[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Did you like the way the DNC forced a losing candidate down our throats?

Tulsi was a strong independent player to support Bernie in 2016.  And she was right; Bernie would have beaten Trump.[/quote]

This is PP: I voted for Hillary in the primary. I did not feel the DNC forced anyone down my throat. Bernie seemed to me then and seems to be still another spoiler - he's not even a Democrat. So telling me Tulsi supported Bernie then doesn't reassure me that she isn't a spoiler. I guess I am looking for what you think are the affirmative reasons for a skeptic to like her.

Perhaps it really does come down to - if you think the DNC kept Bernie from winning last time, you're drawn to Bernie or Tulsi or Yang now. If you thought Hillary was our best choice the last time, you're probably supporting someone else.[/quote]

Well that’s interesting- I’ll think on that.

Bernie was- to my mind- only a spoiler because of the Clinton rules, ie superdelegates.

I deeply resented being told Bernie could not win because of the super delegates, and to support him was a spoiler type move.

But that is for what you shared - i think it is insightful.[/quote]

Of all the Dem 2020 candidates so far, do you think there's anyone that you and I would agree on? Or who we could both live with?

I will be voting for whoever the Dem candidate turns out to be in the general election - even if it's someone I have to hold my nose for - because I live in a swing state and my vote matters. And my top priority is unseating Trump. But at this stage where we get to still select among alternatives - I wonder if there is anyone we might both like well enough. Elizabeth Warren?[/quote]

There is no serious candidate that I would refuse to vote for in a general election.
I like Warren but I am afraid Trump will get her on the Indian thing.  And this school loan holiday sounds desperate.

Klobuchar?
