2020 Democratic Primary Thread: Focus on House & Senate races

[storyteller]

Biden being shameless out here

@mastermind @tru_m.a.c @jayshiggs @storyteller @ineedsleep212

This dude is really riding Obama’s legacy while trying to distance himself from the negative aspects of the administration...he was pushing half the negative aspects. Foh

I guess my answer is how

Compromise and settlement.

Cancel Student Debt—Almost All of It
Both Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders have boldly called for student debt to be forgiven, giving students financial freedom and allowing a reset for the tragic way we finance higher education. Clearly, such a plan would run into resistance from Mitch McConnell and Republicans in Congress, and perhaps even some Democrats. But Warren and Sanders don’t need Congress to cancel at least 95 percent of all outstanding student debt.

The answer, according to Luke Herrine, a Ph.D. student in law at Yale, lies with an obscure statute dating back to the Eisenhower presidency known as “compromise and settlement” authority. This authority was granted to the Department of Education first in 1958 and then codified further in the Higher Education Act of 1965.

Herrine, who recently finished a public draft of a paper on the subject, explained in an interview that compromise and settlement operates similarly to the concept of prosecutorial discretion, a “whole line of jurisprudence” that “is not really something the courts can question.” For example, if someone hits your car, you have standing to sue. But there’s nothing that says you must sue. Similarly, the Department of Education can just decide not to collect on student loans.

Compromise and settlement gives the Education Department this explicit authority. Herrine writes: “ED has absolute discretion to determine when to stop collections, when to collect less than the full amount, and when to release debtors’ claims in toto.”

well Im affluent and highly educated, so these callers gonna attack me in an attempt to get me over to Bernie?

sounds like a winning strategy

I wonder if Bernie came up with it himself


Talk about divisive and mean spirited...

Ironically(I know millennials are big on that) most of Bernie’s supporters that I come across are white and privileged but at least Camp Bernie found a way to weaponize data against a fellow Democrat and progressive

whose man is this




fukk it I hope she separates herself from Bernie too many good candidates hurt themselves trying to share policy ideas with Sanders.

yep, I’ve got zero problem with candidates drawing genuine parallels between their campaigns as long as it’s in good faith. Bernie and Warren both have great ideas. They should share the differences and let people decide. I much prefer bad faith shyt we get from certain others (pete...I’m talking about Pete).

Sanders has never missed an opportunity to turn the gun on his own team.

Remember, he's not a democrat.

Thanks for this, but that was an incomplete post I was writing during the game and abandoned lol

How’s he being divisive?

Pete and Biden attacked Warren all Fall

@śïñe•qúå_nøn you went on the attack here but didn’t answer his question. I’d like to know what was divisive there too...

 

[storyteller]

Sanders has never missed an opportunity to turn the gun on his own team.

Remember, he's not a democrat.

What was the attack? Saying that affluent educated voters are already a part of the Democratic Party isn’t a divisive message or an insult...

 

[Ya' Cousin Cleon]

that's why you gotta side eye and pay attention to who was saying what during the Obama years

especially if they ass was on CNN at the time Peter Daou is another one

Lol yeah he was dead wrong.

These Sanders supporters stay throwing rocks and hiding their hands.

They are trying to call OF ALL PEOPLE, Elizabeth Warren an "elitist" ... for fukks sake. She's literally one of the most accomplished people running for president at this stage on and off paper.

I've seen this whole coordinated attempt to shyt on Warren for the most marginal bullshyt and now they're trying to form against her in progressive media to push this shyt.

Warren doesn't do this. Its mostly Sanders team who gets away with this bullshyt because the DNC fears not clamping down on his shyt.

Not to mention, its mostly fukking lies. Look at the goddamn talking points.

Meh

he’s just harder on immigration

@mastermind you’ve pushed a one for all, all for one immigration policy for the dispora of black ppl for The last couple of years Here, in order to get positive outcomes, for the whole.

I actually agree.

hbcus bout 6-8 decades ago paid for our homeland scholars to come to America and become educated in the slightly “western way”, at no cost.


What I can’t wrap my head around is why you’re so anti African American established political strategies in America.

what purpose does that serve for Nigerians?

My cynical mind, believes you think it’s better to align with white progressives bc they hold more power to you, and therefore any initiatives by African Americans that don’t align with your “feelings” are wrong. No doubt Oxford and the ivys provide more avenues now for anyone with a dark complexion.


this is just an assumption on my part tho.


what are ur true feelings? I think you represent a voice that needs to be communicated openly

Warren isn’t an elitist. I agree that it’s BS.

But a good amount of her support is a lot of upper class white liberals. That’s just in the data. It’s the same group Pete is relying on. Which is why he went after her.

It's a blatant lie.
