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

which is one major reason why Warren's endorsement or lack thereof would be a big deal

their politics are ostensibly similar but their bases are absolutely not the same demos

"Addressing the worries" should be a two-way street - bourgeois feminists have not proven to be reliable advocates for non-bourgeois women quite often (see also: if not for the wage gap women could just fly to where abortions are legal, all the things Gold details).

You can call that a "problem of the left" in terms of electoral politics, but it's a moral problem for the bourgeois as well.

I agree.

"I'm not too partial to the gold article but its approach is similar which presumably is why xxxxxyyzyzy thought to post it"

It unpacked some of content on the twitter thread. I guess it starts from that picture posted on twitter and as a lot of people here don't engage in it..

I wouldn't say it was that long - sure it wasn't edited to New Yorker standards and it probably needs re-shaping because I was also looking for the ending too at one point before it suddenly ending, but anyway its good that it made all the points that everyone appreantly knows and we can just keep on going like we are. I guess the bourgeois feminists can turn out for Biden instead.

Lovely hit piece on page one of the NYTissue of Lies today: "Papers Detail Soviet Hopes for Sanders" (1980s sister-cities nothingburger). But AT LEAST IT'S NOT BERNIE BROS, amirite?

Gorbachev announced Glasnost in 1985, and proposed a ban on all nuclear weapons by the year 2000 in 1986; the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991. This is all just so pathetic and historically illiterate. https://t.co/JeIoVFjuyV

The Sister Cities Program was literally praised by the Reagan White House in 1986. Give me a break.

We interrupt your regularly scheduled discourse

Eventually she handed him her "Baby Bear," a gesture of tremendous trust in a strange man, as any parent of a toddler attached to a stuffed animal can confirm. Bernie took the bear, smiled, and asked her to tell him about her backpack. It was an incredibly sweet moment. pic.twitter.com/kLo1qpApiz

ban the 80s
who gives a fuck about Reagan and the Cold War?

Online bullying is bad you know

this is the reaction of twitter user "bernie sanders rape fantasy" to footage of *an actual Nazi flag* that someone brought to bernie's really tonight. does anyone in the media want to do a story on this maybe pic.twitter.com/46V1G0RB45

now that I've voted for the motherfucker I open this thread, and it's more twitter nonsense. Doctor Casino on the other thread soooooo otm about this.

They didn't use any snake emojis so it's fine.

xp rather that than a load of anti-Bernie shit imo! (But sorry, it’s just the medium we work with now).

Congratulations for doing the Bernie Bros a favour.

that tweet with bernie and the kid with her stuffed animal is very sweet and has cheered me up a bit on this otherwise horrible day for twitter and everything else

Saying something in 1988 was the start of a 'years long effort' by the Soviets is pretty fucking funny. And very pathetic

I'm sure in 1991 they were just about ready to use comrade Sanders to finally win the cold war, but then stuff happened

The best Bernie content you’ll see all day (apologies to Euler)

It is admittedly hard to see those who care about civility + toxicity (which I understand) sit in silence about the disturbing antisemitism emerging around Sen. Sanders. A pundit also compared him to a disease on national TV.

It’s disturbing. If you care, please care everywhere. https://t.co/hMSJ87Id52

AOC OTM IMO

MSNBC—the outlet which multiple times likened Sanders' campaign to Nazis—has posted the same tweet twice today about online "ugliness" from purported Sanders supporters.

Shocked, shocked that Christian America doesn’t grasp the gravity of anti-Jewish hatred

similarly shocked that MSNBC only cares about "ugliness" from the left

Hey, the eventual told you so is almost as good as having healthcare and not drowning in rising seas.

Well done on the photo choice.

The Hill also had a story about how Bailey was "running for first dog" and it was "stressful". I love journalism

The centrist lane, the progressive lane, the adorkable lane.

the thing about "well-timed" is that the best possible timing would have been last monday, the second-best would have been any time this week

yup, and the fact that both have blown by is what makes me at least 90% sure it ain't gonna happen at all

When you've been told "fuck you, you're awful" often enough by an opponent's supporters, it makes it a bit harder to stop and say, "you know, you guys are right; I'm fucked up and your guy is God's own truth".

If her dedication to progressive reform did not outweigh her Twitter mentions... yikes.

it's definitely worth undermining the possible future of the vital policies you ostensibly support because some teenagers were mean on the internet.

So, she is supposed to absorb as much abuse as you think fit and count it as nothing? Is that the new rule?

Ideally she's not wasting her time reading Twitter responses.

when was the world ideal?

So, she is supposed to absorb as much abuse as you think fit and count it as nothing? Is that the new rule?

If the candidate/campaign in question routinely condemns said abuse, and it occurs on a platform that's deeply susceptible to both silly hyperbole and outright fakery, then yeah, kinda!

Snake emojis are not abuse and she wanted to be President, a job where you're criticized 24/7 around the globe.

I don't see Bernie's campaign condemning any other candidates for their supporters' racist and anti-Semitic horseshit he and his surrogates have had to endure.

So I looked up the SPUSA nominee and they did a unity ticket with the fuckin Greens.

I wish I could remember which specific commie strain/sect the SPUSA belonged to so I could recall specifically which part of their ideological history I could make fun of them for

They're just straight Eugene Debs-worshiping dem socs

she wanted to be President, a job where you're criticized 24/7 around the globe.

true that. but it does not stop one from considering whether you should endorse that criticism, based on whether you thought it just, or simply abusive. abusive criticism is never likely to earn an endorsement. demanding an endorsement because you thing you 'deserve' it is also a questionable way to extract such an endorsement. this is not practical politics, so much as practical human relations.

So back to what I said - if snake emojis outweigh all of your stated principles... hope President Biden is on board to roll back the bankruptcy bill that he wrote that she got into politics to fight.

it amazes me that you cannot see any reason why such treatment at the hands of Bernie's supporters might, uh, complicate what you see as Warren's clear obligations to you. this reminds me of teenagers who can simultaneously mock their parents and do whatever can they think of to make them miserable, then relying on those same parents to support them, feed them and generally deliver non-stop gratification of their desires, because it is their obligation to do so.

But it doesn't matter - she's out and not up for reelection until 2024 so barring a surprise endorsement her relevance is minor and her mentions can go back to being peaceful.

how gracious of you

Anyway I hope Trump and Biden both die before November
