Democratic Primaries 2020 - Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?

There’s this exchange from the debate thread:

@AllTheCheese

Some nice unhinged posting on Warren, as expected. I thought when Warren was popular here, people liked her because of the same reasons I did, progressive voting record, impressive plans she clearly put a lot of thought into, and of course founding In the face of massive opposition a consumer agency that went after lenders for tens of billions of dollars. Literally none of that has changed, yet somehow she is suddenly a fake Democrat who has never been progressive and was just telling lies (and voting lies and creating agencies as a lie)

@ChrisV

I still think all this, but trying to leverage a private conversation like that is scummy politics. She knows full fucking well Bernie is not any kind of misogynist, but she’s still trying to leverage this against him, get the idpol crowd all sweaty. It sucks. If she really has a Plan For That then let’s hear her attack Bernie on policy, not this horseshit.

There’s thinking someone would do a good job in office and then there’s liking them as a candidate and it’s pretty hard for me to do the latter now, she’s lost a lot of respect from me.
