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]
Yeah but [b]Posh Pete[/b] should shut his yap with his projection. He really is a log cabin Republican.[/quote]

PP here. You think this will catch on? I see what you're going for, but it also seems a little homophobe dog whistle-y[/quote]
“Posh” =/= “pouf.” I mean nothing homophobic by “posh.” He just very much is posh and entitled and out of touch.[/quote]

Well, he is the poorest “Posh” that ever poshed, I guess. With less than $100K net worth, compared to Warren’s $12M, Biden’s $9M, Bernie’s $2.5M, etc. There is nothing entitled in enlisting to serve, or running for office in South Bend, IN. It upsets you that others like him, we get it. But that doesn’t make him either posh or entitled.[/quote]

This, exactly.

And yes, “posh Pete” is homophobic. You’d think these supposedly ultra-woke Warren/Sanders supporters would be a little more sensitive.
