begooode Posted September 12, 2019 Report Share Posted September 12, 2019 1 hour ago, ctm said: So how many of the anonymous Obama supporters that are being quoted are now Biden supporters? This seems like a deliberate attempt to create distance between EW and Obama. Odd timing today indeed. Political commentator and former Obama adviser David Axelrod knocked former Vice President Joe Biden for tweeting a video of himself and former President Obama ahead of Thursday night's presidential primary debate, writing that Biden's attempts to tie himself to his ex-boss's legacy were far from subtle. Axelrod, who served as chief strategist for Obama's 2008 and 2012 campaigns, tweeted that Biden was "claiming co-authorship of Obama’s record" in a way that was "about as subtle as a screen door on a submarine." https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/461110-axelrod-biden-tweeting-obama-video-as-subtle-as-a-screen-door-on-a Starkiller 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one candidate who values being the closest to Obama working to make sure Warren doesn't keep gaining on him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

She was also attacked today by Ed Rendell former Gov. of Penn., a Biden supporter, for transferring money from her senate campaign to her presidential campaign. They are getting nervous and it's showing. Pragidealist, thor, and Starkiller 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starkiller Posted September 12, 2019 Report Share Posted September 12, 2019 https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/rubycramer/elizabeth-warren-social-security-plan Warren’s policy plan, one in a long list she’s released in the eight months since she began her presidential campaign, would increase Social Security benefits by an estimated $2,400 a year for future beneficiaries and the roughly 64 million current beneficiaries, with further increases for low-income families, women, people of color, and people with disabilities. Under the current system, Social Security taxes are only collected on wages up to a certain amount that typically increases annually. For 2019, the 12.4% tax (evenly split between an individual and their employer) is collected on wages up to $132,900. The cap makes the tax itself regressive: People who earn less pay a greater portion of their overall wages for the tax than those who earn significantly above the cap. Warren’s plan would flip that by imposing a 14.8% Social Security tax (also split between an individual and their employer) on individual wages above $250,000. Her plan would also impose a similar tax on net investment income for top earners. Ahead of the release, the Warren campaign also solicited what officials described as an independent analysis of the plan by Mark Zandi of Moody’s Analytics, who estimated that the plan would cut the senior poverty rate by 68% and work over a period of 10 years to reduce the nation’s deficit by $1.1 trillion. thor 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Warren was to win the election the entire libtard media would celebrate her as the first native american president. Watch. ABC, CBS, NBC-MSNBC-CNN would all be celebrating the great win for Indians. That is how fucked up our coountry is now. Fortunately the witch will never win. You obviously hate our country.

Little Earl Posted September 13, 2019 Report Share Posted September 13, 2019 Elizabeth Warren tweeted out, “On my first day as president, I will sign an executive order that puts a total moratorium on all new fossil fuel leases for drilling offshore and on public lands. And I will ban fracking — everywhere.” The Indian woman would be an economic wrecking ball. Rolltide 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as she doesn’t openly state she’s going after people’s guns then she has a good chance. I think it’s pretty close at this point, and Biden either gets it together or he’s done. That last debate was cringeworthy. He was all over the place. Pragidealist 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Massachusetts is way less blue than people think. As I said, Warren in her first campaign ever, defeated a pretty popular Republican incumbent for the Senate. Then she won her re-election bid in a romp. She is 2-0 in elections and started at pretty much the highest level available. Hard to beat that.
