In reply to the discussion: I don't understand the Sanders' surrogates "post-Pete-dropout" strategy [View all]MerryBlooms
(12,125 posts)43. Yep, some pretty heinous shit from a very popular socialist podcast regarding Buttigieg...
The people in the crowd were angry, and Chapo Trap House wanted them to stay that way. The five hosts of the popular socialist podcast wanted everyone to know they had all been lied to. About everything. The media they consumed was fake news aimed to distract them from the only war worth fighting: the class war. Politesse, civility, even pleasure those were tools of the neoliberal oppressor. The right answer is rage.
That joy, the Chapo co-host Will Menaker said to the crowd gathered in Iowa City on the eve of the Iowa caucus. Thats good but its not as good a motivator when youre really going to war as spite.
Let the hate feed you, the co-host Amber ALee Frost added as the audience roared. And it does. Especially toward Democrats.
When Senator Elizabeth Warrens name came up, the crowd made the sound of a snake hissing. She had accused Senator Bernie Sanders of saying that a woman could not win against Donald Trump, and so she is a snake.
Supporters of former Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. are gelatinous 100 year olds. Former Mayor Pete Buttigieg is a bloodless asexual.
The gayest thing about him is he descends from an ethnic group thats like a little toy dog, Ms. ALee Frost said.

I'm pro M4A and reining in student debt, I started with Harris (still heartbroken she's out), then Warren... It's when I read the true colors come out of supporters for a candidate like that popular socialist podcast, it disgusts me. It's not a one-off, it's one of daily headlines. I don't want Sanders or the radical supporters anywhere near the Democratic Presidential ticket or our convention. The constant attacks and threats have no place in the fight for our lives. Sanders should have run third party Democratic Socialist ticket. Democratic Party would have survived it and the divisiveness wouldn't have been anywhere near what it has been and will continue to be. We cannot afford this constant shit stirring, and attacks within our own party! It's clear it's only going to get worse and this path is damning.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

That's a lie and you know it. Leftists have always been first to the right side of history.

We have different beliefs about history and reality, apparently. Thanks, but I disagree.

The opposition would hate Sanders no matter what. It's his ideology that scares rich people.

No, I am not kidding. Perhaps they finally had to defend themselves. I don't want to fight that

I'll be blunt about it: Turnout on the Democratic side will crater if Sanders isn't the nominee.

Re-read the original post. I was talking about Moore being a dick about Biden last night.

I think Biden people were the ones that wouldn't vote for Bernie in some cases.

Most ordinary working class people weren't supporting Pete and wouldn't if he were nominated.

Sanders is responsible for this. He runs his campaign in this manner. He respects no one.

Sanders made it clear he is clueless with women since 2015. Voting with vagina and PP establishment.

Those talking snark know Pete's supporters aren't going to Bernie, that it will help Biden.

It sometimes seems that many of Berne's supporters won't support any Democrat other than Bernie.

BS' supporters see themselves as first and foremost Bernie-ites, and see BS as the Dem-Alternative
