In fact, they should, if at all possible, be poor.Translation/fixed: they should be barefoot in the kitchen making sammiches.

Pete said in a debate Dems shouldn't attack each other. What other things are you gonna lie about Peter?

“Made nearly $2 million" sounds very much like a description of her annual earnings as opposed to career earnings. Even if we were talking about the former, Warren would still be a peasant compared to the 1 percenters like the Kochs who use their money to buy the political system to maintain their fortunes. Any lefties outraged at Warren are getting played. It's the same phony anti-elitism as Trump bashing liberal Hollywood celebrities, instead of the far wealthier conservatives who employ them.

She made $2m over the course of 30 years. That’s not that hard.

Because you've pulled the "I just want to help you make your point better" BS while ignoring the obvious point I'm making - follow the money. Candidates that raise large sums from deep pocketed donors are to be avoided.

Maybe, like Pete (as you said in a previous thread) your problem is just that you're "too smart" (I'm assuming you actually meant to say that, and that it just wasn't an autocorrect of the more accurate "too smarmy").

Anyway, Pete is the mayor of a small city that is represented in Congress by a Republican and Two GOP Senators. Maybe he can stop trying to be the wunderkind and instead make himself useful to the Party, his constituents, and the country.

He will be extraordinarily useful to all of us in the Oval Office

"you've pulled the "I just want to help you make your point better" BS " no, I wasn't trying to help you.

This kind of bullshit is not necessary. We get it - you won't pick her in the primary... but the least you could do is learn at least one fucking thing from 2016 and not do this divisive shit.

It's garbage takes like this one that make thinking people dismiss you as a plant.

I got tired of this crap in 2016, so I usually run the fuck away from the ugly, bitter fights between primary opponents, but seriously... she's both a lawyer - a typically highly-paid job - and a college professor - and not just anywhere, but at one of the most prestigious law schools in the world. I'd expect her to be well compensated for her expertise.

She's not going to be making minimum wage, so this whole kerfuffle seems way disingenuous and it doesn't add anything to the discussion.

She didn't wrest her money from the bleeding lips of the starving poor. Is she a bit jerky to call out Bamz and Hillz for speaking fees? I think so - they didn't wrest anything from the bleeding lips of the starving poor either. Does that make it necessary to criticize her for holding the jobs she does? Not really.

Can we talk about policy now?

Fuck Pete Buttigieg already!

I remember your bullshit posting against HRC and then you did a magical shift for a minute and now it's bullshit all the way down again. I just think you are a jerk. As for Warren, I personally consider her the best at the moment in the overcrowded Dem clown car. As for Warren criticizing Obama, almost everyone else did about some nonsense or other so that's nothing.

You do seem to do nothing but whine, though. If you like Biden, keep saying nothing.

Like I say, it's a stupid game, and it's one that I wish politicians wouldn't play. I just don't think Warren should be exempt from what she dishes out. All in all I'd rather she quit playing the game, but until she does, I can't cry foul when it happens to her.

Sanders supporters are getting a little crazy.

I would. He's a very good speaker, probably the best of any the 2020 candidates.
