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

comrade britney..........thank you

bertney sanpears
why because she look intersting

It seems the Bernie Bros have been Toxic for longer than I had realized.

Lol

good work everyone :)

The every two-day live-streams have been great

bernie sanders just took on senate republicans **and won**. Joe Biden's ENTIRE CAMPAIGN is about how he will capitulate to Republicans. Why are people having trouble with this? https://t.co/oPGfFmC8Br

He did good in the Senate, don't know why we on the left want Superman.

i think we just want someone admirable and trustworthy in the sordid corridors of power

I loved the speech, and it demonstrated what a powerful ally Biden can boast about if he's elected.

Lol, "bless his heart".

i'd prefer he be Biden's nemesis when required (and it would be, often)

or in the equally likely event that I am president

Love him:

This is why I won’t give up & never will on man & our movement -
Every fucking one of u mainstream dems KNOWS he is 100% right ,not 90 %-100% & yet u oppose any dignity for poor

I’m glad someone on his staff finally got him a decal for his laptop, judging from today’s roundtable stream

1/4 To my wonderful friends who are passionate about Biden- I only ask that you allow me to continue to fight with all I have for the person who has unflinchingly fought for the rights of every American his whole life. Who understands the existential threat of climate change.

I mean I guess me. I passionately think he fucking sucks

fair point, i guess i too am passionate about biden

some among us seem like they may be passionate in the other way though

I am fairly passionate about removing the executive branch of government from Republican control.

i want to passionately kiss him

I am no feeble Christ, not me!
"He" hangs in glib delight upon "his" cross, above my body!
"Christ, forgive!" Forgive?!
Shit, fuck, I vomit for you, Jesu. Shit forgive
Down now from your cross!
Down now from your papal heights, from that churlish suicide, petulant child!
Down from those pious heights, royal flag bearer, goat, billy
I vomit for you! Forgive? Shit, "he" forgives!
"He" hangs in crucified delight nailed to the extent of "his" vision!
His cross, his manhood, violence, guilt, sin!
"He" would nail my body upon "his" cross
Suicide visionary, death reveller, rake, rapist, lifefucker!
Jesu, earthmover, Christus, gravedigger!
You dug the pits of Auschwitz! The soil of Treblinka is your guilt, your sin!
Master?! Master of gore, enigma!
You carry the standard of our oppression!
Enola is your gaiety!
The bodies of Hiroshima are your delight!
The nails are your only trinity!
Hold them in your corpsey gracelessness, the image I have had to suffer!
The cross is the virgin body of womanhood that you defile!
You nail yourself to your own sin!
Lame-arse Jesus calls me "sister"?! There are no words for my contempt!
Every woman is a cross in his filthy theology, in his arrogant delight!
"He" turns his back upon me in his fear; "he" dare not face me!
Fearfucker! Share nothing in Christ, sterile, impotent, fucklove prophet of death!
You are the ultimate pornography, in your cuntfear, cockfear, manfear, womanfear
Unfair, warfare, warfare, warfare, warfare, warfare, warfare, warfare, warfare!
Jesus died for his own sins, not mine!

oops wrong thread

Are you passionate?
Are you livin' like you talk?
Are you dreamin' now
that you're goin' to the top?
Are you negative,
In a world that never stops,
Turnin' on you?
Turnin' on me?
Turnin' on you?

it's kind of pat but i think "what went wrong" takes are mostly people just projecting preexisting navel gazey grievances onto a campaign. Around the margins these things matter but it was always 90% a media that is systemically hostile to anything left of the NYT editorial page.

btw I just heard public radio flagship WNYC's newscaster say "Bernie Sanders ended his QUIXOTIC campaign"

and the cunts want my money

omg that adam johnson tweet

what went wrong takes are mostly people just protecting preexisting navel gazey grievances as for what really mattered it was my preexisting navel gazey grievance

unvarnished truth yeah omg

lol I rarely agree that much with Mordy wrt politics but he’s spot fucking on here.

yeah I'm kinda with you on this one Mordy. The media shapes preferences but also feeds preexisting prejudices (if it didn't no one would watch it). This isn't a scenario where it's as simple as "the media convinced people bernie = bad." That might have played into it but there's a lot more going on.

mordy otm

That said, I feel really fucking sad. Sad about everything but this was just sort of the key that finally opened the floodgates of the sadness.

i am sad too man alive. however, i find solace and hope in the fact that our political system—rotten as it is—was able to produce a bernie.

the thing that stood out about him wasn't that he was "radical," it's that he believed, against the odds, that tomorrow could be better than today. he was never "sophisticated" enough to give up on a common sense, compassionate vision of of government.

and honestly it had an impact. it wasn't for nothing.

Yeah I'd like to think Bernie planted the seeds of a lot of young Bernies

I also kind of wonder if the sheer level of unemployment we are about to face could lead to a de facto mass expansion of medicaid that could be a stepping stone toward universal healthcare.

i think a lot of things could happen. one thing is for certain -- having healthcare tied to employment is going to be way harder to defend.

how that plays out in policy, i don't know. anything can happen in the wake of an unprecedented crisis. one thing that bernie did is actually pitch a plausible path forward -- guaranteed healthcare and access to education; a livable minimum wage and unemployment benefits that allow people to live -- and hammered it in people's minds. any proposals that fall short of that are going to be measured against his platform because everyone knows it now.

the value of saying the same thing over and over and over for 30 years....

I have never seen the MSM *hate* a presidential candidate as much as they did Bernie, and you're blind if you can't see that.

i know polls are fallible and we don't know anything but biden consistently beats trump in the polls, nationally and in swing states and consistently has done so more than bernie. now maybe u think he'll be exposed btwn now and nov but i think most ppl know who he is so it's priced it and it will end up mostly a referendum on trump anyway

handling the media well is a skill some politicians have and others don't it's weird to blame the media - an amorphous collection of many different organizations with many different beliefs and ideologies - over the candidate

well let's not get carried away Mordy

why aren't jacobin and democracy now and current affairs the biggest news outlets in the country? why don't they control the discourse? in a world where they do bernie is the candidate for president.

the reason why they aren't plays a much bigger role in why bernie isn't
