DENVER—Calling upon donors to take his campaign to new, unprecedented heights, Democratic presidential candidate John Hickenlooper set an ambitious $250 fundraising goal Tuesday for next the debate cycle. “It certainly won’t be easy, but with your help, we can grow from a grassroots campaign with virtually nothing to a grassroots campaign with $250 dollars,” said Hickenlooper at a recent rally, bucking the warnings of advisors who cautioned him to stay below an “already insane” $100 ceiling for the next financial quarter. “I know it sounds impossible now, but if 25,000 Americans donate just one cent to Hickenlooper 2020, we’ll reach $250 in no time. That’s why I’m introducing exclusive merchandise, meet-and-greets, and private dinners for top-tier donors who give within the $1 to $5 range.” At press time, sources confirmed that Hickenlooper’s campaign funds were still stuck at zero.

Trump is going to get re-elected. I hate to say it, but I really think he is. So keep in mind that while we should do our best to ensure that doesn't happen, it is a very real and likely thing to happen. Thus, we should not lose sight of the Congress while we're all caught up with who we vote for President.

If I was advising his campaign, I’d tell him to use the world “malarkey” 5+ times minimum in the next debate.Spiritual_Chaos said:Detroit 2000, Detroit 2003 1-2, Grand Rapids VFC 2004, Philly 2005, Grand Rapids 2006, Detroit 2006, Cleveland 2006, Lollapalooza 2007, Detroit Eddie Solo 2011, Detroit 2014, Chicago 2016 1-2, Chicago 2018 1-2, Ohana Encore 2021 1-2, Chicago Eddie/Earthlings 2022 1-2, Nashville 2022, St. Louis 2022

Had a conversation with a life long democrat about an hour ago. Is was quick:
Me-”Do you like Biden?”
”No. I don’t like any of them.
Ill tell you who I do like is that mayor. I wouldn’t vote for him”
Me-“Why?”
” Because he’s gay”
So frustrating because I believe he could win if he wasn’t gay.

This was kind of interesting, although in the whole scheme of things it probably means jack shit, but in the debate setting it could be interesting if Gabbard were to emphasize her feelings on this. I was hoping the candidates were gonna move past this, but it still seems front and center still.Detroit 2000, Detroit 2003 1-2, Grand Rapids VFC 2004, Philly 2005, Grand Rapids 2006, Detroit 2006, Cleveland 2006, Lollapalooza 2007, Detroit Eddie Solo 2011, Detroit 2014, Chicago 2016 1-2, Chicago 2018 1-2, Ohana Encore 2021 1-2, Chicago Eddie/Earthlings 2022 1-2, Nashville 2022, St. Louis 2022

Gavin Newsom and California just put all the primary candidates in a pickle. No walking back on raising their hands for giving illegal immigrants free healthcare. But at least this may help the Dems capture the electoral votes from Cali in the next election.Be Excellent To Each OtherParty On, Dudes!0

A person can't win because they are gay until they win and is gay, and people say "weird we thought someone couldn't win because they are gay?". A gay person would have a hard time being prime minister in Sweden also. In most countries. And it's sad.Hi! said:Had a conversation with a life long democrat about an hour ago. Is was quick:

It’s interesting to use Obama as an example. I never had that same feeling, “ he can’t win because of this or that.” I always felt he would win. Maybe we have evolved more when it comes to race as compared to sexual orientation, or religious beliefs.Spiritual_Chaos said:

In the impeachment thread, there is a big discussion whether trump supporters are racist.
Possibly they are not, but without doubt, america in general is a country overrun by and chock full of discriminatory citizens.
A gay man winning the presidency? Most likely not.
A nonreligious individual, such as an atheist? no f*cking way.0 -
We vote for parties, not individuals (but obviously the party leader is the face of the party). The parties choose their party leaders and "The Liberals" (small party though) has right now chosen a black woman as leader.Hi! said:

I would say it would not be a big factor if the "leader" of The Social Democrats (biggest party in the parliament) would be black. The racists have their own party now "The Sweden Democrats" and the old fashioned republican-like-old-white-dude-racists vote for "The Moderats" which is the biggest opposition party -and there I would think a black man/woman as leader would push certain voters away.
None of those parties are frontloaded with "black people" though, so I guess there will be some time before one will be nominated and elected to be party leader. They both have had women leading though, so that is something."Mostly I think that people react sensitively because they know you’ve got a point"0 -
Racist or racist by association. Big deal. They voted for a racist with a racist agenda because "it lines up with their ideals".Lerxst1992 said:Spiritual_Chaos said:

So they have an active part in keeping racism alive and well.Post edited by Spiritual_Chaos on"Mostly I think that people react sensitively because they know you’ve got a point"0 -
