I disagree.

What "terrorist" did Obama order taken out? What harmful immigrant detention centers are you referring to? What sanctions? Domestic policies?
If I'm not mistaken, he got a few high profile true terrorist leaders, deported more immigrants without detaining them like cattle at a ranch, and got Iran to agree to a no nuclear deal that ended/lifted sanctions against them. And if you're referring to the 2008 recession then you should revisit the facts behind that.

One I mentioned before was Abdulrahman Anwar al-Awlaki (or the people they alleged were the targets that turned Abdulrahman into collateral damage) many of the detention centers Trump's using were literally created by the Obama administration and he let the banksters off scot-free and they all got richer while low-wage workers fell further behind.
I think which of the two is worse (Trump) matters less than denoting them both as unacceptable going forward though.

Warren seems craven even by politician standards and tries to pander better than Harris did (a very low bar that she hasn't exceeded wildly). My favorite comment about this little story was something like "it's funny because it sounds like something Sanders would say; but it also sounds like something Warren would lie about."
That being said, I thought one of the many excuses for Hillary's loss was that she was a woman. Isn't Bernie's supposed statement (or maybe a more tame version) viewed as obviously true within Democrat circles?

If we really wanted to parse it we could read into Warren's lawyerly response that they were talking about a specific woman (not Warren whom he implored to run in 2016 and), not women generally.

Hillary’s margin of loss was certainly within the range that a number of factors including sexism can solely explain the loss. That is not to discount that a better candidate would have been able to win by a sufficient margin to overcome those factors.

So am i the only one expecting this Warren-Sanders woman thing to be an attempt at turning their respective bases hostile to each other? When Warrens-supporters hate Bernie and visa versa, the result is less votes for the eventual candidate whoever it ends up being. Only Trump wins when democrat voters stay home rather than voting for the second best their team could field.
Warrens, Sanders, whatever. Get Trump out of the white house, take control of the Senate, and have him answer for his life of crime.

While Obama did things I didn’t like, and kind of dropped the ball in pushing harder for more radical healthcare reform when the Dems had the numbers, amongst many other things, he’s still nothing like Trump.
Trump’s modus operandi of mudslinging to destroy the credibility of those keeping him in check, be it structural, political opponents, the Fourth Estate etc is nothing like Obama’s behaviour while in office. Obama tried to do the whole unifier thing, perhaps sometimes he pulled too many punches if anything.
Trump courting Brexit figures in contrast to Obama’s ‘back of the queue’ quotes, amongst other things are clear snapshots of their respective attachment to nationalist sentiment and multilateral cooperation.
Trump likes his conspiracy theories, hell he even participated in one himself. Most damaging there is his beliefs on climate change that do impact on his policies.
I think what could be Trump’s most damaging legacy is running this minority coalition and actively spouting bullshit and attacking dissent. Not because one shouldn’t defend oneself but it’s throwing accelerant on fires of division.

The issue here is that even bad media like CNN was going to check with Sanders and Warren. If it was coming from outside, Sanders would just say it's not true and Warren would confirm it's not true. CNN might still run with it I don't know but you kind of need Warren's silence into vague confirmation to create a political story.
Warren has hired some terrible advisors and now they're making bad choices. I really doubt she's going to manage to turn this into a win at the debate, this ought to backfire.

Aye both these things can be true. It’s rather difficult to find people who’ll outright say her sex swayed their vote.
Hell unconscious sexism comes into it too. The classic ‘authoritative’ and positive when a man does something, ‘bossy’ and thus negative when a woman does it. Rather tricky to unpick such phenomena on such a macro level.
As for this current controversy I really can’t see it do anything but help Bernie Sanders. It doesn’t seem like he’s at all the type to have a negative view on the capabilities of women. If he merely said it in a ‘I don’t think America is ready to elect a woman as President’ he’s saying nothing the media and Clinton on her book tour did after 2016. Then the third possibility that he said nothing of the sort seems also plausible.
I imagine a ‘the Dems are trying to screw Bernie again’ rallying call will come up and it’ll benefit his campaign, given the whole platform is basically that of the plucky rebellious underdog.

Quite probably she picked up some fmr Clinton people from Kamala's campaign and they worked the same magic they did for Kamala.
Looking at who spread the story, and how Warren supporters are trying to make this out as "Bernie's sexism is disqualifying" it's hard to see how this is isn't born out of fmr Clinton folks. They don't care if it implodes what remains of Warren's campaign because their purpose was to drag down Bernie however they could.
Even if this was some attempt by Biden or Pete's campaign, Warren botched handling it all on her own.

Choosing what to believe based on ones own predetermined narrative is never a good idea. Presumptions are not facts.
What facts are you expecting on something Sanders denies, comes from anonymous sources and that Warren has declined to comment on?
I don’t think It’s necessarily true, but it does seem plausible.
Clinton did play the ‘woe is to be a woman’ card way too much, which I felt was politically stupid and did fuck all for her. Harris did employ a decent chunk of folks from the Clinton campaign. Not sure about Warren but presumably some have migrated to her camp since Harris withdrew. Perhaps what I consider to be tactical blunders have migrated via them.
Would make sense anyway, although it’s not necessarily true as I have already said.

This supposed scandal is a huge nothing because even if Bernie came out and said "having a woman on a ticket puts us at a disadvantage", everyone would know it was true. We'll never get direct quotes, Warren knows burning Bernie like that would be suicide, so it's all a mess.

Bernie can really put the screws to Warren at the debate regarding this non-story, let’s see if he chooses that route.

You know Bernie's not that kinda politician. CNN is going to force the issue up front though and if Warren's staff gets her to lean into it, it could get messy.
