this is what makes it so worryingly dumb, but whatever, we'll prob be fine.

Warren is choosing to position in this race herself as somewhat less radical than Bernie. That suits both of them just fine. It suits me, too. Both of them are much more progressive than any candidates I've seen in my lifetime who have a real chance at victory. The most recent progressive equivalent who polled well enough to worry the rich was Jesse Jackson, and Sanders + Warren combined are far ahead of Jackson's numbers.

it was kinda weirdly left out of yesterday's dumping on Warren for her Gates tweet that she was responding to Gates saying that she probably wouldn't be willing to talk to him.

And also she followed up that tweet by another one saying 'PS I'm a neoliberal shrill pretending to be a leftie, please don't tell anyone'

i actually think her response to Gates & Bloomberg were some of her stronger "moves" tbh

Worst thing about Bernie are his supporters. As in 2016.
― Self Disabuse (Sanpaku), Saturday, 9 November 2019 15:12 (four years ago) link
thing is, they have somewhat more of a point this time around; the fact that by most polls bernie sanders of all people is the second-most or even most electable democratic candidate (in terms of support, likelihood to beat trump, etc.) out of a field of very much more than two, should be far bigger news than it's being portrayed as
(I haven't really weighed in much because I go back and forth about whether I support sanders or warren more about once per day)
― like, I’m eating an elephant head (katherine), Saturday, 9 November 2019 16:40 (four years ago) link
The fact that he would have beat Trump means they had a point then too 😎
― The Mandymoorian (Whiney G. Weingarten), Saturday, 9 November 2019 16:48 (four years ago) link

He was outpolling HRC against Trump from wire to wire
― Suggest Banshee (Hadrian VIII), Saturday, 9 November 2019 18:09 (four years ago) link
katherine weigh in more imo; uncertainty is the opposite of disqualifying
but if anything from a defeating-trump standpoint i think they had more of a point in 2016, when sanders' opponent for the nomination was literally the worst choice available for this purpose. that's not the case this time. still have a point tho yup.
― difficult listening hour, Saturday, 9 November 2019 19:07 (four years ago) link
that's not the case this time.
(thinking of warren here obv. biden and pete are still pretty bad lol)
― difficult listening hour, Saturday, 9 November 2019 19:10 (four years ago) link
ON THE OTHER HAND the "biden in first! nipping at his heels in third..." stuff we endured for much of the summer isn't how i remember bernie being covered before primaries actually started in 2016, when there was thought to be no danger in chuckling over an amusing hippie sideshow and opportunity to boast about how civilized our differences are here in the big tent; but this time he has been a real candidate from the beginning so we get this sweating, murderous silence
― difficult listening hour, Saturday, 9 November 2019 19:38 (four years ago) link
Not really, though, next to Kamala he has pretty clearly had the worst campaign compared to expectations? If anything, the silence has probably been beneficial.
― Frederik B, Saturday, 9 November 2019 19:52 (four years ago) link
Compare to how many 'Why is he doing so bad?' pieces that has been written about Biden while he is unfortunately still pretty comfortably in first.
― Frederik B, Saturday, 9 November 2019 19:57 (four years ago) link
compared to expectations
expectations, or rather fears, are what i mean tho: don't think there were many at this point in the 2016 cycle, so nobody had to be quarantined
the silence has probably been beneficial
i doubt it does all that much one way or the other, but as a berniebro i do envy the louder scorn warren is presently receiving from the most despised people alive. can't hurt.
― difficult listening hour, Saturday, 9 November 2019 20:05 (four years ago) link
i don’t like how the ppl who run Bernie’s twitter account (well one of them, you know the one) ventriloquise annoying twitter voice onto him. it’s like they totally don’t ‘get’ his voice /tone
― flopson, Saturday, 9 November 2019 20:18 (four years ago) link
i think the wider + lefter field is making bernie have to up the stakes and radicalize more to stay differentiated, whereas HRC allowed him to be more moderate. i don’t think he’ll win the primary bc I don’t see his numbers growing much after all the other candidates drop out and their voters split mostly for liz or biden. i could be wrong
― flopson, Saturday, 9 November 2019 20:21 (four years ago) link
If Warren weren't in the race, he'd be the clear people-under-thirty favorite or whatever alternate to the Biden/South Bend mayor Moderate Person we name.

He refused to take the bait in this interview re: having a "rivalry" with Elizabeth Warren:https://theintercept.com/2019/11/07/deconstructed-the-bernie-sanders-interview/
So my point is, look, I was asked this question by ABC, and that’s the answer I gave and I think it’s the right answer. Senator Warren is trying to figure out a way to fund this. I am trying to figure out a way to fund it. Most importantly, what we both understand that Medicare for All will save the average American substantial sums of money in their healthcare costs.
Elizabeth Warren is somebody that I have worked with for many, many years. Worked with her before she was a United States senator. So obviously, if I am fortunate enough to become the Democratic nominee and president of the United States, I would look absolutely, to Elizabeth Warren as somebody who would play a very, very important role in everything that we’re doing.
