WaPo did an analysis of what Democratic presidential hopes are talking about on the Interweb and came up with this. Green highlights climate change as topic.

For the Washington Post, Kevin Schaul and Kevin Uhrmacher parsed the social media of Democrats:


A Washington Post analysis of more than 5,600 social media posts from March found significant differences in the issues that each candidate emphasized. While most candidates discussed social justice and health care, only a few talked much about foreign policy or immigration. No candidate made gun control a first or second priority in their social media strategy during the month.

I guess to the leftists Social Justice, Health Care, Immigration and Corporate Power doesn't get a color of the rainbow, huh?


WAPO has to keep that reminder going about the New Green Deal that got sacked in the Senate, eh? Use that visual perception, Right? :laugh:

Buttigieg is the candidate who is starting to generate some unexpected support. Still, his biggest handicap is name recognition.

Inslee has no chance. Single issue candidates don't last long. He'll drop out soon. That's a good thing for the Democrats. He's an idiot.

Yes, that was an unforced error. Pence responded with class.

Some have said he did that in hopes that he can secure the VP spot and go after Pence on that issue in a debate. That would be a mistake.
