It’s transparently a tactical smear so it’s dumb for her to act aghast that he “called her a liar.”

Just stop, treeship. In your worst case scenario, Warren is perhaps not giving all the beneficial context to Sanders. But if it's worst case, then Sanders is explicitly lying about it. How the heck is it then still Warren who is the bad person here for you?

been stewing on this and the most charitable reading is that Sanders inartfully voiced reasonable concerns about the way Trump would weaponize gender in 2020. but Warren et al have clearly decided to go the bad faith route so... I’m kinda like fuck that shit and doubling down on Bernie contributions and going to commit to making calls. yes I’ll still vote for her in the general even if GA isn’t a swing state, but this is fucking gross.

I don’t think anyone’s a liar, but someone as savvy as Warren knew exactly how this would be fanned in the media.like if you think your policies are better for working ppl then stand on that. but ‘Bernie did a sexism at me two years ago and I just kept it to myself until my polls numbers started slipping’ is just smdh

Whats the consensus here on whether this incident is good or bad for Warren's campaign?
― anvil, Thursday, 16 January 2020 18:18 (four years ago) link
Well, it’s Nate Silver but...
In our poll, Warren's numbers on electability improved last night. Guess who else's improved the most? Klobuchar. So getting that discussion out in the open may well have been helpful to her vs. voters holding an implicit bias against women candidates. https://t.co/OmPf5KSeuO— Nate Silver (@NateSilver538) January 15, 2020
― JoeStork, Thursday, 16 January 2020 18:23 (four years ago) link
Klobuchar is still running? kudos.
If Warren gains any from this, can only really see it from Mayor Pete voters not Bernie voters, unless I'm reading it wrong?

ie they are now lying to protect the threat to their profits

I know this won't be a popular thing to say, but hear me out. It seems reasonable to assert that Bernie may be less willing to compromise than some other candidates in order to get things done. Case in point: he refuses to back the USMCA trade agreement, one of the few compromises worked about between Republicans and Democrats in this Congress, despite saying it was an improvement on the existing deal. Even Warren was willing to back it. Now that may just be one data point and I'm sure a case could be made that he's right do so, but it's suggestive of an approach that differs a bit from other candidates.
― o. nate, Monday, 20 January 2020 17:13 (four years ago) link
I think it's fair to say his view is different from other candidates on a lot of things. That said, I'm all for not backing "major" trade agreements that don't even mention climate change, let alone take steps to tackle it.
― bold caucasian eroticism (Simon H.), Monday, 20 January 2020 17:15 (four years ago) link
I think the difference between Bernie and others in congress known as negotiators/compromisers is that he has specific political goals and standards that he wouldn't compromise
I feel like a lot of the dealing done (especially in the Clinton era) came down to "well, we got rid of all that rancid bathwater, and we even kept half the baby!"
