All I got from this video was mostly the stoking of fear, very little hopeful messaging or any substantial policy. Compare this to Sanders' launch  video.

 

Anyway, this won't go any differently than his other three runs. It was over for him before it began.

Joe, Kamala, Beto, and Bernie, I honestly don’t know who to favor

This is going to be an interesting election :duck:

I don't trust Biden or Sanders. Haven't made up my mind about the rest of them, but I'll be damned if Biden gets my vote in the primaries. He voted against student loan debt to be forgivable under bankruptcy proceedings, essentially locking in someone with student debt no matter what they do. He's no better than any other career politicians with corporations lining their pockets - the only difference is that he's buddies with Obama.

Moral platitudes with little policy discussion, some of the same things that made Hillary lose in 2016. Great plan Biden :rip:

I thought the thing everyone thought was the exact opposite lol. Hillary had plans on plans on plans detailed and talked about them all the time but nobody listened because Trump just appealed to the emotion or whatever.

Not a single policy proposal in that entire video. How vapid and dumb tbh.

Right now I'm leaning towards Warren. I know that no candidate is perfect, but I align myself with the majority of her views and what I've read and heard about from her shows a lot of detailed policies. Although Harris is the same way. I'm very interested to see how this all plays out.

The real kicker for me recently was the views he shared on opioids a few weeks ago.  I mean he clearly doesn't understand the harm that would and is being done by having doctors lower dosages of these necessary meds for chronic pain patients. I'm just hoping that the democrat candidates listen to the disability community and doctors before making policies about this topic

cool cool

The definition of a centralist. No thank you. Not here for the male version of Hilary. Him, Beto, Pete, Kamala and Cory can gtfo. It's all about Bernie.

Thank you!! My mom has terrible chronic pain from scoliosis and problems stemming from that and high-strength opiates are the only things that help her but soo many legislatures don't understand that people might actually benefit from these drugs.

Everyone does think the opposite.

If you Google "Hillary Clinton policy," you will get a million journalists writing about Hillary being overly focused on policy. She has been described as a "policy wonk" for her entire political career. 

Washingtonpost - "Clinton has long built an image as a policy wonk, dating back to her days leading her husband's health-care task force."

It's funny seeing people on this site think nuanced policy positions are going to defeat Trump, as if the last Presidential election didn't prove that to be totally wrong. Donald Trump is a demagogue, you aren't going to defeat him with policy.
