nice

xpost How patronizing of him

wow he just MANSSUMED she wasn't gawking in the middle of traffic on purpose.....typical brohaviour!!

p sure Whiney is talking about Ebro the morning host from Hot 97 in NYC not Bernie bros

He probably thinks he's a Good Samaritan or something.

that business insider story reads like some sort of engineered parable.

She was walking straight into oncoming traffic when Sen. Bernie Sanders stepped in and saved the day.

"He didn't grab me or anything," she said, but started shouting, "Ma'am! Ma'am!"

"I did not immediately get off the street, even though there was a ton of oncoming traffic, because I was in awe to see him," she said. "He tried to continue to bring me onto the sidewalk and was like, 'Ma'am, you've got to get off of the street! You've got to get off of the street!'"

After a few more seconds of being in "complete awe," Currotto got back to safety thanks to Sanders.

Once she was back on the sidewalk, Currotto asked the Vermont senator if she could take a selfie with him, and he obliged. She said Sanders was quite "concerned" about her standing in the street and was "very, very kind."

"So that's a bit of an embarrassing story for me, because I was being a complete idiot in the middle of oncoming traffic," Currotto said, laughing.

Bernie saves woman's life by yelling at her
Bernie solves billionaires by yelling at them
Bernie fixes health care by yelling at it
Bernie escapes death's clutches by yelling at death
Bernie lifts off into space by yelling at the ground

"So that's a bit of an embarrassing story for me, because I was being a complete idiot in the middle of oncoming traffic," the Democratic Party said, laughing.

Well, yes.

"He didn't grab me like joe biden or anything," she said

^how i break it down to an extent

after the des moines register editorial board endorsed warren, one of their long-standing columnists just had a “Sanders pretty good, right?” column

compared the energy at his rally to Obama’s rally in 2008 where he was introduced by Oprah!

I was at that rally tbh (the Obama one) and despite my ambivalence on Oprah it was definitely a moment where we thought “oh shit he’s got it”

Interview with Republican Bob Ney from 2016. Its talking about a few things but gets to Bernie at 10 mins in, talking about how Bernie would work on various bills behind the scenes but where necessary would take his name off them to help them get through, something I wasn't aware of

https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2020/01/trump-bernie-sanders-socialism.html?via=taps_top

This moronic piece argues that voters don't actually know Bernie is a socialist.

A Rasmussen survey, taken in November for the conservative Heartland Institute, found that 20 percent of likely voters who expressed a very favorable view of Sanders also said they wouldn’t “vote for a presidential candidate who identifies himself or herself as a socialist.” Maybe these voters would set aside their aversion to socialism and elect Sanders.

But that’s pretty optimistic. When people contradict themselves in a survey, the simplest explanation is that they’re not aware of the contradiction. What happens when people who say they like Sanders, but who also say they’d never vote for a socialist, find out he’s a socialist? How many of those voters can Democrats afford to lose?

I may have this wrong, but isn't Rasmussen considered as completely unreliable and designed to support Conservative issues and politicians?

voters seemed happy enough to pick gay muslim socialist barry soetero twice at the ballot box iirc

Nah, Rasmussen isn't THAT bad. The models still include them. But they have a Gop bias for sure. I think they call it 'house effect' or something.

Ah, wasn't sure. I had heard they had a bad reputation but wasn't sure how much of an outlier they actually were. Problems with polling have been well documented over recent years but aside from how questions are framed I think a deeper question is about how ideologically consistent voters are (not especially) and how difficult it is to accurately capture people who aren't necessarily consistent or cohesive in what they think (and how such wildly disparate people just get thrown together as 'moderates' when they are often anything but

Rasmussen is bad not good. But it's still useful information, they are bad in a consistent way. It's not like they just make up shit or lie or anything. Whatever they do wrong just happens to consistently show Republicans in a slightly more favorable light. Perhaps too much weight on landlines = too many old people answering = a bias towards the right. It is what it is. Other pollsters have more left wing biases, and nobody really knows exactly what the difference is, I don't think.

One interesting fact is that Rasmussen had Republicans winning the popular vote for the US House last year and Democrats actually won it by **9** points, which makes for about twice as bad a fuck-up as any pollster had in 2016. https://t.co/I2nZaoWOnc

Checked: They have a pollster rating of C+ and a bias of 1,5% Republican. So they aren't good. But 538 still includes them.

Rep. Tulsi Gabbard of Hawaii and billionaire and former New York City Mayor Mike Bloomberg were the top choice of just 4%, followed by Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar (3%) and billionaire Californian Tom Steyer (2%).
