It continues to amaze me how many people insist that we alienate as many people as possible before we even get to the general election cycle.

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

Highlight:

Many don't understand when Biden etc. talk about "working with Republicans" [View all] themaguffin Feb 2020 OP

So it's just empty rhetoric? bluewater Feb 2020 #1

No, that's not what I said. themaguffin Feb 2020 #4

That's the definition of empty rhetoric. bluewater Feb 2020 #6

No, it absolutely is not. Your response is illogical themaguffin Feb 2020 #7

You support Warren. I love Warren. She is my 2nd choice. Many of her proposals also have 0% chance.. phleshdef Feb 2020 #12

You support Biden. I respect Biden. "Working with Republicans" has 0% chance bluewater Feb 2020 #14

Newsflash: Under current senate rules and the senate math, Warren will HAVE to work with the GOP too phleshdef Feb 2020 #20

Newsflash: The Republicans are not going to "work with" Democrats in the Senate. bluewater Feb 2020 #21

Oh well, I guess Warren or Biden or whoever will be a do nothing President. phleshdef Feb 2020 #22

Like President Obama you mean? bluewater Feb 2020 #23

Had Obama not had Democratic majorities for a few years, he would have accomplished next to nothing. phleshdef Feb 2020 #26

Thank you for making my point. bluewater Feb 2020 #27

You don't have a point and you are arguing with yourself more than you are me. phleshdef Feb 2020 #29

Joe Biden could not make "working with Republicans" work when he was VP bluewater Feb 2020 #31

Actually it was Biden that stepped in and negotiated reopening the government and getting otherwise. phleshdef Feb 2020 #32

Merrick Garland says "hello" lol bluewater Feb 2020 #33

Warren can't implement her plans that way. You don't understand basic civics apparently. phleshdef Feb 2020 #35

You threw stones while living in a glass house. And now you are homeless. ChubbyStar Feb 2020 #37

What I am is 100% correct about every single thing I've said on this topic. phleshdef Feb 2020 #38

I you say so. HeartlandProgressive Feb 2020 #39

If you disagree, point out what I said that isn't correct. phleshdef Feb 2020 #41

Well you have spoken I guess that decides it ChubbyStar Feb 2020 #40

You obviously are incapable of rebutting anything I said. phleshdef Feb 2020 #42

Oh dear you need a nap ChubbyStar Feb 2020 #48

Real profile in courage! phleshdef Feb 2020 #49

Trusting Republicans is hilarious. HeartlandProgressive Feb 2020 #44

I don't trust them. That doesn't change the mathematical facts and the rules of the Senate. phleshdef Feb 2020 #50

This went down hill quickly lol bluewater Feb 2020 #45

. HeartlandProgressive Feb 2020 #46

Trusting Republicans is naive. HeartlandProgressive Feb 2020 #43

I don't think anyone is against making compromises when it's a fair deal for us TheRealNorth Feb 2020 #47

That's not the point. themaguffin Feb 2020 #24

Medicare for all radical noodle Feb 2020 #19

A politician who can't be honest and forthright is a republican. nt in2herbs Feb 2020 #2

Exactly. TwilightZone Feb 2020 #3

Yep and look how comments responding don't get it themaguffin Feb 2020 #5

Yep, very knee jerk. Lack of sophistication and understanding of how the world works. Dream Girl Feb 2020 #8

That's the usual around here. TwilightZone Feb 2020 #10

Yep. Scurrilous Feb 2020 #55

Nuance escapes some, others are being deliberately obtuse. Scurrilous Feb 2020 #9

Unfortunately themaguffin Feb 2020 #17

Very deliberately obtuse. LakeArenal Feb 2020 #28

AOC pulled that the day she was rotated in to pump 'Biden cut S.S.' poutrage. Scurrilous Feb 2020 #54

Unless we win the Senate and nuke the filibuster entirely, he will have no choice. phleshdef Feb 2020 #11

No fair using reason. OneMoreCupOfCoffee Feb 2020 #25

Has he pointed out a reasonable Republican yet?? gibraltar72 Feb 2020 #13

That doesn't change the point. themaguffin Feb 2020 #15

crickets bluewater Feb 2020 #18

I understand where your coming from but.. DEbluedude Feb 2020 #16

Never say never. Always leave the door open. LakeArenal Feb 2020 #30

Agreed. TwilightZone Feb 2020 #34

the question IS will the GOP MOVE LEFT? they refused to work w/ obama. pansypoo53219 Feb 2020 #36

Exactly. Biden thinks they're going to magically start working with him? SMC22307 Feb 2020 #53
