The 2020 Presidential Race
Lots of people running though most dems right now.
This is the thread for all that discussion. That being said looking at what we have now I would pick Weld even though he has no shot in hell. EDIT: Link for the political positions of the Democratic Candidates. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Politi...ary_candidates Profile for Weld https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_W...ntial_campaign Profile for Trump https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald...ntial_campaign Profile for Joe Walsh https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Wa...ois_politician) |
Lol you literally made this thread after that comment :rofl:
Idk. A few months ago I figured Sanders or Kamala Harris for the nominee. But there is so little change of Sanders getting the nod. The candidates are running so far left. But that's generally the nature for the primaries. Andrew Yang and Tulsi Gabbard on JRE was cool |
I feel like Bernie's time has come and gone. He's too old and has gotten more extreme in his views.
Kamala Harris I feel will be going into the primaries with some good momentum given her background. I'm very interested to see how far Andrew Yang goes running on the UBI platform. It'll be fun to see how some conservatives view his policies. I would love to see someone like Pete Buttigieg do well in the primaries. |
It's funny how Beto has completely fallen off the map. I think Harris definitely scores some intersectionality points but she put a lot of people away as the DA in CA. I find myself liking some UBI ideas but who knows, that may just be my naïveté.
And omg I just remembered de Blasio put his name in the ring :Olawd: |
Trumps gonna win. The end.
|
Kamala does not have the immigration policy down a of yet.
Pete showed really well on Fox surprisingly. Even got a standing ovation from the audience. Bernie too old Joe too old/baggage Kamala has no real foreign policy or immigration ideas Beto is lurking And the remaining field of candidates are just hoping on the train to be there. |
The last thing the Left wants is to run another old white guy. The party has moved too far left and towards socialism and its all about identity politics. The polls are showing the Left is least interested in voting for a white male. A women, a women of color, a man of color or a gay male all rank higher.
With that said Biden seems like the likely getting the nod at this point. The far left is going to reject him. But it's early. |

Yep. That comment reminded me it was time. Quote:
Sanders is done. He is imo to old. I was a Bernie Bro back in the primaries as he seemed the most reasonable. But now with his talks of free everything and guaranteed jobs. I just cannot support him. He moved left to keep up with the dems. Harris and Booker both are a no for me. I have not gone through all the Dems yet but so far I have not found anyone I liked yet. Quote:
This is what I do not like about the current left. I am a moderate by nature. I see both conservative and liberal points. This push against the white male is something I cannot get behind. Politics should have nothing to do with race/gender/sexual orientation. |
There seems to be solid evidence for a push behind the #notwhitemale. Look up all the folks who sponsored the recent spat of abortion bills....and then look up how many of them have a clue on a woman's reproductive cycle. That and we are the only first world country who has NOT had a female in the white house.
I agree Future. However, the recent spat of bills is just one of many examples why I see a push to not have a white male With that said, I really do like Pete. Young, charismatic, seems to have his footing and overall a well rounded human. Its nice to see someone so fluent in several languages, however still respects our Amendment rights. The two CAN exist with compromise vs what we have now on "My way or the higway!" However, considering the bible thumpers, I cannot image the cog dissonance of most of the folks who are extreme 2nd Amendment right and anti-abortion followers to vote for a military vet, who is gay, who speaks several languages and still respects the 2nd amendment..........and oh snap, AND is a white male. I do agree with his stance; Fox News audience never had access to someone from the middle/left, so him appearing on Fox was a solid in my book. That and he lacks the political baggage of just about every single Dem candidate. |
Quote:
My issue with the push against white males is the fact it is simply because they are white males. It is no different to me than people rallying for a woman simply because she is a woman. IMO both are equally as bad as it should be about policy and qualifications. I realize though not a lot of people feel that way. I know a lot of people who voted for Obama because he was black first and policy second. I believe we push against bad policy vs look at the group identity of who is making the bad policy. Abortion is never going to be a solved issue. It will volley back and forth between the left and the right. Same with the 2a. This article sums up my exactly feelings on Pete. https://www.usatoday.com/story/opini...mn/3682707002/ |

Not all of them are. https://arrow-journal.org/why-people...-white-people/ Some of the left support black only college housing. By definition that would be racist to exclude people from housing based on the color of their skin. It is literally what MLK stood against. Some on the left try to say it is ok by victimizing us with the "poor black people" stint saying we need a safe space away from white people. They can call it what they want but it is still racist. But double standards yo. Because when white people tried the same thing it became a controversy https://www.nationalreview.com/2018/...ocial-justice/ |
I was being sarcastic. Many of them are also open anti-semites or allow such anti-semetic BS in their party, it's nuts.

It's been almost three years since Trump got in and a huge percentage of America has still not accepted it. And they complained about the chance that HE would not accept the election results. The political leftists are on the fringe with a loud minority. Even all the polling of dems shows Biden ahead by double digits. It's going to be a long period of Republican presidents unless a popular centrist can blossom among the left. Americans are also tired of deplatforming any human being with which the left disagrees. It's not even shady anymore; it's extremely transparent. |
Ah AOC. That is one cause both the left and the right should unite against.
For the dem nomination I am thinking either Biden or Warren. Not my personal selection. More of who might actually get chosen. But let's be honest. We have not had a one term president since 1992 so hate or like Trump the chance of his re-election is rather high. |

What everybody said, the left is completely unhinged and has become waaaay too radical. Seems like they're competing to see which candidate proposes the most radical policies, things that no even lord obama would have approved (at least back in his time), and all just to earn a group of voters that have completely gone insane due to their TDS.
That, plus the dems not doing a damn thing for the past 3 years except look for ways to get the potus out, I think is really gonna help good old trumpy. Meanwhile, we got all these libs running away from their leftist "paradises", maintaining the same voting habits in their new refuges, spreading their blue cancer throughout the country... I really can't understand these people. I dont know who will get the dem nomination, but I can tell you it wont be sanders or biden. While sander's policies are way out there with the rest of the cadidates, they are both old white males, which at the moment is one of the biggest redflags among dems, their enemy. For me, the choice is very clear... remember, this is a car forum after all. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/D16X3W2VAAEF2Hf.jpg |

I think he's a good potential candidate and look forward to seeing how he plays out in the primary debates. |
I find it funny how some think the Dems are getting too radical. They are still the same capitalists that they always were. It's obvious they are trying to be more palpable to people further left, as they always have, but I can assure you they are still going to fight the same battles Obama did. Appeasing billionaires, drone striking the middle east, etc. all while keeping up a façade of a down-to-earth dude in the White House.
This is not the revolution we are looking for, comrades. PS diversity is cool, stop defending white males, sincerely, a white male. |
The push towards socialism is new. Bernie was the first one to get the hype going and AOC and the rest of the Democratic Party are running with the ball. These were views that even during the Obama years were laughed at. They now “seem mainstream”. I put that in quotes because it’s not. The media is just an echo chamber and the Left can’t see outside their bubble to see the majority of Americans ject these ideas.
|
Mueller's press conference was meant to reiterate that there is no crime that can be charged to the pres. All the talking heads in the MSM are reporting that he said the opposite :rofl:
Their viewers (even fewer than the number on Zilvia) are seriously pissed because they were promised collusion for two years. |

Need to update thread title to "2020 presidential race/white tears thread"
My politic opinions aside I think Trump will be re-elected. And I have no friggin clue who will end up running against him. Prob Biden because he's the most familiar household name, seems to be the motif behind elections as of late. The touchy-feely fiasco seems to be blowing over a little bit. If anything some left wing twitter trolls will start reposting creepy pics of Trump and his kids. Or creepy quotes. As much as the right blames the media for shafting them, the left has been getting boned too. I think the average dem is a lot more moderate than what the right is being led to believe by "viral" news, which I could be wrong about but that's my opinion at least. Both sides seem to have their mascots for egregious behavior, the more sensible politicians don't get as much of a spotlight. |
Quote:
You should probably do some more research and re-watch the statement. Mueller stated that the Office of Legal Counsel which is under the Department of Justice in which the Special Counsel is beheld to, is bound by a ruling that states that no sitting president can be charged with a crime. With that ruling set as precedence, Mueller could not at this time charge the president with obstruction of justice and specifically mentioned that the investigation did not exonerate Trump in respect to obstruction of justice. |

In the real world you want effectiveness, regardless of diversity. You want someone to get a job done, you hire the person most capable, regardless of their creed or sexual preference. Note: reminding everyone of your personal preferences and pushing your own agenda on the bosses clock is not productive.. PS The color of your skin is meaningless while expressing yourself. Stop being racist. |
Quote:
What do you think is the point of saying there is not evidence that a crime was not committed? There is a reason not to cite evidence of a crime when there is no opportunity to defend one's self in court. Which will not happen because he is not charging Trumpito with anything. |

Hmmm this race is cray! I feel like the Dems' best chance to beat Trump is to nominate Biden. But the other candidates and the media are attacking him lol. Probably because he's the front runner and also because of his low qualifying status in the oppression olympics. And that was strange with him changing opinions so quickly on the Hyde Amendment. Makes him seem dishonest and inauthentic.

The media is run by politicians. It's what creates mass hysteria or the opposite. They can manipulate the people stupid enough to not have their own opinion any way they want - unless you're one of those dumbasses that tune in to see what the newest leaked sex tape is or who lost a toe scuba diving in the Bahamas after they parked their three million dollar yacht too close to the barrier reef.
I like to take in opinions of all parties and make an educated decision on who would be a good fit at that particular time as well as track record, credentials, truth to word, and a few other factors. I tend to swing Republican mainly because I enjoy my constitutional rights and I don't think a person sleeping in a fancy house should be able to take them away from me. If you want an abortion, cool. If you want to own an underground bunker filled with legally registered guns, cool. If you want to openly talk shit about Oprah Winfrey, cool. I'm down with it as long it's legal and follows your rights to the T. |
I'm a little over halfway through Andrew Yang on The Rubin Report and I've gotta say, I dig his ideas. He's already in the June and July debates and close to the requirement to get into the later ones. Looking forward to watching his performance. If he gets the nominee, I have to say I may through him a vote.

It seems like the cleanest way to avoid extreme poverty and reduce reliance on public assistance all in one go. Yang likens it to a dividend check based on being a stakeholder in the United States. He will make it one or the other, either food stamps and related programs, OR the $1,000/month check. Those that would choose the money (and therefore be able to spend it however they like) will immediately leave the other programs freeing up money for the UBI itself. And all that extra spending money may be reintroduced into the economy when people begin spending it. https://www.8thcivic.com/forums/imag...ies/hungry.gif https://www.8thcivic.com/forums/imag.../2thumbsup.gif |
The vast majority of people would be buying cigarettes, beer and 7/11 hot dogs. I don't think the money would be funneling back into the economy in an optimal way as it would just end up in the hands of a few large corporations. And the marginal positive impact it would do for the economy would be negated by the incredibly high cost.
The democrats all seem to think that there's an endless supply of money that can be pulled for free healthcare, free college, UBI, $15+/hr minimum wage, etc. Now Bernie is at least admitting that his programs will be funded by taxes. If any of these people are end up in the white house you can expect your effective salary to drop significantly as a result of higher taxes and an overall higher cost of living. |
You don't think that money would go primarily to pay rent? That's where I would use it first. And then secondly, on the Silvia https://www.8thcivic.com/forums/imag...s/eyebrows.gif
|
Sure, but it's still more residual money at the end of the day. You would have a more money to spend on the Silvia.

It’s like AOC’s GND. She and the climate folks (for the record I believe in climate change but that’s whole other conversation) claim if we don’t do something drastic immediately we’re doomed. So the republicans let them vote on it and she cries fowl. So what is it? Do we need to do something drastic right this min or no? The Democrats has the chance and they passed. Because it’s bs virtue signaling. |
I've seen so much information in the past few years and I am seriously concerned about rising CO2 levels in the atmosphere. Stopping all fossil fuel use would devastate economies; especially those developing nations that have not yet completed their industrial revolutions. It would relegate them to perpetual poverty. I'm not sure the answer. Could be Teslas for everyone! Or shit. Let's all walk around!!

I know the liberals in this thread have continually dismissed my claims that more POC and women are supporting Trump, but hey don’t take my word for it. Take a Lefties research on on.
https://www.nytimes.com/2019/08/07/u...ting-rise.html The reactions to this are hilarious! And what’s even better the response on social media from POC is completely confirming it. Here’s a hint: the bullies on the left have shown their true colors and every day citizens are tired of it. |
Quote:
This article mentions the POTUS having more support but does not mention poc or women. It does not mention any race or gender. I am not certain how you attribute the article data to mean poc or women. If anything the article simply breaks down into people who liked Trump vs people did not but now do. It suggest it could be republicans, former democrats or independents. Quote:

Quote:
The reason I bring this report up is because I’ve said in this thread there are some strong movements among POC supporting Trump that i follow on the Gram. It’s dismissed as “oh there’s this inebriate black guy you follow”, when indeed it’s not. It’s MANY and the movement is real. The left wants to deny it, but it looks like even they are starting to come to terms with it. Well not really because the response online has been historical. |
Quote:
This I must disagree with. You are extrapolating. One cannot infer anything in regards to race or gender with this article as there is no data to infer it with. The author did not point out race or gender. He pointed out political affiliation. Now to your point the #blexit movement IS real and gaining support.

That is part of what Exit is arguing. The CURRENT constitutional law says one thing. This state governor is trying to bypass the constitution which is wrong. Exit is arguing if politicians want something changed they should go about it the proper way and get the constitution updated. Like he said there is a process for that. I don’t know if you read the article but even the previous governor said it was a bad idea. Quote:

Quote:
My intial thought is California could have saved themselves a lot of time and money by not passing useless legislation. Unless they are truly stupid they know full well it will be ruled unconstitutional. IMO it is political theater at its finest. The senate and governor can now say how they tried but they got over turned by the potus’s Supreme Court (as we all know it will). Their constituents eat it up and vote accordingly. These days the tough on crime shtick seems be another voter trick. People like the idea despite not knowing what it really means. The phrasing sounds good. I think a classical conservative, or a libertarian depending om how one looks at it, should be softer on some crimes. Mandatory sentencing Three strike rules Draconian drug sentencing are a few “tough” things republicans and Democrats alike should rethink. Prison reform is needed ins major way but it’s a hard sell to a lot of America. |

And also, Joe Biden (calling criminals “predators”) has been a STRONG advocate of being tough on crime. Hell so was Clinton and Obama. Quote:
