In response to "It's a race between her and Booker for most under-whelming performance imo." by Will Hunting

Why do you suppose it is that Booker isn't getting more traction? I'm wondering...

Posted by The Powerful, The Pleasurable, The Indestructible (aka Jim) Jul 11 '19, 07:40

is it because he's a bald black man who sometimes gets passionate and raises his voice?

Which will scare the absolute shit out of most (if not all) racists in this country?

I don't think it's color by itself as Obama did well and Kamala's doing well. But I think it's because he's not as calm and measured as Obama was.

In fact - he still reminds me of Luther, Obama's anger translator.

OR - is he just not hitting the right message?

Just wondering what other rational folks think.

Maybe he should start calling himself 5-Time Booker -- nm - Strongbad Jul 11, 08:16
I don't think he's hit upon any issue that he's better than everyone else on. His passionate moments seem unauthentic and staged - Will Hunting Jul 11, 07:52 5
- The unauthentic part is the one that sticks with me. Ever since he was Mayor of Newark. Seemed like a schtick. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Jul 11, 08:18
- very nicely summarized -- nm - decline Jul 11, 08:15
- Interesting. -- nm - The Powerful, The Pleasurable, The Indestructible Jul 11, 08:08
- He's this close to saying "Message: I care" -- nm - Baronfiki Jul 11, 08:01 1
  - and the fucker stole that from me! -- nm - Luke Skywalker Jul 11, 08:33
It's a large field and tough to break out in. You need to find your niche I think. I can't really think of anything specific he's done to make himself - ty97 Jul 11, 07:51
