I haven't been on Twitter yet, but I'd imagine Trump is just eating it up right now.COME ON, Joe.....

Biden's gaffes - misspeaking - are not the same as some of the things he's doing now. He does not sound as sharp, even when he had his foot in his mouth. And he's definitely low energy.Not true, because Biden was always as weird and gaffe prone as he is now. People just forgot about that while he was a quiet VP.
The frustrating thing is he does stuff like this but if it were not for the black vote he would not be leading the pack. Then if you took away his connection to Obama he would plummet even more.COME ON, Joe.....
Exactly, while they are about the same age Bernie has MUCH more energy, connects with young people, and is more active than people decades younger than him.Bernie has more energy and vitality than half of the field, and is clearly still as sharp as ever. Biden, however, is exhibiting some cognitive decline.
By looking at who funds them (when that information is available) and then keeping that in mind when I read their sites or watch their shows. E.G. I don't take The Daily Beast at face value if and/or when they talk about socialism.Care to tell me how you pick your news sources?
The derision is at the idea of considering either TYT or the BBC "independent" media. Then again every time I've gone to watch TYT they're blathering on the same sort of crap ("russia, russia, russia"[1]) that MSNBC is.I am not sure what the source of derision is?
They come off very differently in person - Bernie still seems middle aged. But most of the difference is probably in policy. Young people have much less power in the workplace than Boomers had twenty years ago, and are naturally well to the left of them as a result, but the TV watching public seems unaware of this. These skewed polls are silencing adults under 50.I don't understand why they'd see Biden as over the hill but not Bernie. They're very close in age (Bernie being a bit older).
I totally agree, I was mostly trying to be funny. He was always a mess in his presentation, but he IS slower.Biden's gaffes - misspeaking - are not the same as some of the things he's doing now. He does not sound as sharp, even when he had his foot in his mouth. And he's definitely low energy.
That's just not true. His staff is 70% women, and it's very diverse. His most vocal representative is Nina Turner, a black woman. His campaign manager is a person of color who is Muslim. Bernie is listening and has always been a champion of racial justice, a champion for women, and the LGBTQ community before it was cool. ETA: Decades before it was cool.This focus also obscures the ways in which Bernie is mired in old patterns of thinking -- such as the lack of women and minorities in his close circle of planners and advisors.
Thank you for the correction. I had a different impression from the first presidential campaign, but it didn't dissuade me from supporting Sanders then. I don't support him now, but for entirely other reasons. I still like Sanders, but I've been waiting a decade for Warren to run.That's just not true. His staff is 70% women, and it's very diverse.
I look at where a news source gets their funding and/or slant but do not consider that a disqualifying factor except where I do not consider something news but pure propaganda. I then take that information and apply it to what they say.By looking at who funds them (when that information is available) and then keeping that in mind when I read their sites or watch their shows.

Yeah, if Elizabeth and Mayor Pete were not running it would be much easier deciding who to support. There are good odds I will support Bernie at least until the convention though. My niece will just barely not be able to vote this time but is already more politically active than most adults (for example, she came down to DC for the march for our lives rally on a bus days away from her birthday). Of course she is big on Bernie so how could I not be?Thank you for the correction.

Seriously?Bernie is mired in old patterns of thinking -- such as the lack of women and minorities in his close circle of planners and advisors.
Hey, I've already apologized for the error. Sheesh.Seriously?

We don't need another hero.Still wish Nina Turner was running.
This is beyond misspeaking or saying something that is out of touch with the zeitgeist of the times. It's like he doesn't even know where he is.
