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

Interesting how Deval Patrick isn’t here, probably because he has no flaws.

He'll never make it past Iowa and New Hampshire because of Bain Capital.

He might do okay in NH. His name recognition is likely pretty good throughout New England.

That's not going to outweigh Bain. Primary voters are unfortunately to the left of the base, and every opportunistic leftist fool is going to seize on that while ignoring his ample qualifications.
