The protesters at Biden's Detroit rally are Bernie supporters carrying anti-NAFTA signs

[highplainsdem]

according to tweets posted in the last few minutes on Twitter.

1. Paid protesters.

[George II]

7. $27 each.

[NYMinute]

21. and a free book

[C_U_L8R]

2. It's so sad Sanders is going out ugly

What a wasted legacy.

[redstatebluegirl]

41. This is the last hurrah for him, his "revolution" fizzled out.

I am not worried about his supporters staying home or voting for BS writing him in. With Biden we get the vast majority of independents and many moderate republicans who hate Trump. We can win with Joe even if the babies stay home.

[C_U_L8R]

43. The revolution was ok. The jerks weren't

[evertonfc]

3. they are a small, probably stoned, minority and

Tomorrow WE crush them.

[AlexSFCA]

4. BS campaign will be annihilated tomorrow

he will lose every single state. I predict Biden will easily get over 2,000 delegates when all is said and done. BS may not even get 15% threshold in Florida.
Sanders has become a caricature of himself.

[grantcart]

29. I agree, Florida is next week but it will be over tomorrow

Watching Sanders reminds me of those old prizefighters that could have gone out on top but never did.

[mcar]

5. Fck them

They didn't help their god.

[William769]

10. ...

[Demsrule86]

13. Such a stark contrast Biden talks unity and the Sanders folks show who they are yet again...

divisive and angry...Biden needs Secret Service protection IMHO...not saying Sander folks are dangerous but there some dangerous people out there. I don't like these protesters getting so close.

[nolabear]

6. Yes they are. They've been at at least one other rally. I recognized them.

[George II]

8. A couple of scummy looking guys, they took them off right in front of the camera.

[showblue22]

9. Biden called them "Bernie bros" lol

[Cha]

12. LOL GO JOE

[George II]

16. I heard that and fell off my chair.

[mcar]

17. He knew who they were

A sad statement on the end of Sanders campaign.

[showblue22]

18. LOL

I love Biden. It was funnier than hell. I need a good laugh. All the negative things being poured by you know who has me down.

[NYMinute]

22. That was precious

[highplainsdem]

11. Tweet with video of one of them being tossed out:

Link to tweet

[Cha]

15. That was Awesome! Seems to be my word of the day..

TY, hpd!

[Hav]

14. It was a nice event by Democrats

with positive messages. This is what the Dem party is. Of course, the bros are allergic to that because they aren't Democrats. Sanders tells them to despise the Democratic party pretty much on a daily basis and these deplorables are the result of that.

[Buzz cook]

19. NAFTA is very unpopular.

Its one of the ways Trump was able to attract labor voters.

Biden could distance himself from NAFTA without much difficulty. Blame Clinton for passing it and praise Pelosi for redrafting it. That puts himself against a currently unpopular politician and gets reflected glory for a currently popular one.
It also distances him from his own NAFTA vote.

[emmaverybo]

20. Oh then I guess they'd stop distorting his record, putting out edited video, lying, and accusing

Dems of hiding his dementia and him of “sun downing.” No. They wouldn’t.

[Buzz cook]

25. You should calm down.

What any democratic candidate does will have zero effect on the trolls right or left. Messaging isn't about converting hostile people. It is about people on the fence, either to keep them on the fence instead of your opponents side or to get them off the fence and on your side.
But more than that it is about the media. The media will always lean into a narrative that is negative for a democratic figure. See Clinton's emails in that regard.
The other point of messaging then is to keep the media from running a negative narrative and instead give them one that diverts.

Your responce was way over the top,

[ms liberty]

37. This. n/t

[NYMinute]

23. So why go and shit in Biden's rally?

Bernie's pro NRA stances are not popular but Democrats don't sent anti-gun protesters to his rallies do they?

[Buzz cook]

26. You guys have to stop the pity party.

Instead of crying foul about bad Bernie you should...well Biden and his campaign should disarm the attackers.

[LizBeth]

34. Disarm the attackers? Wtf? This is not how Democrats behave. Oh wait, Sanders isn't a Dem.

[NYMinute]

39. +++++

[Buzz cook]

44. You mean democrats don't

try to find political soluyions to problems?

[LanternWaste]

40. At this point, I have to believe you're simply making things up as you go along...

Your pretense that bemusement and amazement at the Tide-Pod Protesters is a 'pity party,' reflects more of your own thinking than it does anyone else.

[Buzz cook]

45. Impotent anger

is not bemusement. I suggest doing something useful and I get push back. Why is that? I have no idea.

[showblue22]

24. I live in MI

After seeing what Trump has done with trade and how USMCA is basically a little better than NAFTA, seeing what is happening with automation, people have been talking about embracing free trade. Railing on trade in MI is going to hurt Bernie. I promise.

[Buzz cook]

27. And Biden

Trump is going to tar Biden with the NAFTA brush. It might be a good idea for his campaign to get ahead of that.

[showblue22]

28. People here are not railing against trade.

Things have changed.

[pampango]

42. Workers and unions are 'talking about embracing free trade?

"... USMCA is basically a little better than NAFTA, seeing what is happening with automation, people have been talking about embracing free trade."

If workers and unions are embracing free trade that really is a sea change.

[Hortensis]

30. NAFTA is also considered positively and of great benefit

to more Americans than not, so has good support by educated people, and also by more tolerant sorts. Notably, Sanders' populism is nativism-lite and of course is hostile to "the establishment," so he draws various types who share the RW fear and resentment of trade agreements and want to pull up the drawbridges as soon as they pull down the government.

Biden isn't going to pander to that. Another reason Biden won't be joining Sanders and Trump in lying as SOP is that Biden's a naturally honest man who naturally appeals to people who respect truth and insist on honesty. To each pol his own schtick.

[Buzz cook]

31. Most Americans have no idea

what NAFTA is. Most of those that do, don't have a very nuance understanding of it.
https://thehill.com/policy/finance/400132-poll-fewer-than-1-in-3-americans-think-nafta-is-beneficial

Fewer than a third of Americans think the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) is good for the country, according to a new study that comes as the Trump administration pushes to renegotiate the free trade deal with Canada and Mexico.
A plurality of Americans, 36 percent, surveyed in a YouGov poll released by the Bertelsmann Foundation said it would be beneficial for the U.S. to leave NAFTA, compared to 30 percent who said it would not be beneficial

I disagree with your opinion on Biden's truthfulness.

[Hortensis]

32. That's so right. But those percentages shift dramatically

between times when no one's speaking about it and times when anti-NAFTA business interests, with some bill about to be introduced, get some group worked up and a demonstration covered by the media. Most are about as solid as butter left out.

Opinions on things like hard-to-understand economic policy that can be used to trigger nativist angers and victimization syndromes come down to a smart and informed thing versus a gut fear and mindless resentment thing, but with most people too uncaring to qualify for either.

As for disagreeing about Biden's basic honesty and truthfulness, no surprise. Again, some find truth imperative, some see it as a tool to be used and set aside when falsehood works better, and some believe truth is a matter of opinion.

[tirebiter]

33. NAFTA seems to be quite popular

to the juicebox revolutionaries with no legitaimare cause

[Buzz cook]

36. I don't understand your post. nt

.

[Recursion]

35. NAFTA is approved of by a majority of Democrats according to polling

And disapproved of by a majority of Republicans.

Most Americans remember the late 1990s economy pretty fondly.

[ismnotwasm]

46. Oh shit! I filled out my ballot for Biden for forgot to mail it

Thanks for the reminder! Today’s the last day for Washington state!
