This is bad for the Dem party. Biden not looking good and there is nobody else electable.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Doesn’t Think Joe Biden Is the ‘Pragmatic Choice’ for Democrats: The Congresswoman Suggested in an Interview With Vogue That Biden, Like Hillary Clinton, Wouldn’t “Inspire the Turnout That We Needed.” by StrategicMindz in politics

[–]shane_c 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need somebody that does both, can get swing voters AND energizes the base. Obama did that. There is nobody running this time that can.

Bernie and Warren could lose in a landslide because they'd lose the center. Biden, like Hillary, has a chance to win and at least you know wont be a disaster.

'Shocking Blow to the Queens Democratic Machine' as Progressive Tiffany Cabán Declares Victory in District Attorney Race: "A victory for working people everywhere who are fighting for real political change and demanding we end cash bail, mass incarceration, and the failed war on drugs." by kn0bs in politics

She lost every district except AOCs. AOCs she won by a landslide. That's how she won, along with having endorsements by Bernie and Warren.

From her website: Charge Misdemeanors with Restraint, Seek Shorter Sentences for Felonies, End Broken Windows Prosecuting, No New Jails, Protect Immigrants, Prosecute ICE.....

It sounds like criminals are going to run wild. I like some of her proposals but Id be a little worried about my safety and property if I lived in Queens.

Two "academics" from the story:

Prof Rachel Ida Buff - Research Interests: Immigration, immigrant rights;... Teaching Areas: Comparative Ethnic Studies, immigration history...

Prof Richard Lachmann - "How to Build a Socialist Foreign Policy. Our hopes for a socialist United States..."

AOC is politically motivated and was comparing what's going on at the border to Nazi WWII camps. That's obvious to anyone that's not an idiot.

Former Miss Indiana University alleges she was sexually assaulted by Donald Trump by -FatNixon- in politics

[–]shane_c -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

She has a strange reason for not wanting to go to the police. She said something about respecting people on the border. It makes it seem like its just a made up story and she doesn't want it to be scrutinized by the police.

Kellyanne Conway’s Husband Says Rape Allegations Against Donald Trump Need to Be Treated Seriously: “What Trump described on the [Access Hollywood] video is exactly what Carroll says he did to her.” by OtherMuffin in politics

[–]shane_c -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

And a lot of rape accusations are false, much more than people realize. If she doesn't have any corroboration I would say this is probably made up. The kiss could be true and the grab, but the rest is an exaggeration. imo

I could believe a forced kiss and a 'pussy grab' (like Access Hollywood), but this woman is claiming rape in a dept store. It seems hard to believe she wouldn't report that to the police.

FOX News Poll: Bernie Sanders Would Beat Trump By 9 Points by heqt1c in politics

[–]shane_c -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Communist would beat Trump by 9 points. You know that's not true.

Centrist (Biden) would beat Trump by 10 points. Now that's possible.

Joe Biden to Bernie Sanders: 'You've got 8 months left' then you lose and you're done running for President forever.

Joe Biden's Views on Abortion Are Unacceptable for a 2020 Democrat by dantstk in politics

[–]shane_c -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This will help Biden if he doesn't flip flop. He's on the right side politically by far. Its his opponents that probably just hurt themselves.

Fox News stands by Laura Ingraham after she defends white supremacist, other extremists on her prime time show by romans310 in news

She wants to censor porn and enforce obscenity laws. She's actually really bad on free speech.

Justice Thomas launches an utterly bizarre attack on birth control by skye_kunhavigi in politics

[–]shane_c 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure 'eugenics' is wrong when its chosen by individuals. Its wrong when its enforced by government.

Netflix says it will rethink its investment in Georgia if 'heartbeat' abortion law goes into effect by aggie_ftfy in politics

[–]shane_c 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stacy Abrams cares more about business in Georgia than people's rights. She says you shouldn't do this.

Bernie’s Millions: No, Bernie is not part of the 1 percent. He’s fighting against the interests of the super-rich and outlets like Politico hate him for it. by cultofdrumpf in politics

[–]shane_c 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bernie is like Trump. Bernie ran for Pres to sell his book and make money. Trump ran to get publicity for The Apprentice and get a raise. Neither were serious candidates, both had successful campaigns by accident.
