[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

Careful. Words like didactic and bureaucratic make you sound elitist.[/quote]

Who cares what I sound like? I'm not running for President.[/quote]

Right, you're just telling everyone else who they should vote for.[/quote]
We are responding to a troll who is interested in derailing the thread for some reason. [/quote]

It's always a "troll" with you people  :roll:

Pete attacked Warren on the grounds that she is elitist. Keep up.[/quote]
He can attack on those grounds all he wants. His biography is much, much more elitist. Let’s be really honest: the only difference between him and many other ambitious white male politicians is that he’s gay - something he only revealed in his second mayoral campaign. Otherwise he’s a standard-issue white male politician from an elected background. [/quote]

I don't disagree with anything you have said.

But look at GWB's background. Elite as it gets! Yet he was the relatable "guy you want to have a beer with". If you can swing it in politics, go for it! I don't think Pete can, but shoot your shot, bro.[/quote]
