Democratic Primaries
In reply to the discussion: Yikes..where are the Beto fans? He, above all [View all]Celerity
(46,154 posts)Not one of the other of our candidates has signed onto Beto's mandatory buyback/criminalisation scheme, which is electoral suicide. If Beto wants to be the big player off of this, then why did he not go after the entire rest of the field? Call them all basically cowards like he did with Buttigieg? Every other candidate agrees with Pete on this subject, yet he goes after only Pete.
Plus he has a go at Pete for a lack of courage (he called him afraid), when Pete and Gabbard are the only 2 combat veterans in the whole field. I do not see any history of Beto putting his life on the line for his nation.
Pete has not changed his positions on anything of import from the start, and comes from the background of being a mid-sized town mayor and having extremely limited financial resources until well into this year campaigns. He certainly did not have the means to run some labyrinthine poll-driven, focus group manufactured schema before he tossed his hat into the ring.
It is rot.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
