June 2 has become a late-breaking major voting day for the 2020 primary calendar, after six states pushed back their elections amid the coronavirus pandemic.
Oregon, again, is ahead of the nation for voting. All elections, local and state wide, are by mail.
Stacey Abrams was just on MSNBC and was brilliant in her analysis and proposed strategy. I hope the Democratic leadership listens to this woman - BIGLY!
“It’s a good time to institute these measures that we’ll probably need to do for the November election to ensure that if there’s another flare-up with the virus, we can still hold the election,” Rosenberg said.
Louder, please. The GOP can’t hear you.
I hope she’s the VP nominee with Biden!
Stacey Abrams may be a bright and inspirational public official (I don’t know, I’m in Illinois and my only exposure to her is what I read here) but her only elective office has been the state legislature. I think we want someone with wider experience.
Check out her bio and her experience—much wider than you think.
It’s not always about elective office.
Trump will be calling her an affirmative action hire within 5 minutes.
Which will result in lots of votes for the Dem ticket.
And lots of votes for the GOP ticket. Gotta rile up the rubes.
Which will compare nicely to his white soul food* ticket.
*White soul food = mayo on Wonder Bread.
If shame doesn’t cull the GOP turnout, then COVID 19’s death toll will.
I’ll take Stacy Abraham’s public service experience any time over the Covidiot Trump’s lack of public service experience.
That said, aside from public service experience, the most important thing(s) to consider for a politician is the character…more so for a president…MUST NOT have malignant narcissistic tendencies and MUST NOT be a Mythomaniac!
Not so many as you’d think.
The GOP’s base has shrunk, and doesn’t have enough voters to win.
Counterpoints: 2016 and the Electoral College. But they’re doing their damnedest to kill off their primary demographic, so there’s that.
Trump is underwater in all three of the states that gave him the freak EC win.
He was underwater in all three of them in 2016 too. Right up until Election Day.
At least we’re not nominating a historically unpopular and reviled candidate this time around.
I’m not arguing she wouldn’t be a vast improvement on Benedict Donald, any sentient being would and I’m certain she’s way past that. I’m asking for greater elective experience than the state leg.
While there are procedural reasons for completing the primary election exercise, Sanders could make the urgency moot. But he won’t, because 
Bernie! 
Again—elective experience isn’t the end-all and be-all for candidates, especially at the VP level. And in her elective experience, she was the GA House minority leader, and would have been the current governor if there hadn’t been open and blatant cheating.
She’s wicked smart, a galvanizing speaker, a rising star in the party—and most important, she could put several Southern states in play for Democrats up and down the ballot.
