Sanders remarking that Clinton's close loss in 2016 speaks to the difficulty of getting a woman elected as president in a country as fucking sexist as America is plausible, but that's me finding context in he-said/she-said in which I incline to agree with Warren anyway because America is a fucking sexist country. Men -- I include myself -- have no idea how we come off when we hammer points at women.

Yes. One comment, apparently made during a private conversation between two politicians who were considering running for the same office, expressing a hunch about what might theoretically happen when the votes were cast about sixteen months in the future, really ought to be our focus of attention now. Because these things matter deeply to the fate of the na... uh, nope, nevermind.

Treesh, why is Warren responsible for what members of her campaign is doing when Bernie gets to go 'it's a large campaign, I can't control everyone' all the time?

It is however consistent with what his 2016 staff did to the Nevada Dem state chair.
These were just random loser supporters, I thought? Is there any evidence that any of Sanders's staff harassed or threatened the state chair?
Also, it is a matter of record that he encouraged Warren to run in 2016 before running himself, I thought?

Yeah, I don't think this needs to be read as some kind of devious stratagem by Warren. Maybe Sanders did, uncharacteristically, make some comment like this in private and some staffers heard about it and commented on it to CNN. Warren may well have not wanted it to become a public matter but, when pressed, did just acknowledge it and emphasize that she wants to move past it.

If you're a guy talking to a woman, without knowing the context of the conversation, this comment can be interpreted several ways, especially if body language is involved.

I think given everything else we know about Sanders, gyac's charitable read makes sense. I don't believe dude is a misogynist, but it was definitely a tone-deaf thing for him to say.

Whatâs wrong with just staying neutral on this one? We donât know the precise nuance of the original comment. It could have been as Warren described it or as Sanders described it.

― đ (crĂźt), Tuesday, 14 January 2020 13:45 (four years ago) link
My read wasnât charitable per se, but honestly I feel like he might have phrased it clumsily. It is a fact that sexism counts against female candidates and it will definitely factor into any female candidate in the presidential election, especially against someone whoâs weaponised misogyny and male resentment as totally as Trump. Thatâs not the same as saying â...so letâs play it safe and you donât bother standing, little lady.â

xp exactly, Simon
I'm not going to waste any of my progressively limited mental capacity on this junk because none of it changes what candidates are saying about policy, how they'd govern, and who they'd appoint to positions or nominate to their cabinet
overall, this has been a surprisingly clean race and it'll get less so, but digging through half-remembered anonymously-sourced conversations that only a handful of people were privy to is scraping the bottom of the barrel. I've had respectful interactions with a number of campaigns, and anyone working for them in any official capacity has been very cautious when speaking to prospective voters.
― babu frik fan account (mh), Tuesday, 14 January 2020 16:03 (four years ago) link
This speaks to my following point: Sanders handled the whole dumb thing like a professional politician. He put his chin up, said he respects his friend, etc., and got on with it. This panic from the other side is unwarranted. https://t.co/YXnnMqdNUQ— Richard M. Nixon (@dick_nixon) January 13, 2020
