[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]

You must not follow him closely. No way is Pete Buttigieg a standard issue politician. For one thing, he is not a lawyer. Most pols are and ya know what? People hate lawyers for a reason. Second, he has incredible leadership skills. He is an amazing listener and the most inspiring candidate of my lifetime (tied with Obama). Third, he can run circles around all the other candidates. Pete will clean up the Trump mess and preserve our democracy, putting in measures to ensure the Constitution is not trampled over again. [/quote]
