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

probably also Rachel Maddow's dentist

Can’t wait for shit for brain “Fred B” defense of Joy Reid And her homophobe bs
Maybe he’ll revive Nerdstrom to take the heat for that

Is this the body language thing?

THIS IS HUGE: bernie has secured the endorsement of william 'bill' s. preston, esq

Bernie now has my endorsement for the Primary. Will vote Dem in the General, whoever it is. https://t.co/nV9tQ8mDdi

the NYT itself ran a story last year about how Sanders worked closely w/ Harry Reid on "practical" political matters

ie they are now lying to protect the threat to their profits

I know this won't be a popular thing to say, but hear me out. It seems reasonable to assert that Bernie may be less willing to compromise than some other candidates in order to get things done. Case in point: he refuses to back the USMCA trade agreement, one of the few compromises worked about between Republicans and Democrats in this Congress, despite saying it was an improvement on the existing deal. Even Warren was willing to back it. Now that may just be one data point and I'm sure a case could be made that he's right do so, but it's suggestive of an approach that differs a bit from other candidates.

I think it's fair to say his view is different from other candidates on a lot of things. That said, I'm all for not backing "major" trade agreements that don't even mention climate change, let alone take steps to tackle it.

I think the difference between Bernie and others in congress known as negotiators/compromisers is that he has specific political goals and standards that he wouldn't compromise

I feel like a lot of the dealing done (especially in the Clinton era) came down to "well, we got rid of all that rancid bathwater, and we even kept half the baby!"

yes, having solid standards is popularly known as "purity"

Actually, I think Ezra Klein pointed out that Warren was much less flexible than Sanders in congress before 2016.

love the centrist trope “getting things done in Congress” is a good thing absent any moral context. If only Sanders cosponsored more serious bipartisan efforts like The Make Grandma Eat Ramen Bill, The Help Israel Expedite Ethnic Cleansing Amendment, or The Drill Alaska Dry Act

the Keep College Students Off Ramen Act.

hmm no treeship's image seems pretty definitive. also I don't have to do any reading

congrats to Bernie for getting the prestigious NY Times endorsement

imagine falling for an obviously fake NYT link, I mean, isn’t Klobuchar polling in the single digits

You've swayed me, I'll go get my dunce cap.

the nytimes endorsed bernie, not warren/klobuchar

imagine falling for an obviously fake NYT link, I mean, isn’t Klobuchar polling in the single digits

they almost got me, but 6 votes for Booker, who already dropped out? please.

the new york times has always loved bernie. they endorsed him over hillary too.

he has the support of the full establishment, god bless him. we just need to get the word out.

anyone here doing the phone or text-banking for bernie?

Mr. Sanders would be 79 when he assumed office, and after an October heart attack, his health is a serious concern. Then, there’s how Mr. Sanders approaches politics. He boasts that compromise is anathema to him. Only his prescriptions can be the right ones, even though most are overly rigid, untested and divisive. He promises that once in office, a groundswell of support will emerge to push through his agenda. Three years into the Trump administration, we see little advantage to exchanging one over-promising, divisive figure in Washington for another.

OVERLY RIGID, UNTESTED AND DIVISIVE

Kind of looking at Trump and Biden and being like, yeah, it’s Bernie’s health that’s the issue

my favorite Killing Joke album xp

honour the bern

heartbern

Sounds like a SERIOUS CONCERN.

that reads like how he’d say it

Biden is dismissed as too old as well. And Buttigieg is too young. But luckily Klobuchar is just right!

Kind of looking at Trump and Biden and being like, yeah, it’s Bernie’s health that’s the issue

― steer karma (gyac)

have they survived heart attacks?

personally I find cognitive decline way more concerning than a defective heart; dying in office not that big a deal if the agenda's in place

That was the case for Arthur, Truman, and LBJ, certainly not for Tyler and Lincoln. I guess TR is a muddle.

xxp would Trump admit if he had? He’d be on tv the next day eating McDonalds and claiming to be the healthiest guy ever. Anyway yeah I meant the cognitive thing.

trump had a heart attack a few months ago

or might have. there was that whole thing.

we have good evidence now that the country can function for an extended period of time with a leadership vacuum at the top

Ah, yes, the wholly untested idea of single-payer health care! What in the world ever made Bernie think such a cockamamie idea would ever work in real life?

oh, when he gagged on the Filet O Fish

i would have to watch a lot more footage of Biden speaking pre-2018 in order for me to determine whether he's actually experienced a cognitive decline

Lol, instead of listing Bernie in their poll, @abc7newsbayarea counted his votes under "Other." And he's winning 😂 pic.twitter.com/DMliPkfD9Y

I'm not an expert on US poll etiquette, but othering the leader seems quite a rum do.
