END TO END BERNERS: The Official Bernie Sanders 2020 Crew thread

EXCLUSIVE: As Sanders floats at the top of the polls, previously unreported statements from the '70s where he compared predominantly white workers in his home state of Vermont to black slaves may put his past and judgment into questionhttps://t.co/s8V6GKl5yE

That a politician who's often said racism is a consequence of economic conditions would say this in 1970-whatever doesn't surprise me, and get ready for more of it.

I love the framing of “the sale of a privately held mining company by its founders.” Bernie attacking small business owners!

I didn't click through to read the "statements" but my god "compare" is such a weak line of attack

If this is the calibre of the remaining oppo I'm not especially concerned

it will be the DNC crowd's version of "but her emails"

I don't even think using an ill-chosen simile 40-odd years ago is as serious as being under FBI investigation (for some dumb email storage issue) at the time you are campaigning.

Anyway, has dude come out against the drone program?

he said it was just like the holocaust

considering the source this is less a sign that Obama is seriously "considering a public statement" than it is a sign that various people are begging him to https://t.co/8eSjbKQaFP

or that Fox wants to stoke the flames.

‘NO NOT LIKE THAT’ warns former ‘change’ candidate

Has O heard of the bros?

I tried to parse "Dem Party sources who have spoken to Barack Obama" and have concluded that there could easily be over 100,000 humans who would fit this extremely vague category.

it was me sorry

Not to brag, but I get personalized emails from Barack several times a year. Sometimes Michelle drops me a line as well.

Among those 100,000 humans, I'd imagine residents of rural Iowa and NH would be over-represented.

centrists dems who are worried have a lot more faith in bernie's ability to enact real change than i do apparently

yeah, the Dems will block him if nec, no worries

p sure they think he's "unelectable"

This is interesting, as to what proportion of establishment Dems will fall behind and what proportion will go never Bernie, should it get to that point

Would the real danger be Bloomberg as a third party runner?

The concessions Bernie got from the party will help avoid that sort of thing, but who knows.

My dark conspiracy theory is Biden will win a lot of delegates but drop out because of his age and some bullshit ass dark horse candidate will swoop in.

Bloomberg has vowed to support D nominee, explicitly

so

My secret wish: Bloomberg's paying the restitution and court fees for Florida felons.

^both practical and functional, but rewards the fuckfaces who passed that requirement into law

it probably reflects well on the health of his campaign that you all have managed to spend 50 posts today talking about these nothing stories

Would be interesting to see what kind of bump he got from the Iran debacle. That was a very "oh shit, foreign policy matters" moment and I think it left even more people wondering just what the fuck we are doing in the Middle East.

hey guys sorry to be uncynically hopeful and all that in this thread on this board but i'm super jazzed about bernie and the other night i imagined him winning and realized if it happened i'd basically be running in the streets crying. but even if this is as far as he gets the fact that people like him and aoc having an effect, even if it isn't nearly enough of one, are making the trainwreck of daily existence a little bit more manageable! yeah baby!

May it come to pass.

Just signed up for 2 more phone bank shifts. Let's make it happen.

ayyyyyyyy

It’s not impossible

That manages to be uglier than the original comment.

Do we know who Adam Corolla is voting for?

bernie winning rogan's endorsement without even slightly soft-pedalling his ideas is a good thing imo

honestly it's probably more consequential than an NYT ensorsement. his audience is HUGE

wtf I love Rogan now.

so Rogan withdrew his Gabbard endorsement?

rogan still sucks

well yeah

well, yeah

jinx

Top 3 YT comments, all recent, in response to last year's Bernie interview:

jesus fricken christ, I just realized that I allowed my opinion of this guy to be designed by everyone else. I actually like this dude.

This is really making me think, before now all i'd seen of Bernie is conservative videos and hit pieces, but he sounds really interesting and intelligent when given the time to give a full statement.

Wow... I thought this man was a complete lunatic but he sounds like an intelligent man who knows what he's talking about. The American media and American voters completely destroyed my opinion of Bernie... I feel so bad for him.

Say what you will about Rogan, this is all encouraging stuff.

Then go to a video of Rogan talking about trans women, and see how encouraging you think those comments are

Hope it helps Bernie beat Biden, but Rogan clearly sucks

we've been over this elsewhere but unfortunately Rogan is pretty much the only place you can go do to a long-form interview and discuss your ideas at length without interruption that gets a ton of receptive eyeballs.

this is more an indictment of American media than it is a compliment towards Rogan
