    At this moment, yes. The current state of the Democrats is a snake eating itself.

    Impeachment won’t happen and will be the nail in the coffin for the 2020 election.

    I'm not a fan of Biden because he's an old man who believes and says old man shit. This is a time when we really need someone forward thinking. Decades forward. Biden ain't that.

    None, straight up. His approval rating is under 40% right now. It’s all in your favor.

    Much like BLM, #metoo is fucktarding itself into oblivion. I know I'm harsh on these things, but that Biden hit piece really was a shit show. You'd be hard pressed to find something more lacking in authenticity. Suffered for years!

    Biden remains the safest pick for a dem win. Nobody really likes him too much, but everyone can live with him.
    Good ole uncle Joe. Always shows up tipsy. Never totally shit faced.

    That’s not going to win an election.

    I think the strongest campaign right now belongs to Warren. Bernie and Biden are polling the strongest which is a good indicator that twitter dems are not a good sampling of dems across the country. They are just the loudest.

    Yeah but if he wins I'm gonna need that money to bribe ICE because my great-grandfather was an illegal immigrant.

    He's been climbing my list. Definitely like the fact that he's leaning into the question of "what will the world be like in 2054."

    Yup, I haven't seen an actual positive article on Biden this campaign season. Maybe huffpo isn't a better representation of the democrat base than twitter? Im with Aetius though, he's simply too fucking old hat, old guard, another wrinkly blue hair Washington insider. They need some Obama 1st campaign energy. He can't be that. I'd say Booker or Harris. Harris is making her own headlines more than Ive heard anything out of Booker at this point.

    Gabbard is my top pick. When you look at her resume she should have the biggest approval rating. The fact that they consider obnoxious, lying twats like Warren or Harris are a top contender is FUCKING PATHETIC.

    Should vs will are two completely different things. I love Beto and Butt dude. Where do they poll? Meanwhile I think Bernie is a nice and honest guy but his platform is, to put it nicely, fucking retarded.

    When you look at trump's resume he should never receive another loan ever, which for some reason qualified him to win the presidency.

    It's like you almost have to suck as a person to a certain degree just to be considered for a major political office.

    Most polls seem to go either:
    1. Biden
    2. Sanders
    3. Buttigieg
    or
    1. Sanders
    2. Biden
    3. Buttigieg
    With Warren, Harris, Booker, and O'Rourke in the hunt, and the rest polling near zero. O'Rourke polls really well in Texas, and Harris in California, but that's to be expected.

    The one thing I learned from the last election is that polls are totally fucked up and don’t mean shit.

    I mean these polls are super early, we haven't even had one debate yet. They'll be a lot more meaningful closer to the election.

    If Bernie Sanders somehow becomes the nominee, I'm 100% voting for Trump. I'd rather vote for an asshole capitalist over a nice-guy socialist any day.

    So, do you think he’s trying to turn your country into Denmark, or Canada? Because we’re not socialist and more than half of you guys seem to think we are. Sure Denmark is socialist. It’s also the best country in the world: happiest, healthiest, best-educated people you’ll ever meet. The reason your country can’t try socialism is combination of over-population and putting toothpaste back in the tube. In general, it fails in large countries. Yes, China sucks.

    Many people would look at Sanders vs. Trump as more as either voting for a person with a brain, or a person without one. Or a voting for a good person against a bad person. That was another big factor for the last election: Hillary “Hey black people, I carry hot sauce in my purse” Clinton was not a good person in any way, shape or form. She’s pretty much the Anti-fucking-Christ.

    Sanders will get the entire minority vote. And the minority vote is what they will push if he’s The Guy. He was a true-blue believer of civil rights back when it meant getting beaten with steel batons just for liking blacks. And the DNC will amplify that after the Primary is over. If he wins.

    Until the first Primary debate it’s a toss-up for me. Many people haven’t seen Booker’s mouth in action. He has it combined with a high IQ that is no doubt going to bury his competition. Most people who know him only hear him at senate hearings where it’s all negative.

    And if Booker ever got to debate Trump? He would slaughter him. Trump’s smart pawning-off of everything compared to how fast Booker is.

    I’m no fan of Bernie but I would vote for him over Trump.

    One of the main reasons those European countries that are “socialist” are so happy and wealthy is because they are taxed super high and they spend next to nothing on their military. They also have small populations and incredibly restrictive immigration policies. I think if we reduced military spending and focused more on improving our crumbling infrastructure, it would be a good start.
