Do us all a favor, JSO, we don’t need you to publish a book each time you post. Brevity is sweet.

Does any rational person really like Trump? (Like is not the same as voting for him).

Kamala Harris taking some flak basically for being a prosecutor and doing and saying things that get DAs reelected.

I'm going to enjoy watching the Who-Was-The-Most-Woke-When Olympics very much.

Other than being a white male, he ticks a ton of boxes when it comes to identity politics. It'll be interesting if he gets any traction - he has some potential backing from Obama in his pocket, curious if he's able to generate any following in what's sure to be a crowded field. The fact that he's not of Washington in any shape or form is interesting.

He is a white male under 70 though.

Yes, he ticks the youth box as well. But yes, under 70 should really be a requirement in at least the next election. I'm growing weary of the old folks (and in some cases really old - i.e. over 80) occupying so much of the government, especially the leadership roles. I'm not really getting the wisdom vibe from many of them that you would hope old age would be indicative.

Interesting candidate - optimistic, not really controversial, and the GOP reaction was a bit surprising that they reacted at all

maybe they see him as a serious candidate

The fact you feel the need to point out his sexual persuasion says sooooo much about you...you want true equality? Nobody gives two shits who he fucks—yet people like YOU keep bringing it up like its somehow important.

Where does he stand on the WALL. That’s what I want to know...

No worse than any of the other ones, he does lack familiarity, so he really needs to get his name out there to have a chance. Other than being gay, what is known about him policy wise?

Fauxcahontas was feeling a bit left behind by Kamala Harris, so she just proposed a 2% wealth tax on the 1%'ers.

See, this is how the Democrats might still snatch defeat from the jaws of victory next year.

Get ready, because you’re going to see every leftist, marxist idea in the book advocated in the next 1.5 years during the donk primaries, which will be the most left ever. . Like I said in the conk nomination thread.

Sure, if the donks didn't nominate whoever is the most kook leftist. But whatever donk wins the nomination is going to have to go so far kook left to win the nomination, they'll likely be too far left to win the general, whether or not Trump runs.

Let’s take just one of the progressive pie in the sky wish list items - Medicare for All (instead of all of them)....

Let’s make it debt-neutral (instead if the usual “... and I’ll make China pay for it!”)

And let’s put an 80% tax on the 1%ers to pay for it

How much does that lower the necessary *significant* tax hike on people in the middle class?

(that’s a rhetorical question.. I already know the answer)
