The great 2020 election thread....

Equality before the law is not the same as equality before the court or judge or jury.

Having an equality before the law that is not equality before a court, judge, or jury is like being paid in money that can't be used for rent, food, or gas.

Nominally, you are still getting paid though. vOv

A talked-about straw poll has these early results for the Democratic primary:

Warren 22%
O'Rourke 15%
Biden 14%
Harris 14%
Sanders 11%
Booker 3%
Others 11%
Undecided 9%

Out of the key states in 2016 - Florida, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, there's just two possible candidates from Ohio. Especially surprising that no one from Florida is in the mix.

Well, this early, it's pretty much useless.

Tulsi Gabbard looks interesting. Economic liberal (she supported Bernie Sanders), non-interventionist in foreign policy but, I think, more realistic about foreign governments than Ron Paul is, and she knows how to reach across the aisle, and, as far as I know, not very much into identity politics. The Democratic establishment supposedly does not like her, and given what they did to Sanders and their super-delegates that might be insurmountable, but if she somehow does capture the nomination I might have a candidate to vote for.

Tulsi Gabbard won't go anywhere because Clinton voters mistrust Sanders associates so much, she's not going to win. There are better female candidates. Remember that ALL his chosen disciples failed to win. Gabbard won't win either.

Tulsi Gabbard can kindly piss off back to her island paradise and stop seeking political office.

You actually have the real long term grassroots support to push trough your shaming agenda?

[Yukaphile]

Ah, so she's a homophobic asshole. That cements it. She won't win the primaries.

She also has a bad record on LGBT rights, and is to the right of Clinton.
