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

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.

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

Say what you will about Rogan

ok: he sucks complete goddamn ass

Simon sadly otm.

If Bernie is going to be president he is going to need lots of people far worse than Rogan to vote for him. If he's able to do that without changing his message thats great

We may have forgotten to note that the NYT sucks too, post their endorsement of Warren Klobuchar, although search is currently broken for me

I find it hard to believe we could have gone a day without pointing out NYT sucks, but if true it's definitely an oversight.

Yeah as a trans woman, reading the comments on the various Twitter threads just makes me super-excited to have Rogan's fans brought into the fold.

yeah yeah but remember! Separate fans from the candidate!

it's not like by voting for someone else these people will suddenly go away

even the worst people shoud be welcome in supporting the right candidate—not least because they're injuring their own cause

"can you wipe the grime off of the ballot when they hand them in?" is kind of the eternal question of getting votes

FOr me this is no different than the "we have to go after rural diner NYT article voters." No thanks. Let's just get the nonvoters activated and stop vote suppression instead.

even the worst people shoud be welcome in supporting the right candidate—not least because they're injuring their own cause

Alternatively, depending on numbers, they may be injuring MY cause.

only to the extent they influence the candidate

The nonvoters aren't necessarily good people either, I'm afraid.

true

getting bigots on board with Bernie—and inclined to defend him—is more likely to influence their thinking than his

What a bizarre idea
