2020 Presidential election

Wow. So hateful. ;) I mean, I get that 35 percent of the country eats this up. But does this really work on everyone else? It immediately turned me off. Why?

1. Because I’m not stupid enough to conflate universal health care and student financial aid, the stuff AOC advocates with the Khmer Rouge taking over the public education system and economy while rounding up and killing millions of people. I mean, I’m old enough to remember a few months ago when the right was mocking her for crying outside of an internment camp on the border.

2. The ad was so extreme (skulls, bodies, burning) and so demeaning that it turned me off. It could’ve been made by Warren herself, and it probably would've motivated me to donate to her biggest rival and never vote for her again. Are Americans really so desensitized to this stuff? Judging by the backlash this caused on social media, I guess the answer is no. Lots of people seemed turned off by it. So what was it’s purpose? Give fresh meat to the Breitbart and Shapiro boys? Is that what abc is doing now? Throwing fresh meat at the dumbest and most hateful among us?

But I agree, the hyperbolic obsession of falling everything “socialism” is in full effect. It’s the boogeyman. But isn’t it losing its effect? It’s the boy who cried wolf by now, right? I remember when Obamacare was called socialism.
I honestly don't think it's losing its effect. I think tons of Americans still get scared as hell and triggered like a ************* by the word socialism. It's like the scariest thing ever to many people despite the fact that those same scared people use socialist services all the time without realizing it.

The green new deal doesn't eliminate the energy industry. That's one of the stupidests comments I've ever heard.

Is "Texas Medical Center" a specific place? If so, how exactly is Medicare for all going to harm it? Unless it's an insurance company I don't see what having more insured patients is going to do to harm it.

On this one I think it's incredibly stupid for Democrats to talk about mandatory buy-backs or anything like that, when such a thing hasn't come close to passing the test as far as legality or logistics. So needless to say, whatever a politician says they would like to do in regard to taking away people's guns, they've got to get that past the House and Senate first, which would be hard, but still the easy part. Then they'd have to get it past legal challenges that our current Supreme Court would be extremely unlikely to uphold.

So, yet another dumb as **** share by mommy bird.

The guns stuff was dumb. I think the Democrats should ease up on that one. Way too many gun owners in america to talk about doing anything extreme at this point. Stick to background checks and magazine capacity and stuff.
I heard Beto say something to the effect of we are coming for your guns. That's just gonna role people up and get them paranoid and do no good whatsoever.

The Texas Medical Center is actually a specific place - it's essentially the medical district for Houston (I believe the largest in the world) tons of universities around Texas have a base there as well (visited a couple times while I was in grad school). 100,000 some people employed there.

Though I don't think Medicare For All would cause it any real problems.
 
The Castro vs Biden dustup seems to be the main talk of last night, and while Castro came out looking like a bit of an *** I think Biden was worse.

Castro misheard Biden's quote, but Biden appears to be straight up lying about his policy. People will not automatically qualify for his policy as currently construed, there is means testing involved and not everyone will qualify (you have to be below some percentage of the poverty line, I want to say 138%).
 
Yang. And Warren was good last night too.

What does Yang have to offer? Is he a civil rights advocate? Does he promote prison reform? Gun reform? What legislation has he sponsored? Is he promoting economic equality legislation? Is he a former General? Is he a foreign policy womp?

I just don’t see what he offers other than not being a politician. And we all see how that’s working out... After Trump, don’t we kinda want someone who like... knows stuff about government?
