Democratic Primaries
Related: About this forumHmmm. What to think when someone you truly respect weighs in...
Yikes! Truth in the telling, I've never been worse than equivocal on Bernie and at best, in agreement with many of his policies through the years, but I'm going to have to reassess... Scathing commentary from Professor Tribe

(15,152 posts)I was a Bernie supporter at the very beginning for the 2016 election, but as time went on, and particularly when Hillary was not put in the White House where she belonged, I soured on Bernie. Now I am even less pleased with him.
Now, nobody alert on this. It's a reasonable discussion point!

I'm learning some new words in this thread.

(115,858 posts)I'm sorry to say it, because I did support Bernie in 2016 until the convention (by which time I was happy to support Clinton). But Bernie has worn out his welcome with me.

(102,373 posts)He doesn't strike me as the kind who "tweets" regularly and surely no staff member would bring it to his attention.

(29,277 posts)about what he says, how he says it and when. Im thinking it was either to psych out Sanders (whose team is no doubt keeping an ear to the Social ground today) or to attempt to shape the viewership and interpretation of what goes down tonight.
I admire Tribes legal mind, but this is clearly personal. And if he didnt intend to publicly influence, he wouldve just posted to his friends.

Symone Sanders Slams Shaun King After He Attacks Her For Supporting Joe Biden
Shouldn't the endgame be putting Donald Trump, not attacking our own?
Although this was debated ad nauseam during the 2016 Democratic primary, especially with the resurfacing of the super-predators clip, Symone Sanders was asked about the Crime Reform Bill on CNN. Sanders had a somewhat wonky response, which got her trending on Twitter.

(7,143 posts)1) Sanders has moved the Democratic Party in alignment with his vision.
2) The Democratic Party still sucks.

(6,139 posts)he is no longer a good messenger, we have far more talented people this time around who completely overshadow him. You can feel his anger in the debate - how dare you not take me seriously! he has much more in common with DT than most of us realize. But what a mess this debate tonight, constant interrupting, terrible hosts, etc. Its hard to watch. The % threshold for these debates should have been way higher. In which universe Biden and elected senators belong on the same stage with Williamson?? you gotta be kidding me, or a few other guys no one ever heard of.

night was just as bad. They kept talking over each other-very annoying. I think it looks like a circus. There are way to many moderators and candidates on stage. Should have made it three nights or fewer people allowed to qualify for the debates.
