The Joe Biden 2020 tracker thread (1 Viewer)

[Intensesaint]

A place for all the gaffs, slip-ups and overall outlandish things Democratic candidates will say or do in lead up to the 2020 Election.

This board is only five months old.

You’re still not MAP hall monitor
Not sure it’s gonna happen

Take that crap somewhere else. Everyone running wants major gun law changes everyone that was in the running had a stance you would not like. MAJOR changes.

This is hijacking the thread and irrelevant to what the thread is.

Feel free to start your own thread about gun laws.

One of the frontrunners made an announcement that Beto would be involved in a specific role in his administration. Seems relevant to the discussion of the candidates.

And I was told on this forum that Beto's positions on gun control were extreme and therefore it was wrong for me to point to his declaration of, "hell yes, we are going to take your AR 15's" as an indication that this what the Democratic party wanted to do.

Well son of a gun, that "extremist" is back in play.

Certainly you don't believe I give any analysis that you offer a lot weight either.

Having said that, you may have noticed that there has been an apparent relationship between how "woke" the candidates have been and poor performances with the electorate. And this is among Democrats. It's been nice to watch.

It's hard to say why exactly Warren plummeted. I think it is safe to say that casting Bernie in the role of her oppressor didn't have the result she hoped to achieve.

People are tired of this intersectionality, who has the better claim of being oppressed nonsense.

Sorry, it's time to find a new hobby.

I’ll let that 1st sentence wrestle a bit to see what sense wins

As for the ‘woke’ blather- I tend to not be overly influenced by alt propaganda like woke or PC or TDS or snowflake or illegal or ****hole, et al - and what you call ‘woke’ is just being human - that seems to be a red flag for you, but I prefer my candidates to be human

You’ve argued for a good 6 years thst their vote counts more than regular folk’s
Why quibble now?

So says the guy who wants to ban books, and movies, and political pamphlets, and . . . .

You have to admit, it seems a little, well, inconsistent to be perfectly fine with ultra wealthy people paying for political influence, yet upset that Bloomberg can pay for an armed security detail.

So, you are a book burner too?

 

[MT15]

Yes, that is absolutely what I said. Good lord, man, you have really devolved.

It is exactly what you are saying. We have been over it before. You want the government to ban books if they are political and paid for, in any way, via corporate funds.
Apparently being against that makes me for believing rich people should have the ability to gain more political influence. Of course it really doesn't - but why let facts get in the way?

 

[MT15]

I said nothing about banning books, but you just keep building those straw men. You should have an army by now.

LOL. You just accuse me of being for rich people being able to buy political influence. When did I say that?

i assume you are alluding to my thoughts on Citizens United. If so - then if you are for overturning Citizens United you are for banning books - as well as movies, political pamphlets, etc.
If you are talking about something else, then tell me when I have I claimed I am for rich people being able to gain more influence.

So, back to topic at hand. I think the Bernie hysteria is much overplayed. We haven't seen this amount of concern and lies of omission since Wall Street needed a bailout and they didn't have the initial numbers in Congress. I wasn't much of a Bernie supporter before, but seeing New York squirm is pushing me in his direction. Furthermore, Biden would get steamrolled by Trump in any sort of debate.

Are you suggesting that it is not possible to overturn the parts of Citizens United related to campaign finance without banning political books?

I don't mind that Bloomberg has an armed security detail. In fact, it's probably wise if he is going to continue to criticize Bernie.

It's just hypocritical for people like him to want to prohibit ordinary citizens from defending themselves with firearms when that's exactly what they do.

Biden is having an incredibly good night.

Wins Minnesota and Virginia. Two states very close in 2016 that Democrats must hold.

Biden also won N. Carolina. Bernie won Colorado. Not sure Minn is called.

I think Bloomberg and Warren are very much playing a spoiler role. Bernie could have won Minn without them in the race.

AP has called Minnesota for Biden:

Biden beats Sanders in Minnesota primary

Former Vice President Joe Biden was declared the winner of the Minnesota Democratic presidential primary, notching another unexpected victory on Super Tuesday.

I'd lean towards Bloomberg voters trending to Biden and Warren voters to Bernie.

 

[Heathen]

Biden has definitely had a great night, basically sweeping the South. He's also stolen Minnesota and Massachusetts from all indicatiions, states he wasn't expected to do well in just days ago. What will be interesting is if Sanders continues to dominate out West. Texas and California wins along with Utah could put him back in the lead later tonight or in the next few days. Will definitely make for an exciting primary.

I expect Bloomberg and Warren to drop out this week. They've fallen off the map. The match is set.
