Of course it is. But it would disingenuous to say that an air strike is the same as a ground invasion. |

Two things can be true: 1) The Iraq policies of both the Clinton and Dubya administrations were humanitarian disasters. 2) Dubya's Iraq policy was more of a humanitarian disaster than Clinton's was. |

In response to Bee, maybe someone like her will be an even better candidate than someone like Beto. |

My tier 1: Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, Pete Buttigieg My tier 2: Cory Booker, Amy Klobuchar, Andrew Yang I don't feel anything for the rest so far. I like Joe Biden but not as a presidential candidate. |

If Trump were to win again, could we see upwards of fifty Republican and Democrat candidates in the next election? I feel like this is the start of a trend... |

Whoever can beat Trump. After that, don't care that much. |

1. Sanders 2. Warren 3. Gillibrand (huge drop-off here) 4. Buttigieg (primarily because of his father) 5. Harris Those are the only five I would even consider doing any get out the vote work for, and really the question for me is between the first two. Beyond that, there's the detestable Mitt Romney Republican crew of Biden, Beto, etc, the single-issue psychos like Moulton, the completely indistinguishable white guys who should merge into one super-candidate (Bullock, Bennett, Swalwell, Hickenlooper, Ryan), and a couple of no-chance weirdos (of which Gravel and Gabbard are by far the best on certain issues). Biden, Booker, and Delaney seem to be the worst right now but that's really anyone's game. |

Mickey wrote: Sanders and Warren have very similar politics. There are some huge differences in how their ideas would play out though. Warren's highly detailed policies -- which mostly amount to "tax the super-rich, and impose modest taxes on those making between $100K-$250K." She has clear delineations of taxes/support for those beneath the poverty line, in the middle class, in the $100K-$250K bracket, $250K+, and then the "super rich" (not sure exactly where this starts). Her vision equates to a check on the capitalist/globalist system that has prospered on the back of everyone else since forever... Bernie's policies, on the other hand, have typically been long on concept and short on details; and with the notable exception of his educational plan, are very much an off-shoot of socialism. Without much info, I see his ideas, in the long run, devolving into the Gov't-subsidized affluenza that Bi_3 mentioned the other day. It'll be fun to watch the two of them debate. |
