    Didn't Warrens staffers come out as saying that they knew Bernies sexist comments were not only taken wildly out of context but also that they knew they were taking them wildly out of context and used this angle anyways?

      My impression was that she didn't really even choose the tactic, some clintonite Warren staffer was the one who leaked it and Warren just got boxed into playing along

        It’s such a Clinton move too. Remember when her campaign photoshopped Obama to make him blacker? Wish Hillary and everyone still with her just crawl into a hole and die

          It's crazy how everyone just collectively forgot how racist her campaign was in '08.

            Was that around the time she was going on and on about 'superpredators?" Or is there some new Hill lore I'm not up on?

            tbf that was before basically before 99.9999% of us were on reddit, that's pre-historic internet for most of us, that's pre-cell phones for most of us, I'm guessing a lot of us were in k12, I don't know how anyone reliably knew anything back then.

              Haha, true. I was thinking more in terms of institutional memory but I guess there's plenty of incentive to forget there.

          She's got the same dark capitalist necromancer keeping her alive as Kissinger does, she will inflict herself on the world for years to come

      Fuck Harry Reid but he did something similar to Romney in the 2012 race, which is cool. He said to effect of "I've seen Romney's taxes and I know he's paid nothing for years". It was a big deal at the time. After Romney lost Reid subtly admitted (more with a wink and a nod) that he made that up.

          Lying works incredibly well. Dems should do it more. That they don't is further proof they have no interest in winning.
