    What the hell is this:


    20 seconds of a speech,  half of it cut out.  Where's the rest?  Whoever posted this is likely intellectually dishonest. 
    That twitter clip is indeed intellectually dishonest. Joe Biden was talking about the tax cuts and how Paul Ryan planned to pay for them. He wasn't agreeing with Paul Ryan. He was talking about the need for a pro-growth progressive tax code.


    thats why sourcing is critical on the internet. people are so fucking gullible on most platforms.  soon as they log on, critical thinking gets shut down. Thats if it was present to begin with.

    That's consistent with the other NH poll I saw.  It is his home base.  Doesn't bode well for Warren.

    Mayor Pete looks like he's 15... i like the guy so far, but would be worried to death running a 15yo in the general. He just looks WAY too young, and i think it would hurt him

    He needs a beard asap lol

    Maybe this is the right time for something like that. One thing I've seen Pete say that resonated with me is that he'll be the age Trump is now around 2054, so he suggested that he actually has a vetted interest in the long-term future. Compare that to Trump, Biden, and Sanders, all of whom could croak at any moment. 

    You're right that his age could be worrisome, but he's very well-spoken and seems mature. He's not like AOC with selfies, memes, and other teenager shit. So it's not out of the realm of possibility that he could connect with younger voters like Kennedy did all those years ago. I know...that's a tall task. But he seems up to it. 

    And to address the elephant in the room, him being gay may be a turnoff for some voters. But those will mostly be right-leaning voters. Maybe his military experience can counteract that. A negative stereotype about gay men has always been that they're "weaker" than straight men. But he served in Afghanistan, while Trump lied about injuries to avoid being drafted. Who looks weaker?

    LOL

    Yeah, Pete a young 'un but (I think I mentioned this elsewhere) good leader can be young:  William Pitt the Younger is a prime example.  He became Prime Minister of England at the ripe old age of 24 and, along with other fine accomplishments, supported William Wilberforce in abolishing slavery  in Great Britain.  A young, ambitious motivated, intelligent younger person may be just the thing this ailing country needs.
