2020 Democratic Primary Thread: Focus on House & Senate races

[No1]

I don't think it's fair to say Liz is rolling out standard Democrat proposals. She has the most transformative agenda in the entire Democratic field, and what's truly incredible about it is how she's taking broad, moral concepts and turning them into tangible, actionable plans. I've never seen anyone do that as well as she's doing it right now. Whether or not the average person is reading every sentence of her proposals is secondary to the fact that she's making them widely available and channeling public sentiment/energy towards real, undiluted goals. She's not just hiding behind the soaring rhetoric, she's showing her work. She's bridging the divide between rhetoric and praxis. To say that she's just putting a wonkish spin on standard concepts and her campaign approach is mainly marketing-driven is wildly downplaying the importance of transparency and, like, actual policy. I can understand the impetus behind spurning intelligent and well thought out plans in the wake of neoliberalism's bloodless wonkery, but to then flip 180 degrees and castigate someone for being prepared and aggressive in the breadth and depth of their policy proposals is dumb.

What's needed is someone who has both the desire/heart to remake the state in a progressive mold, and the skills/abilities to actually do so. Liz is the only one in the race who has demonstrated both.

I said her recent proposals. By that, I mean stuff like her abortion plan. Every Democrat supports that. She put a wonkish spin on something basically every major candidate would support. I’m like the original Warren advocate on the board. I’m saying that people are overstating certain proposals.

Her abortion plan got basically less fanfare or attention than any of her other plans though, so I'm not sure who was overstating it.

All the people pointing out that she has a plan for everything. I'm mostly directing that at the media. It's not a campaign critique. It's a smart campaign tactic. It's moreso about how annoyed with the media I'm becoming.

is that woman in the second picture the sign language translator?

"why are staring at her things?"

"just brushing up on my sign language"

 

[Berniewood Hogan]

"but bernie is uncomfortable with black people!"

"but bernie has a problem with black women!"

"but i'm trying to push warren to steal some support from bernie and i'm going to switch to biden 100% after that works or doesn't!"

 

[Dusty Bake Activate]

Depressing. If he makes it as the Dem nominee his enthusiasm level will be more than Hillary’s.

Do you see the progressive vote being split between Bernie and Warren and this fukktard winning? If so, how can it be prevented?

Senate Republicans running away from Alabama abortion law

great sign for 2020 these white christian terrorists are gonna embarrass their party in front of the entire country, and the timing should be just about perfect. they either lose at the federal level, or it passes and the democrats get to run on the facts that republicans care more about rapists' offspring than their victims
