Bernie is also free to fundraise off messages of unity.

Just like he was free to to just apologize for the non-story anyways and reiterate a message of unity there

Or how we're all free to focus on what matters instead of fundraising mails!

I literally just got a mail from bernie fundraising on the fact that Pete Buttigieg is playing too many television ads. But not gonna get upset over that. Because therre are far bigger stuff at play than stan fights over the contents of campaign emails getting a little nasty towards each other.

 

Why the fuck would he apologize

 

Cause that's what leaders do to diffuse situations?

 

That's the point, they know he won't lol they want to stack up attacks based on a bad faith Warren supporter who made the whole thing up, it's an excuse to go after him

 

Lol the irony crying about "bad faith attacks" but then trying to pin this all on a "Warren supporter who made the whole thing up"

 

it was literally a plant

 

Damn I thought Booker dropped out like 2 months ago

Time, it's wild

 

I don't really think the memo thing would've mattered, but since Warren accepted it at face value and said "I'm disappointed Bernie is doing factionalism like he did in 2016" it became a story that reporters asked him about, so now it's a real thing whether it deserves to be or not. She said that, by the way, before Bernie said anything about it and, if you believe that he found out about it shortly before he was asked about it like he said in his answer, before he even knew about it

 

Didn't even know he was running again, that's good

 

The NYT editorial board is apparently running their Booker interview last on Friday, which even if he didn’t just drop out is a bizarre spot for to put a guy polling so low

 

I remember seeing him at a refused show on their first tour back several years ago, cool dude (as far as I know)

 

Seems bad for Newark, ugh

 

It's worth pointing out a good amount of hrc folks work for her and look how hrc responded when she was losing to Barack. Everything is dumb. Ugh.

 

Booker had an actual track record to scare people away with

Pete is a blank slate they can project their ideals into

Also Pete's white

 

I can’t believe people are still talking about one of a thousand fundraising emails with the most absurd histrionics in the world like they have never read any campaign emails before. Jesus. So many people showing their asses about who can be ignored as not serious.
