In reply to the discussion: Morning Consult poll has Tom Steyer at 6% in early primary states, only 2 points behind Harris [View all]emmaverybo
(8,148 posts)15. Maybe he doesn't subscribe to a plan in every pot at a time when so many existing social
services and programs are broken, underfunded, non-functional, or endangered. And maybe hes thinking about the large tax raises bold and new will lead to and the deficit, which we must grapple with, as it, like student debt keeps growing.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

Steyer grew up middle class and did not have anything handed to him. He worked hard to succeed.

He doesn't know how to give back, but give his loud opinion on ads. He's never held elected office

I disagree, ancianita. Steyer started an organization focused on helping Democrats GOTV in 2018.

Steyer is also an environmentalist who believes climate change is the biggest challenge humans face.

Tru tat. Steyer is a Great guy. But, the Dem party should be owning Impeachment.

I heard that Nadler said the articles of impeachment are waiting until after the current break.

If you don't mind me asking, what are Steyer's ads like? What issues do they touch on?

He is doing better in the early states, I would guess, because he is running the most ads there.

Seriously? Just on his words? Weighed with the accomplishments of a governor, senators?
