1. I wish Inlsee would show up

He is the voice that the Xers, Millennials and the rest want to hear. They are going to be living through some grave stuff in about 30 years or maybe sooner.

[msongs]

4. well if he is who people want to hear he will start showing up nt

[bearsfootball516]

6. I mean...apparently he's not

Or he would be showing up

[artislife]

9. That just makes me sad

I don't know how climate can be out of anyone's top priority list. But it has proven to be in reality.

This is why there is a part of me that sees no reason to be upset who will be voted in, the outcome for the planet will remain on its collision course. But I will vote and hope to be happily surprised.

36. Pete Buttigieg Made Climate Change One of His Central Issues

I attended his Presidential Announcement Event last Sunday. He spoke effectively about the need for critical action on climate change IMMEDIATELY.

I respect Inslee, but he's not the only candidate who's focused on global warming and climate change. As he said, we have to act NOW, because he, and his generation, will have to live with the consequences of the decisions being made today.

Please don't give up hope. We're all seriously concerned about this issue.

[artislife]

37. That's good to hear. nt

[True Dough]

2. Wow! Look at Mayor Pete up there at 17 per cent!

Super impressive! That gap between him and Beto is quite a gulf.

[bearsfootball516]

3. Lordy, Buttigieg is on fire

[WeekiWater]

5. Why would Stacey Abrams be included?

I thought it was understood that she isn’t running. Am I wrong in that assumption? She doesn’t seem to be campaigning like Biden is.

[Celerity]

12. she deffo has not ruled out running for POTUS at all

Stacey Abrams says 2020 presidential run is ‘on the table’

Stacey Abrams says she is “as capable” to be president in 2020 as others

[WeekiWater]

28. Interesting.

She is a great voice.

[Celerity]

29. the one mistake she may make is that she thinks she can wait until post Labor Day to jump in

That is reallllly risky IMHO.

The only candidate who could do that and win for sure is one who will probably never run (and the one who would just CRUSH Trump)

Michelle Obama (my first choice from the day after the 2016 election).

[WeekiWater]

30. I've never seen MO campaign consistently or for herself.

Not sure how she would do. I’ve never heard her mention running.

7. Online polls aren't really very reliable

Change Research surveyed 2,518 likely 2020 Democratic primary voters nationwide from April 12–15, 2019. The survey was conducted online, using Change Research’s Bias Correct Engine. Post-stratification was done on age, gender, ethnicity, and 2016 presidential vote. The margin of error, as traditionally calculated, is ± 2.2%.

[applegrove]

8. Yes. Saw that. But people who do online political polls vote more often

don't they?

[Indygram]

10. Online polls are unreliable

There is no way to verify that the person voting in an online poll is only voting once or even eligible to vote in US elections.

[Andy823]

11. Yeah that's why they aren't accurate

Online polls aren't worth even posting. You can vote more than once if you know what you are doing. I don't believe any of them, no matter who is on top.

[applegrove]

31. Oh I Didn't mean that. I meant that people inclined to answer an online poll are more likely to be

politically interested in actual elections. But yeah. I guess they could vote several times in an online poll. Ones I have voted in block you once you have voted. But you don't know.

[BlueFlorida]

15. There is nothing scientific about opt-it online polls. nt

[BlueFlorida]

20. Yes it is

They send emails to people from their database inviting them to take the poll. Major sampling error right at the outset.

[Indygram]

23. And we all know emails never get hacked

And no one ever has multiple email accounts or signs up for multiple accounts under other names in order to sign up for anything.

[BlueFlorida]

24. That is why I said

there is no such thing as a scientific online poll.

[Indygram]

27. Whoops...my reply attached to the wrong post

Sorry about that.

Not sure how that happened...

[Indygram]

22. Online polls are not scientific

EOM

[Celerity]

18. some are better than others,

Change Research is not top tier

some of the better ones

[BannonsLiver]

34. It's also an outlier.

[BlueFlorida]

14. This same poll showed Bernie leading just a few days ago

[BlueFlorida]

21. Sorry - that was California

Nevertheless, change research and "medium" are in the tank for Sanders and they will release manipulated data. I wouldn't believe either.

[Celerity]

32. Medium is is just an online publishing platform, not a single website. It has thousands of topics,

and no single editorial stance.

Medium is an online publishing platform developed by Evan Williams, and launched in August 2012. It is owned by A Medium Corporation. Wikipedia

25. Stacey Abrams

really shouldn't be included in presidential polls until she declares.

[Celerity]

33. they did polls with Biden and Abrams and without

National Poll Results: Biden, Sanders, and Buttigieg Lead, Majority Support “Medicare For All”

When asked to choose a candidate who has formally announced their run, eliminating Biden and Abrams from consideration, 26% of voters choose Sanders, followed by Buttigieg (21%), O’Rourke (14%), Harris and Warren (10%), Booker (5%), and Amy Klobuchar and Andrew Yang (3%). All other candidates poll at 2% or less.

[Mike Nelson]

26. Pete's got the mo...

Here's my personal ranking of those names:

1 Buttigieg
2 Harris
3 Klobuchar
4 O’Rourke
5 Abrams
6 Warren
7 Biden
8 Booker
9 Yang
10 Sanders
11 Gabbard

[Celerity]

35. sorta close to me

I added some not in there

so 25!!!


Buttigieg
Harris
Abrams
Warren
O’Rourke
Inslee
Booker
Swalwell
Julián Castro
Gillibrand



off my list (unless they win nomination)

Klobuchar
Steve Bullock
Michael Bennet
Tim Ryan
Hickenlooper (good in most ways but way too pro fracking)
Yang
Wayne Messam
Seth Moulton (announcement pending April 22, 2019)
Biden
John Delaney
Marianne Williamson
Michael Bloomberg
Sanders
Gabbard
Mike Gravel (too old, he would be 98 in 2028!!)

[Mike Nelson]

38. Nice list...

… I agree with "off the list" and am not likely to vote or support them in the primaries... but I will vote for the nominee. I believe both Obama and Hillary were more progressive than they ever let on... and the next President will continue to move in that direction. It's what the majority of Americans want!
