I Am Interested In Politics

Does anyone have a favorite candidate for the Democratic nomination in 2020?

If you have a favorite, please describe why, my favorites are Bernie, Yang and Tulsi, and I agree with Marianne Williamson on some levels as well. My main qualifiers are integrity and keeping corporate money out of politics.

Joe Biden seems to be the obvious choice
NativeOregonian · 51-55
@GJOFJ3 Biden is a piece of shit corporatist establishment shill, the same as Liz, Kamala, diBlasio, Booker, and Ryan.
Doomflower · 36-40, M
@GJOFJ3 if the dems put Biden up for election we will get 4 more years of Trump.

@GJOFJ3 Biden is starting to show his age too much to have a chance, he couldn't even remember his website
NativeOregonian · 51-55
@Doomflower Exactly, more and more people are tired of establishment insiders.
Doomflower · 36-40, M
@NativeOregonian it's not just that. He has gaffes for days. He is constantly fumbling over his words. I am sick and tired of demented, bumbling old men.

@Doomflower And his creepy hair smelling fetish that the #metoo movement is strangely ignoring.
Doomflower · 36-40, M
@NativeOregonian I... wasn't aware of that.
NativeOregonian · 51-55
@Doomflower Yep, Biden is like that creepy lecherous uncle that likes hugging all the female cousins and smelling their hair. It actually reminds me of 1992, when Bill Clinton had the Gennifer Flowers rape scandal and the press largely ignored it. Yet in 1984, Gary Hart from Colorado was forced out, all over a photo of a woman on his lap taken before he was even married.

@NativeOregonian I feel like the information environment is so out of whack I can't even form an informed opinion based on actual facts.
NativeOregonian · 51-55
@Doomflower The problem is that the corrupt establishment mass media churns out so much bullshit, it is difficult discerning facts from fake.
Doomflower · 36-40, M
@NativeOregonian that and Trump and his ilk seem to have figured out how to keep the libs in a constant outrage cycle.

I don't care what Trump says. I'm more concerned about McConnell quietly confirming judges and women's rights being attacked.

Now I am hungry.

@Doomflower I personally think Trump is pulling a long con to play everyone a fool, to show both just how vile the repubs and their base voters are, and it came to me last night, just how vitriolic intolerant the dems are.
Doomflower · 36-40, M
@NativeOregonian I can't really blame democrats for developing an intolerance issue. There has to be a line. To me, Trump is it. If you're a Trump follower you're irredeemably stupid in my eyes.
Saxo2000 · 41-45, M
@Doomflower You just hit the nail on the head, Trump is a distraction from the underlying problems
Doomflower · 36-40, M
@Saxo2000 yeah. Trump is too stupid to get where he is on his own.
NativeOregonian · 51-55
@Doomflower I feel the same way, even more so since they are so clueless that Trump is playing his base to the hilt.
NativeOregonian · 51-55
@Saxo2000 Exactly
NativeOregonian · 51-55
@Doomflower I'd say Trump is a genius to how he is subtly exposing Washington politics and the media the way he is.
Doomflower · 36-40, M
@NativeOregonian I doubt he's a drunken master.
NativeOregonian · 51-55
@Doomflower You never know. I once worked at a truck stop owned by a former Lt. Governor of the state of Nevada, ran on the Democrat ticket, him and the guy who picked him for his running mate won in the early 80's. Nine months in he switched to repub, my boss was running a long con. He later admitted he should have waited until he got elected as governor to switch, he lost that bid.
Doomflower · 36-40, M
@NativeOregonian ugh. Why bother voting? On election day I'm masturbating instead.
NativeOregonian · 51-55
@Doomflower That sounds like a plan too, seriously not joking or being sarcastic, protest masturbation, it could catch on :)
