US Election 2020

[Forty Two]

>>Former staffers told the website that the senator was “habitually demeaning and prone to bursts of cruelty,” often calling the staffers and their work “the worst.” <<

Sounds like Trump! Perfect challenger! Except she won’t fire her staff once there is a working team.

No, they'll all quit. She had the highest staff turnover rate in the Senate, at 36 percent. 36% turnover rate, LOL. At least three people withdrew themselves from consideration for jobs on her presidential campaign because of rumors involving her mistreating staff.

But, wait, she's a Democrat, so queue the line of dumbasses who try to sell her as "badass." The leftist rallying cry -- badass!

[Tero]

Quit complaining. You would prefer her if Bernie gets nominated. She's more like Biden.

You can't change the world with underpaid kids just out of college (which term of hers were these lazy bums that quite making a stink?). Fairly new senators don't get the best staffs. Also, it sounds like the same penny pinching the Democrats here in the prairie do, as they have to raise all the funds themselves, national party won't waste money on a senator or congressperson running Democrat in the prairie.

The result is about the same as the senator candidate I supported in November from here.

Klobuchar: “Her voting record is safe. It’s very centrist and that’s just not what we’re about,” said Anita Seeling of Minnetonka, vice-chair of Our Revolution Minnesota’s board. “We need somebody that’s a champion.”

Klobuchar hasn’t embraced other progressive priorities, including a $15 minimum wage and tuition-free college. She hasn’t endorsed calls to abolish Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Our Revolution is a national offshoot of Sanders’ 2016 campaign. The Minnesota group has several local chapters and a membership base of about 9,000, Seeling said.

But 42, you've said yourself that Trump is probably a terrible boss and you'd never want to work for him. I don't say that to downplay what you've shared about this person. I'm just questioning your motives. I mean wtf dude? If being a bad boss doesn't bother you, and you've said your guy is a bad boss, then why bring up this other person being a bad boss?

It makes it look like you're campaigning for Trump. It's something I can imagine people who work in and around politics doing. It's deliberate. You're attacking an opponent rather than relaying some information we may all find helpful.

Now, who gives a shit, right? I shouldn't give a shit. Maybe she is a bad boss and maybe I should be thankful to you for sharing that. But I gotta say it bothers the fuck out of me to know or to strongly suspect anyway that you're just campaigning.

[Tero]

I trust Minnesota. I've lived in the Midwest most of my life. I live in a college town in a red state now. Not ruling out Minnesota or Wisconsin yet. Though Wisconsin gets a little less points from me. I got a PhD there in liberal times.

Would you vote for someone who got rich, then went into politics?

Or would you prefer someone who went into politics, then got rich?

[Tero]

To answer your question, I would not vote for Hillary in a primary again. I will be keeping close tabs on wealth, but I will vote for a more centrist rather than a leftie liberal in the primary. We need to replace Trump and I don't want to pull this thing too far left too early. Once we have sneaked in our liberal to the office, we will fix everything. Klobuchar is from a state that produces both democrats and conservatives, though both can be good leaders as long as it's not Trump. I might even vote for a Republican in some situations if it helps pull THEM to the middle. I could register as Republican if necessary.

The usual trolls are trolling. Why write one post when six will do.

Jesus you are a broken record. Can't you get a life or something?

[Tero]

42 claims, in comparison to Asshole Trump and his staff, are BS

Aboslute rubbish. All this does is continue to move the centre to the right. The people support the policies of Bernie, so why not give them the chance to vote someone like him in?

It seems to me, that in the US system, it would pay to be registered with both parties, leave both wondering who you voted for, and this way you could affect both parties in the direction you thought best for that party.

I don't really know your systems though.

He looks better to me now than he did a few weeks ago, but still not a leader.

I don't know how he should have dealt with Hillary stealing his spot, but the way it rolled out, he chose to be other than a leader at the end.

[Cunt]

Tero, I know we have our differences around politics, but I would like your help in a bit of...well, I don't know whether to call it a lie, or just marketing wankery...

I would like to refer to a group of these as a 'legislature' of them. I think if a few people start doing it, it will catch on.

I wish to call them that because they are smart like fruit (and can be picked and eaten nearly as easily) and they waddle around oblivious to the world around them, looking great.

Of course, only one in this photo, so not a 'legislature' of ptarmigans...

Because Bernie would get about 30% of the vote here. Hillary got 35%, any other centrist would have got 40%. We would lose all our independents. Not bother to vote. How did Bernie poll in national polls?
The president does not drive Democrat politics as much as a Trump or a Reagan. A centrist will sign the bills.

[pErvinalia]

And a centrist will keep selling out to the conservatives. It's a counterproductive strategy as can be seen by the last 30 years of Democrats moving towards the right.

[Tero]

Well they had to. Bill Clinton was a gift to the right. He was Democrat in name only. But the Republican party was strong, now they are under 30% of voters. One good thing out of Trump! Push the Republicans closer to the dump.

But as we saw in 2016 there is now more of a suspicion of evil government. It’s tricky to fix things big scale, healthcare, then have voters try to keep you in leash.

[Svartalf]

problem is that one thing frump amply demonstrated is that the GOP doesn't need a plurality of the popular vote to win the presidency, just a majority of the electoral college... and that, by maintaining majorities in key Red states by hook or crook, they were definitely able to obtain that. So long as red states will keep a disproportionate amount of electoral college seats, and will remain red either because the population is moronic, brainwashed, or driven away from the ballot bow; there will be a disproportionate number of Conservative presidents elected, regardless of the wishes of the majority of the nation.
