13342684, ideally a black moderate. Posted by Reeq, Sat Aug-10-19 03:35 PM
i would normally say anyone with blue collar rust belt type dna...but running 2 white people on the ticket after what we saw with black turnout in 2016 would be an absolute sin.
a strong black candidate juicing up black turnout would pretty much guarantee a win in every rust belt state but ohio anyway (like 2018).
dems have the suburbs rapidly coming their way but really left wing policies from warren like dramatically raising taxes on *all* guns *and* ammunition is not going to do her/them any favors. https://twitter.com/Robillard/status/1160177903616897025
basically gun violence would decrease because people couldnt afford it lol. seriously. thats not a punchline.
i understand the impulse but she needs to dial back some of these proposals to fit the places dems saw pickups in 2016 and 2018. dems could lock them in for a generation but warren is running on stuff that would make them turn away. a lot of her platform is liberal/academia think tank stuff that relies on stats and projections irrespective of real world human perception/behavior.
