    well... the answer to OP's question of what warren has to do to make a comeback, take a big shot at bernie to swing the progressive vote back in her favor?

    i mean, for the record, we dont understand the full context of anything. could have easily been him saying "look at all the extra obstacles hillary had to go through, being a female candidate probably cost her some votes, and we cant take that kind of chance in 2020"

    its likely more of a comment on the electorate than on warren

    theres no issue with her wanting to put out her own thought-out release instead of giving a comment for another reporter to put in a story.

    bernie comes out looking bad tbh... but warren with the "yes he said that but i want to keep it private" ... thats like the "no offense, but..." stuff
    She waited for Bernie to deny it too before releasing it which makes him look bad.

    Truthfully between Bernie's press secretary and speechwriter taking shots at her for the last few weeks and months and that mailer he brought it on himself.

    Warrens' best move would be to leak, through back channels, some that would cripple Biden. Her problem isn't Bernie. She needs to dump Biden so she at least has a shot. Once Biden is dumped, then she can focus on separating herself from Bernie. Maybe focus on his heart attack in a caring way.

    Saying "I don't think a woman can win" isn't the same as saying "A woman cannot win". The 1st is a comment on the political reality in the US during this era, and says more about the voter base than anything else. The 2nd could be a negative comment against women.

    But it's being spun the other way. This is why I think words are very important (as do you else you wouldn't be an attorney).

    The deal isn't that a woman can or cannot win, is that the only choices anyone will really have are 80 year old white people. Since when did 80 year old, damn near senile people represent great leadership? Wisdom often comes with age, but that should become apparent by age 50. 80 is nursing home level.

    I don't want to be an attorney.

    I think a debate starts with precise language so the reader can gauge intent honestly. After that semantics aren't as important, but there needs to be a foundation of accuracy in intent that's understood by both sides of the debate. I believe people who study law are often attracted to the order of things, maybe they have OCD, but if someone can just make a statement like "I don't think a woman can win" and it can be responded to as if someone said "A woman cannot win", then the debate has already failed. Sometimes disengenuous people do this, but sometimes it's an honest mistake that didn't need to happen if the language was more precise. Had someone said "In this day and age, it would be more difficult for a woman to win than for a man with the same platform because we haven't evolved as a society enough to overcome that", that would be hard to misconstrue. Maybe someone did say that and it was paraphrased into "a woman cannot win". When that happens, as it often does here, then the debate is basically over, unless the participants want to spend 2 or 3 pages haggling over initial intent.

    There are many career fields that could benefit from more precise language. The problem is it becomes tedious after a bit, and the lay person won't even read it - but dumbing it down so the lay person can understand it or even wants to read it means contaminating with a higher probability of being misconstrued. We see that a lot here, on this forum - some intentional, some not.

    i didnt say you did. i was playing out a hypothetical discussion to show how absurd a response that would be.

    i dont doubt the precise language is important, and its part of why i made the post above that i referenced. its just a silly notion that i wanted to be an attorney because i thought words were important.

    You just proved my point. I didn't say you wanted to be an attorney because you think words are important but if you didn't think words were important you probably wouldn't be an attorney.

    I don’t think Biden is dumpable, I thought he’d be done by now but he’s stuck around and isn’t going anywhere. His supporters don’t seem to mind the fact he looks like he belongs in a dementia care home during the debates.

    She and Bernie needed to collaborate and figure out which one has the best chance at winning the primary so one could get behind the other and combined support bases. Infighting between Bernie and Warren is going to tank both of their campaigns imo.

    anti semitic didn't work, so now DNC is playing the sexist card on Bernie.

    Anyone really think he'd say that, and to her? She and Biden have been in a freefall. Bernie has been surging, and is winning in Iowa and Cali.
