The Democratic Candidates

Agreed. None of the democrats that are running are remotely interesting to me. New Jersey (where I have from) will be going blue even if donald trump jr runs on the democratic ticket so I might vote third party just to get them some possible funds in the future.brianlux said:If the dems can't find a candidate that can beat King Orange Klown then we (the nation) really do deserve what we get.

See there you go bring all mean and disagreeable. Im pretty sure I can read, so this feels like an ad hominem attack on me. I'll probably start a safe space thread where only I can post and maybe one other person. That way no one can gang up no matter what I say.cincybearcat said:
Then you can’t read. It’s a common theme here. Disagree with the group think, get called names and attacked by the group. Then do what you are doing, pretending it didn’t happen at all and play all coy and innocent. I just want people to own up to their shit.mrussel1 said:

I need not just bow down to whoever the Dems nominate. And yet people here continuing call names and gang up. Admin continues to ignore it. A lot of you try to be funny and call out My2hands for @ the admin. I wouldn’t do it, but I understand why he did. So go ahead, call me names, gang up on me, I really don’t give a fuck about you and I’m certainly not going to let that bullshit tell me who to vote for.
Bernie Sanders is part of the problem. He and trump were running the same kind of campaigns. Finding a group to blame, rallying the populists behind them, creating supporters that would not compromise...wouldn’t even vote for their parties nominee. Not only do I disagree with many of his policies (that’s not unique to him and the dem party), but I disagree with him as a person and a leader. So I won’t be voting for him. It’s not a vote for trump, it’ll be a vote for whomever I like best on the ballot and unless there is no 3rd party, it won’t be trump or Bernie Sanders. He’s a no go for me.Good for you for standing your ground, Cincy.If we could figure out how to have civil discourse around this place we could turn the world on it's head and make it a better place. And I don't mean we have to tippy toe around each other or being overly polite. Just civil. No ganging up, speak our minds, be forthright, take a stance, and yet be open minded enough to listen to others.Why don't we all try that? Let's start our own revolution of sorts!0 -
Your last paragraph is disconnected from reality.my2hands said:
I don't disagree at all, but that's not the debate. And frankly, isn't Cincys problem. Like he said, he doesn't have to bow down to the DNC candidate. If he is completely opposed to the candidates ideas and platform, you want him to sell out his core beliefs just so the Trump doesnt win. Well, where does that end? What if the next R candidare is horrible? And after that? He should just vote against the boogeyman and surrender his beliefs?mrussel1 said:
Stop applying stronger adjectives than were stated. No one said doomsday.. no one said vote this way or die. You exaggerate the words of others to make your point. Often Reading said (I believe it was that poster), that a vote for a liberal third candidate, particularly on a swing state, is a vote for Trump. In 2020, that's 100% true. Nothing more, nothing less. Do you think that's not the case? If so, defend that reasoning, how a liberal 3rd party candidate would not enhance Trump's chance for victory in that state.my2hands said:
Have no problem with that, at all, whichis my point... just like i would have no problem if he voted Stein, Gary, Trump, or Mickey Mouse. I might disagree with someones choice, but don't have a problem with it, it's their votemrussel1 said:
So Hillary, as he stated. Because he clearly understood the ramifications and political reality of our system.my2hands said:
Voted for whatever candidate he felt best lined up with his political beliefs and values?mrussel1 said:
Well there's the real irony right? You could vote Stein knowing it didn't matter. Ergo you could have stayed home too.brianlux said:dignin said:Naive is too kind a word to describe someone who would vote third party when Trump is on the ballot.I had no problem voting for Stein in 2016. Hillary was a shoe in for the electoral college votes in California and although I obviously thought she was better than Trump, I didn't like either. I was very fortunate to be able to vote 3rd party with a clear conscience.I wish enough others had done the same so as to start a trend toward the acceptance of third (or more) parties. Why are we so locked into a two party system,? Why are we so afraid of change? Even if this is seen as "dreaming", when did people stop having dreams for a better world? Do we really want to keep going down the same road that we know damn well is leading us further and further into a place that is bad for us (not to mention, bad for the planet)? Do we really want to be cattle moseying along in a stupor headed for our own self-imposed slaughter? Not me.
The question is, what would you have done if you lived in Pennsylvania?
The doomsday "you must vote Democrat, or die" routine is silly and shortsighted to me, that's all.
Nah, fuck that. Vote for your candidate and don't apologize for it.
If a few third party votes means the dem candidate cant beat this clown, then they don't deserve it any damn way lol0 -

Yeah cause that’s what I said. You have a strange definition of reading comprehension.CM189191 said:cincybearcat said:This place is fucking nuts.
Because there is actually a Democrat or 2/3 that I won’t vote for I’m:
1) Horseshoed...what a stupid label but I’m not surprised people around here like to pretend they hate labels and then that’s all they fucking do.
2) I do not understand the election system
3) naive - no wait that is too kind... what word would you use then tough guy? Say it and don’t be a pansy.
How about this, nominate an electable democrat. I’ll be voting in the dem primary...hoping for a candidate to come out that I can vote for. I can probably vote for 90% of them. But if they want to take the party to the crazy left I can’t vote it. And I won’t. And I can’t nor will I vote for trump.
The crazy left?
Like providing education, healthcare and not putting kids in cages?
You have a strange definition of crazy....
Nd if this is your tactic to change people’s minds, it isn’t working.
Nah, I realize some people are too far gone to be salvaged.0 -

I'm for an all inclusive Democratic Party.
Here's a novel idea...instead of waiting on the CONVENTION let's get the platform together NOW and come at this fucker UNITED. Before the bickering and infighting that the Dems will obviously start doing soon these fools should Pool all the money raised already and come at him with real COMBINED LEADERSHIP, a cabinet in place, a clear unified POLICY platform with actual plans on how to repair the damage that this IDIOT has done to the US government.
You know, we don't have a Secretary to the United Nations. So many "acting" secretaries. The State Department is a mess. The EPA. The cozy relationship with the Saudis, the love professed for KJI, the Russians. Charlottesville. He definitely demolished the administrative state. "Disrupting" is the word that traitor Steve Bannon used. Speaking as someone who has a keen eye for crime...He should be the one they lock up.
I'm still not voting for that creep Joe Biden. #BACKTHEFUCKUPBristow 05132010 to Amsterdam 2 061320180 -

Seriously, if this country want s to gain back some of it's sense of decency, self-respect and world-wide respect, things have to change in 2020. But that's just the facade. The whole structure is rotting. We have a lot of work to do.
