Why not Elizabeth Warren 2020?
But let's be real here, DNC will force in Hillary again.
Warren looks bland next to Gabbard, honestly, and there is no way Hillary has another run in her after this. If Hillary Part 3, Warren, and ReBerninating are the best they could offer in 4 years they're handing Trump an easy reelection.
You find me someone more exciting than Gabbard, who could compete with the instant credibility she gains from being a young, female, minority, who at 21 was the youngest hawaiian legislator ever elected, and 2 years later when her brothers and sisters were called to Iraq she
chose to join them rather than remain stateside. She's got cred as an activist working to preserve the environment of the islands, experience working in a small business with her parents and a degree in international business, worked on the city council in Honolulu, before becoming the first American Hindu and one of two female combat vets in the House, which she was mentored in by the badass I was crushing on above, Inouye.
Don't forget she can identify with everyone who felt cheated by the DNC manipulating things to keep Bernie out because she was ALSO pushed out for supporting him, and if by some strange convergence of events he had wound up winning as a write-in candidate from California, she would have been his VP.
Tulsi fucking rocks in every way that Hillary didn't, and could pull off the same sort of inspirational movement that Obama did, and Bernie started to before it was shut down for Hilldog, there is no way Warren could compete against that.
The smart thing would be to have the old guard come out, apologize for not delivering, and literally pass the torch to her and whoever she ends up running with.
https://www.votetulsi.com/tulsi-gabbardIncidentally, Gabbard/O'Malley (maybe Webb but he's old) 2020 yo. A fresh, sane, clean cut young woman who happens to be a fucking Army Major who's damn sick of our soldiers getting shot up,
Huh; had not heard of Gabbard before. Welp, there's my 2020 ticket filled out already! Gabbard and Duckworth, in either order. They could get together beforehand and plan a great primary, along the lines of "yep, we're gonna be on the same ticket either way; just leaving it up to the Dem voters who gets to helm it". Cut down on attack ads and talk policy instead. It'd be amazing. I might just... might just go to bed until then. Only 4 years away!
--This has been Smirk's Shiny Happy Fantasy Politics Minute; thank you for listening. Have a great term!
Fantastic isn't she? I was looking over it and literally the only thing I can see negative was the "inherited dumb ideas from dad" except she admitted it was dumb and grew as a person. She damn well better run 2020, either spot in the ticket and either destroy the shit out of whoever the GOP runs, or lose because they manage to take the best parts of their platform and put them into an amazing package which reaches across the aisle and appeals to more than the core middle-aged white folk constituency.
Tulsi has the same |u| sound as "bud" so you could even rearrange the sounds and get "Lisa" to complete the meme magic!
Its also generally considered, uh, fairly undemocractic to stab the election's winner.
Also, forum guidelines are kind of taken as a given in any discussion that takes place in this forum, for obvious reasons.
Right, but Max didn't point to the guidelines initially, he implied something totally unrelated about NSA-like organizations (age of surveillance) and then said Imic didn't get the "point".
I uh, didn't point to the guidelines at all, did I? Who said that? Is that John Wayne? [John Wayne Impersonation]I don't know, is this me?[/John Wayne Impersonation]
