2020 Election Thread (formerly: 2020 Presidential Candidates Thread) (Part 1)

You don’t challenge someone to a contest if you want to display that you maintain a youthful vigor.

You have informal photo ops staged where you’re engaged in a physical activity like clearing brush, riding a Harley or playing shuffleboard.

I invoke the image of Putin riding a horse shirtless without actually clicking on, downloading or posting the image.

I’m not even sure what I’m seeing there. Which ones are supposed to be the Buttigieg supporters, the older African-Americans or the white(?) guy screaming at them?

I’d buy that for a dollar!

But it wouldn’t be fair. Biden would be fighting completely outside of his weight class- Trump must have 120 pounds on him.

Seriously- Donnie would have a heart attack in the first round.

I just watched the exchange between Biden and the questioner. WOW! Judging from the video, I bet his supporters loved his “fighting spirit” or whatever.

P.S. Not to be a killjoy, but Biden is notably jacked IRL. I’m so sorry, but he is probably actually decent at push-ups. :grimacing: No malarkey!

Anyway, he’s not my pick in the primary (Go Warren), but I’ll vote for him over Trump any day.

What he means is that he wasn’t asked about it by anyone whose opinion counted.

The local starvation army put out a leaflet saying that they help people regardless of sexuality or gender identity.

Even assuming the best intentions (and I know all about how certain religious groups try to “help” queer people), I still don’t believe them.

Saw this and found it interesting in regards to the 2016 election and looking forward to 2020

You’re absolutely right, it makes whomever made the challenge look ridiculous.

Don’t know if you have them over there, but Catholic Workers (started by Dorothy Day) do NOT proselytize at all. They provide food, etc. because it’s what they’re called to do. No religious talk, no bigotry, no judgment.

I try to keep good relations going with religious socialists and anarchists, even if I won’t agree with everything they say. I know about the Catholic Workers although I don’t know how active they are here.
