    Her main campaign strategy was to paint him as a misogynist,

    No, that’s what McCollum did…

    Because as I said:

    but he tried (and succeeded) into making her campaign a kamikaze attack on Bernie so Biden could take it.

    They knew it wouldn’t work, but they knew it would also sink the only two progressives.

    She was 72 years old at the time, she wasn’t the same person she was the majority of her career, which is why people want her to retire.

    Like, I’m not defending her, I’m pointing out how dangerous it is letting people stay in office this long. Because even if they start out good, by the time they have the seniority they’re not what they used to be.

      Except that she personally asserted this narrative. Not someone else. This wasn’t something some surrogate said, without her knowledge.

      Her hands were on the stick when this plane was going down. And she was aiming straight at him. This is not an age thing. She took an end-run nose dive, on behalf the establishment. Willingly.
