People forget, HE is the person who got all those plans passed by working with Republicans including saving us from a recession.

-

He never gets fair credit for the work he did with the stimulus bill. The funds were equitably distributed between red and blue states. He worked with both sides. In the polarized world of today, you practically have to hide bipartisanship.

-

I heard that! The audience cheered when he said he got her votes to establish the CFPB, and booed when she thanked the entire Obama administration *except* Joe Biden.

-

I guess, only Biden can be yelled at and lectured to. I imagine that's fine with you.

And Biden did help corral votes for Warren (a role he often played on behalf of the administration). Warren chose not to acknowledge it and instead respond sarcastically.

Not a good look.

-

What ?! Did you consider the snarky answer she gave him?

-

I'd do it again if she continues to be so sarcastic and self righteous.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

Zerlina Maxwell with some uncomfortable truths about the debate [View all] StarfishSaver Oct 2019 OP

Zerlina Maxwell has apparently been watching different debates. highplainsdem Oct 2019 #2

Guess she forgot how Harris shot up in the polls when she went after Biden DrToast Oct 2019 #3

Zerlina's opinion is worth zero. Polly Hennessey Oct 2019 #4

Indeed! Thekaspervote Oct 2019 #7

Indeed! Polly Hennessey Oct 2019 #77

Below that (not that I have the slight idea of who that person is) question everything Oct 2019 #13

She's on Sirius radio, msnbc, amongst other places. Dagstead Bumwood Oct 2019 #55

Imagine Trump jabbing his whole hand like that at Hillary when talking about 'getting votes' for AtheistCrusader Oct 2019 #5

Hummm?? Hand jabbing ... really? Thekaspervote Oct 2019 #8

Yeah BeyondGeography Oct 2019 #10

Dunno why you want to portray a tough woman like Warren as if she were a 'delicate flower' emulatorloo Oct 2019 #33

Silly reply that has nothing to do with the point being made BeyondGeography Oct 2019 #41

Yes I am silly for being surprised at your lack of consistency. I apparently have more confidence emulatorloo Oct 2019 #42

You don't seem to have much faith in Biden when you think HE's being unfairly criticized StarfishSaver Oct 2019 #47

My top three are Warren Biden Buttigieg in no particular order. emulatorloo Oct 2019 #50

Please. This doesn't even qualify as a feeble attempt to deflect. AtheistCrusader Oct 2019 #48

Bernie supporter primary 2016. HRC voter in the GE. Liked them both, just as I like Warren emulatorloo Oct 2019 #52

The 'narrative' is yours. (Objecting shows the target candidate is weak) AtheistCrusader Oct 2019 #62

I don't know what you are talking about. IMHO both Warren and HRC are tough powerhouses emulatorloo Oct 2019 #63

I am referring to post 33 (yours). AtheistCrusader Oct 2019 #64

So we both agree Warren is tough. Perhaps you should attack someone you disagree with. emulatorloo Oct 2019 #65

I disagree with how you portrayed the poster in post 33. AtheistCrusader Oct 2019 #66

Your attacks on me were too vitriolic, OTT, misdirected, and unwarranted. emulatorloo Oct 2019 #67

That's so strange. Your subject line describes post 33 perfectly. AtheistCrusader Oct 2019 #69

It is a indeed a discussion board. emulatorloo Oct 2019 #72

I'm sorry that it seems that way to you. AtheistCrusader Oct 2019 #73

Fortunately I am not the kind of person who blames candidates for the behavior of their supporters emulatorloo Oct 2019 #74

And will you be taking this advice, yourself? AtheistCrusader Oct 2019 #75

I'll do GOTV as I always do. Everyone knows that you don't browbeat undecideds/persuadables emulatorloo Oct 2019 #76

But it's ok, if they have a preferred candidate? AtheistCrusader Oct 2019 #78

No it's not "ok". The correct thing is to say "thanks for yr time" and move to the next door emulatorloo Oct 2019 #80

Yeah, I can't walk away from cognitive dissonance. AtheistCrusader Oct 2019 #81

to be fair to bernie he does that to men too Otto Lidenbrock Oct 2019 #61

He does. And when he does it, it's dismissed as just being passionate. StarfishSaver Oct 2019 #68

I don't think HRC would have stood next to someone who helped her signature bill get passed and not highplainsdem Oct 2019 #12

I seem to have underestimated the reaction a black woman commentator would get StarfishSaver Oct 2019 #16

Yeah, I'm not happy. And there are a number of double standards in play here AtheistCrusader Oct 2019 #22

You are making a valid and fair point, IMO mcar Oct 2019 #35

Has nothing to do with being black. Polly Hennessey Oct 2019 #37

That was my thought too Bettie Oct 2019 #70

She was, indeed StarfishSaver Oct 2019 #71

Who is this and why should this person's opinion matter? question everything Oct 2019 #11

Maybe you should expand your horizons StarfishSaver Oct 2019 #15

There are 6 billion people in the world. More than 350 million in this country alone question everything Oct 2019 #17

Then you certainly shouldn't assume the fact that YOU haven't heard of someone StarfishSaver Oct 2019 #18

Zerlina Maxwell is a drama llama. demmiblue Oct 2019 #14

The responses to this are enlightening.... Docreed2003 Oct 2019 #19

Enlightening and deeply disappointing StarfishSaver Oct 2019 #20

Why do supporters of other candidates keep trying to racialize Joe Biden? I'm black, and I'm a... Tarheel_Dem Oct 2019 #29

No one is "racializing" Biden StarfishSaver Oct 2019 #31

We've got to agree with her due to her being a WOC? treestar Oct 2019 #57

I never said you had to agree with her Docreed2003 Oct 2019 #59

She was one of the first on MSNBC to start up months ago, towards Celerity Oct 2019 #79

She got dragged on a previous thread, so she's tweaking her argument... Kahuna7 Oct 2019 #21

Thank you for that, highplainsdem! Would Cha Oct 2019 #49

These are great comments. I saw the same debate these folks saw. emmaverybo Oct 2019 #56

Sometimes it's a tough go around this place. TidalWave46 Oct 2019 #24

Yes, it is StarfishSaver Oct 2019 #32

Guess she didn't catch Warren rolling her eyes at Joe Green Line Oct 2019 #25

Opinion and truth are two different things. TwilightZone Oct 2019 #26

Zerlina is fine but FrankBooth Oct 2019 #38

Perhaps it's shallow to you StarfishSaver Oct 2019 #39

LOL FrankBooth Oct 2019 #40

she is on MSNBC as I type this ripping into Biden again Celerity Oct 2019 #43

I just saw her StarfishSaver Oct 2019 #45

we have two different views in this case, and I have hardly been a 'hair on fire over the slightest Celerity Oct 2019 #46

Now blaming the public because it didn't fit Zerlina's anti-Biden views? nt NYMinute Oct 2019 #44

It's not just the debate loyalsister Oct 2019 #54

I didn't even see it but I doubt Biden treestar Oct 2019 #58

Maxwell has a thing about Biden. Yours and her truths are not mine. Warren misrepresented emmaverybo Oct 2019 #60
