Which is worse?

[backtoblue]

Alluding that a fellow candidate is acting like a Republican. (Warren's statement from today)

Or alluding that a fellow candidate is acting like Trump.
(Biden earlier this month)

Both Biden and Warren have made some attacks. They were both wrong. This is ugly and this Primary just sucked a bit of wind out of me.



Important edit: blue no matter who

1. It was worse than "acting like a republican", it was "he's running in the wrong primary".

[backtoblue]

2. Ok, isnt that what Republicans do?

Run in Republican primaries? Are they both not wrong on this?

[George II]

5. Do I read that correctly, you're saying that Biden is a republican and should run in their primary?

[backtoblue]

6. Not remotely what I said and you should know better

I obviously didnt agree with either attack.

3. We're about three month still

from the first votes in Iowa, I take this as a sign that things are going to get really messy for awhile.

4. I agree

Whatever mud gets slung, they're going to need each other's supporters if they get the nomination.

7. Worse is refusing to vote,

or casting a purely symbolic vote.

8. Amen amen amen

11. Yes. NT

9. It is a bad look. I wish that they had stayed away from the more personal attacks.

Honestly, it is becoming clearer that Warren and Sanders being in the race together is helping Biden. Their combined polling exceeds his, but their individual polls are falling behind his. Warren's upward momentum appears to have halted.

12. I think shes plateaued for a minute

It will be interesting to see who each of their supporters go to

[TidalWave46]

10. I think this might be more strategic than people are giving Warren credit for.

Many Sanders supporters like his fire and often used hyperbole. I don’t see Warren losing current support over this. I do think Sanders supporters will like it as they jump ship and look for another candidate.

Get ready for this type of thing. We have already seen it more often than is mentioned in the op. Our candidates are running on very good healthcare platforms but there is a vast difference. The looser will not be setting policy. The name of the game is to win.

13. Thanks, interesting take

I dont think shes gained nor lost right now

[redqueen]

14. I dunno. All of that stuff is a major turnoff for most anyone other than their supporters

There are exceptions of course but for the most part it's just not a good look.

Yes, blue no matter who. But our votes won't be what cinches this election. We need to get votes from that other 30% and from the majority who stay home, unmotivated and unconvinced that anyone in DC really cares.
