The 2020 thread....

Why do you say that?

Props to Cory. I don't see this interview helping him in the South or Midwest.

The New Jersey Democrat recently told VegNews that he started experimenting with a vegetarian diet around 1992 and then eliminated dairy foods as well, making his diet completely animal-free.

You see the planet earth moving towards what is the Standard American Diet,” he told VegNews. “We’ve seen this massive increase in consumption of meat produced by the industrial animal agriculture industry.

“The tragic reality is this planet simply can’t sustain billions of people consuming industrially produced animal agriculture because of environmental impact. It’s just not possible, as China, as Africa move toward consuming meat the same way America does because we just don’t have enough land.”

Crazy Bernie has just entered the race. I wish him well!

One can only hope Bernie doesn’t cost us two elections but goddamnit if he ain’t going to do his best…


It’s up to the voters

Are you saying Bernie shouldn't run?

Ugh no…I said anybody who wants to be president should, right?!? Let the voters decide


Now whether the Democratic Party should have let him run in its primaries is a fair question but that train left the station years ago

where are you going with that logic…so in 2016 the democratic party should have said you can't run in this primary?

Yeah I know it’s crazy for the Democratic Party to require people be - you know- members of the Democratic Party to run as its standard bearer for the highest office in the land…

didn't he become a member before running?

I mean I get it…he was an independent his whole life and didn't have a single 'friend' in the democratic party (mostly his doing)
Still doesn't mean he can register as a Dem and run in their primary and let the voters decide

It doesn’t?

what's your take on Bloomberg then…
he has been a life long republican (well, became an independent in 2007) but just joined the Dems in 2018

They wanted to control the Senate and they need Bernie to increase the likelihood that they would.  Plus they didn't take him seriously

But in doing it, the Dems actually botched it both ways.  They let him run but tried to put their thumb on the scale for all to see.  Not a good look. 

Of course the party tries to put their thumb on the scale in races all the time.

How responsive they should be to voters versus well connected folks is a bigger discussion. Right now, the Party definitely tilts towards the donors.

This is really all that matters

wow…giving FL to the GOP (obviously a prediction two years ahead doesn't mean squat)

So are we thinking the felons are really going to have no impact in FL?
there are like 1 million and the elections have been only won in the thousands…

Nothing like relying on convicted felons as your path to victory, lol.

hey, felons are people too
if they have done their time, isn't that enough?

I wouldn't say that the dems are reliying on them, but how can it not have an impact on a state that has razor thin margins every election for the last few decades
Trust me the GOP was trying to kill that bill with all their might as they know it might tip the results

Flordia impact on our presidential election is insane….and isn't that ironic as Floridians are kind of insane too (check out: Florida Man (@_FloridaMan). Real-life stories of the world's worst superhero)

I think Trump will take Florida…it’s a reasonable prediction…Trump won comfortably in 2016 and Republicans have been winning statewide..Trump practically lives there…Both Florida and Ohio aren’t going to go blue unless it’s such a wave victory that they won’t matter

Trump’s victory over HRC in FL was not razor thin



Anyways Republicans will do what they can to suppress the felon vote which is not exactly reliable …counting on that vote is foolish…in addition to poor form
