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

I have no idea if election ill will would change it, but the chances of Sanders appointing Warren as one of those advisors is really high! Treasury secretary was the rumor.

"I worked hard as a bond trader so that I could live out my dream of being stupid filthy rich, to the point where I could treat a hundred thou as nothing but a joke, but now I'm only kinda rich and I have to watch carefully where I spend my little thousands every week. It's so fucking UNFAIR! Shit. I made out like a bandit as part of a legitimate business career and now those crooks in D.C. want to take it all away!"

Jesus Christ.

Abt the app.

xps to mh I would love that - esp if she was also VP, as was discussed on ILX a little while ago

it’d be a refreshing choice as opposed to the attempt to lure a variety of voters in by picking a contrasting VP

I had to explain to an older establishment democrat coworker years ago that I had to hold my nose while voting for Gore because, while I was in a swing state and feared the supreme court picks Bush would make, having Lieberman on the ticket disgusted me. he was like “what, old Joe?”

too many old Joes

Have u seen this app mh?

What is going on with it?

Does this shitshow help or hurt Bernard?

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

Bernie’s camp is releasing the count in ten minutes

Remember when America said Evo Morales stole the election because they stopped reporting results for a few hours? Good shit, man.

— Nobody (@mcyost) February 4, 2020

The Bernie campaign is the only one that had a precinct captain in every location. They all took down their results. Its going to come out that Bernie won no matter how much they try to ratfuck us

Does this shitshow help or hurt Bernard?

i specifically said ‘good luck usa’ and yet i still wake up to this shitshow, ffs get it together america

we’re sorry, we’re still awake, we’re trying to fix it

Almost like normal voting

a caucus for ants

promising numbers in terms of Biden being low and Liz being above him. gonna hope those are just some dumb white Pete-heavy suburbs, and his percentage slips, but not horrific that he does well in Iowa. thanks Hoos!

and mh, tell yr friends thanks too, and that irl ppl are happy for democracy to be taking place, fuck American TV news in general.

just get yrselves an Antony Green and settle down

The only solid piece of information we know is that turnout was underwhelming. So just a great start all around, really.

lol at Pete's Iowa comms head tweeting dozens of PINs for the app they paid for and crashed, and his overall senior comms adviser saying

Tune in now to see @PeteButtigieg

— Lis Smith (@Lis_Smith) February 4, 2020

This is just like an episode of the veep.

lol at making a circus out of elections but relentlessly omitting to have a workable way of actually processing and counting votes. Send in the UN election observers!

fuck American TV news in general.

just get yrselves an Antony Green and settle down

loooooool

So @CNN is interviewing a precinct official who has been on hold for an hour.

Then: boom, the party official asks the guy for his results.

"This is a real coincidence, Wolf, I just got off hold," he says, live.

Wolf asks to listen, he says yes.

*beat*

"They hung up on me."

yeah i think it's clear by this point that this tinpot banana republic can't be relied upon to deliver democracy

One other thought: there was a relatively fine line between Iowa scenarios that are quite good for Sanders, and those that are fairly poor for him given expectations for how well he'd do, and both of those are still in play based on what we seemingly know so far.

🧐🤮🤔😱

ban non-US posters from these threads please

and this after i specifically said 'good luck usa'

rude imo

If this isn't to your liking sleeve I believe there is another msg board called 4chan where you can talk about this without foreign intervention.

lol you are so awful, go away

(I guess bg can stay along with Noodle, the rest of you can fuck right off)

barmy sleeveless

The @PeteButtigieg campaign just released its internal results (covering 75% of precincts) showing Buttigieg doing the same as was reported by the @BernieSanders internal numbers. Meaning it’s clear that Bernie Sanders won the #IowaCaucus. https://t.co/aX4LW3ya8H

— Brent Welder (@BrentWelder) February 4, 2020

only releasing Buttigieg's numbers is *chef kiss*

I guess you guys are telling me I should not take my company Shadow Inc. public any time soon

bearing in mind i entirely believe incompetence trumps malice almost all the time, and especially in the case of the democratic party

Love that the discourse immediately became all about warning Left Twitter not to spread conspiracy theories and misinformation while the Biden campaign leaked a memo calling the eventual results into question and Pete literally went on TV and declared himself the winner

— Chase Woodruff (@dcwoodruff) February 4, 2020

Were they aimed at the left? Nate Silver directly called the Biden response Trumpian.

some were if surely not all -- tanden was plainly chastising concerned people

New Bernie Sanders campaign email claims comfortable lead in Iowa with Buttigieg in 2nd and Biden in 5th (!!!) based on internal numbers.

The email claims they've accounted for 60% of the vote. pic.twitter.com/5R2QB99Mmg

the people in charge of the Biden campaign are perpetuating fraud on so many levels I can't deal

Joe Biden's campaign record is hilariously bad

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Biden_1988_presidential_campaign

Youth activism
Before and during the campaign, Biden had a tendency to invent a past as a marcher in the Civil Rights Movement. For instance, in a February 1987 speech in New Hampshire, he said, "When I marched in the civil rights movement, I did not march with a 12-point program. I marched with tens of thousands of others to change attitudes. And we changed attitudes."[12] Statements of this nature had been made by Biden going back to at least 1983.[27] Such statements concerned campaign advisors, who knew they did not represent a truthful recollection of Biden's past; Biden said he understood, but continued to make them.[12]

Following the Kinnock and academic revelations, reporters pressed Biden on the matter.[27] Biden acknowledged that his activities were actually limited to one summer job incident, where while working as a lifeguard at a swimming pool, he learned of racial inequality issues and joined black lifeguards in establishing a picket line around a local movie theater that had a segregation policy.[1] Biden said, "The civil-rights movement was an awakening for me, not as a consequence of my participation but as a consequence of my being made aware of what was happening."[1] Speaking to reporters, he objected to this line of questions as a whole, saying, "I find y'all going back and saying, 'Well, where were you, Senator Biden, at the time?' – you know, I think it's bizarre. ... Other people marched. I ran for office."[12]

Withdrawal
On September 17, 1987, Biden held a press conference at the United States Capitol in an attempt to address all these questions and put the issues behind him.[27] He acknowledged that "I've done some dumb things, and I'll do dumb things again."[12] But he vowed to stay in the race regardless.[12]

"I've done some dumb things, and I'll do dumb things again"

finally, a politician whose promises you can trust. biden 2020!

But he vowed to stay in the race regardless.[12]

he dropped out six days later
