@non_spaces@ryangrim@SamSeder Sure, they're not attacking her bc she's woman. But attacking women gets you more traction. A month ago any critical video about Biden barely got any views when he's an actual Bernie's rival.
As strategy, needed to play nice to Warren. TBF, Bernie camp understood in last weeks
@zeykshade@SamSeder Depends on the states. In the South, Biden's voters 2nd choice is Bernie in big numbers. If he falls, Bernie is favorite to win the whole thing.
Remember, South is where HRC thrashed Bernie.
@unknownproldier @ZephyrTeachout Possible, but very unlikely. After that who is going to listen to the establishment types when they say they know best. Bernie's narrow win could have been spun that it's not a big deal.
They are taking hammering even from MSM.
@bablobiggins @gmsmi@SamSeder@lhfang@Robillard Easier to make a claim on twitter than live TV. Unless he's 100% sure, Sam won't bring it up. What if the guy has counter info, then your credibility is done for.
That's why Sam is such good debater. He keeps claims limited to things he knows very well and can defend.
@sdorkie @plannedgreg@SamSeder@SamWangPhD I don't know whether you are being sarcastic or not.
Bernie made 36 stops for her, while HRC did 8. And, of course, rather famously she didn't even go to Wisconsin. They were not too desperate to win, and voters could feel it.
@Bossanova98@SamSeder No one went harder against busters than Sam, which includes even HRC people who were not that desperate to win. Even Bernie campaign harder for HRC than she did.
It's always centrist that break for far right, which you will see openly if Bernie wins.

@beth2138291105@NumbersMuncher@JonahDispatch If they wanted Biden, they could have him on stand. GOP control Senate, so no one could have stopped them from compelling Biden.
They did not do it because it would have looked worse if there were no other witnesses.
@SamSeder@Taghkanic I know he's your neighbor and all, but the guy likes Michael Tracy, such a slimy character that even TYT jettisoned him.
That's how many people working for Intercept framed it because you want wider world to support him instead of narrow group who agree with him politically.
@TreiberS@SamSeder@KyleKulinski Yang can't win the nomination. It's like throwing away the vote. The reason why he complements him because he wants his voters to stay home if he does not win the nomination. That's what happened in 2016.
@IleneJide@SamSeder@WV_TN_DEM Nah. Harry Reid talks about it. As a Senate leader he had GOP on the ropes, but Biden made a deal with Mitch behind his back.
@LPr0le @CleverCentrist @Andy_Olsen@ryangrim Personally, I think Bernie is the most electable and Warren the least. But, if you want to use that argument Biden has almost as many black voters as all candidates combined, and they are the most important voting block for Dems win.
@LPr0le @CleverCentrist @Andy_Olsen@ryangrim The proof is in Bernie's camp denial for 3 days. They blamed it on loose cannon at first.
This talking point was developed not only in their campaigning but also spread through left media through connections.
@LPr0le @CleverCentrist @Andy_Olsen@ryangrim ? The whole point of scripts is people not freelance and go negative, period. There is a difference doing it on TV and face to face.
HRC camp used to call Bernie voters affluent, educated, which was true bc that's how new movements start. But even they didn't put it in a script.
@LPr0le @CleverCentrist @Andy_Olsen@ryangrim No. They denied for 3 days. Biden might be going senile, but you don't write a script for your people to spread it.
And left media, which his press secc has close connections, treated Warren like another Pete. Worse than even Biden.
@LPr0le @CleverCentrist @Andy_Olsen@ryangrim Personally, I don't think Warren can win the nomination or the general. But, what Bernie did with that official script is very unusual.
It's between Biden and Bernie. There was no point getting so focused on Warren. They made a tactical mistake.
@JeremyB1@jnlcgrmn@ryangrim Campaigns always tell not to go negative when knocking on someone's house because it can get tricky if other person doesn't like it.
Script was unusual and dumb. As for Warren, no interest in her. Far more interested in Bernie and how they messed this up.
