HE BURNED $47.5 MILLION OF HIS OWN MONEY TO GET IN THE DEBATES
She really needs to get a better answer.Warren is on the cnn panel thing and everyone is basically asking about Medicare for all taxes.
I kind of want to see the "Pete wins Iowa: Chaos reigns" scenario now. This shit show primary deserves it.
This is exactly what I think as well. She avoids the radical socialist endorsement talking point for the general election.
Agreed.I care far too much about winning the General Election and subsequently making the needed reforms to be able to more effectively recover from the Trump era to ever want to see this scenario happen.
The man is so privileged he doesn't understand how disgusting that is to regular voters.HE BURNED $47.5 MILLION OF HIS OWN MONEY TO GET IN THE DEBATES
Honestly? I don't think it does anything whatsoever. The only person's politics I considered when I thought about AOC (not) endorsing was AOC's.AOC endorsing Bernie is good politics for everyone involved. How does nobody see that? Warren can hold the actual left while avoiding the squad discussion, AOC won't hurt Warren with her endorsement, and Bernie gets a lifeline and can transfer the goodwill when it's time.
She's playing a more inside game than the rest of the squad, she's from Mass, she's not a member of the DSA like Rashida or AOC are, she might want Warren's Senate seat should she become president.Hope we get to hear beltway gossip about why Ayanna chose to sit this Squad event out.
She's from Mass and would prob like Warrens vacant seat if she ends up winning is my guessHope we get to hear beltway gossip about why Ayanna chose to sit this Squad event out.
I don't understand the idea that Warren has anything to worry about from Buttigieg. To me, that's yet another "PoC voters. They exist???" take.
For all the shit I give Warren and her strategy to win Black voters, she has an infintely better chance than Buttigieg does. For all of Buttigieg's meager gains, he's still dead man walking to black voters. Until that changes, Warren is not threatened by him. At all.
This is offensive at this point.
Isn't it proportional? So if Warren comes in second in Iowa, she's still fine for NH amd NV?This is the correct take
Pete winning Iowa fucks Warren big time. I think it doesn't even help Pete though; him winning Iowa would be like Huckabee winning Iowa in 08. Warren won't gain the confidence boost she desperately needs.
But ...
She really needs to get a better answer.
we all know what she means, but do reg voters ?
Exactly.I know people here and in the official thread dumped on Harris for her Twitter side quest.
I do think she dug in a little too much toward the end trying to get a commitment from Warren, but I agree overall with what Harris was saying. Previously, the only other time a President could speak directly to the American people without taking questions was during a national TV address where they had to request time from the major networks. Otherwise a President would have to take questions either in an interview or press conference, so there was some accountability and it restricted a President's ability to spread propaganda and taunts unfiltered. Allowing Trump to regularly violate Twitter's rules isn't "newsworthy". It's facilitating unchecked power and propaganda. It's not a trivial issue even though people are dismissing Harris as snipping over a non-issue.
I think it's just one of those things that sound better when they come from a frontrunner's mouth. When you're a second tier candidate, you'll get accused as being a try-hard even though it's a valid issue.

Hmmm, maybe.What? No we aren't saying Pete is an actual threat to actually win. That's the point
But he could win Iowa because Iowa is weird and he's demographically suited to that state more than elsewhere
The argument is that Warren not winning Iowa and then possibly New Hampshire; or only winning by a slim margin, significantly hurts her ability to go into South Carolina and win, or even eat into Biden's lead at all.
Warren does have far more ability to sway black voters in the south than Pete does; but Pete taking away enough of Warrens white voters in early states hurts her argument going south
Yea, I really don't understand the speculation/fear about Pete winning Iowa. Pretty much every poll has showed him in 4th or 3rd there and rarely being above or near 15%
Honestly, just lie. lol Just say no. M4A isn't happening anyway, so it's not like it matters. (That's not a "we can't do good things" but you literally have multiple senators who ran for president who are opposed to it, so ....) Just lie and say you won't raise taxes on the middle class. And then don't specify what middle class is. And then just circle back to your "costs will go down."The Warren healthcare thing has always struck me as she is abundantly aware it''s a fox news video clip waiting to happen. "YES, YOUR TAXES WILL GO UP", the end. dooooooooooooooooom
It just comes off to the rest of us as obvious. There has to be a better way to answer that.
I mean I still think she's great and is the future of the party. This is a misfire but I'm not mad at it. Although it's funny how obsessed you seem to be though. It's cute.That was my point. An AOC endorsement is huge either way. It wouldnt be any more or less for any candidate.
But she was always going to endorse Sanders because it just makes sense.

let me tell you about this truck driver i metHottest new question to the candidates: "Do you want Republican votes?"
Or just give up the ghost and pivot to sensible reforms that improve the wellbeing and financial security of millions that can actually pass Congress and become law.Honestly, just lie. lol Just say no.

i imagine they're just parroting CNN on thatDamn, the twitterverse seems to believe Klobber and Booty won the night. I'll have what their having.
I have it on very good authority that Marianne Williamson and Tulsi Gabbard won the second debates. Social media told me.Damn, the twitterverse seems to believe Klobber and Booty won the night. I'll have what their having. I guess Klobber getting 3rd most time, plus her appearance on Maher, plus post debate time really is a last minute push. Hope it isn't enough for her to qualify for the next debate.

Speaking of Gabbard, she might have done better to have boycotted this debate. No way she gets any support after tonight's performance right?I have it on very good authority that Marianne Williamson and Tulsi Gabbard won the second debates. Social media told me.
She's from Mass and would prob like Warrens vacant seat if she ends up winning is my guess
she might go from 2 to 3 percentLet's see what the polls say before we decisively say that Amy Klobuchar won anything lol
I feel like her winning gets brought up every single time we have a debate and then nothing happens lol but we'll see I guess
I'm still infuriated about the $47 million Steyer lit on fire. Ugh!
Ya, but we can't do that cause it don't give folks the tingles. It's maddening when it's pretty clear that M4A isn't happening. It's just not. The other options have a far better chance, but let's keep chasing that Green Dream or Whatever.Or just give up the ghost and pivot to sensible reforms that improve the wellbeing and financial security of millions that can actually pass Congress and become law.
So much effort spent chasing the M4A unicorn this campaign. All this energy to advance a losing message.
