1. Yikes!

Like we haven't had enough of angry and divisive!

Carry on.

[Cha]

7. Yeah, wasn't BS the first one to sign on to

the "bogus unity rules"..?

2020 Candidates Begin Signing Unity Pledge, With Sanders Taking the Lead

[peggysue2]

9. Funny that, eh?

Yup, Sanders and his supporters beat their chests about being first.

LOL. Can't make this stuff up.

[Cha]

12. You cannot make this

***** up. We'd be laughed outta the room. lol

[Gothmog]

30. I agree

[ritapria]

2. Bernie needs the endorsement of AOC

AOC met with Bernie last Saturday in Burlington, Vt …..

[Cha]

8. According to KB.. BS needs to "Embrace being angry and "divisive."

[George II]

17. Considering that she and her Justice Democrats have had a 9% success rate.....

....he'd be wise to discourage her endorsement.

Remember that "we're going to flip this district red" video last year with him and Brent Welder sheepishly standing in the background?

[ritapria]

18. I'll guarantee you Elizabeth is seeking AOC endorsement

[Cha]

20. Got proof? A link?

[BlueMississippi]

24. AOC's endorsement will be a kiss of death nt

[Cha]

41. ..

[OldRed2450]

48. What does a AOC endorsement have anything to do with this topic?

Am I missing something?

[Cha]

73. Deflection?

[RelativelyJones]

3. Saw her on Maher. Not impressed.

[Cha]

43. Same "divisive" message?

Thanks, RJ

[Kahuna7]

4. Ugh! nt

[Cha]

74. No kidding. What an

idiot.

[melman]

5. She is 100% right

As usual. Krystal Ball is a treasure.

[BlueMississippi]

25. Like they say, one person's trash is another's treasure!!

[Hortensis]

63. :) Let's agree we'd both love to see Sanders at his angry

and divisive worst. If any hold any misconceptions about bogus unity, maybe improved circulation will give him the energy to destroy them.

'I am not now, nor have I ever been, a liberal Democrat' ~ Bernie Sanders.

That's right, Sanders. But you can do better than just clarify that. Give us hell!

[melman]

64. "maybe improved circulation will give him the energy"

Wow. Really going to go there?

[Hortensis]

65. Huh? The stents are to improve circulation to/from the heart.

With that he should be feeling much better than he has recently. At this point I'm guessing I wasn't imagining it when I thought he looked and sounded tired each time I saw him. He probably was.

What on earth did you imagine I meant, though? I'm curious.

[melman]

66. I didn't imagine

I know. And so do you.

[Hortensis]

67. No, but we do not think alike, so whatever.

[melman]

68. No

We certainly don't. I would never take cheap shots about a person's health.

[Hortensis]

69. Lol. Any "shot" would have been at those who don't

examine the candidates for who they really are, their character, integrity, beliefs, work records.

I was talking earlier with a Sanders supporter who passionately insisted Sanders is not a socialist. He clearly had no idea how insulting that was to Sanders, who gives us all reason to believe he is passionately sincere in his beliefs, if not always in his statements.

[PatSeg]

6. Embrace being angry? Seriously?

When is he not being angry? It has become exhausting.

[Clash City Rocker]

11. Well, he hasn't openly told people to vote for Trump if he loses

Beyond that, I don’t know how much more divisive he could get.

[PatSeg]

40. Running for president

seems to change some people, like being infected with a virus. Once they get a taste of it, they are never the same, especially if they enjoyed considerable success during their run. I don't think Bernie ever got over the loss and he just can't let go. I can understand the great disappointment, but Bernie came across as a poor loser and I've never quite been able to look at him the same since. Then he left the Democratic party even though he probably knew he might run again.

[DURHAM D]

10. I remember her MSNBC days when she

constantly trashed Hillary.

[relayerbob]

14. She's an idiot

He does that and the GOP wins.

Period.

edited: Again

Enough of the nasty old white farts screaming at us about what we have to believe. I'm sick of it. Don't you get enough of that from the Shite House already?

We need an ADULT in the Presidency

[George II]

15. Weren't those unity rules BS' idea in the first place? He sure rubbed it in when he was the first...

...to agree to them and then cajoled the other candidates to agree to them too.

[Cha]

16. Yeah.. not sure where KB has been that she hasn't

noticed BS' campaign.. and that he was "the very first Ever to sign the ol "bogus unity rules". ???!!

[oasis]

19. No more Mr. Nice Guy.

[Cha]

21. ..

is right!

oasis

[BlueMississippi]

26. That made me spit my coffee

hahahahahahahaha

[Blue_true]

42. "Biden, Warren, those are nice looking campaign you have there, would be too bad if something

happened to them". "You feel me?" "Now, my man Killer Mike is called Killer Mike for a reason, we talked about it over a plate of soul food".

[oasis]

44. Killer Mike has never killed anything except what was left

of his lackluster career.

[OldRed2450]

22. "The people will love it"

Who? Trump voters?

[Cha]

45. ..

Yeah, who is Ball speaking for? Not Democrats.

We're(mostly) united against trump

[OldRed2450]

46. Hi Cha, what is the opposite of love and unity?

Anger, hate and division... Why would anyone want that for us? Especially at a time when anger and division has been pushed by Trump for 3 years. Call me crazy but I think the country needs healing now more than ever. Is she a campaign surrogate for Bernie? She is at the least a high profile supporter. Bernie should speak out against it. I hope journalist ask him if he agrees with her.

[Cha]

47. You're absolutely right, OldRed.. our country

does need healing and unity now more than ever.

Pushing for "angrier and division" is exactly what got us into this mess in the first place.

Krystal Ball blew it afaic.

[BlueMississippi]

23. Won't work in 2020 although it worked before

Democrats have become wise -- and they're taking their votes elsewhere.

If anything, angry and divisive rhetoric will make him sink further. (Which is not necessarily a bad thing )

[Cha]

51. It 's not working now.. so what does

K Ball say.. double down!

Mahalo, BlueMississippi

[NYMinute]

27. That woman is scary

She wants to be Sarandon!

[Cha]

62. She wants BS to be "angrier and

more divisive".. Worst Advice EVER!

[PhoenixDem]

28. More angry?

The campaign is already off the scale in anger. Any more anger means they'll have to start breaking dishes and throwing chairs on national TV.

[Cha]

71. This didn't age well from the get-go.

[PhoenixDem]

72. Anger never ages well

It affects the angry person far more than the ones they are angry with.

[TidalWave46]

29. His team hasn't been angry and divisive?

It would be a huge mistake if he started doing his own dirty work. He hired these people for a reason.

[Tarheel_Dem]

31. It's not hard to see why Ms. Ball has been relegated to the internet.

[Cha]

49. This tweet is insane! I couldn't

believe my eyes.. but I posted it anyway.

Tarheel!

[honest.abe]

32. If Team Sanders wants a Democrat to beat Trump..

they will follow legitimate unity rules and join forces with the good guys and work together to win. There is no other way. The alternative is doom.

[Dem4Life1102]

33. She's an idiot who needs to go away

Division on the left only helps the right just as it did in 1930s Germany.

[betsuni]

34. Excellent advice!

There hasn't been nearly enough insulting, name calling, accusations of corruption and paranoid conspiracies. More of that! And more scaring people by telling them Bernie is the only one who can save us, otherwise, tens of millions will die! More blaming Democrats for what Republicans do! More ignorance and anger and hate and fear and division! We love it! After all, the Democratic Party is the real enemy.

This is nutty.

[Cha]

36. lol.. Go "Divisive" K Ball!

[Tarheel_Dem]

37. It's no joking matter, but you made me lol.

[highplainsdem]

35. She's getting worse all the time. Sigh.

Thanks for keeping tabs on her for us, Cha! I can't stand to watch her little show at The Hill.

[mcar]

38. You mean the "bogus unity rules" he happily signed?

[Cha]

39. Exactly, mcar.. K Ball needs to ask herself..

If the "unity rules" were so damn "bogus".. Why did BS sign them in the first place and Big Time Tout that he was the first?!

Riddle me that, Ball?

Heh, mcar

[TSIAS]

50. Krystal Ball is excellent

I listen to her on YouTube every day. She's quite good since she broke free from the shackles of MSNBC. You hear from a lot of intelligent voices like Kyle Kulinski, Michael Brooks, and Matt Taibii on that program.

[Cha]

52. Oh hell NO.

[betsuni]

53. One cannot call oneself a journalist if one calls Democrats like Warren "wealthy white neoliberals."

Ridiculous.

[Cha]

54. Which one was that.. Ball?!

and omfreakingog!

[betsuni]

55. Yes.

Said "fawning coverage of candidates who are currently fashionable among wealthy white neoliberals." But if pressed to define what the hell a "neoliberal" is and why they would support Warren, I'm sure Ball couldn't say what it is. Not a journalist.

[Cha]

56. Well isn't she special.. got all

the little insulting buzzwords down that only "angrier and divisive" "journalists" spout.

lol@neoliberal.. that's one of the dirtiest insults they can come up with, I gather. I think it's so bad that I can almost see the hiss come off the word on the screen. So much worse than "establishment".

[NurseJackie]

70. "I'm sure Ball couldn't say what it is. Not a journalist. "

I'm sure Ball couldn't say what it is. Not a journalist.

Is Nina Turner's job in danger?

[Me.]

58. She's In It For The Money

Just ask Tim Ryan

[Cha]

59. Tim Ryan? What does

he know about it?

Me

[Me.]

60. THe People's House Project

was a group they put together when he was trying to oust Nancy and they did fundraising but the only person to receive any money was her. If I remember correctly it was a PAC and she was president. Haven't heard it discussed in quite a while. And now here she is with BS with another of her brainstorms.

[Cha]

61. Oh wow! So she was

supportive of Ryan ousting Nancy? That was a loser.

Yes.. and now she's saying "get more divisive" .. "the people will love it."

[empedocles]

57. Still another long BS thread.

[Cha]

75. KICK krystal ball/more divisive..
