And I'm just pointing it out. Still waiting....who are the progressives that are running? For that matter, who are the establishment candidates. Make a list.

For that matter, who are the establishment candidates. Make a list. Well if you look at candidates who have economic left positions as well as an anti-regime change war record, the only progressive candidates are Bernie(he's got some blemishes on regime change to be fair Kovosco as an example) and Tulsi(although she also has some libertarian leanings). Warren is progressive on economic issues and more of a mixed bag in terms of foreign policy. She doesn't quite fit in the establishment either but she definitely placates more to those to the right to her than those to the left. All of the others have issues on either one or both sides of this. But as far as establishment handpicked candidates, that would be Biden, Pete, Kamala, Klobuchar, Bloomberg, Deval, Bullock, Delaney, Castro, Steyer, & Booker. Yang is too libertarian to be a progressive despite some progressive ideals (his foregin policy is more typical democrat). If any of the establishment candidates are progressive on an issue, it's always on social issues where the establishment has zero qualms with the rhetoric.

Hybrid AT 78 Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 Stale, boring and a non-issue. If this is the best oppo research you can do then you suck at this stuff big time. Next.

I appreciate your response, but the accusation I was referring to didn’t come from you, so I would like to get an answer from @Gagaloo92. Thanks anyhow!

Hybrid AT 78 Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 As for the "African American endorsement scandal", Pete has addressed it already and no amount of online faux outrage is going to move the needle IRL. Yet to see this type of accountability from other candidates. He'll have another great debate tomorrow and his numbers would rise, again.

Lying and getting caught is a "learning experience" Not surprised by that spin. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
