2020 Democratic Field

[fan_since79]

It's already getting crowded.

Half of these people I've never heard of.

I think I found Adam's new profile pic

YANG 2020!

[fan_since79]

I've got dibs on Delaney!

 

[Adam]

Gillibrand did some shady crony shit for us in NY a couple years ago so I'm pulling for her

[Tank]

Hilary will have no problem snow plowing through all of them.

I didn't know Gabbard was running.  If she clears the primaries she would be a good candidate for the dems.

It will be Warren, Harris or Sanders

She's the only one out of that whole group that I can tolerate.

There is some real doubt that Harris is a "natural born citizen" and eligible for the presidency.

I think someone would have to sue first for this to be ironed out in court.

[Rico]

Warren, Gabbard, Booker, Biden, Bloomberg, and Clinton get a NO from me right off the bat.

The others I'm open to or don't really know enough about.

Currently pulling for my girl Klobuchar.

Why does Gabbard get a no from you?

Friendly with Assad and past anti-gay activism.

[fan_since79]

I'll take Delaney. Pragmatic and bipartisan problem solver. We could use some of that right now. 

Old white guy too.

Fair enough

I wouldn’t say she is “friendly” with Assad. She just views him as a necessary evil who fights against ISIS.

So she did the whole switcheroo thing just like Obama.

[Adam]

Obama is black so he could never be anti-gay

[fan_since79]

Gabbard is saying Democrats share the blame for the prolonged shutdown, both sides engaging in partisan politics and refusing to compromise.

She gets points for that in my book. Let's hear it for reason and common sense.

Ya I don’t think the friendly with Assad bit is fair.  I view her outlook on that positively.  You have to accept the world as it is and go from there.  Assad is the person who holds power in Syria.  Whether we like that or not. He’s the one to deal with. 

Also, I’ll add the the whole situation over there with Assad and rebels is pretty complex.  Believe it or not, Assad does have the support of a significant number of the Syrian people.  Including minorities.  He’s actually fairly secular and definitley an enemy of Islamic fundamentalists.  I’m not saying he’s a good guy, but it is what it is. 

As far as the gay activism.  She’s tried to make that right.  I view that as less problematic then Kamala Harris record as prosecutor.

It's not just that she was anti-gay, she was an anti-gay activist.

Are you saying she was a proponent of the no gay marriage bill?

Seriously, is that really worse than Obama getting in front of millions of people on tv and saying that "marriage is between a man and a woman"?  

Come on.

[UndertheHalo]

For me personally, I won’t disqualify her because of the anti gay stuff in the past.  I’d like to hear more from her.

I knew it! UTH is a MAGA

[Make Angels Great Again]

Gabbard would easily win the Presidency.

So clearly the Dem establishment won't be backing her.
