I don’t care if he’s pushing 1400. At least he stands for something.
Which topic? Pretty much everyone on the environment, and at least Bernie on everything else. But you could throw in Tulsi, Yang and a few others.
Most of the field is just paying lip service to that stuff. You know the DCCC and DNC won’t stand for it.
Bernie has been fighting for the same things for 40 years. He isn't just paying lip service.
No, I agree with that much. At least when it comes to healthcare and his views on an equitable society. But I think he’s a liberal imperialist on foreign policy, and the constant swooning betrays how bad he is on that.
It's true. As if Gravel 2020 could possibly get any danker.
He was Senator from Alaska, right? Same place that voted for Ted Stevens? I’m still trying to figure that one out.The General said:
Not to generalize but I'm going to generalize the level of crazy in Alaska is Floridaesque.
Having lived in both there are differences. At least back in the 80s Alaska crazy was frontier crazy not crazy from the heat crazy.
Alaska is an intense place. I get why it’s nuts up there. Darkness, isolation, thousands of miles of empty space. I understand, respect their crazy.
If I'd have had a job when I got out of the AF I would've stayed in Alaska. Loved it. It was just so natural and rugged. You could easily get places where you felt alone but not lonely if that makes sense. Just natural beauty everywhere. The dark winter never bothered me.Alaska is an intense place.

Florida crazy is just crazy for no reason
Beautiful it is. Place is intense, it’s own country. A very interesting place.
Gravel’s a madmanBeautiful it is. Place is intense, it’s own country. A very interesting place.
I’m really just kidding around about this Gravel guy. I know next to nothing about him and actually agree with a lot of the stuff I read about him on his wiki.
I’m guessing he’s a little wacky though
I don’t agree with this. I think he does bring some things to the party that are otherwise absent from the current group of Democratic candidates.
There is an amazing similarity to with this guy and President Trump. He says nothing and has no details of how he is going to accomplish anything and Trump talks and rambles on and has no details of how he is going to accomplish anything.
Tell me more Hillary man
You don’t actually know anything about his history, do you?
In 1972, Mike Gravel accepted sexual favors from a fellow Congressman’s employee on a houseboat in exchange for voting in line with him. It came to light in 1975-1976. That’s why he lost the primary in 1980. He denied ever having met her for years. Then admitted to sleeping with her, eventually. It was part of a rather large prostitution scandal in Congress. The others (paying a staffer to be a mistress, for instance) were easier to prove. So he skated. But it was real.
It's interesting that you find this disqualifying, but not voting for the Iraq war and overthrowing Libya. If he slept with her as part of an exchange for votes (a he said she said thing at this point), well, ok. I didn't know he slept with Miss Virginia on his houseboat 47 years ago, so thanks for that I guess.
It’s interesting that you think a bad decision is disqualifying, but not selling your vote in the Senate for sex with an employee while married.
Troll? I mean how can anyone seriously support this guy? The whole campaign is an internet joke.
And we have a supporter of him posting a social media image of Gravel with a chair going after Biden while Ren has a crying laughing emoji. It’s very much the Trump supporter playbook from 4 years ago.
That’s how I feel about the other guys. A bunch of Obama 2.0s. How can anyone possibly stand these focus group-tested posers and their empty brand? Their performative mating rituals with billionaire donors?
He has plenty of wonderful and sincere beliefs but the campaign is an internet troll job. I don’t have time for that. We need to treat this election more seriously not less. I’m sure there’s not going to be President close to perfect but we can try to elect the one that will come closest.
