    I have no doubt that she was put on the committee because establishment dems think it will end up hurting her. And anything that makes progressives look bad is good for Trump. We know he owns establishment democrats. We’ll see if she steps in it.

    Trump owns establishment democrats? He doesn't own establishment republicans.

    Trump is to establishment as Race is to youthfulness.

    The left is doubling down on going further to the extreme with AOC. It's going to fail miserably.

    They need to find semi-hot moderate to roll out there as the face of the party. If one even exists. Like a unicorn.

    Meanwhile the Throbber wants to drop a hot load on Margaret Hoover's back.

    We had a moderate Democrat in the White House for 8 years and he did fuck all.

    The majority of Americans support Medicare for all, free college, green new deal, raising minimum wage and a 70% top tax rate. But Democrats need to run someone who doesn’t support those things to win? Like the last democratic nominee? Not like Bernie Sanders, who happens to be the most popular politician in America.

    If you want a moderate Democrat as the nominee in 2020 it’s because you want the Democrats to lose. Simple fact.

    Bullshit. Medicare is the only one on that list I'm willing to pay for. Average person can't save enough to be properly insured in old age, and there comes a point when working isn't an option. On that point, I'm left of center. People need healthcare, and while we're figuring it out, Medicare needs to remain funded. I'll leave it to the experts whether it needs an overhaul like Welfare, but philosophically that's something that should be there as part of a decent safety net.

    Free college? Fuck that. 70%? Fuck you. Green New Deal? Tell me what it is first.

    Yes, I want a moderate Democrat. And that's how they'll win. Parade another banana in front of the electorate and watch what happens.

    Besides, who are they? going to vote for if they're disenchanted with the moderate candidate? Didn't Bernie teach them all a lesson in splitting the vote?

    Jimminy Christmas I can't believe you believe that.
    Free college is just another way to shift $$$ to the elitist academics. Those fucks at universities are already well-compensated as financed by crushing college debt.

    I'm down with some form of health care for all. I don't have a philosophical issue providing basic care for all, focusing on prevention and wellness. You want Cadillac coverage, pay for it just like now.

    Bring home a few more troops and scale back on military and international aid. Get shit back in order at home - rebuild infrastructure (crumbing bridges, highways, dams, etc.) and focus on providing cheap, high speed broadband for every corner of the country. Just like the interstate highway system changed the game in the 50's and 60's, the web is doing the same in the 21st century. Put big $$$ on that - both in hardware and brainware trying to make it even better.

    Fuck the green shit as priority #1. The Chinese and Indians are fucking up the world 100x what the US is causing. Don't worry about things you can't control.


    Throbber 2020 (D). Hope. Change. Tittays.

    Really? The majority of Americans want all that? I won't dispute it, because I don't have any facts in front of me, and if the Tug has taught me one thing it is to wait for facts (wish Hondo could learn that). But that seems unbelievable to me. I have banged out plenty of 20 somethings in the last several years and none of them wanted any of that. And I don't know a single person in the late 30's-late 40's age bracket that wants any of that. Where are all the tens of millions of people who want this? Urban areas? I am actually curious. (bi-curious joke incoming).
    Hey dick. I don't need to wait for facts, I make my own.

    That being said, the vast majority want Medicare for all. I'm not sure on the other stuff, but there are millions of people that want it all.

    I just did some quick 5 minute research on the free college thing. Most surveys and polls in the last two years seem to indicate about 2/3rds of Americans support it, so APAG is technically correct. But, nowhere in the surveys I found were any costs mentioned. I would be interested to see the results when the question is asked do you support free college, and your state and federal taxes will rise by XXX percentage to pay for it. I think the answers would be much different. Perhaps not.

    I didn't bother to look at the laundry list of other shit because even though I am stupid I know that would bankrupt the country trying to pay for green deals, and free college and health care for all. Even soaking the rich at 70% wouldn't finance all of that shit. You'd have to raise taxes dramatically on the middle class and sort of rich as well, thereby negating most of the benefit. But hey, the really dirt poor would gets lots of free shit and keep voting for AOC. so there's that.

    Oh I know there are millions, but you are talking over 150 million for it to be half the country +. That's a shitload of people. I don't know any of them. I take that back. One of the toothless white trash bitches four trailers down is always sitting on her front porch yelling about needing to go to the free clinic. So there's one.

    I am on board with the healthcare thing. Mainly because the idea of tying healthcare to your employer is fucking stupid.


    But apag misses the point.

    The goal is to win, not change the fucking world during a campaign. Cunt.

    That's because it's unbelievable.

    If the country understood what it would take to make college free for everyone, nobody would want it. And it would ruin our system, which is still kinda/sorta built on a meritocracy. Believe it or not, we still have some very well functioning colleges and universities in the US. It's why foreign elites still flock here and pay top $$ to get their education.

    I don't even know what the Green Deal is, so how can 70% of the country be for it?

    70% ... that's a thread in and of itself. Calls into question a lot of basic and fundamental principles of what this country is about. 70% of what some guy pulls in legally is on its face offensive to me and I suspect for the average person, no matter who wealthy that guy may be. I don't believe that we're down to only 30% of people who think you are allowed to win in this life.

    Or maybe it's time for me to move.

    Well, yeah....I'm the Throbber. They'll flock to the candidate ala Donna Rice. Except hotter. You can be in charge of filtering out the ugly ones. And by filtering out, I mean, getting a hummer from the ugly ones. The Throbber can overlook certain deficiencies in the looks department in exchange for mad oral skillz.

    And in the interest of transparency, all sexual related activities in the campaign will be posted to pornhub.com. Especially late night drunken hook ups with the hottie political commentators like Hallie Jackson when she's looking good...not the ragged out version.






    In exchange for a moderate campaign contribution from pornhub.com, of course.

    And per-view royalties.

    Free college? How about the colleges make it more affordable? Stop paying professors $200k+ per year.
