Here's an unusually long John Fugelsang post about our candidates. It's well worth the read, IMHO

[Siwsan]

1. Elizabeth Warren​ is the George Harrison of the 2020 field.

2. Biden is Paul, popular hitmaker against whom critiques are levied, but when he's onstage he generally nails it. Also, he'd like you to know that he's edgier than you think.

And I get why you hate Wonderful Christmastime; but do remember it's extremely popular & less harmful than Trump.

3. Bernie is John, radical iconoclast revolutionary w/brains, heart & imperfections; who is called both a fool and a communist; but is actually way more mainstream than you think.

4. There are some Ringos in this field.
And that's ok, bc Ringo is awesome.
And after 2020 ends they will all have very long solo careers.

5. Kamala Harris​ is Clapton, who shows up, shreds it, raises everybody's game in the studio and could easily run this thing.

6. Obama is George Martin, in that he'll probably get a final say

There is no Yoko, bc Yoko doesn't show up til the end

I'm not telling you who's Pete Best.

7. Corey Booker is sort of the whole band in that he’s much better live than he gets credit for. And he reminds you that the Newark Mayor’s office was his Hamburg.

8. Roy Cohn, Bannon, Manafort & Kellyanne are collectively an evil zombie Brian Epstein.

9. Mayor Pete is Billy Preston. Everyone's saying "don't know how you got here but please join the band."

10.. By the 3rd debate at least 1/5 of the field will be Stu Sutcliffe & leave before things even get going. No need to worry about the absurdly large field but get to know their solo careers.

11.. At some point in the past, every solo Beatle and every 2020 Democrat has done something I’ve really disagreed with. Joe Biden’s about to be vetted for every one of his “Give My Regards To Broad Street” moments.

12. I'm almost done & there is a point to this.

Because while I look forward to making fun of the 2020 Dem debates I don’t plan on hating any of the candidates, because that’s what Trump wants.

Because hate between center and left factions is Donald Trump’s best hope.

13. Trump thinks he’s The Stones.

But he's actually just a shitty thieving promoter who rips off the Stones, because he plays their songs at his events without their permission.

Their lawyers keep asking DT to stop, but DT’s never been a big fan of getting consent.

14. Please remember if this field was cut in half tomorrow it would still be the most diverse presidential field for a political party in US history.

15. In this election I won’t mind if I'm forced to vote for my 23rd choice.

And whatever your 23rd favorite Beatles song is, it’s better than whatever Ted Nugent would play at DT’s 2nd inaugural.

16. I acknowledge that this has been the Revolution No. 9 of insufferable analogies.

Thanks.

2. I just hope that if all the candidates appear on stage at the same time

it doesn't resemble the Sgt. Pepper album cover.

3. coming back to read this later.

4. Bernie is NOT John.

[Siwsan]

5. You will have to take that up with Mr. Fugelsang

[yardwork]

11. I understand, but it's a surprisingly inapt comparison.

John Lennon spoke out strongly against the kind of "glorious revolution" rhetoric that Bernie has made his platform.

[Kahuna7]

7. He's more Pete Best. nt

[yardwork]

12. I don't think that Bernie is even Beatles adjacent.

The comparison simply doesn't work.

I thought Fugelsang's comparison of Biden to Paul was pretty funny.

[Kahuna7]

15. You have a legitimate point. nt

[Cha]

16. Thank you, yardwork!

6. That was really good. I follow John but hadn't seen it.

He’s the best religious commentator out there.

[Siwsan]

8. He posted it on Facebook

And I agree - John really knows his stuff and isn't afraid of confrontation.

[Stargleamer]

9. I think Trump is more like the Chief Blue Meanie

who also dabbles in thieving promotion, fraud, election-stealing, etc.

MAGAts, are, of, course Blue Meanies. Their Blue Meanspiritness, is, of course, legendary.

17. He posted it on Facebook

14. Trump is the "Under assistant west coast promotion man"
