Elizabeth Warren allying with the exact group of people who’ve gone on a happy little union busting spree against Think Progress makes any claim of her leftward sympathies an utter joke.

For all her flaws I like that Warren is telling the DCCC to go gently caress itself and backing a lot of primary challengers.

Even as she makes inroads and concessions to the party establishment it's clear there's powerful parts of it she's more than happy to piss off. The DCCC has gotta be pissed with her right now after all the work they did to shut these challengers down only for Warren to go to bat for them

Don’t feel bad, my dad has had similar cognitive problems since January and he was able to make the difficult decision to retire from his HS teaching job because he knew he was in no shape to teach.

It’s Biden’s ego holding him back, not his dementia.

I hope he doesn't drop out until after a few primaries and then he just... Has to.

It will keep the pressure down on the other lovely Centrists.

We are actually kind of blessed that *this* is the dude the old guard Dems are resting all their hopes and dreams on and he's working so effectively to choke out the other guys trying to grab that spot.

I just hope he can't win. I honestly don't see him earning majority support with this sort of poo poo happening though.

Yeah, it's not the same. He legitimately has trouble speaking/thinking. It's even worse than Trump in terms of being an obvious sign of dementia or something.

He has but he has also never had this kind of camera put on him this long before. You didn't get every Biden VP meet and greet gently caress up caught because he wasn't important enough to have 12 mics in his face.

The bad news I guess is that most voters can't really distinguish between Warren and Bernie. The good news is that Warren voters wouldn't burn the bridge if Bernie got the nom... and also undermines the theory that Warren supporters are, at least in large part, vindictive #StillWithHer leftovers.

You’re a fool if you believe that poll. Warren fans are upper middle-class white people. Bernie’s coalition is much larger and diverse across income and ethnic backgrounds. This is yet another clickbait article put out by the establishment in order to gaslight bernie sanders and socialists into voting for the former republican after she ratfucks Bernie at the convention.

Nah, compare videos of him from 2012 or 2008 to now.

The same is true of Trump as well, he’s much much more lucid in videos from the late ‘90s/early 2000s, just an rear end in a top hat. By 2012 his brain was racist mush.

Even videos of Trump from the 2016 election are way more lucid than he is now, and that's saying something given how bad he was already then.

Yeah. You'd be surprised how much poo poo the GAO does, anyone can ask them to throw a report together, and they usually do.

The GAO is basically filled with government researchers and statisticians., it's all they do.

The slurring and straight up obviously forgetting common words so often is what convinced me. Watching him stutter as he searches for the right word is painful.

Diamond Joe: Tell a guy in a wheelchair to stand up for recognition, "folksy" racism, give the Irish PM condolences for his still living mother's death.

Admittedly even Diamond Joe was poo poo with names, once introducing Barack America and thanking Dr. Pepper(a Dr. Paper organized the event he was thanking her for).

Certified No Brain Damage Joe: Literally forgets what state he's in, slurs words, rambles in a dottering old man way, thinks every foreign lady leader is Margaret Thatcher.

When Certified No Brain Damage Joe fucks up a name, he hangs there for a few moments clearly trying to force his brain to work. Barack America flowed like an actual name, President My Boss was sub Donny fill in the memory blank desperation.
