You don't give a shit that he is an Ivy League elitist in a long line of Ivy League elitists.
Let's see how excited you get about this Richard Ojeda. He's Latino, but most people see a white guy when they look at him. He attended state university in West Virginia. He supports Medicare for All, legal weed, and wants to wage a campaign against political lobbies. He retired from the Army with the rank of Major and two bronze stars. He's certainly not an elitist. Be thrilled with him, Brian. I dare you.

Thin? So running a city is easy? How many public offices did Trump have prior to shitting on the White House? Show me Trump's service record?
I don't know what your problem is man. Richard is a Democrat too.
I really do not want a repeat of 2020 like Bernie and Hillary supporters.
Make you a promise, if Richard gets nominated, I will vote for him. But dems need to support whomever gets nominated. We cannot afford any purist bullshit.
8 years of Trump and a terrifyingly lopsided SCOTUS will sink us.
I forgot which founder said it, but, said something like "Surely we should all hang together, or hang separately."
I like this guy too, but it is early on. What need to happen is we support our nominee no matter who.
Have you ever heard me say that Trump's resume qualified him for the presidency? That guy's resume should have disqualified him, in my opinion. He is just a thief who skimmed a percentage of outlandish sums of money that were loaned to him, and then declared bankruptcy on the rest.
The resume of the mayor of South Bend Indiana is very thin. Mostly, he just has an Ivy League education. That's a fact. He never would have made a single national headline, were it not for the fact that being gay made him marketable to the media. I don't want candidates like that. Hopefully, very few people do. I want a strong resume, good leadership, an understanding of the issues, and the ability to set a viable path forward. I don't want the selection to be skewed by ethnicity, gender, or sexual orientation.
And of course you will vote for Ojeda if he gets the nomination. You will vote for anyone who gets the nomination. All of you libtards are like that. So we should completely disregard identity politics and intersectionality, since you people are just going to vote Democrat anyway. But if you people give us a lousy nominee for intersectional reasons, a lot of us on the real left are going to walk.
We do not inherit the world from our parents. We borrow it from our children.
