I honestly think that they can make the US truly great again unlike Trump who has divided this country to the point that many Democrats and Republicans hate each other. I also believe that they’ll bring back mature, responsible behavior to the White House, and work with our allies instead of our enemies. Thoughts?

Wall Street Pete? Aka Pete the Shapeshifter, aka Platitude Pete? No thanks, I've had my fill of this clown and I think the love affair with him is finally coming to a close.

My dream ticket is Bernie/Warren. The second person on the ticket just needs to be a progressive for it to be a "dream" ticket for me.

Some Bernie and Warren supporters are starting to hate on Pete and are getting upset about it and going on the attack.

Some of these tactics can screw the D party. This can cause the Ds to lose the general election due to the rhetoric within the D party. Paid disinformation trolls will pick-up on this and further divide the party. This was an easy thing the trolls did in 2016. The picked up on the Bernie supporters being upset over Clinton and the trolls caused even more upset by acting like upset Bernie supporters, to rile up other Bernie supporters. In reality they were trolls purposely trying to divide the Dems by causing friction. Some acted like Clinton supporters that were antagonizing Bernie supporters to get them to hate Clinton so much that they would stay home in the General Election.


This could happen again and might already be happening. Easy pickings with misinformation campaigns. Trolls acting like real people to get other people riled up.

My "dream ticket" was always Annette Funicello/Yvette Mimieux - Just as likely to happen as Mayor Pete/Abrams, and back in the day, much easier on the eyes.

But we all have different dreams. Mayor Pete, upon closer inspection, isn't who all the libs thought he was.

I think this is the time to challenge Mayor Pete on his background/record and his positions. The left hopes that by going on the attack, Mayor Pete can at least be influenced to move a little Left.

By late Spring, early summer (June) though, the Democrats should unite and have a candidate. Anything too late screws the D party.

^^THIS^^ is definitely happening. Scares the ish out of me.

We’ve learned nothing.

On topic: Yes, Buttigieg and Abrams would be great. I just worry about experience. I’ll offer a Buttigieg and Susan Rice ticket?

I think Buttigieg and Deval Patrick would be the superior choice as he brings much-needed experience to the ticket being a former two-term governor, civil rights lawyer, and businessman.

I thought the country was "never great".

You want impression over substance. WE ARE NOT PLAYING YOUR FEEL GOOD GAME!

I would rather have the most repulsive candidate who does what he says than a "feel good" candidate.

THE BS IS OVER!!!

I used to believe these kind of threads were trolls. Not anymore.
They actually believe their BS! Welcome to the "participation culture"

See?


They deem themselves "superior" constantly.


We all have "those people we know" who are arrogant, know better than anyone, full of themselves. Right?

Do you consider them your friends?
NO, you just KNOW THEM.

THAT is who the Dem's have become. Just people "you know" and do not respect, trust, care about, maybe even despise.




They are completely oblivious to you, couldn't care less about your opinion. They basically suck.
