Mass Gov announces plan to challenge 45
This guy was Gary Johnson's running mate on the libertarian ticket in 2016. So the Johnson voters know him. I support any and all primary challengers taking on Trump. Yes! That's where I recognize his name from.

I want to day Bill Weld basically told people to vote for Hillary once we hit mid-2016, but I'm not positive. That was like 100 years ago.

Bernie officially threw his hat in the ring. 😑 Fuck Bernie. He needs to sit down. I would feel different if he had thrown his support behind the nominee last time but he continued to be divisive and an ass.

In case anyone was wondering about Maine Independent Senator Angus King. He announced this morning on New Day he would NOT be seeking a presidential nomination.

Cool. So Howie and Bernie teamed up to make sure Donnie gets re-elected. Old white men are the best. FML.

AYFKM @cnn get your shit together and quit spotlighting old white men

Just what we need... /s
He's so stubborn and self-centered that he can't even realize that perhaps his time is over. I hope he just gets demolished in debates and the primaries. Sit down, old man.

Maybe I’m naive, but I just don’t see him garnering the same support from last go around. There are quite a few great candidates with progressive platforms to choose from. No one needs Shouty McShouterson.

No one needs Shouty McShouterson. I'm here with you. I, personally, know of several people who were HUGE Bernie bros that now feel totally burned and lied to by him. I think he'll have a core group but not nearly as much as before. Most candidates support Medicare for All, and that was really his main shouty point. There are candidates who speak so much more eloquently on their platforms. Plus, I am finding it hard to see a way he comes out looking respectable after all of the issues with his campaign last time. "I didn't know about it" just doesn't cut it for a lot of people.

No one needs Shouty McShouterson. I've talked about how I voted for him in the 2016 primary. Will not be doing that again. I will give him all the props for pushing the party farther left, but this time there are several better candidates with basically the same platform. He's not bringing anything new or exciting to the table this time around. He's just a shouty old white dude and we've been there, done that. Pass.

I love that my mom and I feel the same way about Bernie these days. We were chatting this morning and she said “That old man needs to sit down.” I mentioned ageism and she said “Damn right I’m ageist. I want a president who is younger than me.” 😁
She’s Team Kamala. I love my mom.

I don't even care that Bernie is old. I'd have the same shanado dog face about him if he were a strapping young 45-year old. He is a blowhard, he's got some creeping sexist and racist behavior, and he DOESN'T LISTEN.

(If he's the gd Dem candidate I will vote for him but I would really really rather he just didn't go anywhere near the actual candidacy.)

The real positive I've been seeing is multiple folks discussing how Bernie changed his affiliation back to Independent after (during?) the convention, and how he's not a goddamn Democrat - so no, the DNC owes him absolutely nothing. He's only a Democrat when it serves him to use their money and lists, etc.
On the negative, the Bros are out in FORCE against Kamala for daring to be a Prosecutor.

I had a very spirited conversation (but ultimately good) with my late-20-something cousin about a year ago where I told him this exact thing. At the time he was hoping for a Bernie 2020 run and I hope he remembers this.

edit: sorry, I see this was discussed in the weekly thread! Off to catch up. I'm putting this here bc its 2020 related. CNNs new political director is a former Sessions DOJ spokesperson who once called the network the "Clinton News Network". Not good.
