Democratic Primaries
Related: About this forumNeverWarren and Warrenisasnake trending on twitter
After the debates last night and the spat between her and Bernie, social media is turning against Warren like crazy.
I'm sure quite a bit of it is Russian bots sowing division among Democrats, but it seems to be working. Lots of people saying they will not vote for Warren, even if she's the nominee.
Republicans would stand united and vote for Hitler if he was their candidate.
Dems are bickering over which progressive candidate said what behind closed doors to each other.
It's insane. This really does not give me much hope that we're going to beat Trump. I really wish I could figure out how to get out of this country. America is a lost cause imo.

That Sanders supporters would think this OK to do to the person in the race who shares 98% of their political platform is seriously effed up.

(51,771 posts)Michael Moore is being disingenuous or ignorant of events.
Bernie's campaign called Warren supporters "rich" and "elite."
That precipitated the leak about him telling Warren that a woman can't win in 2020. The media then asked Warren to confirm if that was true and she did. Then Bernie basically called Warren a liar.
What a vicious bad-faith attack on Warren this has been.

Truthfully - I detest Michael Moore. Great film maker -but I have no use for him as a pundit.
He's never been in office - and it shows.

(1,474 posts)Politics is harsh, and people battle over minor disagreements. I have watched the scuffle in the primaries and wondered why everyone was pretending that we were somehow going to get out of this without intense name-calling.
If you read the tweets, you'll realize very quickly that there is not a large number of people attacking Elizabeth Warren on Twitter. It's a handful of people who likely never were going to vote for a Democrat.

(29,234 posts)yes, one of either Bernie or Elizabeth is lying... but the whole controversy is being blown up on social media and most of the really negative stuff is aimed at Warren... I'm thinking that Trump and the Russians are more afraid of her than Bernie.
BTW, I don't think Warren is lying about what was said.

(3,363 posts)It helps Trump for Dems to be fighting each other. I don't know who to believe, nor do I particularly care about such a stupid issue, but I will say that Bernie encouraged Warren to run in 2015, and is on video saying a woman absolutely can win the Presidency, so it seems odd that he would tell Warren a woman can't win.

(145,741 posts)According to many sanders supporters, it does not matter that Biden is leading in the primaries because sanders and Warren's combined numbers means that sanders would be the nominee under a joint ticket concept. I think that a joint ticket of sanders and Warren never made sense and would only benefit sanders and hurt Warren. The sanders supporters pushing this ticket just assumed that Warren would let sanders be on the top of the ticket and that her delegates would help sanders be the nominee.
Evidently, the sanders campaign decided to start attacking Warren and Warren has responded. Right now, any chance of a joint ticket seems not likely which makes me smile.
With the 15% rule there will be a number of states where either Warren or sanders will not get any or many delegates. Florida is one example and so the joint ticket concept never made sense to me.

(5,969 posts)I followed some Twitter threads and I was really surprised how much they despise her when you'd think she should be the closest ally.
To a degree, it already started with the "We trusted you" bs, of course. Supporting the general election candidate was such a crime, I guess.

How predictable, how unrealistic, how immature and stupid!
Social media sucks big time, try to ignore it. Once you work out ulterior motives and how trivial and irrelevant social media is , you just have to chuckle and go 'nice try, but no medal!'

(2,915 posts)You say "it seems to be working", but how many of these Twits are even real voting adults in America? Even if there are some idiot Bernie supporters who feel that way, they were always going to find an excuse to whine and throw their toys and go home, so forget about them and just focus on working hard to defeat President Trump and the Republicans.

https://people.com/tv/megyn-kelly-recalls-receiving-obscene-voicemails-after-trump-debate/
On Wednesdays hour of Megyn Kelly Today, the host sat down with an array of women who have spoken out about sexual harassment following the reveal that Time elected the Silence Breakers as their Person of the Year.
As the discussion inevitably shifted to the president and the allegations he himself has faced, Kelly, 47, recalled the hateful messages she received after she pressed the then-candidate about his controversial comments about women during the first Republican presidential debate in August 2015.
I understand why Republicans voted for Trump this isnt a condemnation of a Republican vote for him, she said. But on my voicemail after the Aug. 15 debate where I asked him that question about misogyny, I got all these voicemails saying, Youre a real c. And there was one that said, and I quote, No one gives a damn about misogyny. Somebody said that to me.
