    It’s probably only a coincidence, but has anyone noticed that, with exception of Jimmy Carter, every Democrat who’s been elected has been relatively young?

    Kennedy, Clinton and Obama all were young men by any measure. Like, I’m just a dude and I noticed it. Plus you have (EXTREMELY RELATIVELY) liberals winning national elections in Canada and France.

    It’s kind of crazy that Joe Biden and John Kerry and Bernie Sanders keep floating these 2020 trial balloons and no one in the national Democratic party has figured out that literally everytime they’ve run an old white dude (or woman in Hillary’s case) since the1960s they’ve lost, and that maybe in light of that and elections elsewhere in the world they should actually run younger candidates.

    But maybe expecting the Democrats to see the obvious is asking too much. Sure, let’s allow John Kerry to have delusions about whether or not he should run for President. Why not? It’s not like the fate of the world is on the line.

      So Joe Kennedy III & Kristin Gillibrand if they can get the chapstick/dog drool situation under control?

      There’s probably something to be said for it.

      The vote of those darn yoots is deeply unreliable, but I could imagine that seeing an old fuddy duddy up there running against whatever vision of “The Man” the Republicans put out there doesn’t help it much.

    It’s funny how Neo Liberal has become the response to “I really don’t think he’ll be elected”, and “how the hell do you think that would pass, Executive Order?!?”

      “Neo-liberal” has become code for “a person who knows how the government works and realizes you can’t pass legislation by clicking your heels three times and saying ‘there’s no place like single-payer healthcare’.”

      Neo-liberal has become synomous with people who understand that their are processes and layers and politics and a bunch of obstacles to actually fundamentally changing things in the world instead of blindly thinking that any old white dude with some nice rhetoric and a bag full of dreams can do anything he wants because he’s President. Being a neo-liberal means you understand that being President is not the same thing as being a king.

      Yep. If I’m talking about the irritating, ineffective Left, I’m talking about these idiots 9/10 times.

      I cannot abide people who decide to eschew any sort of rational thought in favor of “I’ma get in my feelings and THEN you’ll see some shit!” And many of these folks will trip over themselves to prove that they’re exactly that.

    Michael you should have just written an article asking women of color to run for the presidency. Because, let’s be real......we just get shit done.

    What part of the H? But yea I have been saying this. If I ran the DNC, I would institute one rule. If you run for president once and lose, you can’t run for it again. I’ve heard HRC is kicking around the idea of running again.

    Whenever I have offered valid criticism of Sanders, I get called a neoliberal, which to me is the equivalent of “shade” in that folks learn a new word and use it without knowing what the hell it means.

    No lie found.

    If so, great, but considering where we are now, would it not be better to promote his policies through others rather than have himself at the top of the ticket?

    Yes.

      People tell on themselves real quick when you ask them if they’d be okay with a younger person than Bernie saying all the same Bernie stuff. That’s when you learn if they’re down for the cause or down for Bernie.

      For real, I want his time and energy spent growing a good farm team that can enter state government and get Congressional seats - his line of thinking always did more for me at the legislative level than executive.

    Can this article just somehow end up at the top of everything. Top of Google. Top of MSN. Top of CNN. Top of Facebook. Can you rent an airplane and fly this around America. Can this be what they shout in the Stock Market? Can this be on ticker signs on all buses across America. Can you get a Superbowl Commercial for this article. Can the Statue of Liberty hold this article so all the ships can see it. Instead of the dancing club girl on the bldg in Miami can this be put up with Bodak Yellow playing.

      Plus, Joe Biden running at a time when we are all being reminded once again what a necessary hero Anita Hill was would be a major setback.

      Not to mention Uncle Joe has videos of him giving crazy unwanted sexual attention to women. He is not the man for the job...actually, at this point, I don’t think there is a man for this job.

    A lot of these “pending” posts have a lot of merit and nothing inappropriate or uncivil, yet they’ve been left invisible for days. I probably won’t bother coming back here to comment again with so much censorship in play.
