I think the evidence is that Tulsi takes stands that help Russia (even when they hurt her political career), Russian bots push her candidacy, and she goes on TV saying things that undermine the Democratic party. A normal Democratic politician’s response would be, “I’m sorry that Sec. Clinton sees me that way. While…

The logic here would be that the person is being groomed to pull votes away from the Democratic nominee, thereby enabling another Trump victory. Libertarians are Republicans who want to pretend otherwise, so the Russians in this theory would not want to strengthen that kind of candidacy for fear of helping the…

For sure, there is hard evidence against Stein and Flynn, showing them bowing to Russian Oligarchs and even Putin himself.

I was curious about this whole Gabbard thing, assuming it was a hoax. I agree - it is simply that the Russian propaganda machine just seems REALLY into Gabbard. That does not mean she is being “groomed” by them. But the number of known Russian accounts pumping her up and the sudden flood of RT stories about her does…

Tulsi’s working hard for the rubles.

You seem like you love a good conspiracy. Stein was photographed at a dinner with Flynn and Putin in 2015 at a RT party in Moscow.

Gabbard’s lukewarm opposition to impeachment was also telling in the debates

If everyone who voted for Jill Stein in 2016 voted for Clinton instead in three crucial swing states, Hillary Clinton would be our President. And Trump won those states by less than 80,000 votes combined. That’s all it takes to change the outcome of an election in America. Less than 100,000 people, strategically…

Plus, since the Libertarian party did tons better than the Green party did last election, the safe bet for Russians “grooming” would be to push there.

I mean, she’s not wrong. Plus, calling for Hillary to enter the race (presumably to split the vote and further diminish the Dem’s chances) really doesn’t help her in the “I’m not a Russian asset” department.

Lol. Yang is a one trick pony. Automation, Automation, Automation, followed by $1,000/month.

Buttigieg’s slogan:

My take on the debate performances (other than the fact that is two 3 hours of my life I’ll never get back and there were too many damned candidates on the stage):

So I like to look at post debate analysis briefly by CNN and MSNBC just to gauge what the centrists are going to say, because a lot of voters do watch those stations.  CNN praised Buttigieg.  MSNBC, I kid you not, called Warren “petulant”.  PETULANT.  They would NEVER call a male politician “petulant”.  The sexist…

My fave was their latest column by a Princeton professor who decreed that Warren’s working-class supporters are less authentic than Sanders’.

lol I don’t think so. This was just the first place I saw have an article about him and I earlier saw him on twitter pulling the same shit today. I had to let it out. I would rage about Amy Klobuchar, but she’s not worth anyone’s time.

I also get annoyed anytime Mayor Pete talks about “people in the Midwest” like like the Midwest is a monolith or like Elizabeth Warren can’t grasp the Midwest. He uses “the Midwest” as a code word for conservative, rural, working class, etc. in an attempt to paint Warren as an out-of-touch East Coast liberal. Well,…

It is curious that the moderators keep pounding this point like it’s some explosive gotcha, because there’s a clear answer that simply takes more time to explain than they can give with 53 candidates on stage.

But Warren, now a frontrunner, will have to come up with a better answer to the question of how to pay for Medicare for All
