Biden's banned some nations travel due based on their covid cases. Now the right will stay quiet about that.
Noone is saying that... I think you are talking about McCain's comment, but she referred to misogyny she's received from Bernie supporters, which happens all the time. People ignore principles when showing support and attacking others but she defnitely didn't mean Bernie himself.

He's probably wotrth 50 million ( HUGE Stretch), but owes 300 million, so cutting ties makes sense.
Florida bank says it has closed Trump’s accounts
A Florida bank announced on Thursday that it has closed down former President Trump’s account, joining a growing list of entities that have cut ties with the former president following the deadly J…thehill.com
4 banks have closed, or are planning to close Trump's accounts.
I guess... All of the Trump haters have something to celebrate now?

I dont disagree at all, but i think Cruz knew Paris climate agreement isn't about Paris , he is just speaking in language that resonates with Trump supporters. But Trump supporters wont accept him and he doesn't have the charisma either.
Interesting, i see most of Trump's based getting confused with his last name itself. He wasn't very liked by that crowd and was going for the real conservatives support even during his senate run....
They are, and I didn't even know about McCain.
I know, but I'm also talking about in general.
OK, looks like i misunderstood. Perhaps you meant this one, or something on these lines:
That too, but I was talking about a letter that Bernie wrote decades ago. They brought this up durin the primary and probably during the last primary too.
Some bring up the article he wrote decades ago, I think about how women are into or actually like being raped.
There's more backstory to that entire thing, that can't be conveyed in a tweet

Maybe my reading comprehension is off, but I don't see how this shows them being close to overturning the results in Georgia really.
Wow, that is an absurdly stupid reaction. bernie was fucking just sitting there.... I mean, do people really think Bernie calculated that him wearing a warm coat and fluffy mittens would make him go viral with the specific intent of overshadowing kamala? I mean... COME ON.

yeah, to me that doesn't read like they came close either. it reads more like trump trying acme brand schemes to make himself president.. But the guy couldn't even have a conversation about this with the georgia folk without it getting immediately leaked. It's just another page in the long and sad clown show that was trump's coup attempt. Honestly, the best shot trump had at staying president was his mob infiltrating the capitol and killing a bunch of senators and congressmen. but even if they succeeded at that them dismantling the rest of the government so that trump stays in power seems... nigh impossible. I do believe trump's attempt at the coup had more than zero chances but doing so would have required him to have a modicum of competence to get the mitch mcconels of the country on board. Which trump obviously doesn't, so he didn't.
Yes, but what if Trump had succeeded in making a claim that at least seems credible on paper about georgia being fraudulent? Had Rosen played along, he would probably have succedeed with that. Clark found a way to legitimately pressure the georgia republicans. Had he succeeded in making Rosen step down (and that was not very unlikely), he could have done things like faking that the dominion voting machines actually do not work (and not just in crazy conspiracy theories). Had he done that, a lot of the GOP would have been pushed to accept that 'doubts' of the election.
The great irony being that the riots literally gave some GOP Senators pause and caused them to withdraw objections to the certifications in Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, and Wisconsin.
Why didn't he do that though? I remember reading things about voting machine demonstrations or something, but nothing ever came of that.
I mean, a lot of liberals/Clinton supporters think he was saying women fantasize about being raped. I think this played a huge part in the reaction he got, since they see him as a misogynist.There's more backstory to that entire thing, that can't be conveyed in a tweet
The Bernie Sanders 'Rape Fantasy' Essay, Explained
A 1972 essay written by Bernie Sanders, who officially kicked off his presidential campaign this week, is making the rounds. What did he say about rape that's got people talking?
And even then, I don't believe a 50 year old essay is the reason people had this kind of reaction. They expect ostensibly curmudgeonly people to feign not being a curmudgeon for arbitrary reasons.
Yeah but... all those "what ifs" which kept trump away from actually pulling a coup basically amount to "what if trump wasn't an idiot". Most of this are things which trump actively bungled. And even if he had pulled off all of this... trump had not really done the work to actually topple the US government. As much damage as trump did, he didn't actually manage to dismantle US institutions and arguably he would have needed far more cronies at many other levels of government, including the military, to actually pull this off. As I said earlier, even if the stupid mob that broke in the capitol had succeeded in the worst case scenarios like killing congressmen and pence, it would still have not gotten pretty much the rest of the government behind Trump's clownshow. Now, this is not to say that things are looking peachy. It's fairly clear that democracy in the US is fragile enough that even an incompetent asshat like trump that cannot take two steps without tripping while his hand is being held got this far.

None of these people need to feel that way about what he wrote in order to label his behavior misogynist. The absence or inclusion of what he wrote in their thinking doesn't change anything IMO, they're labeling him as a misogynist because he wasn't performative enough and his supporters are "mean". And that kind of points to a larger issue with mainstream liberals, they're too performative and value that over meaningful things.
Maybe some people, but not politicians. Clinton in particular is incredibly savvy and cynical to bring such a thing up because she knows her supporters refuse to hold her accountable in nearly any situation. And don't even get me started on Harris' record as the top cop in CA.
But Clinton also uses girlboss power for her own advantage, like with Bernie and acting as if she was the only one or first one to know how dangerous Trump was, when most of us have been saying it all along. It's also weird that Harris gets so much support especially from Black liberals from what I've seen. Like, it's great that she's the first Black female vice president, but her history matters too. It seems Biden is retracting a lot of his promises, like minimum wage increase and $2000 stimulus.
