    "say what you will about buttigieg but at least the latest narcissistic product of The Best Schools™ to rule Macron-style over a decaying country mired in poverty and addiction will speak Norwegian. it'll be cool"

    "if you want a vision of the future under Cory Booker, imagine a boot stamping on a human face - forever. and every once in a while it stops for an inspirational lecture on how we should never stop dreaming"

    "Kamala Harris has the policing ability of Chief Wiggum and the political courage of Mayor Quimby. Don't let her act like she has the virtue of Ned Flanders"

      Editing … Yeah, he's great. I donated a couple dollars to his campaign. I don't expect or even necessarily want him to go far, but I do want him speaking in the first few debates.

      Editing … And if he's to be believed he doesn't want to go far either, but he's gotta get to the debates! His platform lines up so close to my ideals, including a move to the Norwegian prison system, a pardonning of journalists and whistleblowers, and dismantling US spying programs. Pulling out of every war? My man.

      Editing … Did you hear about Tulsi just qualifying for the debates? Hoping to see more candidates on that stage pushing the conversation left.

      Editing … Is it her support of the war on terror? Which as we all know, is pretty effective at radicalizing terrorists.

      Editing … Her view on war in the Middle East seems to generally be to stop terrorists at any costs in a way that can at times come off as Islamophobic and pro-authoritarian. She's supported Assad more often than most under the seeming belief that his tyranny is acceptable in the face of fighting ISIS. She opposed the Iran Nuclear Deal until she couldn't anymore and her support since then has been lukewarm. She's waffled on the matter of torture, at times condemning it while also being unwilling to discount it entirely. She's cozied up to Narendra Modi, India's dangerous quasi-fascist Hindu nationalist prime minister, once again largely in an anti-terror and to an extent anti-Muslim context against Pakistan. She's been too friendly with the Israeli right and with Egypt's current dictator al-Sisi for the same reason. She's against regime change against Maduro (and in general, e.g. Assad), which is on the whole a good thing- regime change doesn't work (here's a good article explaining why http://bostonreview.net/downes-regime-change)- but it seems to not come from the right frame of mind. She genuinely seems to support dictators and authoritarians. So while she may be an economic progressive, her foreign policy views are very much not, even courting the right at times.

      Editing … If you want a candidate that's broadly left-wing but younger than Sanders and Warren, Yang seems to be the best choice in my opinion. Buttigeig could end up being in that group too depending on how things go.

      Editing … I've only ever seen her be anti-Assad, that seems to be a topic no one can nail her on during interviews. Her anti-regime change views seem to be what's driven that popular opinion of her.
