As with all of her posts, she's just flinging feces at the wall to see what sticks. The most disingenuous poster on the board. You have to literally fact check anything she writes because she'll flat out lie and is completely unashamed about it.
BTW, while Buttigieg does mention he's a veteran first, he calls himself a husband in the first fataing sentence still. It's not like it was an afterthought. And look at me, taking her stupid little bait by talking about the order in which Pete writes his identity on his Twitter profile as though it matters, yet GS had to bring it up as its own post to claim he's fake.
Zero integrity.

In Buttigieg's case he has to for the simple reason it balances out some of the homophobic bigotry he is going to have to overcome, it also plays so well against Trump and his draft dodging bone spurs, Bernie's conscientious objector status and however the hell Bloomberg avoided serving

Go look at Obama, Clinton, Kerry, Romney, Cruz, Kasich's twitter. They all say dad or husband first.

Who gives a rat's ass? Holy hell, what a stupid thing to focus on.

“I want to talk specifically for just a minute at the top about a threat that is coming our way,” began Warren, who first came out swinging against the billionaire upstart candidate at Wednesday night’s debates.
“And it’s a big threat — not a tall one, but a big one: Michael Bloomberg.”

So calling a woman fat or ugly is unacceptable, but short jokes are perfectly fine. I can't stand Warren.

You say that, but there is a known link between how tall a candidate is and how likely he is to win a majority of votes.
These things play hard on people's unconscious biases.

Are people who identify as husbands first on their Twitter profiles generally taller than people who identify first as war vets and second as husbands?

It bothers me more that Biden’s campaign is saying the same crap, which is exceptionally dishonest considering that he was Obama’s VP when Obama made the same points as Bernie to justify normalizing relations with Cuba. Heck Jill Biden even went to Cuba to highlight their education system.

I'm not sure if you're being disingenuous or are actively dumb.
I referenced height - something that has been actively studied - as an example of personal traits that unconsciously affect our biases toward or against political candidates. One would have to be rather hopeless to think that the other characteristics they are playing up - like military service and family history - aren't being played up for the same reasons.
You want to chastise Girly for being upset that military service was listed first in that bio, but the simple fact is it is listed first for a reason. This is all part of careful character management on the part of his team.

GirlySports criticism is the reason these small nothing issues are researched endlessly. Voters care about the dumbest crap.

No one's even mentioning the real aspect of Bernie's unelectability...
A bald man (not incl Trump because who knows) has not been elected as US President since Eisenhower's second term in 1956. And Bernie's pretty far from the most important general in human history.

I'm sorry, this is such a weird criticism. So there's some kind of rule for social media that, if you're a dad or a husband, it has to go first? If you don't, it totally speaks to your character, lack there of? What's the rationale to that? Who knew that's what some people use to judge other people lol. I might have unwittingly made social media faux pas without even realizing it!

Recording of Bloomberg leaks where he promises a room full of Goldman Sachs execs he would "look after his peeps". As if he wasn't already despicable enough.
Quote:
Presidential candidate Michael Bloomberg is being criticised for telling bankers he would have defended them as president in a leaked audio from a private Goldman Sachs event in 2016.
At the event, Mr Bloomberg first described the audience as his “peeps”, and said that had he run for president that year, his “first campaign platform” would have been “to defend the banks.”
But, he added, “you know how well that’s gonna go down in this country”.
Mr Bloomberg then defended the banks more seriously: “Somebody's gotta stand up and do what we need. A healthy banking system that's going to take risks because that's what creates the jobs for everybody. And nobody's willing to say that.”
The audio was uploaded to hosting platform Soundcloud and sent to CNN and several journalists. The sender used the email address and username “CancelGoldman”, and claimed to have worked at Goldman Sachs for 14 years.
