Do you have a president or major party nominee that insisted on that policy? I'm not allowing obama because he caved on it ;-)0 -

Look - we aren't going to agree on this. And I'm not saying Bernie is as bad a person as trump. Just that their campaigns seem to use a similar playbook and cause their supporters to behave in a similar manner (questioning the media, questioning vote results, talking of deep state conspiracies against their candidate, etc).
So, as someone who is not really a democrat by choice, I am very concerned about his nomination.hippiemom = goodness0 -
ecdanc said:Well, that rules out Mayo Pete.
Pete is not intelligent nor charismatic? I'm impressed every time I see him interviewed.
The base needs time to warm up to candidates. They want to know you and think you can win. They also need to have their right to vote protected to matter in the general.
Pete's sweet spot is 2028 to 2040.0 -

Yes. He was a revered politician until he got a little too frisky at the workplace and his wife got too involved in his line of work.
He is also a vegan. So he is on the right side of history in more aspects than loving the sound of a sax."Mostly I think that people react sensitively because they know you’ve got a point"0 -

the recording, reproducing, or broadcasting of moving visual images.
GIFs in 2018 are no longer just a collection of simple images, as they were back in 1995. Often, animated GIFs are clips ripped from TV and movies—basically, video saved in the wrong format. Unlike actual, video formats, GIFs don't use any kind of video encoding or compression techniques.

Pete's sweet spot is 2028 to 2040.
Hillary was well known and it gave people zero excitement. Didn't Gore and Kerry feel very much "dragged out from the Establishment because they had put enough hours in to get the chancet"
Obama was new and fresh. Bill Clinton, wasn't he an unknown commodity before he melted women's hearts by feeling their pain? George W Bush was ofcourse known, but he came in with a lot of energy, gaffs and lies about McCain having a black child Etc.
I think that will be a problem with Biden - it would be a Hillary situation. Not new. Not fresh. Not that unknown hope of big things a head. People liked him as Obamas dadjoke-friend. Without Obama, he's just "oh wait, one of those politicians". I can't see people being fired up at rallys with him behind the podium, people would come hoping for a good guest artist to show up.
So in that regard, I think Pete winning now is possible because fresh = energy = momentum . And in 2040 is way past his sweetspoint.Post edited by Spiritual_Chaos on"Mostly I think that people react sensitively because they know you’ve got a point"0
