This is a valuable thread - sane responses from sane people about the latest fly-off-the-handle nonsense. Oh, and to state the obvious: Lis Smith is a treasure.
Picking a great campaign staff (and he DOES have great staff - extremely competent, and kind, too) is a sign that Pete and his team have their act completely together. A good sign that he'll pick terrific staff as president, too.
His staff are also also good evidence that Pete is very clear about who he is, why he's running, and what his priorities are. Often, it seems to me, if a candidate is muddled about why he/she is running, the campaign staff will also be muddled and in disarray. Pete is not, and neither is his staff.
If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden

I applaud the mad scramble in Pete World to distance themselves from Zuckerberg BeyondGeography Oct 2019 #10

Zuckerberg and his wife only forwarded a few FB employees' CV's over at THE EMPLOYEES' own request Celerity Oct 2019 #13
Lol...if you don't think Zuck AND his wife eagerly forwarding job refs to Pete's campaign manager BeyondGeography Oct 2019 #15
I guess not, I am on planet reality and fairplay, you seem to prefer planet selective shady spin Celerity Oct 2019 #16
Just lending some needed balance to this insistent nothing-to-see-here thread BeyondGeography Oct 2019 #17
No, you are trying to continue to push the same tosh that the very article itself debunks, tosh that Celerity Oct 2019 #21

your attempt at satire, snark and shade (Triple S, just like Balenciaga!! LOLOL) is weak, dont quit Celerity Oct 2019 #22
So, somehow the fact they knew each other in college debunks it? kcr Oct 2019 #28
Debunks your theory that's made up with no actual evidence from the start? mr_lebowski Oct 2019 #32
While not everyone is a fan of my attempt at satire. kcr Oct 2019 #34
It's equally ludicrous to suggest it's as physically difficult for Zuck to forward a resume mr_lebowski Oct 2019 #38
Really? That's what you think I was trying to suggest? kcr Oct 2019 #40

I think it's foolish that it needs to be debunked in the first place. TidalWave46 Oct 2019 #41
It's funny how clear it is to our side the silliness of the RW's Clinton/Soros bullshit ... mr_lebowski Oct 2019 #44
