John Delaney might literally be the only thing in the world that could persuade me to vote for Donald Trump
Who in God's name is "Governor Bullock"?
"Medicare for All... Who Want It." Clever.
If I ran for president (as the second Muslim president in US history, obviously), it would be on a single issue platform: to reduce the primary season to 8 weeks
That's a pretty great line from @PeteButtigieg: If we embrace a far left agenda, Republicans will call us socialists. If we embraced a conservative agenda, Republicans will call us socialists. So let's just do what's right (paraphrase)
@PeteButtigieg It's also true about polarized electoral environments: Voter attitudes are inelastic, i.e. they don't change much according to the actual policy positions that leaders adopt, so it doesn't actually matter much how "far left" a candidate's positions are
@PeteButtigieg Oh snap. Warren just destroyed random white dude no. 3 (Delaney?)
@PeteButtigieg The idea that a centrist is the best bet to beat Trump is just so self-evidently off—empirically, logically, and morally—that I find it hard to believe that anyone's still persuaded by it
@PeteButtigieg Great line from Bernie: Why are Democrats afraid of big ideas? Republicans aren't afraid of big ideas (paraphrase)
@PeteButtigieg Also, I'm impressed that Bernie knows that Tim's name is "Tim." Is anyone else capable of that?
@PeteButtigieg On a group chat with some friends, Marianne Williamson is coming off strong. I can't tell whether they're messing with me or not though
