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

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.

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.
― bold caucasian eroticism (Simon H.), Monday, 9 March 2020 12:28 (four years ago) link
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 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).

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— air fryers aren't real (@JoeyxRoss) March 8, 2020

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.— ➡️ berniesanders.com/CALL (@no_talent_shan) March 9, 2020

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.

My husband and I started dating just before the 2012 election. After the results of that election came in, he texted me that yes, it was great that we got four more years of Barack Obama, but what he’d really be excited for was to vote for President Warren one day.
this never happened

This cycle really just underlined for me that it's insane that Bernie, AOC, Omar etc "have to" share a party with some of the least principled bloodsuckers alive. (As AOC herself said in nicer words of Biden a few months back, though you probably won't hear her repeat that anytime soon.)
