That's fair, and I would never say it's wrong to do that.

I just object to people who take it a step further and try to convince people not to vote during the general election if the nominee isn't 100% flawless.
Yeah, I do not support anyone who would do that. Especially considering the monster who is currently in office. But we should be 100% critical during the primaries.

I'm not really a supporter of his but I'm tired of the left bashing the shyt out of every single Dem that runs.

This type of shyt is going to hand Trump a W in 2020 since whoever makes it through probably have Hillary-level approval by election time.
These fake progressives need to stop announcing they're running then. If the dems don't get behind a real progressive candidate they're going to lose again just like Hillary. Booker is another corporate dem who takes dikk from big pharma and Wallstreet

Because I don't think, by in large, it's a good faith critique to find which candidate upholds liberal standards. Rather, it seems like an attempt to bash someone, and distort their words without any context, to persuade liberals not to vote all together.

And I want to win, dammit. And not for the sake of winning just to win. Republican policies do demonstrable harm to every day people that are much more egregious than a bill to stop gang violence.



The winner in any given state is (usually) the one who gets the most votes. I'm not saying we have to do like Republicans and literally vote for a confessed pedophile ... but we don't need to stay home because the candidate used the phrase "super predator". Like, the scales of what each side tolerates are completely night and day.
You do want to win at all costs if you can't find any good faith critiques. Not everything is a conspiracy. No standards leads to the Bush family lying to their base, it leads to Farwell and Haggard. All politics is purity politics. If you can't have standards on your political values what can you have standards on? And then why should we can what someone who doesn't have standards says about the Republican, because obviously they only care about winning not not the damaging policy.

Remember 50% of the country didn't, and still doesn't care about the Trump era.

Please stop with this stop bashing shyt. That’s not the issue. Trump wasn’t popular on the right when he was in the primary. Remember the never trump wing like Glen Peck and Mark Levin? The issue is clowns not getting on point when the nominee is set. For all her flaws, what happened with trillary from the Bernie bums was a disgrace

The left ain't bashing Bernie, Liz or Tulsi. We got our squad and we got next! Fukk with us and unite the party!
Nah, you just live in a BernieBro bubble and think that your "progressive" candidates are perfect human beings. There are plenty of people in the Dem party who do not like your three candidates. But you wouldn't know that since you're a BernieBro.

I don't think they are perfect. Bernie particularly on foreign policy, Tulsi on torture and letting Syrian refugees into the US and Warren for supporting Hillary in 2016 over Bernie and her statements on Standing Rock. But at least these candidates stand up for something and speak truth to power.
If we keep it trill the Establishment blew it and lost to Trump, it's our turn to run for the highest office. If someone Obama, the DNC and the MSM put all their influence behind to be president lost to a political novice they need to step aside and let Progressives offer an alternative.

I would never support Booker it’s never happening, when he voted against Bernie’s bill to allow Americans to purchase cheaper pharmaceuticals I basically took that as he tried to bring death to my family since my father needs constant supply of drugs due to his kidney transplant. I don’t pay attention to words I pay attention to actions.

Even a piece of a sh_t like Ted Cruz voted FOR that bill. That should tell people something how much this guy is in bed with Big Pharma. He got on the "Medicare For All" train late because he was trying to run for president.

Our healthcare system will be in shambles worse than it is now if he's elected.

Any NJ posters on here can shed more light on what a shill this guy is? From posters who live in NJ, they said this man hasn't done sh_t in that state worthwhile. So, why does he deserve our vote.
