This is a huge stretch.With how often Obama is painted as an evil, neoliberal centrist you'd think Bernie wouldn't want to even imply he has Obama's support.
Except all of these guys agree on at least 80% of everything and are allies fighting for the same cause at the end of the day. Wouldn't know that from consuming a steady diet of Twitter takes.
Bernies out here likeexactly. dont listen to this obvious bullshit concern trolling. this is a dirty race. if they get dirty tactics we do too
If only he were as consequential.
i'm confused, i could have sworn that unless one specific person won the primary, it means that empathy is a lie and the human race is beyond savingExcept all of these guys agree on at least 80% of everything and are allies fighting for the same cause at the end of the day.
None of those candidates are running an insurgent campaign against the establishment tho.Anyone acting like this is something nefarious only Sanders is doing is lying to themselves.
And that makes it okay because... ?None of those candidates are running an insurgent campaign against the establishment tho.
Cause they don't look like hypocrites......?
He needs their votes. That's politics.None of those candidates are running an insurgent campaign against the establishment tho.
Probably a good idea to lead with instead of waiting till you got shellacked.
People getting on Bernie's case for this after Biden and Bloomberg have ran solely on Obama's coattails are showing their true colors.
Bloomberg's political legacy isn't built on distancing himself from Obama as much as possible. Same with Warren.So this is a bridge too far but the last month and a half of endless Bloomberg ads that all but looked like an Obama endorsement wasn't?

“This ad leaves out context. The 1st part, from 2016, deletes a line where Obama said he doesn't know Sanders as well as Clinton. The 2nd part is from 2006, not 2016, as the closing "Feel the Bern" snippet that is indeed from 2016 may suggest. https://t.co/mVrODfhk5b”twitter.com

ngl, I respect the hustle
He got plenty of flak for that too
all candidates do this, it's just funny coming from Bernie given his open disdain for Obama
And that makes it okay because... ?
If the problem is that the act is misleading it is exactly as misleading as their ads. If you're trying to pull a "people on the left criticize obama and yet sanders touts support" that's not an argument I find very interesting
Um am I misunderstanding how these primaries work? Isn't voting finished? Why do this...
Edit: Maybe I'm thinking voting is over in my state but other states it isn't yet?
Difference is that Biden has always embraced Obama, while Bernie has been on his Burn the establishment binge.People getting on Bernie's case for this after Biden and Bloomberg have ran solely on Obama's coattails are showing their true colors.
Everyone wants to ride on Obama's famous coat tails. What else is new.

I mean the problem is if Obama comes out and slaps this shit down. Bernie has left himself more open than a 24-hour WalMart on this, and there almost certainly will be a cost.This is shifty but it seems like the sort of thing that should get deployed after those Super Tuesday results. Bernie needs that boost.
He'd come off as super hypocritical since he stayed dead silent while Bloomberg was saturating the airwaves, internet and radio with similar ads. Blooms must have spent hundreds of millions trying to fool people nationwide into thinking he was endorsed by Obama. There was an actual article about this iirc.I mean the problem is if Obama comes out and slaps this shit down.

I'm full on the Biden train now.
I support Bernie at a policy level quite a bit more than Biden, but Bernie can't run an effective campaign to save his life. He's had years to get this right.
He'll probably still be the most recent Dem president in 20 years.I have a feeling were gonna talking about Obama for the next 20 years.
This. Obama gets blamed for having no mandate and not passing legislation... but if people showed up in 2010 and 2014 he would have actually been able to.People who get mad at Obama for "not doing enough", in my experience, often sat out the 2010 and 2014 midterms. They're the problem.
Also, Bernie is doing his legacy no favors.

Pls stop 😭He'll probably still be the most recent Dem president in 20 years.
