I was responding to what was said in the post below, and didn’t relate it to Joe Biden and his over-familiarity with people. I thought MyFootsZZZ’s meaning referred to an idea that Sanders’ 2016 campaign wasn’t touched by Russian interference. Probably filtered through my brain that way as I had been reading the Mueller report shortly before.
I see what was meant now, and with that understanding, my response was a complete non sequitur. Sorry about that.
Gotcha. No problem.
But What do you mean about Sanders’ campaign not being “touched by Russian interference”? Granted that the Russians in 2016 supported Sanders, in order to weaken Clinton, in order to achieve their goal of electing Trump. But are you asserting that the Sanders campaign, like the Trump campaign, was in close contact with Russian intelligence agents throughout the campaign, knew about the Russian interference on its behalf, and chose to encourage and welcome said interference rather than reporting it to the FBI? If so, a cite would be appreciated.

You can’t be friends with everybody, Joe. At some point, you’ve got to choose between the people in the Teamsters and the Steelworkers, and the people who have been working for decades to render those unions impotent.
The McCains plan to support Joe Biden against Trump. I thought that was interesting and might help sway some Republican voters. McCain always commanded more respect then most Republicans with independents and even Dems.
Biden is generally well regarded by labor organizations like AFL-CIO. If he has a weakness in terms of his voting record, it’s probably his coziness with big banks and big corporations.
Joe had a nice roll out video. I’m not excited about him though, it feels like a repeat of Hilary.
Wow, I’m staying off Twitter today. The intensity of the anti-Biden brigade is amazing. I’m sure some of it is from Bernie Bros and some is probably from troll farms.
I kinda wish Biden hadn’t ran, his time was 2016. Now we’re in for months of creepy Uncle Joe memes and nonstop talk about that on cable news and the Sunday talk shows.
The one good thing is that I think letting Biden suck up all the oxygen for a while allows Mayor Pete to get out of the spotlight for a bit. I really like Pete but it’s probably time his momentum cools down just a bit. He needs a bit more time to organize a serious campaign and a few less interviews right now.
I think it’s time to let this thread fade. He’s in. Take it there. This question is answered.
