Democratic Primaries
Related: About this forumIt seems Pete's rise has irked a lot of people
Twitter is not real life. Therefore it's very funny to see the people who spend so much time online and who have had a four year headstart get peeved that Pete's on the ground campaigning has made him go from a political nobody to Iowa frontrunner.

(581 posts)Where's the critique of the policy? All this is bad faith strawman responses by a rival's campaign.
It would be like Pete bringing up Bernie didn't vote when Civil Rights was on the ballot therefore he didn't care about Civil Rights. It's one thing for an ordinary supporter to do that. It's another for campaign people.

(68,582 posts)income limits and IMHO is an abject failure...you have rich kids now driving around in hopemobiles...and the idea that those who can't go to college should pay for those who do ....I just think it is wrong. We need a better solution. And Pete is a moderate from what I can tell...and is not undermining anything. I don't even support the guy and I feel the need to defend his right to his opinion and to have different policies than others who think their's is the only way.

(68,582 posts)limitations. I live in the Mid West...and want to see manufacturing jobs in wind and other green energy jobs come here. Many will not need college. We need a manufacturing plan. Not everyone can or wants to go to college...and you talk about income inequality...it will only increase if we don't have well paying jobs for those who don't go to college.

(68,582 posts)some of Sen. Sanders and Sen. Warren's policies...they are accused of being right wing. I think that is the attack not the policy disagreement.

(43,402 posts)as is your smear
the actual RW would never support 99% of the main structural parts of any of our candidates' programmes, Buttigieg and Biden included
any and all of our candidates are as RW as Rump is honest
it is madness to call anything short of universal free tertiary education 'right wing'
the same goes for the bullshit smears (that I have seen 1000 times all over the net) that anything short of 100% full blown MFA and the evisceration of all most all forms of private insurance is 'right wing'
Bernie and his hired gun surrogates (many of who are openly hostile to our Party) do NOT get to define shit as to what is RW and what is not
their fucked up idea/definition of RW is basically ANYTHING that Bernie disagrees with

(16,862 posts)I've seen this not just in regards to Pete but other candidates as well and I can't stand this type of discourse. It's not enough to have a disagreement on policy, it has to transcend that and say "Not only is this person wrong because of x, but they're an enemy because their "actively undermining what our agenda is" or "they're position is a blockade to what we want".
That mentality is juvenile, it's petty, and it does nothing but attempt to tear down candidates that we might disagree with. All three of those tweets transcends policy discussions and jumps right into attack Pete personally. How is that productive? And Sirota and Joy Gray do this repeatedly with every candidate that isn't there own, just like in 2016.

(2,061 posts)Gray is a Trump enabler. Its actually really disgusting how she threw Trump an assist and is now making money off of it.
People must be responsible with their votes. These two circus acts can not be a major player in an administration.
