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

stupid

This sort of thing happens all the time when two people talk. The speaker believes they have used words that are entirely clear and exactly convey their intended meaning. The listener hears the words and derives a different meaning. When the miscommunication is not immediately detected and clarified, the misunderstanding persists and each version becomes the "true" version to the respective parties.

The later "who is the liar here" disagreement is not only unresolvable when it is framed in those terms, but as soon as you frame it that way you're going to get a lot of pointless and useless animosity. The only road to resolution is through "this is what I thought I heard you say; is that correct?"

Gad! You'd think these two had never been married to anyone.

lol at "extraordinary story"

dumb country gets dumb news

Best moment:

STEYER: Hi, I just wanna --

SANDERS: Yeah, good, okay *stomps away*

jesus this is so stupid

i lol'd at steyer's awkward little moment, straight out of curb your enthusiasm

"I just wanted to say hi, Bernie"

"I'm such a big fan!"

I picked a good month to stay off Twitter.

if bernie is her friend, doesn't she have his number or can she email him or something

The Warren-Sanders feud just got way uglier

fox news for liberals

wonder why they had to wait 21 hours to release the audio

milking it

I hate that all this is gonna do is hurt one or more of the two least awful candidates

I guess if they have a guaranteed exclusive story then they might as well drag it out.

It's cool, when Trump beats Biden while losing the popular vote by 6 million we can all donate organs to rebuild RBG from the ground up to make it through another four years.

That Steyer coda to Sanders-Warren is one of the funniest things I've seen in a while: "Yeah good, okay--who are you?"

There is no way Bernie is going to feed into the “he’s old” judgment, but if he just kept forgetting who Steyer is, I’d support it

Bernie remembers that Steyer is irrelevant and only shows up because he's a multi-billionaire who's running millions of dollars worth of ads in non-primary states.

posting this for Morbs

Bernie should pull a Marlon Brando at the 1973 Oscars for the next debate

I don't know if Sanders or Biden do know who Tom Steyer is--I think they think they're talking to Steny Hoyer.

Tell me again how this is not exactly the same as candidate Trump in January 2016?

I mean he left out "the press hates us" but he did say that already during the debate. pic.twitter.com/WdDgzyvnok

"Information warfare expert" - can't tell if that's real or just means "spent way too much time watching Russiagate coverage"

I really hate forced teaming.

unsurprisingly molly mckew turns out to be the sort of twitter person who posts "tell me again how this is not exactly like trump" and then complains about all the bernie bros who are mansplaining to her that no, in fact, bernie sanders is not exactly like donald trump

god i hate twitter

McKew was PR / Comms lead for the former PM of Moldova, Vlad Filat - subsequently jailed for nine years for stealing 12.5% of the country's entire GDP in an elaborate fraud.

As a gay man, I identify with the candidate who gets bullied by his age group but has all the hot popular girls coming to his defense and is not really sure why https://t.co/YiAJVLgQnj

gay men do that?

🤷

I’m a little worried considering the last thing I noticed Ratajkowski endorsing was the Fyre festival 🤔

lol

and before that, "Blurred Lines" and Nick Dunne

what is it with her and these toxic bros????

Bernie 2020: Just Let Me Liberate Ya

blurred lines rules

Under Bernie’s crazy socialist regime everyone will get a slice of cheese and two pieces of bread

lettuce wraps

I promised myself not to expend more mental energy on this but this fanfic was just too compelling: https://www.latimes.com/opinion/story/2020-01-15/bernie-sanders-elizabeth-warren-women-presidents-iowa-democratic-debate

It doesn't matter what he said but calling anonymous reports by non-attendants a lie is basically oppression. Pointing is harassment.xp

I should have guessed that was Hefferman.

Hitler also shook hands

good old "equality for citizens" hitler

Watching the Tuesday night kabuki in slo-mo, you can see that Sanders (I-Vt.), who’s notoriously irritable and suffers from cardiac issues, was riled by whatever Warren said, and by her refusal to be touched. He shook a finger at her. Then again. He seemed intent on freeing her right hand to grab it.

Seriously, wtf

virginia 'why i'm a creationist' heffernan

He only stood down from his dastardly attack when Sir Steyer swooped in and said, "M'lady? Dost this Socialist offend thy honor?"

I’ve resisted telling this story before, but:

I had dinner with Virginia at a professors house in college, and when I said (correctly) that Rahm Emmanuel volunteered with the IDF she called me a PLO agent. https://t.co/JgtbKxJ2hT

The thing is, warren and company are being explicitly misleading with this. Worst case scenario, bernie said “a woman couldn’t win” because of the sexism of the electorate. He certainly didn’t say women weren’t capable of being president. But in her framing she isn’t giving the necessary context—so it might as well be a lie.

imo if you keep talking about this, you make it worse

It’s transparently a tactical smear so it’s dumb for her to act aghast that he “called her a liar.”
