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

Bernard, please

mr. sanders if you're nasty

https://www.politico.com/news/2020/01/31/dnc-superdelegates-110083

seems like some DNC ppl are trying to change the rules mid-game, but are very bad at it

Eh -- I wouldn't trust classic POLITICO reporting of anonymous sources

Dudes, let's not fall for this again. One paragraph says:

A small group of Democratic National Committee members has privately begun gauging support for a plan to potentially weaken Bernie Sanders’ presidential campaign and head off a brokered convention.

And? This is clickbait. I tell my students to avoid writing this shit.

just gonna leave this here

Yeah, "small group" = half a dozen people. Tom Perez has emphatically stated that it's not happening.

irl lol at Barney sandals

no joek if Warren is a no then my next in order of preference is Michael Render

campaign co-chair at least. the whole appearance video was great when (iirc) kingfish posted it last year, and that twitterer's ersatz ad is so charming.

also enjoy the idea of Bernie convincing Mike to campaign for Nominee Warren, and him turning up at her rallies to yell at and energise loads of white ladies in cardigans

killer mike for president

I'm willing to accept that, like the Hipster Coffee Shop genre of tweet, stories like this showing up on my feed are maybe slightly embellished, or given an extra punch of pathos to be used as a tool

But seeing many threads like this this weekend is just so fucking cool. Click through for the whole, it's worth it.

I was knocking the last couple of doors in my packet for @BernieSanders this afternoon and ended up having one of the most difficult but meaningful voter interactions I’ve ever had. It firmly cemented for me that Sanders is truly a once-in-a-lifetime candidate.

We were calling South Carolina today (apparently b/c the campaign was so flush with volunteers that Iowa was already covered) and almost everyone who picked up was 70 or over. One lady (first name Bernice, last name not Anders) was on the fence bw Bernie and a couple others. She said "I just want to get someone nice in there and he seems like a nice man." It was v cute, u had to be there.

Will surprise no one: back channel has Warren surging in the Selzer poll. Buttigieg, Klobuchar, Biden in hold pattern. Sanders in free fall on Rogan/Wallace/booing. We'll see in 48 hours.

I honestly don't know if this is true. Could it be BS? Maybe. Could it be true? Also maybe. We're all prisoners of what we're hearing!

BIG IF TRUE

Beurre Ne Sans D'aires

it's really the perfect poll

Sounds like bullshit to me

yeah baby

IMPORTANT: I just got off the phone with a Bernie volunteer who said that caucus locations are being switched in Iowa, and particularly in places where Bernie is polling well. Make sure to communicate with other Bernie voters in your area about location updates. #Bernie2020 #Iowa

Burp near Sandhurst

xp I can find no other information about that so I’m assuming it’s bullshit

Not to discount the very legitimate concerns raised by the Rogan matter but from a purely horse race perspective I don’t think any of those three stories referenced above are going to make a blip on the actual race.

They are shuffling some locations due to anticipated increased turnout but afaict it’s not related to particular candidates

All Bernie positive districts will now vote in Diagon Alley.

You love to see it.

Don’t love to click on the Washington Examiner tho

it shows biden with a 5% lead in SC, his firewall state

cool link here

PS earlier this week they stopped taking texting volunteers temporarily because they've now texted every voter in the database?? Fucking incredible

as someone who sent out over 3000 texts, i take full responsibility

to be fair, the post and courier has been a SC outlier, the only poll to really show sanders in a competitive race. all the others show a ~20% biden lead which i reckon is closer to the truth at the moment, but could change if biden loses the first three states.

xps to myself

bernie will win

Steyer!

I’m trying to decide what I think about the Current Affairs article that implies anyone who absolutely will not caucus for Sanders should be encouraged to support anyone other than Warren

I get the strategic idea that’s being pitched, that it’s more likely support will shift and it lines up the race for a single candidate on the left against a fractured centrist field by super tuesday, but... hrrm

Lolololol

I highly doubt that Current Affairs has enough influence over the voters who will be caucusing in Iowa or Nevada to shift the outcome by even 1%. But they can pretend someone might actually heed their unsolicited advice.
