The next presidential election of the United States of America I think will be even more fun than these with the election of Donald trump.
After the expiration of George W. Bush's term in office, US policy seems like a circus. First, the first black President was chosen, then the first woman was almost chosen, but he was prevented by a comedian in the person of trump.
I all??? think that the next President should be from number of actors show business if to follow this logic, if not will emerge what any another the dark-horse.
Topic: 2020 Democratic Nominee. (Read 1213 times)
California is quite centrist. Home of the Reagan democrats and just elected Feinstein over a progressive. The place that gave you Kamala Harris.
There was a couple of polls out of Iowa this weekend.
Iowa only matters because its primary is very early in the election season, and the results of their primary influence if donors will support candidates. Interestingly, CA is moving up their primary to March, on "Super Tuesday". This could actually backfire for Democrats and force Democrat presidential hopefuls to move left to get support of CA voters, but being so far left that centrists will be turned off.
I'd crossover and vote democrat if its the right candidate. So far I'm only really interested in voting for these:
Bernie
Tulsi
Yang
If Booker adepts the green new deal I'd be on board and maybe I could warm up to Warren. but I'd never vote for this list of neoliberals
Biden
Harris
Kaine
Holder
Clinton
Beto
Gillibrand
Klobuchar
Cuomo
Bernie
Tulsi
Yang

Avenatti lol. Will definitely get the women vote!

Biden ~30%
Sanders ~20%
O'Rourke ~10%
Warren, Harris and Booker all come in behind them with single digits (Booker polled the worst at ~4)%

I don't think she'll win but I reckon Ocasia-Cortez will stage a run, most likely for purely publicity reasons.
I'm a former Democrat, but unless they nominate someone like Jim Webb, you can forget people like me (classical liberals) ever coming back. The Democrats and Republicans are now the party of Open borders, large government spending including huge deficits, corporate welfare and the list goes on but you get my drift.
Elizabeth Warren is too much attached with the establishment like Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders is too old. I'd go for Tulsi Gabbard, if her religion is not an issue.
To be fair, any theist is a bad choice. I'm not sure how we can appoint these irrational people to office, but it seems it's been done over and over.
There has never been an openly atheist POTUS. Being openly atheist is an instant death blow federally. The best you can hope for at this point is someone who's faking it, like Trump LOL!

Why not nominee Al Green or Al Gore? those guys are good possible candidates. Also, Joe Biden or Bill Clinton can win against Trump or other Republican candidates.
I believe that Bernie Sanders could have won against Trump but he was threatened and he backed off

Bill Clinton is term'ed out.
Al Gore left politics as far as I know. Never heard of Al Green. Sanders would have won in 2016 easily.

That can never happen. AOC is barely old enough to become a senator in 2020. She will still only be 34 in 2024. Bernie will be too old in 2028.
Sanders/AOC...
Yeah in ideal world ancestry doesn't matter when it comes to leadership but we are not living in one. In the current political system all around the world, I don't think its true. it's good for discussion or taking high moral ground but again not going to happen in ground level IMHO.
Edit
How about Tulsi Gabbard?

@bluefirecorp_ Just out of curiosity. do you think that Americans are ready for Asian background candidate to lead their country as a President? Andrew Yang is American but culturally only. and it applies to another Asian politician as well, to name a few Bobby Jindal, Nikki Haley etc.
I mean, an orange man was elected president. I don't see why yellow people can't be elected.
I don't think origin of ancestry really matters when it comes to leadership to be honest. We all immigrated to America at one point in time, rather it be a hundred years ago or ten thousand years ago.
I haven't looked at any of these candidate's political views quite yet, so I haven't judged them. Just listed the people who are candidates. I saw a semi-republican running, so that'll be interesting.

At this point I'm not actually sure who that candidate is.
I'd prefer someone under 45 years old
