Obviously Pete has to attack Warren hard since they have the same voting block. I’d like to think he’s not doing it as a favor for Biden but LOL me if that ticket ends up happening. (which is a mistake, Pete’s a bad VP pick imo)
The guy who posted that isn’t an intern and the “dance” was done as a joke (I believe the guys a comedian). Bloomberg’s campaign made a tweet saying he doesn’t work for the campaign and the guy who posted the video made a joke tweet saying “so I’m fired” or something along those lines. Some other twitter jokester made a tweet how Bloomberg is firing an unpaid intern and I believe a couple of random journalists thought it was serious and picked up the “story”
Biden, Sanders and and Harris are where they were a year ago. Warren and Buttigieg are where they were six months ago.
That’s the pre-Bloomberg top 5. A year long campaign and most gains were only temporary.
Biden and Warren seem to be the only ones with a ceiling that can actually separate them from the pack.
Imo he’s not a bad person. This is a DemE oppo research dump now that it seems possible from all the grassroots money he’s raised that he could defeat their candidate. The worst of it are sexist edgelord blog posts written in 1999 and 2000 that he deleted a few years later. These already were weaponized against Cenk when Mike Cernovich dug them up on the WayBackMachine in 2017. Cenk apologized profusely at the time, and even resigned from Justice Democrats, the organization he cofounded that got the Squad into Congress. Cenk goes hard against sexism on his show, and champions equal pay, paid family leave, right to choose, and other progressive policy items that would empower women. If you want to say that the fact that he once said he probably couldn’t resist a blowjob from “a 3” (on a 10-scale) means he #canceled for eternity, okay, but to me, it falls into purity testing.
Lol I’ve read something like 3 articles in the last 24 hours talking about Bernie’s antisemitism problem. They all hit the same notes. The latest is the endorsement of Cenk who once gave an interview to David Duke. They quote Cenk’s sarcastic quotes as straight edged to make it sound like he’s approving of him.
Not to make too big a deal out of this but my five minutes of UK election research have convinced me that this (among other reasons) contributed to Labour getting curb stomped yesterday. Yea it’s lies but that shit fucking works.
