Can you recommend good non-mainstream and trustworthy media sources references? Thanks
Biden accuses Sanders campaign of releasing 'doctored' video, calls it a lie:

On top of all of this, I also believe that there is a 0% chance of Joe Biden winning the presidency, aka beating Trump. His record is the embodiment of everything Trump ran against in 2016 and if you guys think he wont pull that fake populist thing again, you're crazy. He's already doing it on twitter by calling out the DNC planning on cheating Bernie in 2020. Let me say this again, the only thing that can beat a fake right wing populist is a real Left Wing Populist. |
What's more, Trump is running on emotions, not facts. And with all his gaffes, Biden really serves Trump the ammunition he's gonna use against his democratic opponent himself, and on a silver platter to boot. Trump would crush Biden due to this alone.
Trump can't do that with Bernie. Trump would call him a socialist, but that's the reason why he's winning, so Trump got noting here. Only thing would be Bernie's age... but Trump barely is any younger.
Edit: While we're at Biden vs Bernie: Biden just lost the first national democratic poll since mid November to Bernie: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-election-democrats-poll/sanders-climbs-now-tied-with-biden-among-registered-voters-reuters-poll-idUSKBN1ZG00D

Just gonna Leave this thread here for Biden on Social Security real quick.
How many times does @JoeBiden have to tell you he wants to cut Social Security for everyone to believe him? And how many video clips have to exist for people to worry that these would likely all be devastating Trump ads, if Biden is the nominee?

I'm not a fan of Biden in the least. I hope he loses the nomination, because if he wins it we are losing the general election. That being said, the Bernie camp is spreading an outright lie about him wanting to shut down Social Security. I won't stand for that. Here's what Biden said in it's full context...
Biden is making fun of Paul Ryan's Social Security cuts, not promoting them.
Would be nice if Bernie hired / surrounded himself with decent people for a change.

Apparently no one bothered to click Uran's links. Biden may not have advocated "shutting down" Social Security in the clip above, just as he never advocated "shutting it down" but that doesn't mean he didn't advocate cutting it in some way. Here he is advocating freezing it, and sure, he advocates freezing all spending, but why freeze something that millions of seniors depend on to live?
JOE BIDEN: “When I argued that we should freeze federal spending, I meant Social Security as well. I meant Medicare & Medicaid. I meant veterans’ benefits....And I not only tried it once, I tried it twice, I tried it a 3rd time & I tried it a 4th time.”https://t.co/TpoSdmjGhA pic.twitter.com/MIAx4nO9Qa

Look how proud he is of that! Know what else he's proud of? Working to get a constitutional amendment to require a balanced budget, something that Paul Ryan wanted for years because it would FORCE the cutting of Social Security. Here's that:

And lest you say that was a long time ago, here he is running for President in 07, again supporting Social Security cuts.
NEWS: Another clip emerges of @JoeBiden saying we must consider cuts to Social Security & Medicare. When asked if changes to eligibility age & COLAs should be considered, he said in 2007: "Absolutely...You’ve got to put all of it on the table"

If you want to call Bernie a liar, I can't stop you, but I suggest you believe Biden when he says he wants to cut Social Security, because these clips aren't hard to find and will make for some potent ads against Biden in the general election.
And to those who don't believe me that the balanced budget amendment was a longtime Paul Ryan dream:
Here he is doing it in 2018:
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2018/03/28/republicans-consider-balanced-budget-amendment-after-adding-more-than-1-trillion-to-the-deficit/
Here he is opposing it in 2011 because he wanted an even tougher version:
https://www.politico.com/story/2011/11/balanced-budget-amendment-rejected-068695
Here's an article explaining how the amendment is really just a ploy to cut Social Security and Medicare:
https://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/2018/04/11/gop-balanced-budget-amendment-shred-medicare-social-security-column/497678002/
This is what Joe Biden bragged about supporting, decades before Paul Ryan became Speaker. I'm not saying he's the second coming of Paul Ryan, not in the slightest, but he has terrible instincts for a Democrat. He's not just a centrist, he's bad at being a centrist.
