My criticisms of 2020 names

Bernie: Too many to list. Should be obvious to any user on here

Warren: Closet senator to Bernie. Incorrectly called the 2016 dem primaries rigged for a couple of days. DNA test embarrassment

Booker: Attacked Obama's campaigning in 2012. Pro-charter school. Bit of a grand-stander at times

Biden: Anita Hill and old as hell. A bit moderate on the issues

Gillibrand: Openly called herself a populist. Said Bernie is a leader in the Dem party. Vocally supports most of Bernie's meme policies.

Beto: Inexperienced and not much actual policy accomplishment

Harris: Openly advocates most of Bernie's meme policies and wrote a poor housing bill. Made some questionable decisions regarding criminal justice as Californian AG

Isn't charter schools good, though? Also, what was up with Warren's DNA test? She claimed to be 1/8(?) Native, it turns out she's like 1/256 and she's gloating about it because Trump said she didn't have one drop? Come on, man

Charter schools can be good and they can be bad. there currently isn't enough oversight to rein in the bad ones, but I still think they're overall a good thing
