Or an Obama. I just don't see anyone out there now that can hold a candle to either of them in terms of appeal or political ability. |
Harris is the new Obama and, nope, Obama himself made sure with that second term that no Obama-like candidate (inexperienced first-time Senator playing identity politics) wins in a loooong time. A Bill Clinton would win. |
The fact that solid and respected Governor Hickenlooper dropped out after failing to get any traction tells me, though, that the party has been taken over by the Dem Socialists and the extremists and will take a while for a Bill Clinton-like candidate (pragmatic governor with actual results) to emerge. |
Joe Biden is leading every poll and is the very definition of a moderate. |
Delaney is excellent. He owned Litzy Warren |
But he got really clobbered the last time he ran for President. Remember that? I'm just saying he ain't no Bill Clinton or Barack Obama. |
I think people worrying about Biden being an embarrassment are not thinking about how embarrassing Trump was - yet he still won and continues to be embarrassing. It doesn't seem like voters outside of hardcore politics junkies care about that stuff. |
Exactly. |
Neither is Trump, bub |
The thread is about moderate Dems, bub |
This thread is about some fever dreaming MAGA heads spewing nonsense in an attempt to get Democrats worked up. You know for a change. |
harris for sure. She’s a fighter and has a strong law enforcement background. |
You shouldn't hive mind this--you should find the candidate that has the positions you like, and support that person. If you focus on electability, you perpetuate the bias you fear. By which I mean, I hear women saying they would love a woman candidate, but are afraid of repeating HRC's defeat. But look, if you vote against women BECAUSE they are women, you aren't being pragmatic, you are being sexist. Same thing with race or anything else.
As for the candidates themselves, I think Harris is a pretty good moderate option (she takes the best parts of a public option and medicare for all, IMO). I like Booker. Inslee says good things about climate change. I am not sure I'd call Warren a moderate, but she is someone who understands the virtues (and pitfalls) of a capitalist market. Unless you live in Iowa, you don't actually have to make a decision just yet. Just please, keep an open mind, don't listen to the trolls, and don't be a troll yourself. |
Yes, the GOP is treasoning with russia. |
yes - but minus a "Lolita Express" history, please |
