If a possible Biden candidacy isn't enough .....HOUSE DEMOCRATIC LEADERSHIP WARNS IT WILL CUT OFF ANY FIRMS THAT CHALLENGE INCUMBENTS
The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee warned political strategists and vendors Thursday night that if they support candidates mounting primary challenges against incumbent House Democrats, the party will cut them off from business.
The news was officially announced Friday morning, paired with a statement on the committee’s commitment to diversity in consulting — “which, obviously, is just to give themselves cover,” a Democratic political consultant who learned of it Thursday told The Intercept. The consultant asked for anonymity given their relationship with the DCCC, and the party organization’s professed strategy of blacklisting firms that don’t fall in line.
To apply to become a preferred vendor in the 2020 cycle, firms must agree to a set of standards that includes agreeing not to work with anyone challenging an incumbent.
“I understand the above statement that the DCCC will not conduct business with, nor recommend to any of its targeted campaigns, any consultant that works with an opponent of a sitting Member of the House Democratic Caucus,” the form reads.
It’s no secret that the DCCC and national party leaders often interfere on behalf of preferred candidates. Or that they otherwise jump into the game too late, if they don’t completely write off newcomers who don’t meet their standards. The DCCC is known for prioritizing candidates and direct them to its own consultants, most of whom are alumni of the DCCC, which is known in Washington as a “consultant factory.” The latest move only reaffirms that reputation and sends a warning shot to grassroots and progressive consultants.
D-trip claims its top priority is protecting the majority, and that in order to do so, they must keep internal discord at a minimum. But as progressive candidates, organizers, and members build grassroots campaigns and prove they can hold their own, the D-trip’s old playbook is having the opposite effect.
The committee is telling firms they can’t oppose sitting members, the strategist said. “I’d rather keep the majority too, which is why to me this is kind of stupid to have a blanket rule. Because, if it’s a safe incumbent seat, why does it matter?”
The DCCC’s move also creates a new niche business, paradoxically, opening the door for consultants who don’t want to be under the thumb of the party. “From here on out, let’s refer to the DCCC for what it is, the White Male Centrist Campaign Protection Committee,” said Sean McElwee of Data for Progress. “My email is seanadrianmc@gmail.com . Any challenger looking for firms to work with them can feel free to reach out. There are plenty.”
For both parties, campaigns are a big business, and it has created an ecosystem that feeds those within it and starves those outside of it. “The Democratic and Republican parties are commercial enterprises and they’re very much interested in their own survival,” Rep. Stephen Lynch, D-Mass., previously told The Intercept. “The money race is probably more important to them than the issues race in some cases.”
The main beneficiaries are the consultants in the good graces of party leadership. “It’s a commercial enterprise,” said Lynch.

Joe Biden will not announce too early. As soon as a candidate announces, the candidate can no longer collect speaking fees, and ol' Joe commands $100k a pop. If it looks like Joe has a shot at winning, he can up his speaking fee price in the interim to collect from the influence buyers.

After seeing his anti-White spasm recently, I'm convinced he's also contracted Wokestercoccous. Not drinking after him. Also, keep your graspy hands off me, creepy Joe.

I don't think they have a stronger candidate. Crazy Joe would def get more heartland votes than any of the other candidates.

Sadly for the state of today's left he is probably still the least anti white candidate the Dems can come up with.

DNC will suppress Gabbard, which is sad, because she's got promise. Schultz is a dark horse, but does not seem like an idiot. Both would be far preferable to the likely candidate, Harris.

Beto also has a lot more skeletons in his closet. And I'm sure Drinking and Hacking weren't his only youthful problems
"Look at those arms"...
And of course, maximum Wokefulness requires that Older White Males step aside for Minorities and especially Minority Women.
Problem is, the minority woman fucked her way to the top, and the people she beat out remember.

There was a saying I heard once: "Women almost never manage to fuck their way to the top, but an awful lot manage to fuck their way somewhere high into the middle."
I watched the honey traps and the dumb sticks in my career and education, and it was pretty obvious that a lot of the honey traps fucked themselves a lot higher than any other talent would dictate. They always have to find a higher male to fuck and manipulate if they want to go up the food chain, but obviously they wind up restricted somewhere below the highest guy they fuck. As mentioned, they also can leave a trail of resentments from the chumps they left behind. The best they can hope for is a vampiric or blackmailing partnership as an appendage to an ultimate alpha, or somebody high but sub-alpha.

Absolutely. She was however in a key time and place - DA of Big FIRE San Fran during the financial crisis - which may have made her an exception to the rule.
She prevented Parole Officers in San Fran from enforcing residency requirements ("Jessica's Law") on Pedos, which should be a huge stick she can be hit with, especially with Married Women. Probably Pedos are the Hard Left's next gambit for an "oppressed" minority if they dare pick it up, which they flirted with in the 60s/70s also.
In any case, I'll continue to suggest that Beto has other issues, given his punk rock days he just might be a ...

She is characteristic of the new breed of California politician: louche, easily corruptible, amoral, no belief foundation, pandering, flip flopping depending on context, catering to the more third world paradigm of patronage politics rather than genuine social progress.
Ultimately, in the national context, women see her as a sex predator interloper, and men view her as a scheming mattressback. She'll just try to get a soft brains voting bloc and trade it for some kind of more illustrious appointment if she can.

It took my wife no time at all to find out how creepy Joe Biden is with respect to women and little girls. She’s like never no way. And she voted for Jill in the last election.
Women aren’t going to vote for a pedophile. And without women any Democrat is sunk!

How else to describe Joe Biden, the former vice president and ex-senator from Delaware, who is leading in the polls and has hinted that he’d reveal whether he’s running for president in “a few weeks” and might select a running mate early in the process?
Forget, for a moment, his “blue-collar-uncle-at-the-end-of-the-bar persona.” Ignore also his recent, and ridiculous, claim to have the “most progressive record of anybody” running for president. Consider, instead, the sheer number of similarities he seems to have with the vanquished Democratic presidential candidate of 2016.
More on each of the topics below in full article...
Iraq War supporter? Check.
Friend of Wall Street? Check.
Champion of mass incarceration? Check. Millions of black voters refused to turn out for Clinton in 2016. Why wouldn’t they do the same in response to a Biden candidacy in 2020?
Establishment-friendly? Check.
Gaffe-prone? Check.
Loser? Check.
Yet now, it seems, he and his supporters believe this serial loser is the only Democratic candidate able to win back white-working class voters from Trump and triumph in the 2020 presidential election?
Where is the actual evidence for this ludicrous claim? For a start, a recent poll found that “every potential Democratic candidate in the 2020 presidential election — announced and unannounced — would beat President Trump in a head-to-head contest.” (As Biden himself conceded to The Intercept in December, “I think anybody can beat him.”)
The bigger issue, however, is that there is no question for the Democrats in 2020 to which Biden is the answer. Have they really learned no lessons from three years ago?
