Jose Garcia

(3,456 posts) Wed Nov 6, 2019, 09:45 AM Nov 2019

Stacy Abrams and Andrew Gillum ran as progressives. Andy Beshear ran as a moderate. [View all]

Kentucky is much more conservative than either Florida or Georgia.

Keep these fact in mind when deciding who to support for the presidential nomination.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

Yupper! KPN Nov 2019 #30

Yup. And Biden was out in Virginia two days before campaigning for Democrats running still_one Nov 2019 #4

It had nothing to do with progressive vs moderate Submariner Nov 2019 #6

It was sanctioned voter fraud in Georgia! MyOwnPeace Nov 2019 #28

Exactly. KPN Nov 2019 #32

Turnout is Key to winning ritapria Nov 2019 #7

It's more about turnout than labels. KPN Nov 2019 #33

If there had not been hijinks with voter suppression, both Gillum and Abrams would have won. tblue37 Nov 2019 #8

But that doesn't fit the dogma. KPN Nov 2019 #34

I was thrilled when Bernie was out supporting Beshear. Especially when Nanjeanne Nov 2019 #9

Shouldn't spread the words of that right winger. TidalWave46 Nov 2019 #22

Bernie never endorsed Beshear... Lexblues Nov 2019 #24

This also confirms our Primary elections in the midwest last year. Moderates won, progressives lost. George II Nov 2019 #10

No it doesn't. It confirms voter turnout wins. KPN Nov 2019 #35

It confirms both. The voters who turned out were by and large "moderates". George II Nov 2019 #39

Thanks for telling me who to support in the primary pecosbob Nov 2019 #11

Beshar had support from teh Bernie Hassin Bin Sober Nov 2019 #14

Beshar was no where to be found when Sanders came. He ran a local campaign...not national. Demsrule86 Nov 2019 #16

Bevin said this...but Beshar did not appear with Sanders...it was an attack by Bevin...nice try Demsrule86 Nov 2019 #17

Your tweet is from Bevin. NT TidalWave46 Nov 2019 #21

Think about this... sacto95834 Nov 2019 #15

They try do that every time he is on the ballot in WV Jose Garcia Nov 2019 #19

The Rs label every Democrat a liberal. What's your KPN Nov 2019 #36

That's exactly my point. sacto95834 Nov 2019 #40

Great point! Centrist_Dem Nov 2019 #18

I'm confident that Abrams won by at least the margin it looks like Beshear will win. NT TidalWave46 Nov 2019 #20

Yes elleng Nov 2019 #27

Yup. And likely Gillum did as well or would KPN Nov 2019 #37

You might be right. TidalWave46 Nov 2019 #41

KY is actually not as conservative as FL or GA Lexblues Nov 2019 #25

Abrams and Gillum had their races STOLEN EveHammond13 Nov 2019 #26

ABSOLUTELY! MyOwnPeace Nov 2019 #29

Yup. KPN Nov 2019 #38

It wasn't stolen from Bevin. Perhaps the GOP isn't afraid of progressives Jose Garcia Nov 2019 #31
