(46,151 posts)Im sure journalist David Sirota is working on a piece of JOURNALISM to help destroy Joe as we speak.
All our candidates are GREAT, including Bernie, Elizabeth and Joe. I look forward to an exciting debate schedule. No doubt the three of them can hold their own as colleagues together in an honest debate about policy.
This isnt about our Democrats destroying each other: its about debating and finding the Presidential candidate who can lift up America and destroy Donald Trump at the ballot box.

And, I agree with what you posted... that's a fair summary of what it will take to win, regardless of who's the candidate.

(46,151 posts)It is definitely one of her strengths and thats one of the reasons shes on my short list. She has also done a ton to protect people from voracious corporations.
Biden has strengths as well. Joe would be able to repair our damaged relationship with our allies on day one. No one else could step on the international stage and bring back the confidence our allies used to have in us. He has some strengths in domestic policies as well.
All of our candidates are wonderful in one way or another. As primary voters we have a wealth of choices. I just hope DU can celebrate that, and not try to tear all our good candidates down out of shortsightedness

(46,151 posts)Totally different topic though, do you believe Biden was sexist when he went after Rudy in 2008?
Both Warren and Biden have the same style of attacking Republicans w humor and biting sarcastic insults.
Neither Warren or Biden are sexists.
Was Warren a sexist when she sarcastically attacked Trump in 2016? No.
IMHO it is a bit of a stretch to accuse Biden or Warren of that.
Just because you may prefer another candidate doesnt mean the ones you dont like are sexists when they go after Republicans.
JMHO but I think Warren and Biden will join forces at some point. That would be a powerhouse team!

(8,545 posts)She's in a tough position because nobody wants to go after Democratic opponents who might end up being the nominee. But it's tough to imagine watching that clip and not thinking Warren should be ahead of Biden in the polls.
And yes, that "You're very good, Professor" was not a good look. He treated her remarks like a game while she was fighting to save families from financial ruin.

Our candidates are patriots who believe in a fair shake for the 99%
The Republicans dont give a damn about the most vulnerable in our society. Or working people. Or the middle class. For them It is all about Trump types and his fellow wealthy parasites.

(3,449 posts)I think this is bullshit. All we have to do is use President Nazi's own words against him. All we have to do is have a plan for the farmers so that their family farms don't go bankrupt and get gobbled up by BigAg for pennies on the dollar. All we have to do is show how renewable energy is the solution for multiple problems including sustainable careers for a more stable future. All we have to do is call out republican obstruction, corruption and indifference to the suffering of millions of hard working Americans without fear. All we have to do is simply tell Americans the truth. We will win.

(46,151 posts)because quite honestly that discourages other voter from going to the polls.
See 2016 for example
Rarely does my primary choice win the nomination. My usual strategy is to get behind the eventual nominee in a loud and proud way. Not saying you have to do that though. It is up too you how vote etc. Just asking you dont inadvertently discourage others into sitting home and not voting for the Democrat over Trump
Appreciate you and your posts

(82,383 posts)this only had to do with bankruptcy. And you can still make a case for student loan forgiveness. It has turned out that it is very hard, but that is from court decisions. The credit card industry employed people in Delaware, and if you lived there, you'd feel the same, and no doubt your Senator does what seems best to the voters of your state, whether the rest of us like it or not.

(37,648 posts)who doesn't participate. He only posts videos (his own videos,IMO). So he gets paid for each click. Never a comment. Never a thought. Never a contribution. Never a response to anyone. I imagine he spends a lot of time posting his videos on various sites every day. He's not a real participant. A real participant answers even just an occasional response to his post, IMO. At some time.

(70 posts)The title is, Professor Warren tries to protect us from Senator Bidens credit card industry bill. And my chosen candidate is Warren. My bias is pretty clear.
I think Biden is the worst possible choice of candidate and I hope older Dems dont screw us over because they think he is the most electable. He isnt.

(70 posts)Vote for your favorite candidate. If we all vote for our favorite candidate in the primary, we will be sure to have the strongest candidate for the general. 90% of Republicans are going to vote for Trump. Our goal must be inspiring the Democratic electorate and infrequent voters. That is our path to victory. Picking the candidate who is our third or forth choice because we think he can win is about the only way we could end up losing this thing.

(46,151 posts)Rarely does my primary candidate win the nomination.
So I just suck it up and get behind the eventual nominee in the general election as if they were my first choice to begin with.
Loud and proud!
Knock doors, make calls, tell everyone the nominee is the best thing since sliced bread.
This is the only way I know how to be. We need to win back congress and the White House so we can put our policies to work lifting up the lives of Americans!

(17,201 posts)He may be our best bet, but he won't be my first choice and is not among my front-runners -- largely because of stuff like this.
In my view, he has either immensely underestimated the consequences and effect of some of the positions he has taken during his career or he has disregarded those consequences. I like to think that it's the first. But regardless, it is not a great trait. Biden has at best inadvertantly supported too many positions that slighted economic and civil justice in his long career for my liking.
