2020 Democratic Primary Thread: Focus on House & Senate races

[wire28]

one of the greatest ironies of this "democracy" is the decades old concerted effort to prevent the people from actually completing the foundation of this country ie voting and implementing their will. whether it be election day not being a national holiday to gerrymandering to this bs.

thats why at the end of the day politics and politicians are a joke. you are always picking the lesser evil and keeping it moving

you're an idiot if you truly want to see dems win elections but then want to bush the young vote (which encompasses 18-30 yr olds, a whole generation of people, not just frisky college kids)

yall seem to think winning the primary is the goal/prize

THEY BUSH THEMSELVES CUZ THEY DON’T GET OFF THEY ASS N VOTE!!!

They call older ppl “stupid” for not buying into Warren n Bernie whike Biden surges. Guess what? THOSE OLDER PPL VOTE.

Between this and the Cenk thing, I hope a lot of Bernie supporters are starting to wake up to the ways he can and will be attacked during the primary and general should he win the nomination

Again, this is it about the primary. You need young voters to come out in the general election....winning the primary means absolutely shyt when you can’t get your coalition to the polls for the team election

False. Minnesota is not in play. Not for anytime soon.

Walter Mondale won Minnesota (his home state) by only a small plurality in 1984 and Al Gore won Minnesota by only a small plurality in 2000. It didn't mean that Minnesota was coming into play for the GOP. Minnesota is a Lean/Likely D state and that won't change for a while.

Many white-working class voters in the Iron Range of Minnesota has still (mostly) stuck by the Minnesota DFL Party and the national Democratic Party. It's the rural areas of MN that have turned away from the Democrats but that's being outweighed by the urban and suburban areas of MN. Also, rural areas of MN are declining in the population. Meanwhile, the urban and suburban areas are increasing in population.

Hillary was just uniquely disliked. Any major Democratic candidate in 2020 is going to do much better than Hillary did. Every Minnesota Democrat running statewide in 2018, besides Keith Ellison (he had a scandal hanging around him), won by a decent margin.

Are you really so sure that Trump/FOX News/Right-wing media won't drag the nominee (whoever it is) down to Hillary levels of disapproval? After all it's not like she was always that unpopular.

It's basically already happening, and once they know who it's going to be, they're going to go in 100% full stop on demonizing whoever runs against Trump.

The only major candidate I see that potentially happening to (and to the same effect it had on Hillary) is Elizabeth Warren.

However, still, Democratic voters are energized and there are more Dem voters than GOP voters. The GOP is also losing the suburbs by a rapid rate.

Everybody is catching the heat when they win the nom or even just becoming the presumptuous nominee. Even Pete, who is the preferred candidate of the media and billionaires would get torched especially. I can't sit up here and lie like i know how to beat the media machine that democrats have to fight against in 2020 but there has to be someway
