I saw Warren's tweet as a polite "You don't know what you're talking about" but I guess she was chumming it up with Bill because BERNIE!!!

I re-read the tweet and it doesn't suggest that Bill have input, only that she'd meet him and explain her plan to him.

it was subtweeting of a hypothetical sanders tweet to be like "i wouldn't tax you like that bad bernie sanders" to bill gates.

i cringed at warren's tweet, but this is a very weird reason to favor one candidate over the other
when you're running for president, it's highly likely that you're going to have to meet and talk with some pretty awful ppl, and if ppl are actually "disgusted" that warren offered to meet with gates (rather than, i guess, calling for him to be shot and bayoneted), it's safe to say that at some point they're going to be horrified by someone bernie agrees to talk to

They won't be horrified because Bernie will talk to no one when he's president. He'll sit alone in the Oval Office growling.

Can't keep up with the xps but "I would love to tell you to your face exactly how much more I would make you pay in taxes" is not particularly chummy.

It's a meeting at first, but what is going to be said in the room? Warren is already saying it won't be that bad, she is ready and keen to sell out on anything she would tell the average voter.
― xyzzzz__, Thursday, 7 November 2019 18:41 (four years ago) link
this whole thing is also exceptionally stupid becaaaause
Earlier today Bill Gates in an interview said he doesn't like Elizabeth Warren's wealth tax because he thinks he will have to pay "$100 billion" and he will have to do "a little math"(?).That sounded wrong, so I did the math.Text version: https://t.co/4oeRFHW2Jx pic.twitter.com/jTmdMYskst— mcc (@mcclure111) November 7, 2019

We could instead talk about the actual Bernie announcement of the day
Sen. Bernie Sanders on Thursday released his comprehensive immigration plan, calling for a complete restructuring of the system through legislative action and a series of executive orders.On day one of his administration, the candidate for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination said, he would place a moratorium on deportations, end raids by Immigrations and Customs Enforcement, stop construction of the wall on the US-Mexico border, end family separations and shutter for-profit detention centers.Under his "A Welcoming and Safe America for All" plan, the Vermont independent indicated for the first time that he will reverse guidance from the Trump administration's Department of Justice and permit asylum claims from those fleeing domestic or gang violence. Sanders would also overturn Trump's so-called "public charge" rule and ensure that immigrants are not discriminated against based on income or disability, while extending temporary protected status until more permanent resolutions are in place, invalidating Trump's efforts to end those designations.

To get onside with people like Gates/entrepreneurs who have media access to bitch about things they don't like Warren is prepared let him have input in her tax plans?

I think it's great that Bernie advocates for meaningful change in a direct and aggressive manner but I don't think that Warren being a less strident face of similar policies is bad either

Warren is choosing to position in this race herself as somewhat less radical than Bernie. That suits both of them just fine. It suits me, too. Both of them are much more progressive than any candidates I've seen in my lifetime who have a real chance at victory. The most recent progressive equivalent who polled well enough to worry the rich was Jesse Jackson, and Sanders + Warren combined are far ahead of Jackson's numbers.

it was kinda weirdly left out of yesterday's dumping on Warren for her Gates tweet that she was responding to Gates saying that she probably wouldn't be willing to talk to him.

thing is, they have somewhat more of a point this time around; the fact that by most polls bernie sanders of all people is the second-most or even most electable democratic candidate (in terms of support, likelihood to beat trump, etc.) out of a field of very much more than two, should be far bigger news than it's being portrayed as
(I haven't really weighed in much because I go back and forth about whether I support sanders or warren more about once per day)
