[Cheddar Biscuits]

God damn Massachusetts, you didn't have to turn on her that hard.

 

[Kenny West]

This is interesting, this post is on pg 2182.

On pg 2181, the tweets posted are
Nap posting a twitter thread bashing Shaun King.
Nap posting a tweet about Bernie Bro's holding the Democrats hostage if Bernie has the delegate lead but not 51% of the vote.
Nap posting tweets attacking Ben Jealous for saying that winning is winning about the same delegate math.

Pg 2180
FAH posts a tweet with polling data
Nap posts an article about essays by Bernie from 1969
Android Hero posts a tweet to an NYT article about Biden admitting to lying during this current campaign about a civil rights arrest
FAH posts a tweet to an article about Bernie's campaign strategy employing something new

Pg 2179
Nap posts a tweet about a baseball owner being approached by Warren's super PAC
Dtownreppin posts a tweet to a video about superdelegates from Nomiki Konsts and says Sanders supporters are punching down and pushing conspiracy theories
Nap posts a tweet from Clyburn's grandson about Bernie supporters
Tru_m.a.c. links to a Propublica article that says Bloomberg helped the Sackler family with communications to handle negative coverage in 2017
Nap posts a WaPo article saying Bernie's not authentic authored by George W Bush's speech writer

Pg 2178 we finally find a tweet from a Bernie head that relates to Warren...it's polling data that Bernie's leading in her home state.

Same thing happened to me yesterday. I heard about Bernie Bro's unfairly targeting Warren using tweets, but the pages I scrolled back were mostly discussions or data...the barrage tweets all come from one source who's mostly vapid and mostly aimed at Bernie.

If you actually looked through the thread you'd see the swipes, passive agression, complaints and blue check shill tweetstorms outnumber the actual pro bernie posts 2 to 1. And this was before Nap returned.

They're not fooling anybody and thats why the mods letting shyt rock. These dudes get skullfukked on policy and record discussions because they happen to back candidates inferior in that area.

Yet when it happens they dont concede anything, they just drop the subject and retreat back into the "WAAAAAAAAAH BERNIE BROS" circle jerk

Its just more disingenuous bullshyt that mirrors the disingenuous bullshyt politicians they support

I don't know why this reminds me of Biden on the debate stage

I never make a claim without citing my evidence, but threads fly. When I've looked, it's been weak. Tag me fam, I'm tryna work the unity card.

i gave you a list of names the other day, simply click the debate, various primary threads and this one, click the total replies and scroll through their posts

you can also do a search for "snake" "fake progressive" and all the terms kenny west uses to say how warren is only running to stop bernie

 

[King Kreole]

LMAO

Bro you dont have to jump the shark just because liz did too. Are you in a cult or something?

So according to this chart, 21% of Warren supporters had Sanders as their second choice, the same number that had Pete and Kamala as their second choice, and you're touting this as evidence that a majority of Warren supporters have Sanders as their second choice...

"BUT HE HAS NO ACCOMPLISHMENTS AND REPUBLICANS WILL NEVER WORK WITH HIM!!!"

 

[Pull Up the Roots]

He didn't change his stance, he said that the super delegates in the states where he won by a good margin should take their lead from the voters and should do the same for Clinton. That should be a given, but they were already lining up behind her before she announced and in public while the actual people were voting.






It's not the same and the narrative that he all of a sudden doesn't want to play by rules that he wrote is disingenuous at best.

She's playing the game, I get it but Warren supporters talking that 'ally' shyt and playing dumb like people are picking on her and hurting the coalition are being ridiculous IMO.

Nope. That's a spin the Trump supporting trust fund dipshyt is trying to disseminate. He changed his stance. The supposed videos that offer context does not change the gist of the point. He wanted supers to choose him even though he had fewer votes and delegates.

Sanders Campaign Now Embraces Superdelegates As Key To Nomination
Bernie Sanders’s Hail Mary: maybe superdelegates can save me
Bernie's longshot victory strategy
Bernie Sanders pushed for a contested convention in 2016. Now he wants to avoid one.



Who pushes this ally shyt? I only ever see it employed derisively whenever Warren does something that goes against the weird expectation that some of you have of her/campaign. Some of you believe that everything she does should be in service of Bernie.

Every Democratic Candidates' 'Black Agenda,' Ranked
1. Elizabeth Warren
Total Score: 79
Elizabeth Warren’s plan is called “A Working Agenda for Black America.”

• Economics: Look, no one is going to outshine Warren in this category. Her plans offer specifics complete with dollar amounts and budgetary offsets. She has entire separate sections on entrepreneurs of color and farmers of color. She backs reparations.
  Economics score: 9
• Criminal Justice: Warren approaches criminal justice reform with compassion and logic. She does not have any new ideas but she outlines exactly how she wants to reform cash bail, sentencing, police brutality and drug legalization. She, along with Tom Steyer, both include mental health reform in their criminal justice plans.
  Criminal Justice score: 7
• Education: Warren is a teacher, so it makes sense that her education plans are comprehensive. She separates K-12 education from college reform. However, her college plans focus primarily on student debt and not HBCU funding or college programs.
  Education Score: 8
• Politics: Again, Warren offers specifics. She doesn’t just want to end voter purges, she wants to pass a law that bans removing people from voter rolls unless the voter affirmatively requests to be removed or there is objective evidence of a legitimate reason to remove them.” She wants voting machines to be approved statewide and on the federal level before they can be used in elections. She vows to use executive authority to prevent voter discrimination.
  Politics Score: 8
• Comprehensiveness: Perhaps no candidate in history ever had a more detailed, comprehensive plan that Elizabeth Warren’s. Every single policy has a separate page explaining how she will accomplish it. She earned extra points for having an entire agenda for black women.
  Comprehensiveness Score: 10
• Blind spots: Honestly, it is hard to find holes in Warren’s policies. She doesn’t address college admissions and she’s a little too nice to racist institutions. She points out discrimination but tries to correct it with “investments” instead of criminalizing the institutions for racist practices. Other than that, her plan is as at least as comprehensive as her competitors’.
  Blind Spots Score: 7
• Feasibility: Warren’s plan is expensive AF. Unlike other candidates, she explains where she’ll get the money but her wealth tax will be difficult to pass. She does have a legislative history and the ability to explain her policies by breaking them down with compassion. She’s like a kindergarten teacher or a scientist speaking to Donald Trump.
  Feasibility Score: 7
• History: Warren is the only candidate whose history isn’t marred by a problematic racial past. That whole Native American blunder might be irrelevant to most black people because we all have a cousin whose “good hair” comes from her “Indian roots.” She was a Republican until 1996.
  History Score: 7
• Intentionality: It’s hard to argue that anything about Warren’s platform is performative because she has always displayed intention when it comes to diversity and inclusion.
  Intentionality Score: 8
• Impact: Warren’s plan might not be the most impactful, but it is the most realistic plan. It is as progressive as Bernie Sanders’ but she bests him on actual policymaking. It also doesn’t rely on Sanders’ “rising tide lifts all boats” theory because it targets specific issues of race with precision.
  Impact Score: 8

There you have it. Elizabeth Warren’s “black agenda” is the blackest of them all. Unfortunately, she also seems to be invisible to everyone except Mike Bloomberg. But that’s only because she keeps punching him in the face during the debates.

[DirtyD]

Remember before he became the biggest Warren spammer on this site when Nap used to shyt all over Warren? Pepperidge Farm remembers:

She should not run. I wouldn't want her as president

She's one of the most effective Senators for democrats i've ever seen.

Why would we remove her from her position as a LAWMAKER?!?!

.

IGNORE IT.

This won't go away.

Trump doesn't forget shyt.

He brings up Senator Blumenthal lying about his vietnam service almost 30 years ago!

We’re supposed to be the unity party but I’m seeing a looot of people voicing they’re dismay at how the race is going

 

[Copy Ninja]

People don't trust the government and don't want their taxes raised ,really not that hard of a concept. Imagine not being able to understand why someone wouldn't trust a government that waste billions/trillions of dollars a year on the most useless shyt.

Majority of the taxes in Bernie's plans are going to be on the wealthy.

 

[Loose]

Define wealthy and majority
