The problem with boring is people might not be motivated to come out to vote for him.


Also, think about the impact on Republican turnout.

A boring dem might not motivate as many dems to turn out, but by the same token, republicans wouldn't be as fired up to vote against them.


Think about how much republicans hated Hillary. Think about how much they will hate a cranky old, Jewish "socialist" like Bernie, or a confident black woman like Kamala, or a confident woman who is an "elitist" Harvard professor like Warren, etc.

US Intelligence Agencies seem to think so but I'ma let you cook :hubie:
no, they think they attempted to interfere with internet memes and bots. which i agree with

but none of you can prove that voters minds were changed by some fukkin memes :why: you don't possess mind reading technology. there is ZERO proof that trump wouldn't have won anyway

The hard left wing of the party hates Eric Holder for not going after the banks hard enough, but Eric Holder is a sleeper contender. I think he will show out in debates and he has a good sense of humor, which is vital if you wanna take on Trump.
(Al Franken wouldve been the perfect candidate if he hadnt been metooed.)

In terms of political football with trying to get the perfect matchup, yeah you probably right @the cac mamba


The selfish part of me still wants Bernie though
i truly think bernie was 2016 or bust, it's too late for him. i mean he has my vote, but if we really want bernie to run in 2020 :dead: good luck i guess

I get what you mean, but here is the flip side: any non-boring, high-profile person is going to lose people because of their haters not turning out.

Think about how much Hillary's supporters had a distaste for Obama in 2008 (yeah, he won comfortably, but if there was no financial meltdown, the election would have been a nail-biter)

Think about how much the Bernie people disliked Hillary in 2016


Most of the higher profile candidates who inspire passion/motivation for one reason for another will also have lots of haters who can't stand them


So I guess it comes down to figuring out where more voters are lost: by being boring and not motivating people to come out, or having lots of voters who won't come out because they can't stand you for whatever reason

Good point, I definitely agree with that, which is why I think Biden is the best pick. He doesn't invoke a lot of that hatred that someone like Elizabeth Warren would garner. He's the only politician that I believe can unite the most factions: moderates, progressives, African-Americans, rural voters, middle class, young, white working class voters etc. all respect him. :yeshrug:

Biden will be viewed negatively by both young people and Progressives. He doesn't have a record they like plus he has actively shytted on Progressives in the past.

We'll just have to wait and see. I don't recall progressives ever hating Biden the way they despised Hillary. Dude is way too likable to hate.

Yeah, this is not true. I know men who didnt want to vote for her because she was a woman ( don't know if they actually end up voting for her anyway) and my Hispanic friends and coworkers say their husbands, brothers etc would never vote for a woman. They don't believe women should lead (again, don't know what they actually did once they got in the booth) They country is misogynistic as hell, I'm sure you know this.
Nah, you right, I should have phrased my post better. Misogyny definitely had a role to play, because America is still a misogynistic society. What I meant to say is that a woman can still win despite the misogynistic factors. Clinton made a lot of poor decisions and had a lot of baggage that was unrelated to her being a woman that helped sink her. Also, the same demographic that most vociferously hate Clinton venerate Sarah Palin, and would they'd go nuts for some fascistic, autocratic Mommy figure a la Marine Le Pen. I'm confident Warren would have beaten Trump in 2016, and I'm confident either she or Kamala can beat him in 2020.

:heh: in what world is Biden the most unifying pick? He already is pretty much hated by the left, he has no chance of bringing in the progressives or young voters.
