He's a fukking idiot
Bernie should just create a new party instead of running under the Democrat umbrella, the reason the democrats are so fukking ineffective is because they aren't progressive enough, they don't offer anything that Republicans can't get from their own candidates. Polling has consistently shown even fox news Republicans support Medicare for all.
I swear to christ a moderate dem is going to fukking eat shyt running against Trump
i saw he was married to that Guilfoyle woman who just left Fox News. Thats crazy.
But I agree with your overall point. Democrats are just way too corporate. And they don't campaign well.
Biden hasn't done a damn thing since 2016. For him to come and run for 2020 is bullshyt
Kamala Harris is a fake progressive and with Nap calling "white resentment", clearly by his own logic, she wouldn't take the rust belt from Trump.
Booker and Gilibrand arent winning. They fukking suck
Warren has been hella disappointing since 2016. But I would vote for her because she's 50/50 corporate
If Bernie ran again I would vote for him but if he sits this out, I'd have to see who he is gonna get behind.
But really, it's a sorry fukking list so far. None of these people are exciting like Obama was
the current Democratic Party has literally NO MESSAGE. No ideas they can point to and say "this is what we are for. No exceptions." Damn fukking shame. In the era of Trump, they're showing how ineffective they are.
Hawaii’s top political jobs are on the ballot today, with a Democratic governor and congresswoman facing serious primary challenges, and an open House seat up for grabs.
In every race, at least one candidate is hoping for a comeback.
Democratic Gov. David Ige, who won his first term in 2014 by ousting an unpopular incumbent, is trying to fend off Rep. Colleen Hanabusa, who had run and lost her own primary challenge that year to Sen. Brian Schatz.
For months, Hanabusa was the favorite to win, as Ige staggered from the embarrassment of a false missile alert that revealed strains in the state’s emergency infrastructure.
“At the highest level of state government today, there is a troubling lack of leadership and vision,” Hanabusa said in January as she announced her campaign.
But Ige fought back and surged in popularity after his response to the damage caused by the eruption in June of the Kilauea volcano. Hanabusa, meanwhile, struggled to win over liberal voters who had rejected her 2014 candidacy for the Senate. In March, a Mason-Dixon poll showed Ige trailing Hanabusa by 20 points; in July, another Mason Dixon poll showed the governor ahead by four points.
Hanabusa’s gubernatorial bid created a crowded and pricey race for her House seat, which covers the island of Oahu. The earlier front-runner was Doug Chin, the state’s lieutenant governor and former attorney general, who gained national attention for a successful 2017 lawsuit against President Trump’s ban on U.S. entry by citizens of a handful of majority-Muslim countries. (An amended version of the ban was upheld by the Supreme Court this year.)
But Chin did not clear the field. State Sen. Donna Mercado Kim raised more money for the race, while Kaniela Ing, a state representative and member of Democratic Socialists of America, waged a low-cost grass-roots campaign. In June, former congressman Ed Case made a surprise entry into the race, surging to the lead in some polls — and worrying liberal voters, who opposed Case’s 2002 vote authorizing the invasion of Iraq.
Still, no candidate seemed to consolidate the liberal vote; Ing, who had made headline-grabbing mistakes on his campaign finance forms, got a late boost when Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez flew in this week to endorse him.
“I come from a place of colonized people,” Ocasio-Cortez said at a rally. “As a Puerto Rican woman, I’ve seen the consequences when we allow corporate lobbyists to take over and profit off of the despair of working people.”
Democratic voters in Hawaii’s 2nd Congressional District have a less crowded race on the ballot, with activist Sherry Alu Campagna challenging Rep. Tulsi Gabbard. The incumbent has won three terms by landslides, but Campagna, who earned the endorsement of the Hawaii State Teachers Association, criticized Gabbard for meeting with Syrian president Bashar al-Assad and casting doubt on whether he was behind gas attacks on civilians.
“She was one of a handful of Democrats who voted to ban Syrian immigrants from our country,” Campagna said in a speech at the state Democratic convention.
Neither the 1st nor 2nd District is seen as competitive in November. Both gave President Trump less than 31 percent of the vote, and he remains unpopular. Charles Djou, who in 2010 was the last Republican to win a congressional election in the state, announced this year that he had become a Democrat.
Democrats are also favored to hold onto the governor’s mansion, and several liberal groups have endorsed Kim Coco Iwamoto, a civil rights activist who would be the first transgender official elected to any statewide office in Hawaii if she becomes the nominee for lieutenant governor.
A new party, at Bernie's age, ain't gonna happen. He'll run in the Democratic Primary. If he runs, Warren probably doesn't run and vice versa IMO.
Warren is most def. running. It's been obvious for months.
I agree, which is why I don't think it's a slam dunk that Bernie runs. I could easily see him pulling all his weight behind her.
BUT, Bernie is more popular and has much more name recognition and a lot of grassroots support. So,
i'd take Warren over Bernie if it happens. She needs to stop being so disappointing. I'd vote for her though if she's the nomineeI agree, which is why I don't think it's a slam dunk that Bernie runs. I could easily see him pulling all his weight behind her.

Honestly, if they come out the gate swinging, both bernie and warren, they can beat Kamala, Biden, Booker, and Gillibrand
Yes. I think Warren especially as POTUS would use her track record of standing up to power. It's why Wall Street actually hates her. She knows their business better than they do.
Say what you will about her but she got the CEO of Wells Fargo fired and his bonus clawed back even though she had no legal authority to do so. No one in power has done anything close to that.
She also got Obama to create the Consumer Financial protection Bureau. Thats fukking amazing.
I think she will kick Wall Street's ass, tax the daylights out of them, which will probably allow us to have many things the developed world has.
Polls closed in Hawaii. Dem primary is only one that matters obviously.
you wanna talk democratic success?Gavin Newsom
