Hillary shouldn't have attacked Bernie. Tlaib shouldn't have booed Hillary for it.

People on twitter shouldn't attack Tlaib for booing Hillary for attacking Bernie.
And other people on twitter shouldn't attack the people attacking Tlaib for booing Hillary for attacking Bernie.

Instead, everyone should take a step back and de-escalate. These fights don't help anyone but Trump.


ON EDIT: Thank you Rashida Tlaib for taking the high road on this and apologizing. Classy move, shows we can and will unite as a party.

Supporting ie: campaigning for is one thing. She is a Democrat and she will indeed vote for the Democratic nominee, I have no doubt.

Bernie Sanders Is Spoiling for a Fight With the DNC



https://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2020/jan/09/bernie-sanders/did-biden-laud-paul-ryan-proposal-cut-social-secur/

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — As a congressman in the 1990s, Bernie Sanders expressed an openness to making “adjustments” to the tax and benefit structure of Social Security. He also praised an overhaul of the social safety net program signed into law by President Ronald Reagan that reduced benefits and increased taxes on working families.

Sanders’ presidential campaign and allies have highlighted similar remarks by Joe Biden to attack the former vice president and make the explosive charge that Biden was an outspoken proponent of slashing the program.

Sanders camp admits anti-Warren script was deployed in multiple early states

Sanders initially attributed the talking points to rogue staffers, and supporters launched an online campaign to convince people the document was fake.

[ripcord]

88. I'm trying to figure out what the big deal is

Hillary attacked one of the candidates in a very petty way and one of that candidates supporters gave her reaction. Hillary isn't a candidate so attacking her isn't that big a deal, if she is going to shoot off her mouth in an irresponsible way then she has to expect people to react.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

110. I agree with you, cept Tlaib's sayin the WORD "boo" - and splainin why - is hardly an ATTACK!!

Certainly NOTHING compared to the harsh words Hillary had for Bernie.


Bernie/Elizabeth or Elizabeth/Bernie 2020!!

[DanTex]

14. Or Hillary. The problem is, when nobody de-escalates, it's just gets worse.

Both were wrong. Hillary shouldn't have attacked Bernie. Tlaib shouldn't have escalated with the booing. Instead she should have just said nothing, or maybe that Hillary was wrong but lets move on.

[DURHAM D]

20. This is performance art for Tlaib and

her mouth and her lack of impulse control is her enemy.

I hope she is primaried.

[sheshe2]

33. Thank the goddess that Ayanna Pressley...

Stepped away from them. She has more courage and determination to change this world than the rest of the squad.

She exposed herself the other day, bared her naked soul and head to the world. Her courage leaves me breathless. She does not need to take pot shots at other women, she knows who she is and is proud of it. I am sure she has been through years of bullying and hatred.

She is one amazing woman.

63. This!

This "do as I say, not as I do" stuff has gotten old.

[Gothmog]

56. Clinton was mentioning the booing of John Lewis and Michelle Obama

That conduct was wrong

Link to tweet

And then she declared that she was "with her."

"I am here tonight because in this election, there is only one person who I trust with [the responsibility of the presidency,]" she said. "Only one person who I believe is truly qualified to be president of the United States. And that is our friend, Hillary Clinton."

Obama was not immune from boos. Sanders supporters booed and began chanting "Bernie! Bernie!" as Obama endorsed Clinton.

Obama seemed to acknowledge them, saying that when Hillary Clinton lost against her husband in 2008, she didn't get "angry or disillusioned."

"Hillary did not pack up and go home, because as a true public servant, Hillary knows this is so much bigger than her own desires and disappointments."

[DanTex]

57. That was wrong. Saying "nobody likes him" about Bernie was also wrong.

Saying that Bernie's supporters "got sucked in" was also wrong.

All this Dems attacking Dems stuff is totally counterproductive. Tlaib apologized. Hillary should too. And everyone should stop doing this.

[Gothmog]

59. That was NOT an apology

Tlaib's non apology will so weak that it was sad

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

85. Exactly! Now that Tlaib has apologized to Hillary, it's Hillary's turn to apologize to Bernie!!

It's WAY overdue - should've been done IMMEDIATELY after Hillary's comments came out, instead of her doubling down - so, even now, it would look like she was pressured into it. But, Hillary should still apologizing anyway... would be a smart political move.

28. Neither is Tlaib. The only person who attacked a candidate in this was Hillary.

You're right. When his surrogates do things like that, then it will make it harder for some Dems to vote for Bernie if he wins the nom.

And when Hillary does things like that, it will make it harder for some Bernie supporters to vote D if Bernie doesn't win the nom.

All of this stuff is bad.

[AlexSFCA]

43. I love HRC but this is not going well

there is probably 1/3 of democratic voters who genuinely like Bernie. Unlike Bernie, Hillary is a uniter so I don’t understand her remarks, she should 100% commit to supporting the eventual nominee, period. It is one thing about Gabbard which was very important to do as she may have prevented russian intelligence service plans for tulsi. Look at what’s happening with polls in California where Bernie’s popularity is rising. I am very disappointed that Biden’s campaign doesn’t have 1/10th of energy that Bernie and his supporters are putting in. In a race like this, it is not unreasonable to assume that BS may win Iowa, NH, NV, CA, MI, WI, PA, MN, etc. Even if Biden may eventually win the nomination, the primary will drag on all the way to the convention leaving us even more divided than in 2016. With trump getting quickly aquitted in the senate, we are looking at uphill battle. There will be no limit to trump’s violations, no crime is too big.

[DanTex]

50. Thank you Rashida Tlaib for taking the high road on this.

[Gothmog]

53. That was not an apology

This will cost sanders votes in the real world

[NurseJackie]

72. High road? GMAFB! That was not a genuine apology.

It struck me as being self-serving, insincere and passive-aggressive. I'm reminded of the "I'm sorry you were offended" political non-apologies that we hear so often. Obviously, those weren't the words used, but I feel like it came from the same place of pride rather than being contrite or feelings of heartfelt regret or remorse. Sigh.

All I'm saying is that it was a disappointment both times. The follow-up didn't really help. I just think we should demand more from our elected leaders.

[DanTex]

73. Well, to you, yeah, but your feelings about Bernie and anything he's associated with it are clear.

[NurseJackie]

90. I guess I just have higher standards. I'm not inclined to give trophies and...

I guess I just have higher standards. I'm not inclined to give trophies and hand out high praise for minimal effort and obvious self-serving insincerity.

I blame Youth Soccer for this culture of permissiveness and "everyone's a winner just for showing up".

[Gothmog]

52. I was at the National Convention as a pledged delegate and I saw what happened

Normally going to a national convention is a once in a life time experience. I have worked really hard inside the party on campaigns and voter protection issues for a very long time to earn this trip. Too bad that sanders and his vetted delegates ruined that experience and did their best to help trump. A candidate has absolute approval rights over their pledged delegates because these delegates can change their votes and these delegates represent the candidate and campaign. I helped vet Clinton delegates and I know that I was vetted. The Clinton campaign told us that we represent her and that our actions would reflect on her and her campaign.

In contrast, sanders sent one very weak text the Sunday night before the convention and then did little or nothing to control his delegates. It was nasty I was there when the sanders delegates booed Congressman John Lewis. I was warned about this stunt 30 minutes before it happened by the Clinton campaign whip. According to my whip, sanders was asked to stop this event and declined. That incident will be used against sanders if he runs in 2020.

I was at the Texas delegation breakfast when a group of sanders delegates marched in and demanded that we condemn Clinton and change our votes to sanders.

sanders spoke to the Texas delegation the next morning and his speech was again solely about himself. There was a mini-riot due to his delegates the prior morning and the only thing that sanders talked about was himself. sanders did nothing to deal with the fact that his delegates were out of control and did nothing to try to help Hillary Clinton win the general election.

Finally a group of sanders delegates yelled at my daughter and called her the c-Word because she would not try to get me to change my vote. Again sanders was asked to tell his delegates to behave during the convention and sanders refused

[DanTex]

55. The actions of some people during the 2016 Convention were horrible.

The booing and shouting at Democrats on stage was awful. Let's not have that happen again. Instead of ramping up tensions, people should ramp them down, like Tlaib did with her apology. It was a classy move.

[Gothmog]

58. Look at what happened last night

Talib needs to issue a real and not fake apology. sanders will not get any significant African American support if he is somehow the nominee. Russia will use the booing of John Lewis, Elijah Cummings, Stacy Abrams and Michele Obama to suppress African American vote and no Democrat can win without that vote

Link to tweet

sanders needs to make a real apology to Clinton, John Lewis, the widow of Elijah Cummings and others if he wants to get support

[DanTex]

60. Tlaib already did issue an apology. The only apology we need now is from Hillary.

Then both sides will have stepped back from the ledge, and we can put this dispute behind us.

[Gothmog]

61. That was NOT an apology in the real world

Clinton was correct in her comments about sanders

[DanTex]

62. It was an excellent, heartfelt, classy apology.

Clinton was obviously wrong that "nobody likes Bernie". But even if she thinks she's right about it, she should still apologize, because it's an inappropriate attack on a Democratic presidential candidate.

98. Yes, he did 39 events for her. But even that doesn't stop Bernie-haters from hating.

There was less cross-over voting from Bernie supporters in 2016 than from Hillary voters in 2008. Thanks in large part's to Bernie's efforts.

[NurseJackie]

100. Actually... he was completely silent... for WEEKS!!

Immediately after the convention, BS had a golden opportunity to show true leadership and help to bring people together during those critical weeks. Instead, he was completely silent... for WEEKS!!

Instead of helping to soothe hurt feelings, in those important moments immediately following the convention. Instead of setting a good example and leading the way... he allowed people to wallow in their own anger and remorse. Those feelings became toxic and resentful to the point of acting-out or feeling the need for "revenge".

Why would he allow that to happen? Was he completely oblivious? Did he simply not care?

Hillary is absolutely correct in her observations. These things that happened after the convention are historical fact. Bernie was absent and silent. We don't know what his motivations were for being absent, or why he believed that writing a book was more important than accepting what should have been his role in creating unity.

That's not what real and skilled leaders do. It's really a shame.

[DanTex]

102. And despite all the complaints, there was less cross-over voting than 2008.

Seems like real and skilled leadership to me. At least compared to 2008, it sure was.

[NurseJackie]

105. Oh brother.

Seems like real and skilled leadership to me.

Oh brother. GMAFB! What an absurd thing to say. There was no "real and skilled leadership"... because he was ABSENT and SILENT. He did absolutely NOTHING to promote healing and unity in those crucial weeks immediately after the convention. That's what someone does when they're pouting and licking their wounds. A real leader is someone who knows how to NOT put their own egos first.

He had a golden opportunity, and he blew it. Pity.

[DanTex]

107. And, yet, less cross-over voting. How do you explain that?

[NurseJackie]

I've received non-apologies like that in the past (long long ago past) from my abusive ex. He'd apologize because I made him mad enough to hit me. If only I had kept my mouth shut (or not looked at him the wrong way) he wouldn't have had to hit me, and so he's sorry about that.

[Gothmog]

[polichick]

78. Clinton is reliving the last primary - if people post her comments...

others will respond in reference to that primary too.

[lapucelle]

81. No she's not. Her comments were about the general election. N/T

[Autumn]

86. Her comments were about the GE. Hillary should know that what she said was inflammatory.

Other than the fact that Bernie is gaining traction, I don't get why she felt the need to go there at this time. We must all unify to beat Trump. Especially now.

[NurseJackie]

116. Hillary knows.

I don't get why she felt the need to go there at this time.

Because she knows in her heart that he lacks the leadership skills, the demeanor and temperament that our nation needs. Hillary knows that when someone chooses to remain SILENT and pout FOR WEEKS after the convention, they're not showing leadership.

[Autumn]

118. Then she should say that, she also knows that when she goes after him some of his supporters will

push back. I question why people want to turn off young people who are now paying attention.

[NurseJackie]

122. When was that ever denied?

Then she should say that.

She also knows that when she goes after him some of his supporters will push back.

When was that ever denied? Frankly, I'm delighted and grateful that she's speaking out and shining a light on her views that Bernie wouldn't be an effective leader. It's perfectly valid to point out that he was silent and absent during the crucial few weeks after the convention where he could have made a difference in soothing the tensions and hurt feelings among his supporters. By not saying anything, they were left to wallow in their own self-pity and their feelings of resentment and desire for revenge grew and grew. How could he not know what was going on around him? How could he be totally unaware? Either he didn't know, or he didn't care... whichever one it is, it's not at all flattering about his ability to rise to the occasion and to be a real leader.

All I'm saying is, that Hillary has the right (and is right) in bringing this up now, because it's a "forgotten" and little discussed aspect about what happened after the convention... and every indicator suggests that we're in for a repeat. Forewarned is forearmed.

[Autumn]

123. Yes forewarned is forearmed. Those days are past. This is now. Now I'm done with our conversation.

[NurseJackie]

124. Yet nothing has changed, has it?

Those days are past. This is now.

Yet nothing has changed, has it? Hillary knows exactly how this is going to turn out and she's doing her best to help us avoid it by reminding us of the leadership qualities that are necessary from the losing side too. After the convention, Bernie disappeared. Silent and absent for WEEKS! A golden opportunity to promote unity and it was used to pout.

Now I'm done with our conversation.

I imagine it must be frustrating to try and argue from a position of weakness.

Oh well... see ya!

[George II]

128. How many young people and how many of the 65 million people who voted for Clinton....

....were turned off by this?

[LonePirate]

84. Bernie's crew needs to ignore Hillary and focus on defeating 45. No need to rehash 2016.

[SMC22307]

89. God Almighty, can we PLEASE not make 2020 about Hillary Clinton?

Not you personally, the Democratic Party. I've had it up to my eyeballs with the Clintons, Other prominent Democrats have faded into the background, why is that so hard for Hillary? Or at least stop saying stupid shit that gets people riled up! Do people not understand how high the stakes are for November 2020?

[lapucelle]

119. Why hasn't HRC "faded into the background"? Probably because people don't want her to.

A documentary on her life premiered at the Sundance Film Festival last week, so of course there's interest in what she said last year when it was filmed and in what she has to say now. Get used to it. The documentary will be shown in four parts on Hulu.


*****************************************************************************************



******************************************************************************************

Earlier last month when she was appointed chancellor of Queens University, Belfast, she showed up to accept the honor, much to the chagrin of those who have deemed it more appropriate for her to simply fade away.

****************************************************************************************



******************************************************************************************

By the way, at the time of the filming of the documentary, HRC was asked for her honest perspective on and appraisal of many different events and people, BS among them.

Expressing a candid and informed opinion when asked a direct question during an interview that will be of interest to future historians isn't "saying stupid shit". It's speaking for the record and putting potentially toxic factions on notice.

[ehrnst]

135. Also, she should smile more.

137. Barack Obama's smart enough to stay out.

Why is it so difficult for Hillary? DU seems to reject how polarizing she is to many voters. PA, MI and WI are MUST WINS in November -- we don't need the ghost of Hillary Clinton looming over the election.

99. Hillary was only

speaking truth, NOT attacking.

There IS a difference.

Tlaib was LEADING the booing. And her "apology" is pretty half-a**ed, IMO.

Plus, BS's surrogates continue to act against MY candidate.

Bernie is dead to me in the primaries.

121. Yes, Hillary was asked a question

And she answered it. Her answer I am in 100 percent agreement with. The attempt by the OP at whataboutism aside.

133. There's been a lot of that

"whataboutism" by some here. What a shame!

111. Fortunatly 90% of DU does not support Senator Sanders.

If only the "vocal minority" could sway more support...

125. Factual and frank criticism is not an attack. Hillary was just

telling the truth. And it's about time someone told the truth about Sanders.

127. i find this episode of American democratic politics totally irrelevant.

132. For every comment re: Bernie Sanders by Hillary Clinton ( who has served the Democratic Party for

decades and has thus earned her opinion), there are a dozen comments from that same Bernie Sanders attacking and belittling the Democratic party. I'm with her.

134. The attack on Hillary Clinton were inappropriate and disgusting

142. Sacred Cows are never criticized... only attacked.

Calling it an attack is divisive.

But I get it... indicting others for our own failures is becoming a standard. That doesn't "help anyone but Trump."

As for some more word salad... "people attacking people for attacking people shouldn't be attacked by people... that's an attack. And it's divisive!!!!"
