Rep. Dean Phillips (D-Minn.) says he will host 119 town halls in his long-shot primary challenge against President Biden. If the reception at his first is any indication of the next potential 118, the nascent campaign faces an even steeper uphill battle for the nomination than expected as a little-known congressman challenging an incumbent president. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/11/02/dean-phillips-town-hall-new-hampshire/ --- Please don't be weird in my topics ...

I think the problem is a lot of people wanted a progressive alternative to Biden but all the progressives chickened out of primarying him. Only moderates are bothering, but there isn't much of an audience for them since Biden is also moderate, just less so. So now we see Phillips getting badgered by the people wondering why the only dude primarying Biden is even worse than him.

I'm not saying that went well, but that sounds like a very difficult challenge to kick off any sort of campaign. I'm not sure any politician vying for the democratic party ticket would have handled that well.

support a cease-fire in the Israel-Gaza war. Is there a specific thing people generally mean by that? As in telling Israel to do a ceasefire? Supporting one of Hamas and Israel wanted one? --- http://avatar.xboxlive.com/avatar/emblem%20boy/avatar-body.png haters gonna hate ... Copied to Clipboard!

Another woman sounded as if she might cry when she asked how killing Palestinians is making what happened to Israelis better and if there were no other solutions to the conflict. Phillips again responded with a query, asking the two questioners for their ideas on how to fix the situation.Phillips, bro. You're the one campaigning for President here. The solutions should be coming out of your mouth. Not that it needs to be said but this dude's campaign is dead in the water. --- How can the moon landing be real if the moon isn't real? ...

So does this guy just suck? Yeah, but maybe he'll do something useful if this Israel stuff just absolutely causes him so much embarrassment he has to slink out of politics. That might be a wakeup call for some other Democratic "moderates" who put Israel above the US. --- Disobedience is the stamp of the hero. -Ragnar Redbeard Also, this is Kagata.. ...

Why is no one asking me about my stated position on Israeli children and only asking about my ambiguous stance on Palestinian children? What a dick. Theres no way anyone is going to say this is better than Biden. Biden at least called for a cease fire, a humanitarian pause, which is the lowest of bars to clear. --- "Something's wrong!

I'm not sure what the point of primarying him is.. if you're just going to be a clone of him?
But the question of a cease-fire continued to haunt Phillips HA! Man, these politicians are like automatons. --- http://www.youtube.com/user/san3711 ... Copied to Clipboard!

At the Rex Theatre, Phillipss crowd was small and appeared to be largely made up of staff members, family and friends. The atmospherics were atypical a loud live musical performance featuring his singing wife kicked off the event, followed by three separate introductory videos one of which included bizarre commentary on his old haircut Were they responsible for the "screaming and profanity" or were they the ones who "walked out"? --- Putin delenda est ...

A legit call for a ceasefire is condemning the conflict outright. It's shitty to take sides between two groups that seek ethnic cleaning. --- Swimming over the barrier to protect my egg. ...

Yeah. I'd sure like to know what these "extreme views" of the Democratic Party are. Wanting background checks for buying guns? Women's bodily autonomy?
