So Warren is actually not Native American?

The fact that these attacks continue is astounding, not even a tenuous basis in reality



 
Bernie fans have been editing clips to make others look bad too. He's hardly alone.

Social media manipulation is a dangerous tool. Here's a great article that is non-biased and covers an array of politicians and viewpoints all being targeted.

The reality is it shouldn't be hard for someone to notice a red flag when a viral video that in 20 seconds long of a political speech is spread for negative reasons but for a lot of people they want that 20 second encapsulation to be true and therefore ignore context. It's a race to the bottom.

It's why I believe at this juncture Trump will be re-elected. He has a strong digital army and the incels over at 4chan and the like will get to work, facebook don't care about regulating and the journalists who live on social media will play both sides.

If he wins against sanders, I fully expect Eboue to dump toxic posts on sanders for the next 4 years after all the 'how can you tolerate Hilary for losing to grinch'

According to people I know who are heavily involved in Sanders’ campaign, they think beating Trump is the easier task and winning the Democratic nomination is the harder one.
 
Just checked 538.. Biden strong favorite..

The dems dont really deserve to win, do they?
 
So many major issues in the world and CNN are treating this Bernie Warren shit like it’s a breaking news special. feck CNN really.

With this attitude it's going to be another Hillary vs Trump.

I think Biden carries much less baggage than Hillary. She has been the subject of vitriol for decades (probably deserved to be fair) whereas Biden’s is more in the past few months. There is also no controversy of election rigging accusations that will turn voters off, at least not yet. I also think Trump lost more followers than he gained since 2016.

Totally expected. Look up the Cuomo "interview" with Bernie's campaign manager last night. Was very indicative of what they were gonna try today in the debate.

And they’re still talking about it. It’s such a nonstory.

Oh and they conveniently ignore what Bernie said. It’s so obvious that CNN has it against Bernie and it’s on the stupidest thing.
 
From what I've seen a lot of the die-hard Hillary supporters from 2016 who are still angry at Sanders went to Kamala Harris this time and are currently up for grabs. By Warren attacking Sanders, especially on this topic, she'll be backed up by a lot of these people who want Sanders to pay for what they think he did last cycle. It's possible that many of them could then go from siding with Warren on this particular issue to seeing her as the girlboss they dream of.

That's the best I can manage in terms of an argument that what she's doing is anything but idiotic. I don't think it'll work, I do think it's idiotic.

Its a reasonable angle but for the fact that Warren has tried to share Bernie’s ideologies this campaign and presumably has hoped to gain Bernie Bro backing if he won the nomination over him. She won’t have that if she trashes his campaign.
 
Is Warren trying to appease the establishment by going after Bernie? There has been a bit of panicking among the party elites about Bernie's chances.

Yeah, it only makes sense if she believes she's tried and failed here and it's no longer a worthwhile strategy.

I reckon she probably does believe that and to an extent she's right but not absolutely. She still has something to lose there. I'm pretty sceptical that she has much to gain though. She's just making herself look unlikable and the fact she seems to many like a nice friendly person is one of her most important selling points.

I'm also willing to entertain this. It's not beyond the realms that she knows it's bad for her campaign but thinks she's done for anyway and wants to make friends with Biden.
