Just some wildly meaningless statistics about the popularity of democratic 2020 candidates.


/photo

more than 50% popularity:
1. Kamala Harris
2. Elizabeth Warren
3. Cory Booker

45% to 50% popularity:
4. Julian Castro
5. Bernie Sanders
6. Amy Klobuchar



I wonder if the democratic primary 2020 will be as toxic as the one in 2016.

When primary season rolled around in 2016, the DU-forum all of a sudden got toxic as shit with their fights between Clinton-fans and Sanders-fans.

Otherwise I find no toxicity in Dem candidates.
Bernie was financially supported by Russia.
He won’t be our candidate. If he runs as an independent he will continue to be toxic.

PS I voted for Bernie in the primary. So lay off the Bernie pushback please. (Not meaning the poster)

Lots to degrade Clinton and push Bernie.
Same shit that they did everywhere to get anyone but Hillary elected. I was infected by it some. I never thought Clinton was crooked. But the push about her speech content and the closeness to corporate America was emphasized did register with me .

When I found out Russianbots were mostly responsible for most of the bs re: Clinton I was immediately changed.
I’m not making any allegations about Bernie knowingly having help from Russia.
However, Bernie has yet to show his taxes either.

....back in early 2018.

From the actual indictment itself:

“operations primarily intended to communicate derogatory information about Hillary Clinton, to denigrate other candidates such as Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio, and to support Bernie Sanders and then-candidate Donald Trump.”

and according to the new rule if he isn't a Dem by the time of the debates he won't be a Dem candidate.
