Why? He shoots for the moon. I'm not sure if I love all of Sander's policies, but I want him as the person who is controlling the national narrative.

Nah, pass. I do like Tulsi Gabbard and would break my pledge of never voting for a Dem and vote for her if she got the nomination.

I actually like Tulsi too... But why do you?

Assad's *****.

My top 3, in no particular order, are Sanders, Buttigieg, and Tulsi.

But I’ll vote for whoever the Dem nominee is.

You like Harris? She would make my bottom 3.

I actually like Tulsi too... But why do you?

#1) She is a veteran
#2) She is very well spoken and charismatic
#3) She believes we need to tackle issues one at a time not all at once.
#4) She is pro Israel and pro our allies in general
#5) She is very pragmatic when it comes to the economy

The above five in no particular order.

#6) She is easy on the eyes --- I kid

Pete Buttigieg would fit all but the Israel category, just FYI. Not sure about his stance on Israel, and honestly I don't care.

Pete is pro Israel. He is gay and he knows in any Muslim country he would be killed. To me he is not as charismatic or experienced as Tulsi and his military campaign was not as impressive as hers. What I dislike about him is how religious he is and again he doesn't pass my charisma test. Harris and Warren are awful. Anyone voting for them needs to explain to me the reasoning as to why.

Interestingly on 27% of registered Democrats sympathize with Israel and 79% of Republicans do. This to me is mind boggling as the perception is that the Republicans are antisemites and racists.

Fair enough. I like Pete because he seems like the smartest person in the race. Very calculated and well-spoken.

Maybe (hear me out here) a majority of people don't think that being antisemitic and being pro-Israel are one and the same?

Even my boy Ben Shapiro said that Pete is the smartest one in the race and Ben would love to debate him as a challenge. I don't think he is LEFT enough for your party. Same with Tulsi. Your party doesn't care about my vote btw.

As a Jew and growing up a Jew and wearing the Star of David around my neck I have experienced direct antisemitism and I am not remotely religious. To me Israel is not a water, buildings and dirt. It is people. Jewish people. They elected a Gov't who may be brutal to some but to them it will protect them from those who want them obliterated and many still recall WW2 when for no reason at all they were marked for death in the most brutal of ways.

So when you say I am not "pro-Israel" you're saying to me that you're against the only Jewish state where via a democratic election the people who have been expelled and discriminated against everywhere, including the US have found a home, their ancient homeland and would like to just live in peace.

Buttigieg isn't left enough for the party? You know who is leading the polls right now? Joe ******* Biden!

Where you lose me in your logic is right here, "To me Israel is not a water, buildings and dirt. It is people. Jewish people." I disagree. Israel is only 75% Jewish. America is around 70% Christian. What's the difference? I don't see Israel as a state representing Jews, I just see it as a state.

Yes but that is because the Far Left vote is split between Warren, Booker, Sanders and Harris. Once one emerges and the others drop then Biden will be out and likely taken over by Warren.

America is not the only Christian nation there are plenty of others but Israel is the only Jewish one. That to me is the difference. If Israel was mostly Christian, I would be in the same boat as you.

A more accurate term would be progressive, but you are probably right. Biden will still get the old white guy vote though.


I don't see how that matters.
