2020 Democratic Primary Thread: Focus on House & Senate races

[Kenny West]

As we are on the topic of ridiculous smears and bullshyt. Here's mine.

The is all a part of the grift that is Bernie Sanders.

He doesn't want to win, he just wants to fukk up the process for Dems as much as possible.

Get your supporters worked up to fever pitch. Fail. Start with conspiracy theories about the establishment. Give the GOP a head start with smearing the eventual nominee.

What else explains doing the same thing this year that he did in 2016 and expecting a different result?

Prove me wrong by doing what it takes to WIN. BUILD the right fukking coalitions and show some HUMILITY.

Sounds silly doesn't it? But just plausible enough based on current events to be true. Wouldn't want rumours like this floating around if he actually came through and won the damn thing. That would turn off moderates...and the youth sure aren't voting.

That's what you guys are doing currently.

This is the type of garbage you type when politics is just a game to you.

You lames get up early to silence people who have real concern for the direction of this country or who's fight for health care is life or death. We sit here and watch this fukking joke of a political party fight their own constituents will to advance their own greed. And people like you wanna shut up progressives and tell people to fall in line for what? Just to be right? To seem smart at the end of this? Some people see this primary as a fight to afford medicine and folks like you just care about lecturing people online and falling in line with how Tom Perez tells you to vote. Get this clown shyt outta here


fukk that, fukk the party, fukk nancy pelosi and fukk you. I dont give a damn about helping whatever corpse they plan to staple together and run their agenda through. im not a fukking DNC staffer and I dont owe them shyt, least of all to protect Biden from Republicans. "STOP TALKING ABOUT HIS DEMENTIA, THE REPUBLICANS MIGHT HEAR YOU! " The cat is out of the bag, the man gaffes every time he speaks. nikkas wanna manufacture your consent then start feeling themselves enough to tell you to fall in line. Get all the way the fukk outta here

Jesus the arrogance of neoliberals. I cant wait for this party to meet its demise.

Joe Biden has ten minute compilations rubbing down women and little girls.

If that's who u want to vote for, eww, but it's your choice.

They're gonna put two pedophiles on the ballot and expect me to choose one? Get out of here lol.

this is the same kinda shyt i was saying in 2016. but then trump and mcconnell won, and put 2 justices on the supreme court. im not really interested in giving them two more

if i coud pick any candidate in america, it wouldnt be joe biden. but nobody stepped up and beat his ass in the primary

Build the right coalitions? You mean sell out to the donor class filled with billionaires who only want to crush any worker oriented political campaigns? There are no conspiracy theories perpetuated by Bernie, if you don’t think that the donor class (who supports Biden & Trump) number one goal is to stop Bernie Sanders you’re insane. The Democratic Party is a zombie party, they don’t really represent anything. They used to be the party for the middle class and that isn’t true anymore. Did you not just watch the collusion between the DNC, Pete, Amy & Beto? They literally colluded to stop Bernie at the behest of Obama. They don’t care about beating Trump, Bernie is a bigger enemy. Trump has been good to the donor class & he pumps media ratings so the giant media conglomerates are absolutely fine with another Trump presidency. Bernie is the moderate, Biden is the one who is extreme. He voted for the Iraq war, voted for NAFTA and called it the best trade deal ever, he’s anti choice, anti Medicare for all and is literally a pathological liar like Trump is. Sanders policies are popular amongst Americans, it’s not his policies that are fukking him. His overall campaign strategy has obvious flaws but Biden is a terrible candidate and has run an insanely lazy campaign. The dude never won a single primary until the entire media and democratic establishment coalesced behind him. The DNC did this all in the open along with massive voter suppression. They are the ones giving ammo to Trump. Bernie isn’t perfect but it’s fukking comical how the media turns everything into his fault. Get your head out of your ass and see the big picture.

So why try to piggy back off it? Do your own thing.

If you are not about to compromise and believe the Democratic party is run by the establishment, start your own thing. Staying with a party like that is a horrible compromise in itself.

Don't pick and choose where you compromise then attack me for suggesting Bernie might have done better if he showed some humility and tried to work with Clyburn.

You wrote all this when you could have just said voters dgaf about Bernie and he can't WIN

dudes are crying about " the establishment stopped him in the primary"

what the fukk do they think the establishment would have done to him in the general election

 

[the cac mamba]

Are you dumber than Trump if you lose an election to him? Just asking. lol

no. hillary isnt dumber than trump

 

[Loose]

Ruth bader is most likely actively dying you'd be a fool to sit home this election. Liz lost and i just realize she didn't connect with the voters she needed in order to win this campaign. blaming the dnc and all types of bs is embarrassing

 

[AnonymityX1000]

no. hillary isnt dumber than trump

Why couldn't she beat him then? Just saying, Biden isn't some slam dunk to beat Trump either.

At least you've said it breh, you got that off your chest. Feels good, doesn't it?
But don't try to use a party and get in your feelings when they bite back.
Now do what you have to do.

We're saving that for the general.

nikkas wanna lecture about repeating 2016 mistakes but here we are, cheering on our manufacturered consent to trot out another uninspiring scandal ridden centrist

no one is ever a slam dunk to beat an incumbent

but ill say this; the 2012 version of joe biden is about the closest i can think of to actually picking a slam dunk to beat trump

biden would have beat trump in 2016

hillary lost by 80k votes in 3 states, out of 125 million votes cast. that margin was sexism alone

it was also bernie bros staying home. i was one of them

Let's see what you said before

I guess Progressives will need all the votes the can get consolidated under one candidate to beat him.



Given that minority voters dont buy into Liz as a former POC, the progressive thing to do would be to drop out and throw her support behind bernie. Whom minority voters arent angry at for lying about her ethnicity for benefits.

The media will [continue to] freeze out her and Steyer and neither have the base or strength to fight back. She doesnt share voters with bloomberg and only damages the progressive movement while running.

The wost thing for progressives is a brokered convention. Why is Liz steering us toward just that?

Liz has dropped out so if bernie get washed sounds like it's all on bernie or is this different and a case of bu bu the big bad DNC trotting out candidates

It's a two party system, if you don't 'use' a party you won't get elected.
What's the Dem party about besides collecting money from rich people? What is the one policy, getting money from corporations or not they will be like, "We will not rest until ___ is a law or ____ isn't a law anymore?"
