Dem debate tonight

CNN, CLINTON DEMOCRATS SOW DISCORD IN DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENTIAL RACE

Senator Bernie Sanders did everything he could to help Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton defeat President Donald Trump in 2016.

In 1988, during a C-SPAN appearance, he said, “A woman could be elected President of the United States.”

He even encouraged Senator Elizabeth Warren to run for president in 2015.

Yet, before, during, and after the last presidential debate before the Iowa Caucuses,

CNN and Clinton Democrats sowed discord among Democratic voters by promoting a spurious story against Sanders—

that he told Warren a woman could not win the election during a private meeting in December 2018.

It is still gaining traction, especially since CNN waited until 24 hours after the debate to release audio of a “tense confrontation” between Sanders and Warren that occurred.

CNN moderator Abby Phillip asked Sanders about the network’s story. “CNN reported yesterday that — and Sen. Sanders, Sen. Warren confirmed in a statement,

that in 2018 you told her that you did not believe that a woman could win the election. Why did you say that?”

The question was not, what do you recall from that meeting? That would have undermined what CNN reported.

He mentioned he “deferred” to Warren in 2015, when there was a movement to draft her to run for president.

He also said,

“Hillary Clinton won the popular vote by 3 million votes.

How could anybody in a million years not believe that a woman could become president of the United States?”

Instead of asking Warren a neutral question about what she recalled from the meeting or whether Sanders said a woman could not win,

Phillip lobbed a softball at Warren that would ensure the focus stayed on Sanders’ “sexist” remark.

Finney ... revealed the prejudice driving her interest in this story put out against Sanders:

Bernie came into this race with a bit of a legacy. The Bernie bros were known to have been horrible to women online.

he did come in with an impression and a lot of women still feeling pretty raw from 2016 about the fact that he didn’t stand up for Hillary or have her back or campaign for her, I think, as vigorously as he could have.

Clinton Democrats, like Finney, ... still resent that Clinton was effectively challenged by Sanders in the 2016 primary, and it brought attention to some of her weaknesses.

She voted for the Iraq War,

earned millions of dollars from speeches to firms on Wall Street, and

supported destructive trade deals.

The rest of Finney’s comments are littered with lies.

Sanders made helping Clinton defeat Trump a priority and never engaged in any acts intended to undermine her.

He discouraged his supporters from voting third party as a “protest vote” against her.

He held 39 rallies in 13 states on behalf of her campaign,

including 17 events in 11 states in the final week of the election.

CNN ... provocatively headlined, “Why Bernie Sanders is wrong about women.”

2016 election, Filipovic fueled the mythology around “Bernie bros,” a trope

that was primarily conceived by Robinson Meyer, an Atlantic staff writer.

So the Clinton faction, with help from CNN, MSNBC is gonna screw, gonna slander Sanders, when they aren't keeping off their networks and ignoring him, for challenging Hillary in 2016.

one take, at the time, on "bernie bros"

The “Bernie Bros” Narrative: a Cheap Campaign Tactic Masquerading as Journalism and Social Activism

It’s intended to imply two equally false claims:

(1) a refusal to march enthusiastically behind the Wall Street-enriched, multiple-war-advocating, despot-embracing Hillary Clinton is explainable not by ideology or political conviction, but largely if not exclusively by sexism: demonstrated by the fact that men, not women, support Sanders (his supporters are “bros”); and

(2) Sanders supporters are uniquely abusive and misogynistic in their online behavior.

Needless to say, a crucial tactical prong of this innuendo is that

any attempt to refute it is itself proof of insensitivity to sexism if not sexism itself

Didn't watch, but a lot of progressives are pissed at CNN's handling of the thing.

I have little doubt CNN's handing of it was stilted against Sanders. They seem to have it in for him.

Makes me want to run out and vote for him.

& now CNN is heading the accusation/investigation of Sanders crew abusing critics on social Media, driving them before the hoard & the lamentation of the women.

LOL biden basically conceding new hampshire

LOL biden basically conceding new hampshire

I’ve missed it so far. What’d he say?

[Reck]

LOL biden basically conceding new hampshire

He's not wrong though. First two states are not for him to win.

But this guy keeps telling people to go vote for someone else instead.

[spurraider21]

I’ve missed it so far. What’d he say?

the question was something along the lines of... "you say there is risk in nominating somebody like bernie or pete, what did the iowa voters miss"

his response was basically... "look, i did poorly in iowa. and im probably going to do poorly in new hampshire too. last time i think bernie won by what, 20 points? but i look at the first 4 states just as a starting point, etc"

[Reck]

Pete is getting gangbanged...but I think he's into it.

[CosmicCowboy]

Everyone will be going after boody tonight. Klobuchar needs to.kick the elephant in the room. "Do you really want a president that lets men stick their up his ass? , I'm hetero and I dont even let men stick their s up my ass!." LOL press would be talking about Boody taking it up the ass and how horrible it was that she said he took s up his ass and how taking s up the ass should be off limits in debates. 2 week later 200 million people couldn't look at boody without thinking about him taking s up the ass

[Reck]

The mods trying to show Biden the door. Gave Pete a shot to do the honors and he stepped up for Biden. Classy move.

Klobuchar probably wears a strap on and sticks a up her intern’s ass, so she really doesn’t have room to talk

You bring up a good point though is buttplug a pitcher or a catcher

These other candidates are either really tone deaf on healthcare or they’re getting pressure from big pharma to make a full court press trying to convince Democrats that they shouldn’t want Medicare for all. The exit polling in Iowa Is pretty clear that Sanders’ won the popular vote because of healthcare but the establishment candidates are still trying to attack Bernie over it.

[Reck]

Klobuchar's crackling voice gives me anxiety. Just like with Susan Collins

It’s like she’s taken all of the things that made Hillary a candidate (crackling voice, resting face, etc.) and amplified them in a more obnoxious way.

I think she’d do worse against Trump than anyone left in the field.

[DarrinS]

Biden is borderline senile

i dont even know if id calling it resting face... she's just always smirking as if she either just thought of a good line or somehow believes she just gave a good line

[spurraider21]

steyer sounds like he's campaigning for a bernie cabinet position tbh

if he wants to play the attack dog he should bring up that obama hasn't endorsed biden

[Will Hunting]

klobuchar's response was I PROMISE YOU GUYS I WONT GIVE YOU HEALTHCARE

She’s a ing disaster...I don’t understand how she was able to outlast Harris and Booker.
