Report posts, maybe? I've reported one post (Tukarr's sexist drivel). If I have the energy I reported others which are just blatantly excusing and promoting sexism, but... Christ, it's hard, and (as I noted yesterday in this thread), I'm a guy.
The event happend over 13 months ago. She has shaken hands with Sanders since then. Nothing he has said is different from what he's projected since then
This isn't a larry sanders skit.
I think the slavish Pelosi devotion is really strange and without irony, especially early in the term. Same with the #StillWithHer people and the militant Sanders people who can't admit one fault to him.
And yes, I think I also said her candidacy was DOA.
If I've been sexist I'll respect the judgement of the moderation team.
If not I'm expecting an apology.
Warren and Biden did the best tonight. Bernie looked like a liar on-stage, especially when he kept pushing the issue when people were ready to move on. Also as a Pete fan, I think this was one of his worst nights easily.
In general yeah, great idea. I think I'm just angrier today/this week. I try not to get too combative, but it's getting more difficult.
In reality, I just need to get away from this place, but I keep typing the URL in the address bar
to be clear, those thread titles early last year were about 75% irony posting on my part
Like a lot of people here say way worse things about Bernie on a daily basis and guess what? That's cool and okay, politicians are to be criticized and even used as emotional punching bags. But the moment I say Warren looked bitter to me for not accepting a handshake (and now with more context I can see why she was mad and understand her reaction) I am suddenly a horrible person lol. Like what's the need of getting personal?
OP
OP
100% of my OT titles can either be read as Irony, Mocking hate or outright feeling of "fuck you".
Pete definitely underperformed.
he was probably advised to let Bernie and Warren go against each other since his Iowa numbers are good enough.
klobuchar just did too much and it all sucked
Steyer surprised me. I'd be fine with him.
Biden was almost a parody of himself with his constant self cutoffs
I'll admit I've probably defended Pelosi reflexively on this site just because I find the things she is often blamed for are not really well-founded, and just general gripes with the political status quo at-large. Especially when she was Minority Leader and not in much of a position to influence policy outside of table scraps during budget deals.
I'll cop to her weaknesses though, her weird noncommittal on pot legalization is dumb (as it is for any Democratic politician in 2020 who's similarly wishy-washy or even opposed to it), and I don't think she had an impeachment strategy until Ukraine fell in her lap, but hey, it did.
Then again I also think Schumer catches more shit than he honestly deserves, even if I don't like him that much, for similar reasons which boil down to "why can't the Minority Leader force Republicans to be good people???"
I won't even front. When that DNA Test hit, I thought Warren was done. I'm glad that wasn't the case.
OP
OP
I again would like to point out that not only were smoking guns involved in our president criminal conspiracy revealed today but also hey some of those mighta suggested we ASSASSINATE OUR OWN AMBASSADOR.
Just another day in post Trump US.

What happens if you give to her general campaign but she doesn't make it?
a refund?
Yeah, I actually am going to apologize to you.
I said it earlier, but I think my fuse is just burnt out, and so I'm at the lashing out phase of just being done. You didn't deserve it, even though I do think you, as a poster, are frequently wrong.
I completely forgot about Ha ha Goodone. Geez, 2016 was too fucking long ago.
Hmmm, but was there anything in those texts or emails about Warren/Bernie?
If nothing else, at least this feud appears to be bolstering campaign donations for both Sanders and Warren.
How's that for a silver lining?
Actually...I have no idea. I've never maxed out to someone who didn't make it to the general before.
Bernie's answer was a slam dunk. His public endorsement of Warren to run in 2015 destroys any chance of believing he said something to purposefully discourage Warren.
The best Warren can hope for from the majority of Americans is that they forget about it after tomorrow.
It does bother me that some people tend to dismiss all the nasty shit Pelosi has said/done cuz "yas queen" when some of her actions legit impacted many people negatively and she herself has admitted to not doing the right thing on numerous occasions (her not pursuing a Bush impeachment when she was in a strong political position at the time + had all the evidence she needed sticks out to me especially)
Yeah, I get defending people on your team, but these things transcend political party (there are FAR more significant societal divides than party affiliation) and treating politics as team sports has to end if the political discourse is to improve.

This primary is starting to feel like 2016 again. I wonder which fauxgressive will play the part of Jill Stein trying to exploit the division.
I agree, Steyer really surprised me as well. I watched his post-debate interview and I was like "wait, this guy is actually pretty interesting."
Camp Warren: Bernie's attack is so slimy and underhanded...

The GOP: we floated the idea of killing an ambassador as a means to harm joe biden's campaign
Sending tweets of "I'm going to kill your children in the revolution" to the social media manager of Steve Bullock as a normal Twitter thing I guess.
Could anything have happened between 2015 and 2018 that would maybe have changed Bernie's opinion on whether or not a woman could beat Donald Trump? Can you think of....literally anything at all that happened between those two points in time? Literally anything?
Bernie's answer was good enough, but then he had to go step in it by claiming 1990 wasn't 30 years ago and he beat a Republican too! Literal man child.
I will take this to mean you are some sort of oracle and that we are gonna have a Warren Presidency. Thank you.
Yeah, as much as we'd like to primary litigate, this is big shit.
Yes, and not because prior to 2016 I was too poor to give more than $10 to any candidate.
You're welcome.
That's alright and I appreciate this! No apology needed! I understand that sometimes I post without double checking what I am saying, and I can see how that comes across as annoying :(
Warren says that Bernie has been "friends and allies for a long time, and I have no doubt that we will continue to work together to defeat Donald Trump and put our government on the side of the people."
What does it mean when he extends a hand in friendship and she refuses?
Elizabeth Warren is a legitimately smart person. So she must have thought about this. She refuses to shake hands.

you can give again after the primary if she's the GE candidate.
and yes they're supposed to refund you.
Bernie was correct to point out that Hillary had 3 million more votes. To lose by 10s of thousands because of the electoral college speaks to Hillary getting fucked over by a bunch of issues instead of solely sexism.
Pundits: The idea of a ambassador being targeted is horrible, but what about them Dems in disarray?
