Biden rips 'condescending' Democrats ... [View all] left-of-center2012 Nov 2019 OP

I guess he's getting a bit nervous lol. cwydro Nov 2019 #1

Joe's nervous to say the least... it's understandable!! InAbLuEsTaTe Nov 2019 #7

Yes melman Nov 2019 #23

I agree. cwydro Nov 2019 #31

Let's hope EW does not respond treestar Nov 2019 #58

Sure there was, from her perspective. He's the front-runner, but he trails the combined KPN Nov 2019 #69

They are not running with, but against each other. You can add up any candidate pairs, trios, or emmaverybo Nov 2019 #117

Well, I agree that she should not respond, and I hear what you're saying. cwydro Nov 2019 #75

Pardon me, but what? TexasTowelie Nov 2019 #129

Well post 1 implies at least treestar Nov 2019 #141

LOL! Joe nervous? TexasTowelie Nov 2019 #128

I'd imagine they're all nervous. cwydro Nov 2019 #145

Making another dig again? TexasTowelie Nov 2019 #149

Huh? cwydro Nov 2019 #151

You're slyly referring to Beto O'Rourke quitting the presidential race without mentioning his name. TexasTowelie Nov 2019 #152

Oh, well, ok. cwydro Nov 2019 #153

So you haven't seen the candidate groups listed on the front page of DU TexasTowelie Nov 2019 #154

Never served in any candidate or primary groups, sorry. cwydro Nov 2019 #155

Okay, I guess that I will have to take your word that you were naive about so many things happening TexasTowelie Nov 2019 #156

Oh that's rich. HerbChestnut Nov 2019 #2

Seriously!! Talk about irony!! InAbLuEsTaTe Nov 2019 #8

Obama said this in a more gentle manner but still he said it. Demsrule86 Nov 2019 #20

Indeed. Nancy has also offered some advice, or more accurately warning. M4All or bust, huh? emmaverybo Nov 2019 #121

Showing lack of confidence in your own party's decision making is weak. Magoo48 Nov 2019 #54

It's what center Purists do. MarcA Nov 2019 #118

Joe "give me a break" Biden TCJ70 Nov 2019 #3

A minute? InAbLuEsTaTe Nov 2019 #10

I'm very leery of words like: LakeArenal Nov 2019 #4

Yup, but of course the Biden bashers are all too willing to believe the hyperbole still_one Nov 2019 #9

Did he direct any of his remarks at fellow Democrats? Magoo48 Nov 2019 #59

Listening to what he said on the news this morning it seemed to me he was attacking other Dems. JudyM Nov 2019 #32

Sanders and Warren have been attacking Biden. So I am not surprised Biden's pushing back. emulatorloo Nov 2019 #34

Yeah but using/validating a key rethug talking point? That's very different, and very detrimental JudyM Nov 2019 #39

Warren insinuated recently that Biden should be running as a Republican emulatorloo Nov 2019 #42

Those statements aren't going to be echoed in republican ads as reinforcing their talking points. JudyM Nov 2019 #49

Trump will portray Biden as a evil socialist/communist emulatorloo Nov 2019 #53

Not sure what you mean... did another candidate say that about Biden? JudyM Nov 2019 #56

RNC will frame any Dem candidate as a socialist. That's their playbook emulatorloo Nov 2019 #61

Ok. This is a different situation: Biden just handed them a video clip for an attack ad. JudyM Nov 2019 #62

It doesn't fit the RNC narrative though. So I personally don't see them using it. emulatorloo Nov 2019 #70

Yes it does melman Nov 2019 #78

Sad to me that it seems like Biden is intentionally using their talking point to attack her. JudyM Nov 2019 #147

Biden sure did!! InAbLuEsTaTe Nov 2019 #109

Warren shouldn't attack Biden then...can't have your cake and eat it too. Demsrule86 Nov 2019 #144

I went to Fox to see how their suffering was progressing after the big loss for Trump last night... Demsrule86 Nov 2019 #82

That's a different issue. The issue here is the use of the term "elitist." JudyM Nov 2019 #102

Warren said Joe was running in the wrong primary...she should expect push back. And M4A is Demsrule86 Nov 2019 #124

Biden warned on Oct16 that Warren is conning like Trump blm Nov 2019 #111

All three front runners are throwing punches. I don't like it, but it isn't surprising me emulatorloo Nov 2019 #123

Yeah clickbait headlines are bad. emulatorloo Nov 2019 #47

Joe's... pfeiffer Nov 2019 #5

Umm.... LovingA2andMI Nov 2019 #14

lol. Dark n Stormy Knight Nov 2019 #107

Yet another (supposedly) Biden supporter newbie MarcA Nov 2019 #120

Calling someone "elitist" sounds Republican to me. JoeOtterbein Nov 2019 #6

So much for the pledge!! InAbLuEsTaTe Nov 2019 #11

Sanders and Warren have been attacking Biden. So of course he will push back. emulatorloo Nov 2019 #17

It sure as hell does melman Nov 2019 #18

So I guess you agree with Warren that Biden should be running in the republican primary. George II Nov 2019 #28

Do you? melman Nov 2019 #48

Sorry..... George II Nov 2019 #79

Do you? InAbLuEsTaTe Nov 2019 #89

No melman Nov 2019 #94

That's how you know you're winning the argument!! InAbLuEsTaTe Nov 2019 #104

When one is posed perhaps a serious answer would be forthcoming..... George II Nov 2019 #101

Hearing that term from him on the news this morning was like a punch in the gut. JudyM Nov 2019 #33

I felt the same this morning. We did not need that on the day we should be celebrating instead. JoeOtterbein Nov 2019 #41

Exactly! It deflated the joy, at least for me. JudyM Nov 2019 #45

"Punch in the gut" is right!! Guess if you're Joe, desperate times call for desperate measures. InAbLuEsTaTe Nov 2019 #97

Sounds almost as Republican as blaming the media for a candidate's poor performance. LanternWaste Nov 2019 #63

That word has been used on Democrats like Biden for years from certain camps. This from 2015... George II Nov 2019 #81

Calling a Democrat a Republican sounds like a cheap shot to me mcar Nov 2019 #87

Agreed! Who is more elisitst than Rs? Dark n Stormy Knight Nov 2019 #108

What's Condescening.... LovingA2andMI Nov 2019 #12

It is a show of strength...he is fining his voice...and Warren started it by accusing him Demsrule86 Nov 2019 #26

Pretty obvious... but, had to be expected once Joe started losing his mo'. InAbLuEsTaTe Nov 2019 #91

Biden noting that some of the EW/BS supporters are unwilling to recognize empedocles Nov 2019 #13

good let's go Joe ! stonecutter357 Nov 2019 #15

Condescending Democrats? BeyondGeography Nov 2019 #16

Sadly nowhere in that article is the word "condescending" or a variation of it anywhere.... George II Nov 2019 #19

Attacking other Dems or the Dem voting base is not a path to victory. LonePirate Nov 2019 #21

Did you say that when Warren attacked Biden last week? George II Nov 2019 #25

I agree and Some other candidates should stop suggesting that if you are not for M4A Demsrule86 Nov 2019 #30

You got that right! Last debate, Warren did not field challenges well from other candidates or emmaverybo Nov 2019 #80

They will use the M4A as a means to take down the ACA...and we will have nothing and to take down Demsrule86 Nov 2019 #83

Biden has said he will protect and build on Obamacare and work against Republican efforts to emmaverybo Nov 2019 #95

This is why he must be the nominee... Demsrule86 Nov 2019 #135

Pretending your candidate is innocent of the same action is not a path either. LanternWaste Nov 2019 #65

I freely admit Warren should not have said that. Where's your disapproval of these Biden remarks? LonePirate Nov 2019 #74

Cue the crickets... chirp... chirp... InAbLuEsTaTe Nov 2019 #112

Not a good look for Joe...he should stick to the issues InAbLuEsTaTe Nov 2019 #98

I So LOve It When Dems Kick Other DEms Me. Nov 2019 #22

Yes, esply in front of "deep-pocketed Democratic donors, politicians and real estate executives," InAbLuEsTaTe Nov 2019 #99

Frankly I am disappointed in both Warren and Biden on these comments Raven123 Nov 2019 #24

Is this Democrat bashing? Hassin Bin Sober Nov 2019 #27

Is this? emulatorloo Nov 2019 #35

Not when you read everything he said, no. n/t whathehell Nov 2019 #37

Appreciate the reply n/t emulatorloo Nov 2019 #40

Is this whataboutism? Yes. Yes it is. Hassin Bin Sober Nov 2019 #51

Nah, it's proof that the top three candidates are throwing punches at each other. emulatorloo Nov 2019 #55

I'd pretend holding your own to a lower standard is "whataboutism" as well. LanternWaste Nov 2019 #68

BINGOOOOOOO!!! InAbLuEsTaTe Nov 2019 #100

Yep. I like Biden's personality & I'lll vote for him if he's nominated whathehell Nov 2019 #114

Fuck that.You want to get on someone for "only fairly recently" becoming a Democrat it's not Warren. MrsCoffee Nov 2019 #43

Can't sink any more than Harris did LakeArenal Nov 2019 #72

Why would he sink because he criticizes Warren? I think this notion works the other way around. emmaverybo Nov 2019 #137

Sounds a little hypocritical Jakes Progress Nov 2019 #44

Not what he and by the way Obama said...he said it is elitist to expect all Democrats to agree with Demsrule86 Nov 2019 #52

Do you follow Biden's campaign? Jakes Progress Nov 2019 #60

Obama said Democrats had to be careful about purity Demsrule86 Nov 2019 #84

So you can't. Jakes Progress Nov 2019 #157

Okay then. Autumn Nov 2019 #50

Yeah, I want someone who works with fellow Democrats on behalf of fellow Democrats... InAbLuEsTaTe Nov 2019 #96

Telling the other side to fuck off? Great idea! That will accomplish a lot redstateblues Nov 2019 #130
