[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it's a good attack line on Warren, maybe not so much Bernie. Why is a politician attacking an opponent so shocking to you?[/quote]
Why is it a good attack on Warren but not Sanders?[/quote]

Because she comes off as more "elitist" than Bernie does. It's reflected in their core voting bases; Sanders more working class, Warren DCUM college-educated wives lol.[/quote]

Wut[/quote]
Yeah Warren’s background is anything but elitist. [/quote]
Let’s give the PP the benefit of the doubt. Maybe she or he genuinely doesn’t know?[/quote]

I'm that PP. Nope she can come across as elitist and it can be effective to cast her as such. Harvard, professor/academia, "I have a plan", "I know better than you", schoolmarmy/didactic speaking tone, government bureaucrat is always the answer. It could be politically effective to cast her as such. It just needs to stick; doesn't need to tell the full story. Biden has trotted out the same attack.

Bernie just comes across as angry old man and I don't see charges of elitism sticking to him as much. [/quote]

This says more about you and your reaction to knowledgeable women as opposed to knowledgeable men. Just look at all the word choices you made.

I could say you sound schoolmarmy in your chastising Warren.

She comes across as folksy and anti-elitist and her tone is warm and with a midwestern accent. She explains things really well and not stiffly or with an obscure vocabulary but in a way that anyone could understand her. That’s the opposite of elitist. [/quote]

Oh, cut the crap. It's not about me, it's about what voters will think. Also newsflash, I am not running for president.

You think real people are buying the "my daddy" folksy act  :lol:  :lol: [/quote]

I know my midwestern family love her and feel they can relate to her.[/quote]

Cool. May want to start working on everybody else.

Are you a college-educated white woman by chance?[/quote]
