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

Because it's about M4A this seems as good a place as any for a "this motherfucker right here"

THREAD: Let's examine all the possible ways this @ebruenig tweet represents #FakeNews -- and one of the sillier arguments for #SinglePayer I've heard in a long time... 1/ https://t.co/4giYHyH4g4

The Bernie Campaign Is Fortified by a Human Shield of Millennials

can we not use the president's terms ("fake news") kthnkbye

lol that Chris Jacobs got a bit of a roasting

a few grand at most
business owners like me
theft (via taxation)

the use of "fake news" the least risible thing about that thread tbh

that is one hell of a ratio

Socialism is unpopular[citation needed], but America’s leading socialist isn’t.

uh-oh Bill Maher saying positive things now, Klobuchar train derailed

This is so toxic that I almost feel like @BarackObama should speak out (I know he can’t but it’s that bad).

These women owe their careers to trailblazers like @HillaryClinton who also defended them specifically against Trump’s insults.

I still can’t believe how awful this is. https://t.co/KUpKMNUSRt

Can’t believe White Feminists love telling Rashida Tlaib to shut up and be grateful.

Neera Tanden isn't white

You are not Danish

xp must have missed her name when I was writing that one sentence post of mine

Hello bernard brethren

I am training phone bank hosts!

We're gonna win

Fred trying to make sure you are leftist and behave is it

Did Fred's factual clarification warrant such snark or are you just angling for a duel again?

Seriously, though, are you alright, comrade? Because you've spent the past few days needlessly antagonizing your fellow ILXors like a 4chan-tier troll. You can do better than that.

:) hoos

Pom - gyac said white feminists not Neera and I am not the only one who said anything about how Fred posted just now. Nothing more to it.

Not going to bother to waste any more of Saturday morning but xyzzzzz only posted a link and then I responded to this. Not sure why either action attracted such antagonism besides someone with a grudge and not enough to do offline. Personally I’d prefer to hear more about what Hoos has been doing.

Correcting the wrong thing you wrote is not antagonistic

Those are not the actions that attracted antagonism.

xp

This thread could easily have discussed what a horrible white feminist Neera Tanden is for hours without anyone noticing. At least we dodged that bullet.

"white feminist" refers to the dude tweeting maybe?

nothing else counts as major antagonism given the normal behaviour of most of ye involved, but perhaps ye feel yerselves that ye should be behaving better in other country's pol threads? /irish mammy/

deems otm lads, save hairtrigger mode for when it's necessary

its never necessary btw

xp yep, it absolutely does and there were two posts about the guy and one about Neera Tanden. ofc my own clarification on this point wasn’t enough.

Saved us again, what a lad

Whats the potential VP situation currently? Nina Turner in interview last week definitely suggesting would love to see it. Barbara Lee and even Tulsi as suggestions, not sure who else?

gyac i put a question mark in my own guess because tbh it wasnt rly that clear to me either

but like this is everybody jumping at everybody and lj otm re hairtrigger cmon lets do an aul lang syne

Another factual clarification for Pom - I have been antagonistic toward lj and Fred for a lot longer than just "the past few days"

Gyac wrote 'feminists' plural, and I can't believe how sad this thread has become, lol

tbf it's the albums poll next week, no holds barred

lol that is indeed correct, I was just trying to be diplomatic. It has slightly intensified of late, though, or so it seems to me.

2xp

Anyway, the solution is really simple, just ban xyzzz and the problem goes away

gonna rule that valid as factchecker xp to xyz statement

this thread is now as as sad as .... ukpol threads, thats all

Ban uk posters from other pol threads

a halfway measure i cannot in all conscience support

Ok, ban them completely. A bit harsh, but whatever.

“White feminists” (plural) is the group to which dude the post was obv referring to belongs

It’s not gyac’s fault you are bad at reading

Re VP oh god please no Tulsi.

would love to see Warren in the dual role of VP and at Treasury. a formidable ticket for folks squeamish about Sanders (who aren’t just cynical third way shitbags), and Treasury would play to her policy-centric strengths.

also attractive: a nice fuck you to The Norms.

obv contingent on if this is “allowed” and if Warren would even be interested

I don't think he'll go with Warren for VP (not because of recent events I didn't think he would have done anyway), there's a number of different directions he could go in though, think a lot depends on his team (who seem not to be leaning in that direction)
