Bringing that shit up is trying to stir shit up. Tells a lot about the confidence they have or don't have in the person they support or don't support.

But everything's cumulative.

Might as well get used to addressing the issue here, before we go live, so to speak.

We are.

And now it's simply the pretense that an irrelevance is actually relevant.

You guys have a very fluid, and very convenient method of redefining words as it suits the moment.

At this rate, Sanders will announcing another increase in chocolate rations soon.

The more BASHING done now the more damage to the candidate and if the candidate becomes the nominee, well, we all know what happens next, dont we.

This is pretty mild compared to what's to come.

(Assuming Biden becomes the nominee)

regardless of who the nominee is.

I simply pointed to the fluid use of biased language to propel a narrative.

An observation. Which was pretty mild.

Calm yourself.
(kinda creepy when someone inaccurately instructs you on how you feel, yes?)

was considering supporting him as my second choice for a number of reasons but not now...only in the general.

I do a lot of research. You wouldn’t like some of it. But, you do you boo.

Nothing stopping you from posting.

Which must mean they also have some you won't mind so much. So that's nice.

Cog dis provides cover for everything.

....in the last week or so have fallen flat on their faces here on Democratic Underground.

And even as we speak (type), Biden's number continue to go up and Sanders' numbers remain stagnant or fall.

I wish I was still in college, I could write a doctoral thesis on this phenomenon.

What a desperate move.

Hope he has some killer responses when this comes up again because it ain't goin' away.

The attacks on him are increasing, with no effect to his numbers.

and as for the 1988...what 32 years ago...all I can do it...

Desperation sets in among those supporters who know in their gut that their candidate will lose the primary.

Or saying that a woman shouldn’t have the “sole right to say what should happen to her body.”

But if nothing else, we now have another opportunity to attribute these alleged "attacks" to Bernie's righteous oppression by the media/establishment/polling firms/writers/voters, and drive that narrative even farther.

A win/win.

Anything in Joe's past history is an attack, anything in Bernie past history is vetting. Get it?

Scorched earth.

Infuriating!

I remember liking him when he first tossed his hat in
and then all of this erupted.

I was glad he dropped out.

much less end a presidential campaign.

Particularly about certain candidates, because it's not RELEVANT!!

SHHHHHH!!!!!!!

giving us an opportunity to create effective responses for the 2020 general. In 2008, 20 years AFTER the 1988 outrage, Vice President Joe Biden was on the winning presidential ticket and again in 2012. He's demonstrated he can win a general. The difference is he's now at the top of the ticket.

....is different from his positions now in 2020. It's the second decade in a new millennium.

There are ganders, and there are geese.

They often meet.

Here's one introduction.

It pales in comparison to what our opponents do regularly and frequently in terms of misleading and misrepresenting.

If you want to help Bernie Sanders, promote his policies and tout his accomplishments.

Like anybody gives a shit.

I'm sure he's prepared to deal with any fallout from this now. Seems like ancient history.

is talking about this.

Progressives play whack-a-Joe with Biden

more negative. Sad to see.

fit.

" Incidents of plagiarism both on the campaign trail and during his time at the Syracuse University College of Law became some of the final issues that dogged Biden before he ultimately suspended his floundering campaign. "

...wow...

...something to think about...

we apparently can't look back to Biden's actual run in 1988 and why Biden ultimately dropped out of the race because of accusations of plagerism and exaggeration.

One is apparently very very meaningful and one is just invented scandal - that somehow has something to do with Sanders although he certainly wasn't involved in Biden's 1988 presidential run.

My brain is probably fried from trying to figure out so much hypocrisy which is, I'm sure, why I have a hard time understanding what's allowed and what's not.

But carry on . . .

the "throw everything at the wall and see what sticks" phase of their campaign.

Just makes me mad, and I'm not even a huge Biden fan.

This isn't gonna attract votes for Sanders.

I seem to remember someone lying about endorsements they did not receive several times during their last presidential run.
