I think it's a really big mistake to hold that First Nations heritage thing against Warren.
Personally, I think it's a minor issue and I like her a lot. But why did she do that and how will it affect her chances of winning? Those are the important questions.
She didn't make a decision to lie. She repeated what she had been taught to her by her entire family for her entire life. It turned out that what she and her family regarded as their history was wrong. It was completely innocent on her part, and I actually feel bad for her just because she learned that part of her identity was based on incorrect info.
Warren has used bad judgment many times in recent years. Why did trump attack her before the dna test so strongly? Because he judged her ethnicity by her appearance. It's not fair but that's the risk she took by not backing off the decision she made as a young adult (to advance her family's claim without evidence).
Instead she doubled down with the dna test. Then she did it again by exclaiming the test supported her narrative.
She did not back down until the Native Americans told her she was being insulting to them
She allowed herself to be backed into a corner by trump. She also has wobbled twice on her centerpiece Medicare plan because she is starting to realize moderates are disgusted by it.
As of friday, she now wants Bidens plan for 3 years then her plan. She's a literal train wreck .
To beat trump we need someone with street smarts before they act. Warren has proven many times that's not her. She is not the person capable to take down trump in a solid economy.

Did you read the article or just the headline? While I'm not aligned with him on this issue, it sure as hell isn't my make or break one either. If Trump ran against Biden and declared that he supported Fed legalization, would you vote for Trump over Biden?
Joe's mad reasonable. Not the most progressive, but reasonable.
Everybody already crossed the weed bridge.
I think of myself as progressive (but don't use that term as it has been bastardized), but unless we want another 4 years of Trump, we are probably going to need to elect someone "reasonable". Yes, I might have argued my own point here 3 years ago, but the planet is worse off with Trump than just about anyone. Except maybe Pence.

Biden sounds like a relic calling weed a "gateway drug." If he insists on being against federal legalization, he should come up with a better reason than a talking point from the mid-1980's.

Stupid, out-of-touch, stuck in his old ways....any would apply.
He's likely just trying to come off less "left" than his opponents. I'm sure moderate Democrats and Trump-hating Republicans could appreciate that. But the bulk of the Democratic electorate that he's going need to win the primary? Not sure how well it'll play with them.

Apparently, only 7% of Americans actually think cannabis should be completely illegal, lol. He doesn't just sound out of touch. He IS out of touch, clearly. If he wasn't, he never would have made that dumbass statement!

Yeah and yet he was one of the dumbasses that raised their hand at the first debate when asked, by a show of hands, about who would support free healthcare for illegal immigrants. And if you ever watch that clip back, he's among the last to raise his hand. Because he KNOWS it's a horrible policy proposal (and an even worse campaign promise to have Trump holding over your head), but he looked around, saw the others raising their hands, and he fell in line like a sheep.

Again though, I think he is trying to woo some of the moderate Republican votes- and a lot of those middle America moderate Republicans probably still do use terms like "gateway drug". And it's not a bad strategy, especially because I really doubt he cares about weed being legal or not- probably has toked a few himself in his day.

What if a person had a heart attack? Should they be treated? Isn't that healthcare? Stupid questions lead to misunderstanding and inaccurate results, by all the candidates.

It matters.... Look at Oklahoma, a deep Red State, but both Left and Right voted overwhelmingly for medical MJ. This makes Biden look out of touch, which he is...

He is but who cares. If he supports decriminalization and state legalization, it's not very important in the grand scheme. And it's clearly not patronizing, it's his belief system.

this is something that irritates me. equating heathcare with insurance.
all of the debate around ACA was misspoken in my opinion.
hospitals arent checking immigration status before treating a patient in obvious distress.
practical and reasonable to me is public option. if everyone in dc is all about consumer choice then move on it. seems like the logical potential transition to M4A anyway.
trouble is those fuckers are addicted to industry money.

Agreed on all of your points, particularly the one about insurance vs care.
And im hopeful that democratic senators are ready to support the public option. I don't see Biden rolling out something that he knows would be DOA in the Senate, his home turf.

Here is the reality. If Dems want to win republican votes:

Otherwise it doesn’t matter
Those would win votes, for sure, Cincy. The smart thing to do would be to
1) Down play the abortion issue as much as possible (yes, easier said than done, but stay away fro it as much as possible).
2) Same thing with guns. Maybe push for better background checks, no bazookas, etc, but don't take ALL the boys toys away.
3) Encourage people to be being smart with their personal finance. Make it a win for them.
4) Well said on your take!
5) Show them some respect- don't make them they enemy.
Another tactic is... join them. I have a relative who for many years has been a very hard working environmental lawyer (and never got rich in that line of that business) who has been a life-long DIE HARD Democrat. He just informed me that he is going to re-register as a Republican because a) that party needs people like him, b) he can vote against Trump in the primaries and c) a few of his friends are Republican AND strongly environmental and he likes the idea of having more environmentally friendly Republicans. Interesting thought!

Completely agree. The whole party seems to shoot itself in the foot. No way their moderator should put them in that sort of situation
