I do not think we are on the same side, on most issues, when it comes to 2020 candidates. Anyway, that was not the point. We should try to play some games, sometime, cos it seems we are on the same side of noobishness when playing aoe3 :P

I did not understand what your message was about here, could you elaborate/explain it for the dumb asses (like myself) :P

My point is just that Sanders seems to just be "You can't afford X, so I'll give you X." While Warren seems capable of a more in depth analysis of social problems. She even wrote a book about the problems two-income families have. She doesn't seem like the drones and politicians who don't seem to have healthy, communitarian motives behind their Progressivism.

I disagree with you, cos as far as I have seen and heard, every proposal Sanders have suggested, he has also spoken on how to fund it. He even wrote a book ;)

I didn't mean it like that. :lol: I meant it as "You can't afford healthcare, so Sanders will give you will healthcare" or "You can't afford your student loans, so I'll give you free college."

I still dont get what you mean, looking at his record. What do you actually mean :idea: I can only take a guess here: Do you meen that USA cannot afford it, or is it just a handout from the rich to the poor ppl. As I said, I am confused of what you mean :?:

Biden will be found out, pretty soon, and then his popularity will drop like a rock, and he will leave the race. That is my prediction, anyway.
He is not a fighter, but more like an empty suit wants the presidency to be handed to him like a coronation. Guess he resembles Clinton in that regard.

@fightinfrenchman True. Forgot how close it was last time. Be interesting to see how it plays out with so many candidates.

My thoughts about him are that he lacks the energy to stay in the dogfight this is going to be. He has pulled out before, and I think he will do that again, once he understands that it's not going to be ez.
this is, of course, my speculations, and nothing he has actually said :!:

It's also possible that Trump wins another term.

Then Dems get turbo-annoyed and push for impeachment. And then Mike Pence becomes president if Trump gets impeached.

Then the USA returns to its Pilgrim Fathers values.

Seriously though. I cannot wait for Sanders, Warren and Harris to savage Biden in the debates.

As someone with money riding on Trump winning re-election I can't help but agree. It will be good for Democrats to attack each other
