Do we want a Kamikaze or a Kumbaya nominee ?

[Funtatlaguy]

Our candidates are going to mostly line up pretty much the same on policy.
Style will make the difference
Do we want a street fighter that will overturn Trumps legacy quickly or an incrementalist that will try to work with and compromise with the GOP.

The fighters are:
Bernie
Warren
Mayor Pete
Harris
Gillibrand
Yang
Gravel
Inslee

The conciliatory are:
Biden
Klobuchar
Beto
Booker
Stalwell
Hickenlooper
Gabbard
Ryan
Castro

Neither style is better or worse. I’ve used both in business and personal matters. It’s kind of a carrot or stick approach. So please don’t think I’m denigrating any of our candidates. I like them all.

[JI7]

1. MICHAEL AVENATTI

[Hekate]

6. The guy who's about to do time for ripping off his clients and extorting Nike? Sorry, no.

Poor Stormy -- she deserves better. And so does the country.

[JI7]

10. yeah , but tough guy armchair warriors want their version on trump

to cheer on while attacking Democrats.

[Hekate]

11. Ain't that the sad truth. nt

[salin]

27. lol!

I needed a laugh tonight. Thanks.

[still_one]

2. Are you intentionally trying to incite a flamebait OP?

[Funtatlaguy]

8. Not at all. Just different styles...

Neither is right or wrong.

[still_one]

13. YOUR Value Judgement characterizations of the candidates says something else

[elleng]

3. A WINNER,

and forget the list/labels.

[JI7]

4. what stupid bs

[Hekate]

5. You do know that Kamikaze pilots had a 100% death rate from deliberately crashing into warships?

[Uncle Joe]

7. How do you come up with a fighter being a Kamikaze?

Winston Churchill was a fighter and Neville Chamberlain was conciliatory.


Thanks for the thread Funtatlaguy

[betsuni]

9. I certainly do not want someone on a suicide mission.

[Funtatlaguy]

12. Was just going for alliteration

[betsuni]

14. It's just that I was picturing a plane smashing into a ship vs people singing around a campfire.

A little too dramatic. A samurai warrior vs people singing around a campfire would be better.

[UniteFightBack]

25. You would think that folks would just know what you meant by that and not pick apart

every god damn word and take it so literally. UGH.

[kag]

15. False choice.

Makes it waaaaaaay too simplistic. And your lists are quite flawed.

[JI7]

16. Obama who won both elections was accused of being Kumbayah by a certain shitty crowd

[Indygram]

17. I for one have had enough of the divisive attacking that we've had to deal with for so long

This crap is harming my health. I want a calm, rational voice to unite the country. I want HOPE, a positive vision and someone who doesn't waste their time attacking an idiot but uses that time wisely to stand FOR something. That's the only way to heal the country.

[Fiendish Thingy]

18. Quite a mangled metaphor, but I like your list. Nt

[Blue_true]

19. I want someone.

Who espouses achievable policies, speaks clearly and stand their ground.

[aidbo]

20. If you wanted to alliterate, should have been "Pugilist vs. pragmatist"

[Funtatlaguy]

21. I like that

[Codeine]

22. Mr Kamikaze! Mr DNA!

He’s an altruistic pervert!
Here to spread some genes!

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

23. "Kamikaze" is not a very good term for what I think you intend.

Remember, the kamikazes were suicide pilots; they destroyed or damaged their targets but killed themselves in the process. Maybe that's not such a good idea for a political candidate.

[UniteFightBack]

24. BOTH...and BIDEN fits that bill. nt

[peggysue2]

36. Agreed!

We need someone who can fight like hell when necessary as well as someone who can find common ground when possible.

Joe Biden fits that bill.

[democratisphere]

26. There is only one person that can garner the greatest number of votes

to defeat the corrupt rethugs. Joe Biden.

[shanny]

32. lol

[Gore1FL]

28. Ah yes, because it's a one issue binary between ritualistic suicide and a woeful call for help. nt

[murielm99]

29. I don't accept your list.

[artislife]

30. Fighter

And I think your list is pretty spot on.

[Funtatlaguy]

34. Thanks, if I would have instead said Pugilist or Pragmatist

As someone here suggested, it might have been better received.
For those who disagree with the list, I’d like to see what changes they would make.
Mine was Just one persons opinion, of course.

[shanny]

31. False choice imo. Warrior or

Why-can't-we-be-friends?

Warrior.

[MyNameGoesHere]

33. I would love to believe

In arbitrary list categorizing candidates, but out of wisdom I will pass.

[dalton99a]

35. We want someone that can defeat the KKK nominee.

[BlueFlorida]

37. Biden is not conciliatory and Bernie is not a fighter nt

[ecstatic]

38. Your classifications aren't accurate. I'm pretty sure all of them

understand that we want trump's bullshit overturned on day 1. Period.

[comradebillyboy]

39. We have more than the two choices set out in your false dichotomy.
