I find it utterly fascinating that the same group of people who lament that Warren railroad Bernie are the same ones who are politically 'slut shaming' her now.

Some of Bernie's followers are a piece of work.

Political slut shaming.

You should be familiar with slut shaming. When a woman accuses a man of rape, whether the accusation is true or not, one defense is to impugn the character of the accuser with issues from the past that have no bearing on the accusation.

Basically, you argue, "this woman's a whore, she has not credibility attacking the defendant"

It's an effective strategy, but it never gets to the truth of whether the person did it or not. It just obfuscates the issue at hand.

I see some Bernie followers doing the political version of this to Warren.

I'm familiar with the term and the concept. Thing is I would never take the fake 'woke' route to try and conflate the two issues and completely invalidate victims of abuse in the process.

Nothing to do with fake woke. Happens all the time in politics, especially to women. Happened to Hillary in 2016.

Not sure why you are even arguing the point. Are you in your opinion 'slut shaming' Liz? If you aren't my post wasn't for you. I was making a point to the character assassination I have seen on twitter.

How does this invalidate victims of abuse? Now you are just throwing shyt in the air.

The voter who asks Joe the question says she got a call... probably from Bernie's campaign army of volunteers. :mjgrin:

Joe has to disown the video of him agreeing with Paul Ryan on Social Security cuts and claim its doctored. And Joe is endorsing expansion of Social Security by lifting the cap on taxable income for Social Security. There's a bill in Congress that 200+ Democrats have co-signed doing just that...

This is going to be interesting to see how the phone banking operation is going to impact things. Bernie's team has made over 4 million calls already this month.

@FAH1223 do the campaigns release any rough estimates of the number of volunteers on their teams? I mean I know Bernie has the most but I'm curious by how much.
I don't think you can find it unless the campaigns publish it.

Staff for national and state are easy to find.
