the children of the developing world would be immeasurably safer if a corbyn government happened, i don’t think sanders is as good on this stuff as he was back in the 70s, 80s

Is putting Warren with a bunch of no marks a deft bit of wrangling by Dem chiefs to boost her profile ahead of Biden and Sanders taking lumps out of each other?

idk, probably

From Googling am I to understand this is a nickname for one of the other candidates?

Warren has some Native American heritage, right wingers (and to be fair, some left wingers too) have accused her of using this as a political tactic to claim minority / PoC status, while Trump just yuks it up and calls her Pocahontas.

Here’s a good piece from a leftwing Native American writer if you’re interested in this whole thing:

Oooh right. I actually do sort of recall this blowing up. Just didn’t hear the Pocahontas stuff. Gotcha, cheers.

this BTL is also good

This is always just a one-way street. Just more proof of the unbearable privilege of whiteness. A Native who was 1/8th white could never call themselves white. A black person who’s 50% white will still always be black. Whiteness is allowed to claim additional heritage while still being safely secured in its whiteness.

Feels like Buttgieg has stolen a march on Beto as the inexperienced outside candidate - don’t think there’s room for both of them when the contest narrows down.

Mayor Pete got absolutely destroyed by his local black community this week.
He’s toxic

I didn’t mean to imply any support for Buttgieg, just that I think he’s pushing Beto out as they are too similar to coexist in the race. Read a really interesting piece a while ago about their relative lack of experience and how they fit a “classic” presidential template just by being privileged white guys:

I think we’ll end up with a Warren vs. Biden run off.
