Democratic Primaries
Related: About this forumAs noted, this latest ad is offensive. "Which side are you on"? Talking about being divisive!
Asking people to choose sides? That's what we did when we set up stickball games in Brooklyn!
And he's using video/events that he had nothing to do with to push this - very sad.
Which side am I on? Joseph Robinette Biden, Junior's!

(17,760 posts)I am not on the side of a narcissist who thinks that the world revolves around himself and is willing to let American workers suffer at the expense of his personal political ambitions and desire for attention.

(35,454 posts)who only stands for himself, uses others and doesn't show up for the occasion. Not for the infant son he didn't support, not for those who were trying to defeat the very person he helped to elect by his obdurance, his lack of transparency, the lies he allowed his campaign to tell, the twisting of the truth and not showing up to support the people who the other Dem Senators are trying to help. It shows a real lack of introspection to put out an ad like that.

(442 posts)If you take all the BS parts out, it's a great ad! Otherwise, it's just weird. "Hey, look at all these cool civil rights pics and vids...oh, and here's an old white guy with some signs, but...MLK!"
So...I'm on the side that votes for Democrats.

(17,760 posts)BS probably got polling data that his attacks on the "Democratic Establishment" and his past attacks on President Obama, including reports that he was considering primarying President Obama, was hurting him in certain primary states, so he published this ad featuring ...President Obama:
Of course, it is so misleading and such an obvious effort to pander to African Americans that even BS's campaign chair Nina Turner was offended.

@notcapnamerica
is a fucking prick troll who posted completely false bullshit about Buttigieg, which I debunked immediately (and he got flamed hard by other Tweeters) and then the bellend blocked me. This was ages ago, so do not know if he ever apologised (I cannot even remember which smear du jour it was, I think it was a repost of one of that piece of shit homophobe, Henry 'I hate gays so much I will post a pic of a man fucking a dog' Davis Jr, an ex South Bend city councilman's made-up stories) but Evans is a rotter for blocking me when all I did was show him to be posting false info. I was not even nasty or aggressive about it.
But I will rec the OP on principle because I detest Sanders' campaign style, so there's that.
edited to add (so you and others do not think I am making this up)
only time (other than some MAGATs I pwned in replies) I have been blocked on Twitter

(67,782 posts)...but the message itself is correct. He's the first source of that ad, and I couldn't find another source so far.
He's a homophobe and I suspect a bit schizophrenic, a veritable nutcase.

(46,229 posts)He is way worse that Evans, actually, but he never blocked me, lololol. MrWeeks too, is pure vermin. (long banned on Twitter)
Just because a person is anti-Bernie does NOT, for me, make them an ally at all. I have far higher standards and am not so jaded that I need to fall back to the old adage 'An enemy of my enemy is my friend.'
I have no compulsion to play reverso-world 'own the libs' (but insert Berners for libs) games via fools on Twitter.
That all said, if Evans was the first and only source you found, then I take no issue with his use.

(10,324 posts)I also dont think its effective as a pro-Sanders ad.
The ad asks whose side are you on. I would guess that were all for the people pictured in the ad. But AOCs weird voice is a negative and Sanders is irrelevant at this point.

(17,757 posts)The man is still running for President. He is still asking for votes. Perhaps some find it offensive because it strikes a nerve.
I don't know why Sanders has not thrown in the towel, but I have enough respect for him as a person, to give him the benefit of the doubt, if not the benefit of my vote.

(3,701 posts)I just think it's weird and also too little too late. It's almost like Sanders is asking everyone that has already voted who's side are you own. Well if they didn't vote for you they are obviously not on your side. Weird. This is the kind of ad you run at the beginning of your campaign not at the end of it. Sanders biggest issues is that he is really bad at strategizing. He, like Trump, is good at big rallies and stump speeches - i.e. most populist candidates are good at that. But when it comes to timing and placing the pieces in the right spot on the board, he kinda sucks at that.
Either way it's over. Sanders should see that writing on the wall and get out of the race, while he still has some credibility left in the Senate.

Asked and answered. Too bad this virus has delayed several primaries or you'd have a few more Biden blue answers by now.
