Democratic Primaries
In reply to the discussion: As a black man [View all]FarRightLiberal
(5 posts)I take a very technical view about how to win. When I look ahead to the general election, I realize we HAVE to energize the base, and win independent voters. Its very hard to beat an incumbent in any office. As for impeachment, Bill Clinton was re-elected after the house approved articles of impeachment for him, and the senate didn't convict, so we have historical reference that not a winning strategy. The reason I like Tulsi, is because I think she is a progressive who understands what it would take to win against Trump. A lot of democrats don't like Tulsi, because they think republicans like her, but she is very liberal, and I don't think any real republican would ever vote for her, but I think independents will. I support Tulsi, mostly because of strategy. I KNOW this is probably a very unpopular thing to say, but I believe Bernie Sanders would have beat Trump in 2016, I believe Tulsi can energize the people who were kind of disengaged when he lost. There is too much congressional tape of Biden sounding like Trump on policy issues, and I cringe now, imagining the ads that would be running against him. I'm REALLY, REALLY trying to think strategy, and which steps will lead to a win against Trump, and so far I'm not hearing a better strategy.
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided
