an american politics/democratic primaries thread for the naughty children of d&d
Hello to you, debate and discourse! You had your primaries thread taken away because you couldn't stop being terrible to each other! So, here, then, is going to be exactly what your actions clamored for: a thread where you could be as shitty as you want without mommy and daddy mod around to stop you! I'm gonna keep an eye on it, you're gonna be SE-levels of moderated, but I absolutely do not give a fuck if someone is mean to you and your feelings get hurt. Get over it! This is what you wanted!
Also it feels so transparent that the media is really sexist in the sense that they want a token female candidate to "support," and that's pretty much the only way they view Warren's value because the moment that Klobuchar, a candidate more on par with the values and interests of the rich assholes who own most outlets in the country, seemed like she was marketable they dropped Warren like a goddamn rock, despite how bad Klobuchar's campaign is doing compared to Warren
You could see it in the New York Times endorsement too.
I wish I could tell what is a joke and what isn't anymore.
Okay so
What if a President Sanders works with Japan on a deal to open a Gundam Base (Bandai's official museum/cafe/store) in Omar's district, complete with a 1:1 scale statue
Nevada would be her next chance to rebound, but media narrative trying to push her out of the way for Klobuchar (seriously, even though she's doing better than Klobuchar you have folks like CNN ignoring her in discussions in favor of Klobuchar) is going to be a frustrating hurdle.
one of the things that just cracks me up is the clinton supporters i see on twitter who insist, INSIST, that the defining moment of the 2016 general was that bernie "took too long" to endorse her lmao
how WEAK do you think your candidate is that having 5 months of an endorsement isn't enough

Bernie held out on an endorsement for a little bit in order to pressure Clinton to take more progressive stances, like $15 minimum wage and free college, etc, which she did (source). And one possibility that no one ever brings up is that maybe this actually helped her campaign, because, you know, these are stances that are actually popular with folks
Or maybe Bernie holding out like that really did cost her the election. Who knows! It doesn't really matter

I got to see Warren today and it was beautiful and I loved it and I'm gonna do it again when I can, which will hopefully be Monday. It's really true about meeting her in person, she is warm and does everything she can to treat everyone in the room like... they matter.
And it seems like all is dying, and would leave the world to mourn

Warren is the best anti-corruption candidate out there right now.

this year I got involved in local (non-american) politics for the first time
being a white, cis, straight male from good social-economic background and joining a party usually identified as being innately sectorial and appealing to a relatively narrow demographic has certainly helped push me forwards; along with the fact that I got an academic background in Talking Good
so much so that I am now member of the team responsible for setting up a party base in the capital
so yeah, hopefully in a few weeks we'll be able to replace the 20+ year long rightwing government with... something better? maybe?
anyway this marks the beginning of my entry into politics/manifesting my innate villainhood proper
if I ever go full Doctor Doom you have my permission to try and stop me
you will fail, of course
but it will be entertaining to watch you try

I feel like you can draw a direct line between Warren backing off M4A, accepting the advice of those Obama/Clinton losers and her rapidly decaying numbers.

I love Warren but her biggest mistake was trying to thread the needle on M4A. She should have come out, been like "yeah your taxes go up, but you also don't have to pay insurance premiums ectect" and hammered that point home so hard that any attempt at making her seem duplicitous about it fell on its face.

Satans..... hints.....
Also: the most anime candidate is clearly Ilhan Omar, who is not a candidate but DOES want a Gundam from Sanders.
...what?
if that's really what you want to do with your time!
no further questions
Haha I thought for sure it was going to be less literal

I would prefer her or Sander I guess, they seem nice

It... isn't seeming great at the moment.

The man is a republican, and yet the narrative is doing it's damndest to make a path for him once Biden's campaign finishes.
now the d&d people will get out of their self-inflicted quarantine zone.

I mean, I know a lot of them are probably just racist for pay but Bloomberg is definitely in it for the love of the game.
