The biggest is Obama ran as a unifier. This is “you can’t stop us” is divisive. I also thought that anti- establishment stuff was rhetoric from him too. It’s just empty rhetoric to me - make that concrete and I’ll listen Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

'fighting' in the sense that he's running a presidential campaign, that goes beyond those goals. Also 'fighting' in the sense of questioning whether the party's goals in policy even match up to its stated ideals, ie justice in the John Rawls sense. So the “you” is who? I think that’s prescribing a lot to what was said. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was way nastier than Sanders' tweet which is not even nasty. 2008 was even worse than 2016. Btw, the guys in the tweet are Josh Barro (a former Republican) and Jon Favreau was an Obama speech writer. They aren't Sanders supporters. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn’t ‘you’ it was ‘they’. They were the DNC and the GOP. Not really prescribing, just using context. Don’t need to be paranoid. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No1TitansFan Posted February 22, 2020 Report Share Posted February 22, 2020 Bernie should declare as a Democrat officially eventually and say he will abide by the DNC, it would lock in a lot of support from non Bernie supporters ,wouldn't cause any of his fervent supporters from voting for him despite their grumblings about it, and wouldn't tie his hands at all in actuality at a contested convention; it would be more of a symbolic gesture.

Wang was talking about this post debate, they need to be making ad buys for Super Tuesday and the week after now and the rates are inflated and getting higher because of Bloomberg. The problem he said, is you have all these staffers who are ardent supporters and would be out of a job telling you to stay in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Titans279 Posted February 22, 2020 Report Share Posted February 22, 2020 (edited) Not surprised someone like Chris Matthews would think that's a good idea. A guy with literally nothing to lose when Republicans are in control, or if they are given an additional 2 SCOTUS seats for the next 40 years.
