The red scare will definitely step up next few months. I wouldn't mock Virginia,,,her and her fellow resistance@! ilk seem to have sway across the media.

Also the Shapiro "endorsement"...he mocked an incredibly dumb take of hers but supposedly fine with Sanders. Anyone who follows him will know a huge chunk of his tweets are slagging of Bernie, AOC etc. He'd be disgusted to be accused of having pro Bernie feelings.

Also absurd when you consider how popular the likes of Rick Wilson, Kristol, Boot, Rubin etc are with her sort of crowd who have been awful much longer than Ben.

duplicate.

It's similar to the Gabbard smear. Reduced foreign role = allows Putin to win.

Oh Christ.

Yeah clearly a sizable pro Clinton base in the media who fixated on Vlad after there queen lost, so its going to be tough for Bernie to fight this off. Unsurprisingly they lean towards Warren for 2020.

[Urinal Cake]

Sanders was never going to get Clinton's blessing/endorsement easily so why would her proxies do so? Also her appeal is narrow.
The big one is Obama, a lot of people Democrats still like him.

Heffernan is a complete crank who would have no platform in a functioning media.

she'll probably be a WaPo opinion columnist within 2 months.

Race-baiting from Joe Biden:

THREAD:Wilmington Morning News,1986,excerpts a 1970 interview where Biden complained some "friends on the left" will justify "5 colored guys" killing a "white deaf mute" "for a nickel" but won't do the same for "redneck AL farmers" who "tarred & feathered" an "old colored woman."

genuinely can't recall a positive story about Biden since he entered the race.

[marquis_de_sad]

Can anyone explain why Warren isn't totally cancelled? As far as I can understand she pretended to be Native American Rachel Dolezal blackface style to get ahead in her career.

At least Dolezal gave back to the community. And she grew up with (adopted) black siblings. She actually has more credibility than Warren.

[Urinal Cake]

genuinely can't recall a positive story about Biden since he entered the race.

The biggest story is that Biden played dutiful deputy to Obama's Sheriff.

Just cowardice.

[Dog Botherer]

to be fair it is the funniest possible thing they could have done.

[Pearly-Dewdrops Drops]

Seems pretty embarrassing for Warren, that they couldn't just straight endorse her but had to throw in a backup.

[Monsieur Verdoux]

Yeah really difficult not to see this as essentially just hedging on Warren

[Pearly-Dewdrops Drops]

Although my pet theory about the NY Times is that a massive percentage of their revenue (large enough that they are dependent on it for survival) is generating hate clicks for having the most idiotic Op-Ed columnists in the world who deliberately write things to trigger people online.

If they really just wanted Sanders to lose they would have endorsed Biden.

[Urinal Cake]

The pull of Buttigieg must've been huge but lack of black support killed him.

Now I want Obama to endorse both Biden and Buttigieg. Bros being bros.

[pcsjwgm]

I haven't read the NYT article yet, so I thought this tweet was a joke, but I checked and this is actually in there:

Wait, the NYT endorsement actually victim-blames Klobuchar staff for being abused. Am I reading this right?

"Reports of how Senator Klobuchar treats her staff give us pause. They raise serious questions about her ability to attract and hire talented people."

[Urinal Cake]

It's not really victim blaming it's diminishing her acts to being 'tough' when really she acts like a dick. The eating salad with a comb episode is some bizarre and narcissistic shit.
Actually I think it's NYT just giving good workplace advice to her. Be a nice boss and you'll attract the best people for the country.

to be fair it is the funniest possible thing they could have done.

Trying to figure out if this would be funnier than endorsing Yang

[Dewt]

I know I shouldn't invoke Newbridge but a few of you have probably come across that fucking horse centrist buffoon and oh boy are they two peas in a pod



space course horse to horse

[Ferris]

endorsing klobuchar lmao

[Phil_A]

A timely excoriation of the appalling ghoul Bloomberg from the excellent Renegade Cut channel. (He's also done similar videos covering Gabbard, Buttigieg and Biden)

Just watched that and now watching the Buttigieg one - THAT'S how you pronounce this guy's name?! Booty-jej? What in the name of god is going on over there.

I read some article on one of those millions of opinion sites they have now which said something like "Pete seems like the perfect presidential candidate, with his european surname."

I was like "lulwut? Pete Buttgieg is a name that could only ever exist in America."

[chveik]

it's clearly a clowne name

[Blumf]

Huh, it's Maltese. Never would have guessed.

[Dewt]

We're not supposed to talk about TFM.

[Cuellar]

How do you make a Maltese Cross?

Ask him questions about his closed-door millionaire fundraisers
