Democratic Primaries
Related: About this forumBernie's offensive against Biden could end badly.
This is not 2016 and Bernie's attack-minded strategy doesn't work so well in a multi-candidate field. Sure, he may score some points, but I'm willing to bet a lot of Sanders's softer supporters have fond memories of Obama/Biden and may not take kindly to any nastiness. And while these supporters run to Joe, Elizabeth Warren is running in Bernie's lane and could be seen as the more agreeable alternative.

Bernie Sanders Politely Asks Supporters Not to Harass His Opponents

(32,796 posts)Too... I dont think mr sanders realizes how many and how much Dems resent his using the party when it pleases him, and when he leaves he goes right back to bashing.

(297,723 posts)The media makes sure it's plastered all over the place for everyone to see.
He started right after the GE in 2016.. on cnn.. calling our Democratic Party "elite", and how he was "humiliated", making it all about himself.. When more than 1/2 the country was hurting badly.
And, here We are.. still Not "elite"..

(17,989 posts)Because too much can happen in a year and a half.
But listening to Joe warmed my heart. I am so sick oh hearing hate spewed every day.
I do hope you will be able to watch my favorite pundit, Donny Deutsche on MSNBC in video clips . He is getting his own show on Saturday night. I think it will be called, Inside Politics.
Owned his Ad Agency, sold it and was making Ads for Dems. He knows Trump very well and was partly instrumental in getting Cohen to tell the truth. He knows the whole greedy story.

(297,723 posts)better if there weren't those who Lied, and encouraged voters to vote for Liars.. and if those who sat home to teach lessons to Dems, who weren't pure enough(AHC).. were actually able to visualize a bigger picture.

(17,989 posts)Did any smart Democrat ever listen to Susan Sarandon? Who care what she thinks? Is she out babbling this year?
A reminder here. Tom Perez went on a long tour with Sanders after the election. And Keith Ellison was a Bernie backer. Are they still doing that?

(15,512 posts)as in "none so blind as those who will not see." After helping screw up the 2000 election you'd think she'd have learned to stay out of Roseanne's lane.

That's President Obama and Vice President Joe Biden's "legacy".
We'll see what happens.. I read somewhere that Biden declined to respond to Sanders..
Oh here it is..

Even Liz Warren gets attacked by some of the red rose brigade because despite her great plans and fully costed ideas, she is still considered "a capitalist". As if that's a slur.
The attacks are largely coming from one group. Their boy is imperfect too yet they judge others on being perfect.
