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

^^toxic bro bragging about his sentience up here

shhh Maddow is on

kingfish kingfish kingfish

Met many a person in WA that had already mailed in their ballot

yah this is a real bummer: I'd like to think several of the Liz Ladies I know who voted weeks ago would have changed their vote to Bernard if given the option, but can she still get assigned floating delegates after she drops out?

All of the candidates who dropped out have more officially speaking "suspended their active campaigns", meaning they can still win delegates right up to the convention.

Kingfish, while you're out there, can you try to find and canvass that little finch that endorsed Bernie in 2016? I don't think we should count on Liz at this point.

(It was in Portland after all)

Solid foreign election interference action

Going to start phonebanking tonight. Not giving this up without a fight.

Ha, saw Simon's link now. I actually did double-check if this counts as foreign interference!: https://www.fec.gov/help-candidates-and-committees/candidate-taking-receipts/volunteer-activity/

I want to know Bernie’s thoughts on Antichrist and Dancer in the Dark

He has been studying The Kingdom to see how socialized health care systems work

Bernie never tweeted about Parasite did he? :-(

If you're canvassing Florida over the next week, I did a small part of your routing in VAN.

Two turfs canvassed today, bailed out on the second one because the hills and suburban sprawl can be too much when one’s shin starts complaining after walking uphill too much and the canvass buddy has a drained phone battery. Much better weather, at least.

If any of you can, get on the MI/WA dialers, unless you have a southern accent lets you call into MS too

Theres texting available too, looks like this

I don’t think any major news outlet has covered this, but the Bernie text service has an entire procedure for immediately escalating and correcting dead-naming for trans contacts that is massively responsive.

That rules.

This is a pretty good read:

I still think as much as he needs to bulk up his electability, he should focus just as much if not more on tearing down Joe's. But maybe it's better to let everyone else be mean about it.

for better or worse, i think sanders wants to use all his mic time to hammer his core themes. if he loses, he wants to have amplified that message as much as possible. whereas if he goes after biden, all that will circulate and all anybody will ask him about for the rest of his campaign (or the rest of his life) is his comments on joe biden. especially if biden then loses to trump and bernie gets blamed. mind you, i may be projecting because i don't want to have to live through that either.

i did a few rounds of canvasssing for jessica cisneros (lost her priary challenge by <4% shiiiiiyet) and yeah, the sprawl is a marathon

I doubt, by nature, that he'd go scorched earth even if he was alone but doing so would blow back on Omar, Tlaib, AOC, everyone working for him who's going to be working in movement politics for a long time (hopefully).

Warren just endorsed Bernie!

j/k, she's still on the fence because it's such a tough call to make, amirite?

(for the hundredth time this week) sigh

You made my heart jump for a moment there

Sorry, I missed the clusterfuck.

Xp

Good morning everyone. I think my legs are slightly better today

Good to hear, kingfish

i feel like all my comrades need to see this rn

is he conducting a symphony

A++ conducting

man i didn't think there could be a worse place for snidely talking past each other than twitter but this thread is in contention

Talking past one another till the planet burns I don't make the rules.

Questioning whether there is anything in Uncle Joe's mind is Trump playbook. Cool.

this thread's in contention for a lot of things.

like being set on fire for one

My favorite part of the "Bernie Sanders didn't have a job till he was 40" thing is that you can literally google his resume and see that he just had normal ass working class jobs like being a carpenter, teacher, or health aide, but i guess poor people jobs don't count lmaoooo

Sitting here sadly contemplating Mr Sanders getting hammered tomorrow in favour of some glad-handing establishment clown. It really sucks to be an idealist.

Yeah, people will tell you your politics are childish but there’s nothing wrong with candidates whose views are in line with your own and who you’re enthusiastic about.

I have broken through my fog of worry about tomorrow. whatever happens, happens but I know I’m going to see this through to the end. first up is canvassing in Chicago this upcoming weekend

Every leftist playing this symphony to the last note

especially if biden then loses to trump and bernie gets blamed.

this will happen no matter what he says, guaranfuckingteed

One boomer that's ok

Very clear on what a disaster Biden is:

it’s really as simple as the fact that joe biden is a weaker candidate than hillary clinton was with as many if not more liabilities and a harder election to win running against an incumbent. and hillary lost. there’s literally no reason to expect biden to perform better.

Of course there is the handling of events in the coming months. And that a lot of that would be true with Sanders as well and yet there are such key differences too.

bernie sanders, repair this memoirist's marriage

also applicable to the quids and ags thread

trying to imagine the likely reaction if a sanders supporter had written a column saying they couldn't forgive their partner for voting for warren

spouses be getting mad

several tearful tweet threads

the promise of compromise lmao
