Amy Klobuchar 2020 campaign megathread

[Sestak]

People who bully and antagonize their staff are not leadership material IMHO.

100% this - her supporters should be ashamed of themselves. Have no moral credibility to attack Trump.

Yes because this woman who yelled at some people is just as bad as the guy who has at least 19 accusations of sexual harassment, assault, and/or rape, and has bragged about doing as such on tape.

Klobuchar's exceptionally tough to work for, and that's not great. While it's not great, it's nowhere near equivalent to Trump's misconduct, some of which may be literally criminal.

We should not be using Donald Trump as our minimum standard.

lol.. the people who are unironically complaining about her having this outside.

Personally I would've loved it if someone complained loudly while she was talking and she just picked up a snowball and whipped it at their face and called them a whining sack of dirty baby diapers.

[Koharu]

I think she'll be my candidate. She's level-headed, experienced, and no BS. We need this now more than ever.

Let's make it happen, folks.

Yep. She's the right person to take on Trump. She's not perfect, she's not my dream candidate, but she can win against Trump and move things in the right direction. That's the important stuff.

People bully others due to insecurity and/or arrogance, these are not qualities that any leader let alone the President of the United States needs.

I still find it odd that Klobuchar of all people has a controversy like this. She seems like such a nice, benign, Midwestern person.

She does have that "can I speak to the manager" haircut

Treating your staff like garbage and getting off without proper criticism because you present as a nice lil ole Midwestern lady who couldn't hurt nobody<3

No one should be using her haircut—jokingly, “cleverly,” or however—to debunk that perception. It’s not funny, contributes to the conversation degenerating into vague “I-just-have-a-feeling” sexist accusations, and needs to stop. I’m not sorry.

I definitely think there's a lot more substance to it than "I just have a feeling."

She can be joked about, especially if she plans on painting herself as the alternative to the biggest bully to ever serve as President of the United States. There are real questions about her character, and she deserves to be scrutinized for that. A joke is not scrutiny.

In other words, you're taking a joke too seriously and being far too cavalier about serious allegations.

[Shadows]

Welp, I'm in love, changing my signature in support of her candidacy. She has the charisma, very strong electability and midwestern charm, plus it seems she would be the candidate I would agree on most issues. The snow was just too populist for the beach snobs here it seems.

She is a neoliberal so-called centrist who opposes Universal healthcare (hasn't supported any form of it forget Medicare for all), Free College or most progressive measures. Her goal is to work with Republicans. Ideologically she is near Joe Biden than a Kamala Harris, forget Elizabeth Warren.

She is a charming lady & talented & all but she is not @ ideologically in tune with the Dem base

Ah yes.  When someone criticizes dear Kirsten, it's "creepy"... but Amy deserves to be "scrutinized"

As someone who works retail, I can confirm it’s true.

Klobuchar to visit Eau Claire, WI tomorrow. She is already visiting WI more than Hillary did than the entire 2016 GE cycle.

Popping back in after a few days to say Snowguy's crusade to individually reply to all of my posts in this thread, along with several other posts of mine in other threads, might be one of the funniest things I've ever seen. Not sure if he was just having a bad day or if he's got a thing for me or something, but it's kind of sad. Keep your head up, fella. No hard feelings.

Her campaign is making me really sad. Demographically, she’d be a great match for Sanders, Biden, Beto, Booker, or Buttigieg, but between this and the staffing issues, her campaign is really falling flat.

[Arturo Belano]

LMAO. Did she unironically think that anybody cares about Michele Bachmann in the year of our Lord 2019?
