    Came here to post this.
  2. I think they do it so that any prior transgressions that would be immediately brought up after an announcement are already out of the way. For example, Biden can let this Hill stuff play out then announce later. The announcement is then the news, not the other stuff.
  3. Her family is like the villains in movies from my childhood. Worth 5.4 billion, have a 40 million dollar yacht, cut special Olympics because they had to make “tough decisions”.
  4. I’ll agree as well. I’m not sure what he offers other than name recognition, which will even out as the race goes on. He has high level experience but that seems to be an overrated quality (to voters) these days.
  5. Did he yell worldstar before swinging?
  6. I have no issue with betos four month break considering the insane amount of energy he expended in the senate race. I think he knew he wanted to run for president but that it would possibly be a two year slog with the same level of energy required. Taking a few months, resting, and contemplating things was well deserved. If poor and minority candidates don’t have that same opportunity, it’s not beto’s fault.
  7. Looks like I agree with BT on this take. It also is much easier for republican candidates to rally their base as they have many more common unifiers. Bringing a diverse party together will always be more difficult but there is so much potential, especially as America becomes more diverse.
  8. This place looks like my personal hell on earth.
  9. Talked with a few work friends that are all democrats this evening. We are all Beto supporters but I am spreading the word about mayor Pete as well. They were all very impressed with the videos they saw and will look more into him. This guy just needs to keep at it and get his exposure level up. If not for this election then the next.
  10. He said in living memory. Are you older than brat?
  11. America has faced tougher times. We have not faced tougher times as far as the electorate and how we treat each other. Trump is a symptom of a larger problem that Beto is trying to address.
  12. Clearly, but there is a way to go about a primary so that you don’t end up with a damaged candidate and a fractured party.
  13. You are such a fucking beating. Every tweet or article about Beto from a mainstream reporter gets inundated with Bernie bros talking shit. It’s not like this is a one time thing I found in a dark corner of the internet. We are (or should be) on the same team in trying to defeat trump.
  14. Mayor Pete is great and I’m glad he’s in the race. My dream scenario would be a Beto/Kamala ticket with Pete getting a high ranking position in the administration to launch his campaign with more name recognition and experience. If it looks like now is his time then I will happily support him.
  15. If I was talking about you, I would have used your name. Many Bernie supporters on the internet were claiming that almost all of betos money was coming from big donors, bundlers, his family, etc. This was bullshit and anybody with a brain knew it from the beginning. Now that the facts are out do the attacks stop? Of course not. Bernie bros are now claiming “fake news”. They are the lefts trumptards.
  16. The Bernie bros will not stop. They lack any self awareness. The ones on twitter “don’t believe the numbers”. Facts are as important to them as they are to trumpsters. Beto people are in for a rude awakening.
  17. Beto had 128,000 unique contributions in the first 24 hours. Average donation size was $47. Bernie bros attacks continue to fall flat.
  18. “Beto underperformed in rural/exurb and overperformed in urban/suburban.” It seems like a lot of that could be chalked up to increased polarization between rural and urban/suburban since 2004.
  19. Garner.....but I cheated with the googles
  20. It was intentional shit posting. As I said in another post, I’ll move on.
  21. The quality is good...if you can access it and afford it. I would give us mediocre (at best) marks for universality. Very poor for affordability.
  22. I know this is true and partially my fault but the attacks on Beto from the left are quite absurd and (mostly) disingenuous. It’s their guy or nobody. Ill try to get this back on track by actually talking about Beto. He’s in state college Pennsylvania this morning, which is a college town. We all agree that the upper Midwest could be trouble for him. Thoughts on a strategy of hitting a ton of college campuses in the next couple of months before the kids leave for the summer? Bernie has been strong with the college kids but Beto seems like the most likely candidate to pick some off.
  23. Well that would be better than now. We currently have one.
  24. You keep sucking off old white man bernie while he tells minorities what’s good for them.
  25. Very interesting to me that the farthest left of the Democratic Party wants a candidate to mansplain policies instead of listening to a diverse group of people that he actually meets with face to face. I go to a lot of trainings on cultural proficiency and the first thing that always gets brought up is the importance of listening. This is especially true if you are a white male.
