Democratic Challengers 10: If we stop fighting Nazis, the world will die.

I’d like Liz to stay around because I prefer her over the others

Yep, she got my vote. It won't matter though.

For the record, I seriously doubt any Trump supporters turn around and vote Sanders.

This is another thing I have thought all along. That if you did want to appeal to people who voted for Trump, I just don't think Bernie is that guy. So while he could be your favorite candidate is he really the right guy to prop up against Trump? I don't see it.

You think any of the cultists are going to vote for anyone but their Messiah?

Re: Democratic Challengers 10: If we stop fighting Nazis, the world will die.

Bernie doesn't have cultists? Or does that only apply to candidates you don't like? Good lord. There are obviously simple minded people who strictly vote based on political party rather than actually listen to and evaluate each candidate. Not everyone who voted Trump the first time is a diehard supporter.

That makes him young for the Senate.

Edit: Sh-t, ticap beat me to it.

By the way, the initial phase will be called the Vanguard Transitional Politburo. We should all be so lucky to live until the withering of the state and the Socialist Utopia Orgy of All People At Least An 8.*

I didn't know 'Hitachi' was a German word.

Everybody has cultists. One of the strongest of all cults is the Cult of the Center -- the people who believe in a Rawlsian pacifism of political economy in which we maintain a perfect indifference and let the general will work things out.

The problem being, of course, that not all voices are equal and not all people are equally powerful, and that sort of agnosticism is just a recipe for the powerful taking over the system and then warping it to eliminate all democratic remedies. This is the history of the last two generations and the failure of the "economic libertarian, socially liberal" model which most of us grew up on.

It turns out that a body at rest is pushed by the overwhelming force of wealth and power, and so a stable political economy includes an active force being pushed back against them. For the puck to stay on the center line we must affirmatively push on it since the other side is pushing hard on their side 24/7/365.

Sounds the way I feel. Give me Mayor Pete over Bernie anyday.

Edit: I was intrigued by Bloomberg but he sabotaged himself by somehow not being prepared to debate basically anything.

His record alone didn't sabotage him?

That's why we need a candidate like Bernie.

Re: Democratic Challengers 10: If we stop fighting Nazis, the world will die.

I don't think it did. I've heard him answer about stop and frisk before (as an example) and delivered a much more compelling message/apology (however you want to phrase it). But for whatever reason he was totally ill prepared for the debate and became a laughingstock during it/after on social media, etc. That's a huge deal these days. He can keep throwing money at it if he wants but he's done.

Plus, hasn't Obama had good things to say about Bloomberg even despite his "record"?

[J.D.]

Re: Democratic Challengers 10: If we stop fighting Nazis, the world will die.

And on that note, speaking of "messiahs", has Obama endorsed anybody officially? And would that matter? I would think he'd endorse Biden so maybe not.

You’re on the wrong board with that messiah crap. You’ll have to go elsewhere to peddle that

Obama is certainly not a Saint here

Um I was not the one who first brought up messiah. Lighten up.

No, he hasn't, and he's not going to do so. Yes, it would matter, considering his approval rating is well over 90% among Democrats.

Do you think Sally Pipes will endorse Donald Trump this year?

I couldn't give two poops who Sally Pipes endorses. Obama on the other hand, I'd like to hear that. Would be curious if he endorses Biden if that would resurrect his campaign. I suppose it makes sense he hasn't commented though because any endorsement other than Biden would be awkward.
