Like what is even the point of her? I mean you could say that for a lot of candidates, but those candidates are polling under 2% so whatever. I still think she should drop out before Iowa, as should everyone except Sanders, Warren, and Biden. Buttigieg and Yang can hang around until December to see if anything interesting happens but then they should go too if they're not polling consistent double digits. In other news, everyone is enemies with everyone else now, we can't be friends anymore unless we support the same candidates, understand? Let's all just keep being bitter towards each other, okay? No respect for people who disagree with you allowed, got it? Good, glad we can at least agree on that. Only Bernie and Liz can be friends, everyone else has to hate each other. |
That sort of goes with the territory considering there were at one point like 20 candidates and even now there are around a dozen. It's probably a healthy thing that each one is at least somewhat unique and offers their own perspective. The flipside is that hardcore supporters of each will go at eachother on their differences. The political compass isn't merely a left-right divide but 4 major quadrants, and even within these 4 quadrants, there will be differences and different dimensions. It's not a binary paradigm by any means; it's a vastly complex web of ideals and everyone is largely unique in their perspectives. But yeah I do wish people would start being a bit more accepting.
That said, when you start boiling everything down I'm definitely beginning to see a divide between the more establishment Corporatist Neolib candidates like Biden, Buttigieg, Harris, Castro, Klobochar VS Bernie, Yang, Tulsi, Marriane who occupy more of the fringe, anti-establishment and are farther left for the most part. Even though they may be technically in the same party I'm sensing a vast divide in ideals/policies/philosophies in many ways. Which I definitely gravitate more towards the latter, to the point where the former are almost no better than Trump/MAGA or the establishment GOP to me. Maybe that's just my warped perspective but that's at least how I genuinely see things from where I sit. Warren I still don't know quite what to make of. She seems to have one foot in the establishment/Neolib/Centrist camp and one in the more progressive/anti-Wallstreet/farther left camp (or at least attempting to).
