To be fair, we watched a CNN round up of the best quotes, and they had 2 very short ones from Bernie (or literally no substance) and NONE from Warren… the way the mass media spins the election is fucking absurd.

She sounds like my dad, who predicted “black people won’t support Kamala Harris because she doesn’t look black enough.” :unamused:

(That was about 30 seconds after complaining about my sister-in-law accusing him of racism over something else. He’s perhaps progressive by the standards of the community and decade that he grew up in, but my sister-in-law is a queer millenial history PhD who wrote her thesis on Southern racism, and besides, she was right. His racist biases have never been difficult to spot.)

  1. The personal views of Warren are only marginally relevant, because Warren works for the DNC. As always, if a DNC candidate is elected, it’ll be the DNC’s financial owners who are really calling the shots.

  2. Yes, Warren is to the left of Biden. On a left->right ideological scale, it probably goes Warren/Obama->Clinton/Biden. But all four of them are right of centre, and all four of them are right of what is required for global survival.

Responding to Gabbard’s attacks, Clinton spokesman Nick Merrill said, “Divisive language filled with vitriol and conspiracy theories? Can’t imagine a better proof point than this.”

“I’m not making any predictions, but I think they’ve got their eye on somebody who is currently in the Democratic primary and are grooming her to be the third-party candidate,” Clinton said, speaking on a podcast with former Obama adviser David Plouffe.

Uh… huh.

Who exactly is using “divisive language filled with vitriol and conspiracy theories?”
