    You simply made up too many things here to even make your post worth picking apart.

    Convenient way to ignore facts is to call them fake. I defy anyone to find anything I said that was made up.

    You don't know what, if any, loyalties she has.

    Horseshit. You are confusing the DNC with the Iowa Democratic Party.

    Organizer for 3 counties in Nevada (total population: 25,000 people) is sure as shit a low level position.

    But yeah, the fact that she did that for 4 whole months certainly disqualifies her from any other position related to politics.

    Probably eats babies when she's not stealing votes from Bernie.

    Oh right, it was the last election the DNC rigged on their own, my bad.

    They did Iowa with a little help from their local friends this time.

    How dare I conflate the two.

    As a general rule, Buttigieg staffers taste baby flesh for the first time when they are introduced to Pete.
    So the question is whether she had an opportunity to have that ceremony before quitting - not sure of Pete's travel schedule vis-à-vis NV.

    All the Dem candidates have been invited to speak on FOX.

    Tulsi is the only one of them who is not a flaming coward.

    All Dems are far left, some are just farther far left than others. :cheers:

    They simply have no rational, moderate candidate and therefore no chance in hell of winning the Presidency.

    Washington Post editorial board declares Biden, Buttigieg, Klobuchar aren't 'centrists'
    By Joseph A. Wulfsohn | Fox News

    The conversation driving the Democratic primary has been about the ongoing battle between the progressive and the moderate wings of the Democratic Party, but the Washington Post editorial board declared that the so-called "centrist" frontrunners, like former Vice President Joe Biden and former South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg, aren't actually how they've been described.

    In an editorial published on Saturday, the Washington Post determined that it has been an "unchecked assumption" that the ideological war between the "left" and "center" among the candidates, a narrative the paper deemed was "false."


    The piece laid out prominent policy proposals of Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., and Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass. such as Medicare-for-all and free college, but pointed to Buttigieg's proposals "to make college free for pretty much everyone -- just not for the wealthiest families" and how his health care plan would "eventually drive private insurance companies out of business." It went on to say out Biden may not back the Green New Deal but "wants to spend a whopping $1.7 trillion to enable the country to eliminate net carbon emissions by 2050."

    The Post also invokes legalizing marijuana and the $650 billion federal spending proposals Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn. and hefty tax hike proposal from former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg.

    "Then there are the policy moves that practically all Democrats agree on: giving legal safe harbor to the young immigrants known as 'dreamers'; reviving and expanding President Barack Obama's climate regulations; reengaging with Iran; raising the minimum wage; keeping abortion legal; cracking down on guns. In fact, every major Democratic candidate is running on an agenda to the left of Mr. Obama’s," the Post editorial board wrote.

    It continued, "Campaigning in Iowa, Mr. Buttigieg expressed sympathy for Mr. Sanders’s 'goals.' But, he added, Mr. Sanders 'makes it feel like you're either for a revolution or you’ve got to be for the status quo, and there’s nothing in between.' The Democratic race does not present such a choice, and observers should stop advancing the myth that it does."

    Media Research Center vice president Dan Gainor applauded the Post for "admitting" that the Democrats don't have moderates running for president.

    "It's amazing that The Washington Post is willing to admit that the Democrats are left, lefter and leftist," Gainor told Fox News. The problem is, you can't find this correct view hardly anywhere else in the press... Journalists have been calling the top Democrats, 'moderate' or 'centrist' as a way of pretending the party hasn't made a huge left turn."

    Racist Pete strikes again! :angry:

    Progressive journalists say they were 'harassed' by Buttigieg campaign staff at rally: We've never dealt with this at Trump events
    By Joseph A. Wulfsohn | Fox News

    A pair of progressive journalists alleged that they were repeatedly harassed by staffers for the Buttigieg campaign at an event in New Hampshire, including an attempt to physically take away their preapproved press credentials.

    Status Coup co-founder/reporter Jordan Chariton and video journalist Jamal Jones attended the campaign event on Sunday in Nashua, New Hampshire, where former South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg was set to appear. Ahead of the event, Chariton and Jones were interviewing attendees in line outside, but Chariton said he noticed they were being followed by Buttigieg field staffer Julia Fiedler, who went on to "eavesdrop" on interviews, which went on for roughly a half an hour.

    Chariton told Fiedler, "You know, you're not being subtle," to which she responded, "I know."

    Live-tweeting the alleged harassment as it was happening, Chariton shared a clip showing Fiedler walking alongside the journalist while he was interviewing an attendee.

    Fiedler did not respond to Fox News' request for comment.

    Chariton, a supporter for Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., said he and Jones entered Elm Street Middle School, the venue for the rally, and picked up their press credentials at check-in and waited with other members of the media until the campaign allowed them to enter the gymnasium. Moments later, after interviewing more attendees, they were approached by another Buttigieg staffer and were asked if they had press credentials or if they "snuck in."

    "So clearly, they're monitoring us here. It's crazy, absolutely crazy," Chariton said to the camera.

    Things escalated when Jones went to go grab his camera gear and was approached by a different campaign staffer who snatched his press credentials that was clipped to his jacket and told him, "I'm sorry, I don't think you're supposed to have press credentials." He later expressed he felt like he was being "attacked."

    “I felt I was singled out," Jones told Fox News. "I’m not sure whether it was because of the company I work for or the color of my skin, but I was definitely singled out because they didn’t do that to anyone else there that I saw.”

    Both the Buttigieg staffer and Jones approached Chariton, where an intense exchange ensued.

    "[A staffer] was following me outside, I have credentials, I can show it to you, and now you've had two people come up to me, harassing me here," Chariton told the unidentified Buttigieg aide. "Is this what you do to the press?"

    "No," she responded, who quickly attempted to block the camera lens with her hand and later told Chariton that she had heard that they were "disrupting people in line."

    "Disrupting what?" Chariton said.

    "I'm under the impression that you were disrupting people in line," the staffer reiterated.

    "Disrupting by interview them? That's disruption?" the progressive journalist shot back.

    "No," she said. "We were told by people that they were disrupted by you."

    She then walked away with Jones' press credentials without attempting to grab Chariton's. Moments later, a staffer, who Chariton described had a more senior status on the campaign, approached them to calm the situation.

    "I'm not trying to kick you out," Cambria Hayashino, the "Iowa Advance Lead" of the Buttigieg campaign according to her LinkedIn page, told Chariton.

    "Did you know that one of your people came up to my cameraman without saying a word and ripped his credential right off him?" Chariton asked.

    "I did not know that," Hayashino responded. "I apologize for that."

    She repeatedly apologized to Jones as Chariton explained what had happened to them.

    "I've gone to Trump events and never had to deal with this," Chariton said.

    "I understand and that should not have happened and I understand that it's really frustrating," Hayashino said. "I apologize on behalf of our team. ... I wanted to come here and tell you that you are allowed to stay here, we just ask you to follow the rules that everyone else follows -- not that I've seen you breaking them."

    "Listen, for a campaign that has whatever issues with black people, to come up to my black cameraman and rip his thing off," Chariton told her.

    Hayashino did not immediately respond to Fox News' request for comment.

    Chariton told Fox News he managed to get press credentials by using another journalist's invitation. He claimed Status Coup was removed from the campaign's email list back in December after it reported on an alleged cover-up involving cops at the South Bend Police Department that were caught live-streaming an arrest of a black man while imitating Klansmen from the 2012 film "Django Unchained."

    The Status Coup reporter expressed he believed there is a "pattern of paranoia" from the Buttigieg campaign, pointing to a debate watch party he attended in South Bend in December, where he said taking photos and videos and conducting interviews were strictly prohibited as it was a "safe space" for attendees.

    He had not heard from the campaign since the altercation took place, even after reaching out to Buttigieg Press Secretary Chris Meagher.

    "Multiple lines were crossed and 24 hours later, the mayor nor his press secretary has apologized. Whether the mayor’s campaign likes my outlet or not — political operatives have no right to place their hands on journalists trying to do their jobs," Chariton told Fox News.

    The Buttigieg campaign did not immediately respond to numerous requests by Fox News for comment.

    Krystal Ball: Democratic establishment would rather have four more years of Trump than see Bernie elected
    By Charles Creitz | Fox News

    Washington looks on in disbelief as Biden unravels

    'The Populist's Guide to 2020' author Krystal Ball breaks down the ongoing civil war within the Democratic Party.

    The Washington establishment's main goal in every election is to retain their access to the levers of power and not let otherwise unaffiliated candidates like Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., take that access away, according to Krystal Ball.

    The Hill.TV commentator told "Tucker Carlson Tonight" that Sanders makes the Democratic establishment apprehensive because they understand he will not be inviting to them if he wins in November.

    "These are all people whose power comes from their access to the establishment world -- consultants whose grift is based on a certain deal flow from the DNC, et cetera -- and they know what you said about they prefer Trump to Bernie -- that’s exactly right because they know under a Sanders administration, all of that access and all of that deal flow, all of that is gone and it truly is over for them," she said.

    Ball and host Tucker Carlson agreed that President Trump is the Republican iteration of that phenomenon. In 2016, several GOP candidates, like former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush and then-Ohio Gov. John Kasich were seen as taking up the more establishment lane in opposition to Trump.

    "They would rather have Bernie lose and have another crack at it after Donald Trump['s second term] than allow him to win and that’s where we are," Ball said. "The problem for them is that while Hillary Clinton and all the rest say nobody likes Bernie Sanders, the truth is -- just like Donald Trump -- the base really likes Bernie Sanders."

    Ball said Sanders is seen as the "most popular senator in the country" which she attributed to the tense situation on the political left.

    Appearing to compare Joe Biden's candidacy to that of Kasich and Bush, Ball said that the former vice president has "the right resume" and ties to the popular Barack Obama, "so he must be the guy."

    "In the meanwhile, they said the same things [about Sanders that] they said about the rise of Donald Trump: 'Ignore that he [Biden] has no enthusiasm or crowds, pay no attention to that,' -- just look at the fact of his poll numbers and he's resilient and what's happening online and what’s happening out there in America," she continued.

    "To this day, if you look at the polls objectively, [Sanders] is the front runner to win the Democratic nomination and they still have not wrapped their heads around it or the fact that he has a genuine enthusiasm and movement behind him which ... could be a good matchup against President Trump."
