He managed to avoid calling her a liar while also level the playing field with an accurate statement: they are both calling each other liars. It's really a brilliant move. Same. I didn't really pay attention to her campaign much (being overseas does that a bit) and just thought "oh she'd be a good 2nd choice" and then when I started paying attention this poo poo happened. lol.

Bloomberg has got to be some kind of deep cover op. I can't think of a better way to discredit humane immigration policy and sane climate policy than by putting it in the mouth of a billionaire who wants to take your big guns and Big Gulps.

For what it’s worth my entire lunch room of pretty centrist Elizabeth/Biden/Butterbar supporters who all felt it was a hit job and no longer think Warren is worth supporting and felt sympathetic towards Bernie. They all get their info from TV/Radio.

It would be the best of all worlds if Bernie won the early states and Bloomberg/Steyer started peeling off Biden voters in the later states.

I read through all the NYT interviews so far and I sort of feel like they're gonna endorse Bernie. Logically it seems unlikely, but I think they do it

Gyges posted:This is a tweet typical of a certain trademark infringing user of twitter. Is there a name for this kind of rhetorical trick, where the initial terms are vague enough that literally anyone suggested as a counterexample could be disqualified? Tlaib is too new/young to be a “peer,” AOC obviously “worships” him and therefore isn’t rational etc. By the terms of the statement, Bernie may not be said to have a peer at all.

controversial take: the dnc should invite bloomberg to the next debate, because it's dumb that someone who polls as well as buttigieg nationally is able to dodge ever having to confront an adversarial interview or debate question on tv

Sodomy Hussein posted:lol, exhibit #305,130 of people not having coherent politics or even understanding of issues. Her position makes sense if you consider her to be a white supremacist. There were a lot of liberals insinuating that Bernie's socialism has a hidden "whites only" qualifier, and her falling for that explains her 2016. Buttigieg seems to actively hate black people, which explains her 2020 strategy. The only thing she's likely lying about is there being any chance she doesn't vote Trump in the general election.

Gyges posted:This is a tweet typical of a certain trademark infringing user of twitter. The better context is probably that this dude is a middle aged big pharma marketing consultant who is the epitome of the frat-to-dc-sycophant pipeline yet is treated by the checkmarks and media as some sort of hip progressive authority despite never, ever, ever talking positively about progressive policy, much less anything actually left. He was also one of the accounts most boosted by the ShareBlue botnets (the iteration Twitter was forced to shut down, not the current still blatant ones), but like everyone else involved -- including the people who posted botnet management tech support screenshots of themselves to Twitter -- suffered no consequences.  Gluelag.

Cuba is way poorer than the US yet has the same life expectancy and lower infant and child mortality rates. That's a pretty big silver lining.
