Current Events > hot scoop: pelosi held on to impeachment until now to help biden win iowa

(+) Yeah! (+)

Specifically to undercut Sanders in Iowa, but also Warren and Klobuchar.

I have no source that I can disclose for this, but I trust them. And it makes sense to me.

I haven't been in the loop lately. How would this help Biden?

Bernie and Warren must report to the Senate for the impeachment. Biden gets to continue campaigning while they're at a stand still.

the other candidates need to participate in the senate trial, which will hinder their ability to campaign

I also just saw that this is a theory circulating around right wing media outlets. I heard it from a democrat, though.

Aaaaah I see

That's fucking shifty af

I mean, it would hurt more if Joe Biden actually did a lot of campaign events, but...
Bernie, at least, will be able to call upon AOC to campaign in his absence.

good to see the bernie boom-bust cycle operating on schedule

With the way things going, they really need to have Trump removed to win.

Biden ick

And rumors of sabotage again?

Against an incumbent.

No

She clearly postponed it to wait for her pens to be delivered

Pulling the senators off the trail was just an unfortunate coincidence

So... does this source work in politics or something?

Because this theory has been going around for weeks.

Neither Biden or Bernie are bad candidates. Why try get involved? Doesn't make sense to me.

Yes

Do you feel like sharing some sources on this rumor going back even a week? The earliest I can see is from the 14th of this month

The Bernie bros have been screaming it the second that she delayed. It was generally written off as a conspiracy theory. Is there anything to indicate that it is anything more than that?

I don't think it's the main reason why but for sure it's a two birds with one stone move.

I'd be waiting on hard evidence before pushing around thoughts like these, tbh.

I don't think that's true. I'm around a lot of Berniebros and haven't seen them share that, even now actually. I'm ready to be proven wrong.

edit -- well, I have seen a couple accusations that she was scared to do it because of Hunter Biden or whatever, but this particular thing seems to be new and also not coming from Sanders

there's never going to be hard evidence for or against it, that's not how politics works. that's why Im sharing it anonymously on ce tho

People have been suspecting this for weeks now.

@shockthemonkey made fun of progressives pushing this theory like a month ago

But like, the with the tendency for Bernie supporters to spiral into conspiracy theories to support a persecution complex, you could see how this could be unwise?

Unless it's strategy, in which case it's good, but pretty fucked up.

Just search, man. It took me about a minute to find on reddit and those werent even the sources that I heard it from.

What does it even matter if this has been going around for awhile? Isnt the purpose of your post to say that you have some sort of inside information that confirms it but you cant disclose any details?

It doesn't matter, really. I legitimately follow this stuff and am curious and can't see it on any of my lefty friends pages.

Bernie doesn't need to be literally in states to campaign. It helps but since all his donations come from private small donors he doesn't have any business partners to meet with. If he was there he would mostly just be shaking hands with people who were already going to vote for him.

This hurts Warren and Klobuchar much worse.

Thats exactly why I wont post any sources. You need to learn to gather information from outside your bubble. The fact that you didnt see anything in your friends pages means nothing because your friends could be any number of things.

Although honestly, I think youre just trying to waste peoples time.
