Agreed. Uh-oh!

I think Biden’s made many, many, many foot in mouth responses over the years and will make many more. He’s also made many imperfect ones that play well with voters. I think today’s bit above will do the latter. Frankly we’ve always needed more mainstream Dems who can flat out call out bullshit for what it is. Obama was held back from doing it because of the color of his skin bc of media and bigots eager to call him the angry black man; even his “anger translator” became a gag. Clinton was never allowed bc she’s a woman. Warren equally struggled to walk the line because of sexism and accusations of being “shrill”. This privilege is racist and sexist in its foundations, but that doesn’t change the fact that Biden (and Sanders) can get away with it in ways they can’t. I think ordinary folks are going to eat it up with a spoon. I suspect any "Demxit" or "BernieSurge" crap are Russian-originated but likely being picked up by useful local idiots as well.

Agreed:

Incredible

The coalition building continues from more of the Gawker Media faithful:

AOC, unlike some of her contemporaries, has begun wising up quickly. I don't agree with everything she does or says but she's built some bridges. I knew if that happened they'd start to come for her, like I knew they would Warren before her. It will continue. Sanders' voter ceiling and essential weakness has been exposed like never before this cycle. It would be sad, re: our common goals, if so many of his worst supporters didn't deserve it.

I see we've reached... whatever point this is:

I said my piece on my candidate and how proud I am of her, warts and all, the other day. No sorrow, she's just gonna keep moving forward. And maybe make Joe and especially Bernie work for an endorsement. I think Joe is more than willing to work with her re: policy.

Am I the only one who thinks Tlaib, etc. trading on Anita Hill's name in this primary will backfire? She is not a shrinking violet when it comes to being appropriated for coverage, not by Biden last year or I suspect anyone else.

LMAOOOO. He wanted to primary Obama!!

Link pls

Bernie could choose to intervene and shut down the aggressive surrogates, male journos and randos in his campaign. He occasionally feints towards it, but never follows up. Today he actually did a McCain '08 moment at a rally; silenced people booing Biden and told them Joe was just a good guy he disagreed with. But by the time tonight rolled around he was full of venom again. He wants them doing that. They are his id.

Meanwhile!

After over 3 hours in line I am proud to say I voted in CA for Elizabeth Warren. I knew she was done and that Bernie had taken it, but fùck him and his misogynistic cult. Elizabeth made some of her own mistakes, but for my money she was and remains the best candidate and still has many proud days ahead in politics beyond this race. Casting a futile vote for her meant that much to me, and I’ve failed in politics before for lesser people. I’m not surprised at all that Joe came roaring back with the black vote, or that Bernie’s promises of the youth and Latino votes fell short. I’ve seen people whiplash in other forums from all sorts of bile and conspiracy theory about her and Buttigieg to doing a 360 yesterday and flat out begging the majority of posters they’ve abused to drop Warren and vote for Bernie. You can imagine my response. I have no sorrow tonight. She ran a good race in the face of media bias and a rock and a hard place, trying to thread the needle between pragmatists and diehard ideologues. She took torrents of abuse and venom, 24-7 snake emojis, misogyny and other recycled far left Clinton attacks I knew would come for her someday. (AOC, who has wisely begun to moderate, is next, and remember I told you so) She finished strong and she put Mike Bloomberg in the ground. I am so proud of her, and of Joe.

I thought it was a very classy statement. I've had many, many issues with Matthews but I also have mixed feelings about him and always have. At the same time I think he'd gone too far, and it won't be surprising if more unsavory stories about him come out. He should've probably lost the job for some of his comments re: Clinton four years ago.

I'm not watching atm. I'll catch up eventually. The retcon is alright I guess, but I don't see the point and I'm annoyed they destroyed Gallifrey again. I wouldn't be surprised if all three ended up leaving.
