 So I'll admit that I do to a degree enjoy the horse race aspect of the Democratic Party primary process But I do think this question of who is the worst Democrat running it is something that we should consider because we only have a finite amount of Resources and time and we have to make sure that we defeat the worst of the worst So at the beginning of the primary process I pretty much declared Joe Biden to be the worst because I mean There's a lot of reasons as to why he really is the worst But as time has kind of gone on I've realized that people to judge is also Really bad because not only is he being propped up by the media But the things that he says about Medicare for all they're actually landing like he I think single-handedly to an extent Is driving down support for Medicare for all because since he's been attacking Medicare for all Well, Medicare for all has gone down in the polls and a public option has increased in terms of public support for it So these are people who we need to target if they are the worst because we have to make sure That the primary is as left as it can possibly be and there's a lot of Santrists that I love in this race, but really when it comes down to who's the worst There's two options Joe Biden and Pete would a judge and I've gone back and forth And ultimately I think I've probably landed permanently on Joe Biden But I outsourced this thinking to my patreon patrons because I wanted to know what you guys thought About who's the worst and I asked and you guys answered in large numbers So by a total of 48 votes patrons of the humanist report believe that Joe Biden is the worst of all the 2020 Democrats and in second But a strong second is people to judge with 22 votes Amy Klobuchar comes in third with 12 votes And then John Delaney in fourth with seven votes Kamala Harris in fifth with five votes So you kind of see all of the Santrists, you know unsurprisingly Being targeted by the humanist reports audience as the worst of the 2020 race now We have Cory Booker with one vote Bernie Sanders with zero votes unsurprisingly Tulsi Gabbard with two votes Andrew Yang with four votes Beto O'Rourke who has since dropped out with three votes Elizabeth Warren with two votes Julian Castro with zero votes billionaire Tom Steyer with two votes Marianne Williamson with one vote and Michael Bennett with zero votes not necessarily because he's not a goon But I think because he's such a non-antity like he said something the other day that proves how Unserious he is so he said rather than looking at free college. What I'm really looking at is free preschool now Obviously, we should do both. That's the obvious answer. Why can't we have both? But I mean preschoolers can't vote So if you want to win an election well political expediency dictates that you should go after people who will be casting votes There's lots of college age people who will be voting To say that you don't care about them and you care more about preschoolers when preschoolers don't have debt I mean, it's a little tone deaf, right? But nonetheless, I agree with basically the top five here This makes a lot of sense But ultimately it seems like people are relatively conflicted between Joe Biden and Pete Buttigieg But the comments kind of shed light on some of the patrons thinking here So Mari Isabel says Pete is pretty horrendous, but I'm going with Biden It was a more obvious wrong choice for this country I believe that either candidate would lose in a general election But Biden with his mental decline and backwards attitudes couldn't be further from representing who we are as a country Marxist curve baller with a fantastic point here says mayor Pete get ready America because every four years The mainstream media will be trying to ram this guy down our throats as a serious candidate Who represents democratic values and has brought appeal in Midwestern states Seeing him explain the reasons why a public option would be financially disastrous Only to then come out a few months later with the exact opposite talking points on Medicare for all was Disturbing to say the least in all honesty. I think the South Bend Police Department scandal will be his unraveling However, he'll still end up on MSNBC or CNN as an overpaid corporate shill spouting off nonsensical talking points about the Munichie or his emphasis on Undefinable values side note Buddha judge is the worst candidate of 2019 and Munichie is the worst word of 2019 Thanks for everything Pete Hunter Louise Jelf says Amy Klobuchar smugness makes John Delaney blush At least she has the momentum from Bill Mars endorsement 1.8 percent. Whoo K Smith says Biden is the worst at the moment. He should retire from public life Tom Steyer is also awful He used dirty tricks to develop his email list then bought his way into the race and onto the debate stage His only idea is we must be Trump. We never need another billionaire president. Are you listening Michael Bloomberg? Borden says Beto was my pick the ratio of hype to substance is so wildly off There's no table tall enough for him to stand on to reach the presidency Christian LaSalle says it was a tough decision between Cloud Butcher and Mayor Pete But I went with Pete since he is probably the most effective in arguing against medicare for all His constant unchallenged lies about medicare for all make him especially dangerous And if by some insane twist of fate, he actually wins the nomination. He would get destroyed by trump in the general Yeah, so these are all really fantastic points And Christian LaSalle is actually the person who brought the slate article to my attention That demonstrates how support for medicare for all has declined while support for a public option has increased and that's largely due to Uh the lying of Pete Buddha judge So, you know, there's no question Pete Buddha judge and Joe Biden polling wise. They're the biggest threats It's still Joe Biden who sits at the top of the field But they're still both very nefarious and they both must be defeated So I think that you know, I'm going to declare this for the most part a draw Um, no, I can't declare to draw actually because Joe Biden got the most votes So Joe Biden is the worst of the worst But I still think that Pete Buddha judge is someone who we have to look out for him Because even though he's not doing too well polling like I think he's sitting at 7% on average The media is really trying to prop him up like they just ran a segment on CNN Where they basically likened him to Obama and He's basically the second coming of Obama is what I took away from that segment It's just embarrassing like this is a manufactured candidate Who wouldn't have a leg to stand on if he wasn't being propped up entirely by the media? Which is so frustrating because it demonstrates how powerful the media is they can pick and choose winners and losers It's why you know, I display This book because um, it's true. They manufacture consent. They are more, you know subservient to power than um State-run governments and authoritarian regimes, but that is like I'm getting on a tangent Joe Biden's the worst. That's the takeaway. Um, yeah Let me know your comments down below if you're not a participant in this poll Who you believe is the worst and also I'd like some more poll ideas because I do want to continue with this trend Um, I think that it's it's fun and uh, I want to bring this back I think that more interactivity with the audience Is not just fun, but it's it's better It makes for a better podcast if I'm getting the input of people Who watch it and support us the most so I'll leave that there Mike is the worst progressive on youtube. Please don't subscribe to him or become a patron David Dole is so much better. Trust me folks. He's doing a great job. He really is. Okay
