*** OFFICIAL 2020 Democratic Presidential Nomination Race Thread ***

Uh, you realize that, unlike Trump's Twitter account, Hillary's account is rarely operated by her, right?

It's pretty common knowledge that her account is operated by assistants.

Or do you really believe that 71-year-old Hillary Clinton is a fan of Lizzo, and knew that song?

Personally I believe that an assistant saw that Lizzo tweet, knew the rest of the song, and brought the idea to Hillary. It very well might have been a passive-aggressive jab at Warren at the same time, as dish said. The two never liked each other, and this gives Hillary plausible deniability.

[SPIT this]

Tbh, I'm kinda surprised a balding man in his 50s knew who that was. Unless you just googled it really quickly

[Dan Druff]

It's pretty funny seeing all of the idiot Dems on social media get all excited about that Hillary tweet, as if Hillary is so hip, edgy, and clever.

Yeah, it's so cool that Hillary has young staffers writing that stuff for her.

Totally gives her that street cred, yo. She's not stiff or out of touch or anything.

I mean, none of this matters obviously, since Hillary is yesterday's news, but this whole thing is so textbook Democrat that it's not even funny.

It's so embarrassing watching them try so hard to be the cool, hip, edgy, youthful party, and then watching their idiot followers eat it up while thinking, "Wow, I'm glad I'm not one of those stuffed shirt conservatives!"

The whole thing is just so pathetic and phony.

The arrogance from the left just glows through like radioactive waste. They really believe themselves to be cooler, edgier, smarter, more educated, more compassionate, more logical, and more moral than conservatives, and they want us all to know it. Just makes me cringe to see the whole thing.

Such an ironic statement from a (bandwagon) Trump fan.

i have no idea what you're saying, honestly, but it sounds like you're missing the point.

the most egregious form of anti-semitism is when people claim that jews have "dual loyalty." here, trump is explicitly saying just that.

meanwhile druff thinks that jews should be backing this moron

Trump isn’t at all saying that. He’s saying what Druff has been claiming: That Jews shouldn’t support the Democrats because the Dems don’t unconditionally support Israel like the Christian Zionist-dominated GOP does. Meaning, American Jews who aren’t unapologetic Zionists are traitors to “their race”.

Actually he clarified that he meant they're being disloyal to Israel. Which begs the question, why should American Jews have to be loyal to Israel?

Because the modern rightwing Zionist ideology equates being loyal to Israel as equivalent to being loyal to he “Jewish race”, and disloyalty to Israel is disloyalty to the “race”. This is a very different mindset than what left-leaning American Zionists tend to believe. They see the government of Israel as a means to an end, not the end itself.

As such, left-leaning American Jews believe that it is entirely fine to criticize Israel, meaning criticize its government, if it doesn’t behave in a reasonable manner. Bernie Sanders’ publicly floating the notion that U.S. to Israel should be withdrawn if it excludes members of the U.S. Congress from entering Israel is a perfect example of the latter.

this probably isn’t the right thread for this but the NYTimes has an openly anti-semitic political editor on their payroll.

he deleted this tweet today, but there are other bad ones up

I was going to say "Crappy Jew Year," but one of my resolutions is to be less anti-Semitic. So… HAPPY Jew Year. You Jews.

Bernie and Yang are easily my top two, I just think Yang has a better chance of flipping Trump voters

Probably true for younger voters who already don’t like Bernie, but believe it or not, Yang’s ethnicity probably is a bigger issue working against him for typical American voters than Sanders’.
