Biden's poll numbers have skyrocketed since his announcement

We can have some.

I’m slowly coming to the opinion that it shouldn’t be Biden. I was watching Maher’s show Friday and the point was made that Biden is the comfortable pair of broken in shoes, but those candidates don’t win. I’m not excited to vote for Biden, same as Hillary. I don’t want a third Obama term. I don’t have a candidate, i don’t really like any of these people. Last time I complained the primary was between Hillary and Bernie now it’s Biden and Bernie and a bunch of people I still don’t care about. This will be a fun election.

no candidate is ever ideal

but you have a good point

age, race, religion, gender, and sexual partner gender preference do not add value to any candidate.

That hasn’t always been the case.

Actually, I don’t think it is right now.

I don’t think a Muslim would have a chance to get the nomination on either ticket right now. It’s questionable whether a homosexual has a chance. Someone that is Trans? No way.

In my opinion.

In my opinion.

well muslims are getting elected to congress. only a matter of time

same for gay, and eventually trans. not to rule out buttigeg or whatever already

the left and dems however, by far, value these identities. at least, they did until they started learning biden might be their best chance

hell hillary outright said back in 2015 that she differentiates herself from obama by being a woman

Yes, but these aren’t national elections. I think Buttigieg is great. I love the way he can talk genuinely about his Christian religion. I’m not sure the nation is ready for that yet though. It will come eventually though. You’re right about that. Trans, among other things, is probably further off in my estimation.

thinkingman:

You’re right. It seems the right and Republicans don’t value these identities. This is probably why they overwhelmingly vote for Democrats.

I think it’s too early to predict who the Democratic nominee is. It’s going to be an exciting horse race though.

What are his extreme views?

Extreme in the sense of a centrist and especially from the view of those on the other side of the aisle.

-Top tax bracket up to 90%
-Federal minimum wage to $15
-Expansion of welfare programs
-Approves of Obama era Iran relations. Less sanctions, more diplomacy.
-Two state Israel solution. Critical at times of Israel and has been called out by the ADL.
-Free public universities.
-Single payer universal healthcare
-Very pro-choice
-12 mandate 12 weeks maternity/paternity leave
-Ban assault rifles, universal background checks
-Strong LGBT advocate
-Against death penalty
-Favors DACA, new citizenship pathways
-Marijuana legalization

I’m not saying any of these are unique or that other candidates have similar stances. It is his political views in total.

None of those things are bad. If anything they are long overdue.

Hell, your post can be an ad for him.

And looking at polling none of those positions are “extreme.”

National background checks and an AWB?

I don’t think those are “extreme” positions (not that extreme positions are bad). I doubt that those positions will even come up in the election. After all, the Clinton camp was trying to paint Sanders as some how responsible for Orlando because of his gun control history.

Yeah, my response was more generalized. For instance, the two state solution bit in the list is dumb as hell on Bernie’s part.

My focus was more about labeling someone or someone’s position as “extreme” so I wasn’t going explicate on every issue.
