9/11.

You might say he's the first serious "Intellectual Dark Web" candidate. He's more Sam Harris or Bill Maher type of lefty, and I'll take that over Trump, a neocon, or for damn sure a wokescold.

I would vote for Yang if he were the nominee. He’s like this cycle’s Jim Webb.
Except he won't pussy out and close up shop before a vote is cast.

This came across my FB timeline. Interesting in that the image shows Harris but no Bernie (the Democratic establishment and media might still just have teentsie weentsie bias towards him :lol: ).

Then note the first reply. I responded with "ageist, racist, and sexist all in one post. good job!"

Webb would make a good solid staff guy, but he is, or certainly was, anyway, a bit parochial in his outlook to lead a diverse nation. Women can't fight? Really? :roll:

Don't doubt the establisment's and the media's aversion to Bernie - I've seen things like that for the past year on my FB feed and Bernie is never promoted in anyway whatsoever. The only certainty I have is that Bernie will never win the Democratic nomination - that will never be allowed to happen.

With that said, I think Warren is pretty much Bernie-lite and she could win. And I kinda like Buttigeg and Yang - if you could combine the former's everyperson appeal with the latter's intelligence you'd have one heck of a candidate.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not throwing him in the same circle of stupid that say, a Beto lives in. I just put Yang that much further ahead of him, that's all I'm saying.

Allow me to lump you, klam, and houndawg all in together

I’ll call you three the Cunt Club

It’s exclusive!

I’ll leave Webb’s war record out of this

He’s a western VA Scots Irish and you midwesterners who fancy yourselves as hardscrabble only live out there because Webb’s and my ancestors drove your soft-handed ancestors in that direction like panicked cattle

Yeah, I just mean it sounds like you already think Buttigieg is a good candidate. If so, I agree. I might vote for him.

What war? The Civil War where the folks in western VA, you know, formed "West Virginia" and fought for the Union? :coffee:

What imaginary war would you be referring to, Reek?

Why do you stalk me so?

:suspicious: WTF does that have to do with anything? The dude is a creep. I don't throw around the word misogynist often, but he most definitely is one. Perhaps you were abroad when he ran for office in 2006, but I was shocked that he won.

The same western Virginia Cid was alluding to and Webb's family is from. Not what became West Virginia.

And that is a good thing. He never was a Democrat, he is a Socialist, at least Warren claims to be a Dem, even though she is probably as much as a Socialist as Bernie.

Geez, dude, get a grip -its not like he's the only misogynistic creep from western VA. We thank him for his service and all, but, still, at the same time- :roll:
