      This is exactly right. This all seems like a pointless debate not just because we haven't see signs that Beto will run but also that its shaping up to be a crowded field with many other good, serious candidates who are in fact preparing a run.https://twitter.com/JoshuaHol/status/1077749894604091394 …

      This is such a pointless kerfuffle. The Pod Save America dudes want Beto to run. Perhaps he will, but he hasn’t been sending obvious signals to that effect. Meanwhile, it’s the holiday and most people have no idea this is even a thing that’s happening. https://twitter.com/KateAronoff/status/1077016466015354882 …

      The whole Bernie-vs.-Beto frame assumes a replay of 2016 and does a disservice to the many credible candidates who aren't Bernie or Beto (to name a few, Warren, Gillibrand, Booker, Harris).

          It might be the case that a few Bernie supporters are criticizing Beto right now.But here's the thing: if Beto runs & continues to have a nebulous policy profile, that's the same objections Warren supporters and Gillibrand supporters will make.

          I already hate the 2020 primary season and it's not even 2019 yet. Send help.

          Most generals plan to refight the last war. And they are frequently are surprised when that doesn't work out that way. (See French generals in WWII.)

          Can’t you see how suicidal this sounds? What if one of them wins the primary? It could happen. You just talked yourself out of voting (protest votes not included).

          Everyone who is not team trump should take a deep breath. Imo the best tactic is to extoll the virtues of one’s favorite candidate (or potential candidate) and keep attacks on democrats to a minimum. The primary voters will do the rest with minimal circular firing squads.
