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

haven't watched enough of THE IRISHMAN (2019) to discover if it explores how the union vote was deployed against mcgovern's "straight shooter" vibe: mcgovern inherited all the starry-eyed youngsters who thought RFK was purely a good guy in the kennedy-hoffa feud :\

tactically and strategically this was a bad thing to think: whatever their other virtues, dems after mcgovern were all busily anti-union

Another McGovern parallel: he proposed an early form of UBI, a thousand dollars annually paid to every American citizen. Not sure what that works out to in 2020 dollars.

Twenty million dollars iirc

Yang should propose to give Americans 12 thousand dollars and then send them far enough back in time that they can live like kings off it for a year

Bernie Sanders, say it back

This has the added bonus of ridding us of the Yang Gang. Win-win imo

what time do the results start pourin in

right after the corn is husked

Bernie wins the first caucus in the state.

Bernie Sanders wins the first votes of the primary — including Ethiopian immigrants who work the night shift at the local pork processing plant — in a county that went for Obama twice & flipped to Trump in 2016.

We’re gonna win. This is how. #NotMeUshttps://t.co/oVkS4g8otF https://t.co/re8oLsXC2W

kinda lol but mostly etc

Why lol? The working class is banding together to create a more humane country

morbs perrin must not tweet about farming much

Going into tonight, a reminder to everyone that polls show a very close race
feel like bernie folks like me might letting themselves get too dizzy-confident
in almost any given poll each of Sanders, Biden, Buttigieg (!) and often Warren are within the margin of error to win
there are 3 legit ways to count the results, so someone other than Sanders is likely to win some if not all

also however, from montreal:
go bernie

re results/timing, from NYT:

The Iowa presidential caucuses begin at 8 p.m. Eastern time at more than 1,600 sites across the state. The caucuses vary in length; small gatherings can be over in minutes, larger ones can last up to two hours.

The first results are expected at 8:30 p.m. Eastern time, with most results in hand by 11 p.m.

dropping into this thread i don't post in anymore to say: go bernie

sorry, treesh, but the working class is as polarized as the rest of the country. that's where the majority of the anti-immigrant sentiment is coming from. the bosses aren't anti-immigrant, but they are happy to ride that pony, if it gets their stooges into places of power and working for them.

Treesh the lol is from the pathos of one person standing in a group by themself

we've got a plan for... you to stand in the corner alone

lol morbs

can't wait for bernie to win one of our least democratic primary institutions by a couple of delegates tonight and thereby validate the international left most of whom appear to be on this thread

I think it’s cool she stuck up for Warren. Also go Bernie

Have the Tbilisi results come in yet?

Oh, I guess they're holding out.

The Tbilisi caucus was conducted successfully, over a traditional Iowan meal of pizza and ranch dressing – accompanied by Georgian wine. The results will be reported along with the rest of the results after the caucuses in Iowa take place. pic.twitter.com/SraYlfxAUq

lol Mordy, we didn't make the rules broheem

enjoying this verse of 'i didn't ask to come' by giddy morbs

I, too, wish the Democratic primary started in more representative places like Pennsylvania or Nevada or Michigan or New York or California... where Bernie would also be the favorite

Bernie Sanders

Mordy, I'd love to be able to royally ignore US politics but your country has a record of preventing that, so don't be so harsh on non-American posters itt, irritating though our presence may be.

Bernie's not the favorite in Pennsylvania, Michigan, or New York.

he will be, in 2 of those i think

yep you’re right. I guess I’ve just decided based on my feeeelings that Biden ain’t going to make it.

I mean, I definitely hope that after tonight's results come in he becomes the favorite in those states!

The international left, it me, showing up on US, Venezuela, France, Chile, aBolivia threads. Full-time job.

I don't think it should be underestimated that Sanders built campaign organizations in all the early states just four years ago, while all the other candidates have had to start from scratch and compete for the activists and volunteers who weren't already emotionally committed to Bernie.

The remnants of Hillary's 2016 campaign do not have any single clear alternative among the 2020 candidates to whom they might shift their allegiance en masse. The HRC coalition seems like it will fragment and be widely dispersed in the early going. That's what has the DNC/establishment/old school centrist types so worried rn. They hoped Biden would blow away the field of moderate-voter-seeking centrists and coalesce the HRC voters. It hasn't happened, yet. The next two months look to be an increasingly fierce dog fight.

very true, we should all probably be thanking Pete for being Biden's biggest siphon.

can't wait for bernie to win

i stand with mordy

It's also just a fact that nobody has put more campaigning power into the hands of volunteers than the Sanders campaign.

Not to suzy but dozens of my pals & associates from the Momentum training institute, who were Bernie fans in 2016 & spent the last 4 years doing decentralized volunteer-driven issue organizing in Sunrise, Cosecha, IfNotNow and Dissenters, have jumped on board as Bernie staff. Their issue-based work was drawing on lessons of Obama '08 and Sanders '16, but now they're also baking in all the tech, tools, and organizing lessons of their last 3 years of work. Grain of salt here given that I'm talking about colleagues, but I really think all this makes Bernie's the most cutting edge campaign in the race.

I had/regurgitated this thought a while ago

None of the polling actually matters yet is the funny thing bc if his campaign identifies and turns out its voters effectively it’s gonna look a lot different from the polls

gamechanger imo

https://fivethirtyeight.com/live-blog/iowa-caucus-2020-election-live/254963/

A tweet made the rounds that night purporting to give the poll’s results, and after doing some reporting around this, FiveThirtyEight can confirm that it contains the correct final findings of the unreleased Iowa poll: Sanders 22 percent, Warren 18 percent, Buttigieg 16 percent, Biden 13 percent. Imagine the news cycle that would have been, with national front-runner Biden making such a poor showing in the last, highest-profile poll before the caucuses.

you literally would have loved to have seen it

I am at the caucus holding a sign up and I am STILL GETTING CALLS ON MY PHONE

campaigns, call off the dogs! the doors close in four minutes!

Bernie Sanders
