I can smell the smoke from here.

Harris and her team have tested this line for months like screenwriters for a Schwarzenegger action film in the nineties.

pg&e should do a power shutdown at don jr's house before that burn gets out of control.

harris sucks

For most of America’s history, when our companies did better, our workers did better – and America built a thriving middle class. The Accountable Capitalism Act will help realign our skewed market incentives so companies & workers can once again do well together.

— Elizabeth Warren (@SenWarren) October 11, 2019

this is just completely untrue unless somehow 35 years in the middle of the 20th century is "most of American history"

Real wages for laborers/industrial workers on average did climb with productivity, though most of the growth was constrained to brief periods like 1836-44, or 1950-1973.

The ones that were paid wages.

I think fear of single payer/M4A explains these results

I feel like that explanation collides with Occam's Razor...

Harry Reid tells David Axelrod that he doesn’t think Elizabeth Warren will follow through on ‘Medicare for All.’

“Give her some time, I think that she’s not in love with that, I think that she, you’ll wait and see how that all turns out... oh I know she’s pragmatic, just wait”

Mayor Pete on Elizabeth Warren’s small donor strategy: “We're not going to beat Trump with pocket change”

he is so bad at this

He has to try to justify his fundraising from big donors somehow, even if the best he can do is that bullshit. He might as well say, “We're not going to beat Trump with just a bunch of little people casting their votes.”

Warren is only excluding large donors through primary season. Her campaign has come into some criticism for not excluding PAC money etc in the general.

Mayor Pete is perhaps bitter that he's in a similar trap as Biden, most of his funds have come from donors who've maxed out their $2,800 campaign contribution limit.

I'm sure I'll be able to scrape up another $50 for Warren..

We're not going to beat Trump with pocket change, but we are going to beat Pete

how is he so bad at this

he's getting paid to be bad at this

is Warren being paid to utterly misrepresent the history of US wages under capitalism?

Lol, you could literally squeeze his entire donor base into the Waldorf Astoria ballroom. And he probably has a few times already.

fwiw his small/big donor ratio is 50/50ish, which is basically equal to or better than all candidates except sanders (3rd most small donors), castro and yang (most small donors).

granted there are ways of cooking those numbers (e.g. one big donor can donate $100 27 times).

Looks like Bernie is finally saying it out loud:
https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/bernie-sanders-draws-contrast-elizabeth-warren-capitalist-bones/story?id=66217140

“I am capitalist through my bones but not recently metal allow through my cloggy coronary 89 y/o arteries, right bernie?”

Alloy allow, my shitpost spellcorrect is terrible

As if Bernie didn’t believe in free markets.

He has nothing to gain from ppl thinking he and Warren are the same anymore.

Yeah, and it was a fair and good way to make that distinction. Though not as good as this: https://www.vox.com/2019/10/14/20912221/bernie-sanders-corporate-accountability-ftc-merger-tax

the actual interview clip is pretty tame (per usual) but I think this is the first time he’s referenced the “capitalist to my bones” thing unless I’m mistaken

As if Bernie didn’t believe in free markets.

What does this even mean?

Sanders works within the exact same capitalist framework as Warren, only Warren has the sincerity to admit it.

Bernie believes in unregulated laissez-faire capitalism obv

https://pics.me.me/tanned-exquisitely-coiffed-bernie-sanders-tells-supporters-54085923.png

it's true

p sure he doesn't think companies and workers fairly shared profits for "most of our history" either

yeah bernie's definitely the guy with a sincerity problem foh

Sanders works within the exact same capitalist framework as Warren

So, like... he lives and works in the US?

No, it’s that 99% of his policies are just common sense keynesian policies that are very much capitalist in nature and have been adopted by other less dumb capitalist nations decades ago.

man man seriously just "yet bernie participates in society. curious!"

'concussed gabbneb' is a terrible bit

Ilx the only place where FDR is a marxist.

SANDERS '20: A Less Dumb Capitalist Nation

maybe Bernie read Frank Bruni's NYT column where he urged the Dem candidates to "grill" each other tom'w night

...but I hope he's got better things to do

Bernie’s cunning grift of calling himself a socialist for 60 years because he knew he’d need to find a way to differentiate himself from Warren in 2020.
