The general election is when you hold your nose and vote out the guy who runs literal concentration camps
The primary is for screaming at focus-tested, corporatist, billionaire-approved, weakly-liberal but not too liberal, empty vessels to be filled up by donors like Pete to GTFO
Given what his health care plan would do to people I find it to be generously polite.
And what experience he does have is basically being used by racists to make the police department even whiter than it was when he got there
I deplore the idea of Biden winning the nomination but at least he would be a steady hand at the till and know basically what to do with the job
Yeah I mean its something the nazis literally did and there is no reason to do it other than to dehumanize someone, its gross and while I don't like Pete I think we can aim slightly higher than that.

Oh look. It's a predebate panel including Chris Christie. Time to turn this off and go find some other stream of it.
edit-nvm ABC is hosting so it's only them that have a stream from what I can see.
Preacher, people are posting cartoons on Twitter.
I find it distasteful to dehumanize anybody, and I am extremely uncomfortable sharing a tent with people who are ambivalent to those who do so.
On the other hand, I remember why I stopped watching TV news.
Have to wonder how quickly Pete collapses though because the lack of minority support is going to kill him. Also cringing at how people still don't fucking get why his support with blacks is in the dumpster. Latest attempt to help him to claim that "it's totally a media narrative" that is given too much credit. Thing is he is a shitty candidate and his record has shown that he doesn't just not care about the issues that blacks care about, but pretty much betrayed them when he was in office. This was the guy that sided with the racists of his town's PD against black officers. If I had to guess, he's support will probably start crumbling once a ton of people pushing for him, finally get that black voters aren't going to come around to him. Once Biden gets written off, I'm pretty sure the minority support is probably going to go either to Warren or Sanders. I'm not sure that Bloomsburg will pick it up, but he'll probably pick up the voters that were going to vote for Biden, then when he fell, go for Pete and are now settling for Bloomsburg.
Pete’s plan charges people unable to get health insurance a $6,000 yearly fee.
The president communicates directly to the american people on twitter, you're fine with using literal nazi imagery because you don't like someone that's not a bridge I'm fine with and think we should aim higher than that.

His health care plan isnt a matter of m4a vs public option. He wants to retroactively tax uninsured people for the year's premiums on their tax bill. His health care plan will put people on the street so honestly I cant bring myself to be much bothered by people comparing him to an animal culturally associated with deceit and untrustworthiness.
Preacher may be melodramatic but it has been in a few post from tweets from certain sections with using a rat for Pete.
And it has been stated by more than a few people that makes us fee uncomfortable for more than a few reasons.
Foreign policy is happening on twitter.
What happens on Twitter matters.

Comparing people yelling at a presidential candidate to the build up to the holocaust is ridiculous
Yeah.
In a vacuum, sure.
But we don't live in a vacuum.

Why are you going to get creamed in the primary here?
Trump is going to hit you with "Socialism! Blah!" Is that a weakness?
Sanders: Trump is a fucking liar.
Also, we are united in needing to beat Trump.
I think I'm buoyed by the fact that a combo of Warren/Sanders is also probably an either/or win, right? I assume neither would ride it straight to the convention since each is supporting a lot of the same legislative priorities.
1) Trump lies.
2) It doesn't matter who wins, all seven of us will be united to defeat him.
3) I'm proud of the job we did in Iowa getting young people out to vote and if we can do that nationally, we'll win.
Goes into being a uniter etc.
He's usually pretty good and parrying this kind of stuff
