I really hope she doesn't get the nom. She is an awful candidate and serves the people better in congress

 

Hahahaha!

 

Interracial relationships are only an issue when black heterosexual men are involved otherwise love is love. Her being with a white man can only help her. Actually its way better than if she had a black husband. She checks every box on the diversity scale while still being able to make white people comfortable. I personally don't like her but black women are usually the barometer for who we liberals like/elect and they LOVE her. Just the visual alone has every sista from coast to coast swooning especially with her rich white man. This is Scandal come to life

 

I know @Beasty is convinced Kamala Harris' campaign is dead on arrival, but the media (especially CNN) is all-in on her. They have declared her the front runner, (even though she isn't) and they have given her an exclusive town hall meeting in Iowa.

 

They refuse to learn. This is Clinton all over again. Stop anointing people and let the people decide. They'd be better off running a Stacy Abrams or a Nina Turner if they want a black woman so bad at least they have integrity and actually care about the citizens

 

My thoughts exactly. I wasn't sure if @Thump was being serious with that question. Other than milliant pro-black/hotep niggas on the internet, NOBODY has a problem with a black female democratic party politician having non-black significant other.

When it comes to IR, people are only concerned what straight black men are doing.

 

A lot of conservative Christans are full of it, especially if they support 45. However so is the far left. You guys don't really care about the big issues, if you did, you would be willing to sacrifice your preferences for them. Instead what you're really saying is your preferences (which are not essential) are just as important as the real issues like global warming, healthcare, social security, infrastructure, min wage ect. Instead of dropping the extras, you rather have your Bernie.

Warren doesn't care about min wage, if she did she wouldn't have risked turning people off by mentioning $22 an hour, and St.Bernie would have never used the term socialism.

Politicans study these things and know better, it's just that your far left Representatives don't care. Neither do the far left voters.

It's all or nothing. Guess which one you're going to get?

 

Dude what on earth are you talking about? What preferences are you referring to?
When has Bernie mentioned socialism in what context?
I've never heard Warren talk about a 22 dollar minimum wage but if she did so the fuck what. No one is stopping 2 trillion dollar tax cuts or increased military spending and that does nothing for the country. At least if people have more money they spend that shit making it better for everyone. Rich people get money they hoard it or invest in assets. At least when poor people have money they spend it making more opportunities for everyone.

 

The Dem field is deep. If Kamala gets the nomination, she'll have to earn it.
Her problem is she's a run of the mill Dem and not really a modern progressive. She's not going to push for universal healthcare or raising taxes on the rich.

She's basically Obama in a bra. Or HIllary with a sun tan.

 

I'll tell you so what. Instead of getting 15 or even 10 you're going to get nothing

That's what

 

Facts

 

Would you care to make a wager?
I'm curious what do you think minimum should be realistically?
Whatever an employer is willing to pay? Maybe 2 dollars an hour? Maybe 5 year internships for the chance at experience?

 

My belief is that you have to win the election or it doesn't matter. Or else why don't you raise it to $22 yourself? Oh that's right, you would have to win first......DUH

 

If you don't think progressives can't win you are not paying attention my friend. Whenever you want to make that wager let me know

 

Oh you talking about Obama that actually won the election? Lol.

Name one far lefty that has

 

You've already gambled with the real issues my friend. The planet is actually more important than any wager we could possibly make.

 

I'm not a Sanders supporter, I'm just liberal. There's a difference. I voted for Sanders in the primary because why the fuck not but in the general? I voted for Clinton. Was she perfect? Not at all. But if your metric on who to vote for is based off of which candidate is perfect then you're never, ever going to have anyone to vote for period. And Hillary Clinton on her absolute worst day is orders of magnitude more competent than Trump is on any given day.

But I guess it depends on what preferences you're talking about. If those preferences include demographic stuff like gender and race then I don't give a shit about either of those things. I vote for which candidate most closely aligns with my views.

 

Nah, preferences as in other policies and or laws. The far left comes with plenty. It's not wrong but if you want to win it's baggage.

 

Ah, I got you. I'm pretty far to the left on both social and economic issues but I can compromise if I'm getting something close to a candidate that supports what I do.

With the exception of evangelical conservative Christians, that is. I have yet to see one of them I'd ever consider voting for.

 

Elizabeth Warreen is my odd's on bet to win the Democratic nomination, and she's much further left than Obama.
I don't think that makes her a far lefty.

Obama had the votes to pass single payer his first two years in office, but the Dems got scared because the healthcare industry was opposed to it.

That won't happen to Warren if she has the votes in Congress.
