THREAD about the insanity of last night’s attacks on Obama:
First, let’s acknowledge CNN’s complicity in turning every policy discussion into a candidate versus candidate square-off, which had them all maneuvering to land the best body-blow. (1)
But there’s another culprit, too, one who never get called out, instead he’s been declared one of the “winners” of the debates. (2)
Let’s remember it was Sanders who conned the Dems into thinking Hillary lost because she wasn’t “progressive” enough, thereby marginalizing (or worse, demonizing) “moderate” & pragmatic positions & who turned HRC’s past into potent artillery for proving his own purity. (3)
There’s no Hillary this time around, but the competition for “more progressive than thou” remains, and so does the rummaging around the past records of others. (4)
And so “Medicare for all” inexorably slides down the slope to trashing Obamacare, and plundering Biden’s past drags Obama along with it. (5)
And extremely smart, sensible, and decent candidates slide into the background, probably soon to disappear entirely, while the phony boxing match between the “progressives” & the “moderates” has Trump and Mitch snickering over the mess. (6)
