Notice they never say this about the GOP. It's always about things being hotly contested and fireworks at debates. Nothing about the party destroying itself.

CNN: Bernie Sanders told Elizabeth Warren in private 2018 meeting that a woman can't win, Bernie denies(Update: NYT & Buzzfeed Confirming)

I'd be elated for either one of them to be the nominee so it really sucks to see the media try to put them at each other's throats like this.
Yes, the point I'm making is asking "why" something doesn't interest a person is silly and the reason is usually "because it doesn't".
Warren and her campaign sure are taking awhile at calculating the best move here. They need to be quicker on their feet.
Not saying anything is literally the point.
That's the calculation, no comment and let Sanders deal with it.
America has been a neoliberal hellscape for the entire time he's been in office, what legislation that actually aligns with his structural critiques of America was he gonna get passed? He wasn't a Cursus Honorum climber, he was a minor Senator using his platform and institutional legitimacy to signal-boost Leftism on a national stage who basically walked, Mr. Magoo-style, into being the face of a nascent political movement by running what was only expected to be a symbolic primary campaign in 2016. The idea that his Presidency would be hampered by the fact that he's not a Michael Jordan of backroom handshakes, rather than the innumerable structural barriers to his ideology, is ludicrous.
Neera Tanden is also a dyed in the wool Clintonite so it's not shocking that she's using any excuse to attack Bernie.
Sad, isnt it? Only 3 bills that were genuinely good for america were passed in the last 25 years. Thanks Dems.
NYT confirms reporting that a cheese plate was sent to him by the Bernie campaign.
Well shit I guess Dodd-Frank doesn't exist... or ACA.
She said libya was a great collapse because of the business opportunities for the oil. Open. air. slave. markets.
I'm sorry, who are we actually arguing with again?
Dodd-Frank was defanged into obsolescence by legislature, and the ACA was dismantled into something worse than being uninsured. Both were failures, borne of compromise and incrementalism.
This could be very damaging for Sanders. Given that his platform and support base is based entirely around erasing anything but the coarsest notion of economic disadvantage, the revelation that he considers America in 2020 to be deeply sexist and that Trump's support is in part due to his weaponisation of that sexism could be a significant own goal.
Once bernie rose to the top of the polls and the voting coming closer, all bets are off unfortunately
Is this the part where people erase literally all the minorities and women supporting Sanders to say they are all white men racists/sexists again..
because i frankly am tired of being erased by centrists who dont give a crap about intersectionalism and just want to continue the status quo under a rainbow banner
I really hope people aren't taking Neera Tanden seriously anymore.
Lol. "Lie". Folks need to get a grip. Anyone with nuance who read the OP isn't claiming that Bernie is a virulent misogynist. Just that after 2016 that he doesn't believe that the middle of the country would vote en masse for a woman due entrenched sexism. Bernie frank talk has a track record of him putting his foot in his mouth ( see 2016 dealing with black voters). It also doesn't hurt that this is likely Bernies last shot to run for president so he'd want the party to move away from "identity politics" and back the old white dude with policies.
And yes, even in 1987 small town mayors like puff pieces.
Bernie literally has the most diverse coalition out of every single Democratic candidate.
I was wondering when and how the fighting would start. Whelp, now we know.
OP
OP
She almost certainly will give a non answer. Probably acknowledge the claims but say that she wants to focus on policy issues that effect real American's.
No it's the part where I satirise them by pointing out how completely contradictory those two lines of attack are. Apologies, I do try to be obvious but sometimes it's hard
Dodd-Frank was born of compromise?
You're literally damning bills because GOP control attacked them over time. I'm not even going to say "you know that right" because you're obviously doing that and in no way of good faith lol
What's the point of this tweet?
I don't understand communist humor sometimes, this doesn't make any sense as a joke.
Well, it's just a bit odd to see someone who posts in a lot of political threads dismissing an entire field of political philosophy as uninteresting
The Tweeter is a communist trying to make a joke.
I just don't understand the joke at all, it makes no sense and is extremely unfunny.
How do you gather that he's a communist from this tweet?
I found it pretty funny.
Really don't think Law Boy is a communist but keep going.
It take the accusation against Bernie and takes it to the absurdist extreme.
