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

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.

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)

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.

Well the tracks poll was done across four days. I don't do albums so I won't be in that thread, normal service will resume which means I'll be fucking with Fred now and then, like many posters across ilx do.

So now that Bernie Sanders is the frontrunner, the DNC is changing its debate rules mid-primary, eliminating the small donor threshold to let Bloomberg buy his way onto the stage.

Bloomberg’s surrogates are openly admitting he’s running as a Sanders spoiler.

Here we go again. https://t.co/WqGTuQijKo

Good news for Sanders though? another billionaire for him to chew and spit out on stage.

No one else is targeting, bullying and harassing other posters all over the board the way xyzzzz is, and if he keeps it up he should be perma-banned.

have you previously been either 51-ed or threadbanned, Fred?

Yup, and for a lot less than what he was doing.

you keep telling yourself that.

Got damn I would be ashamed if a friend of mine was acting like that.

no joek if Warren is a no then my next in order of preference is Michael Render

Dude is openly saying he is going to continue to 'fuck with me' and calzino is still pretending it's me who is the problem. I can never ever stop this feud, because xyzzz is openly and shamelessly going to continue his attacks on me no matter what I do. It's bullying, fully out in the open, and it should pretty obviously be cause for banning.

Whether that's true or not, you are shitting up this thread by turning it into Fred's grievance hour, how about you both take your bickering somewhere else?

clear phone lines full text messages can't lose

lol @ "changing its rules mid-primary" as though the DNC hadn't been tweaking the qualifications for each debate over the whole cycle

Yet on centrism's most visible platform, "Morning Joe"'s DNC-connected guests mentioned just yesterday that "you may see" Bloomberg "come up" as a challenger to Sanders should Biden flop, and I suspect we're starting to see it.

the fact that some corporate dems are opening up to bloomberg tells me they are desperate. he's got shit like this on his record:

https://gawker.com/why-hasnt-anyone-mentioned-michael-bloombergs-long-wel-1784482724

Gawker has extensively covered both Bloomberg’s personal chauvinism and his company’s alleged mistreatment of female employees. Here are just a handful of the many sexist remarks that have been attributed to Bloomberg over the years:

*He told a New York Magazine reporter “look at the ass on her,” as he gestured to a woman at a holiday party.
*A Bloomberg LP employee-produced book of Bloomberg quotes has him saying: “If women wanted to be appreciated for their brains, they’d go to the library instead of to Bloomingdale’s.”
*Former Bloomberg employees who sued the company for sexual harassment alleged that Bloomberg made a number of inappropriate remarks to and about women at the company, including saying “I’d do her” about one executive, and urging her to “kill it!” when told she was pregnant.
(Bloomberg has denied saying all of this, except that he’d “do” his colleague. He claimed he thought “do” in this context meant something like “be friends with.”)

Bloomberg L.P., meanwhile, has been described by numerous former employees as a hostile workplace for women, and 65 women joined a gender discrimination suit against the company, alleging that pregnant women and new mothers were systematically discriminated against.

amazing run of posts this morning. I assume kingfish is on a stealth "ban tweets" campaign to match the couple of posters who appear to be on "ban me" campaigns

xxp Sure, I just tire of the narrative that the media and political establishment hates Bernie and is actively doing whatever it can to keep him down. Obviously, Bernie is less popular among the "establishment" than among the electorate, but that doesn't mean that the former is guided by nefarious motives at every turn. There's a lot of reading between the lines that just feels so tenuous.

Yeah, I'm not one of those people who thought the DNC "rigged" the primaries in 2016. He lost the required number of delegates convincingly.

Lol one of my in-laws claims he was in the elevator with Bloomberg when he said, “Kill it!” He’s a Mike supporter.

Obviously, Bernie is less popular among the "establishment" than among the electorate, but that doesn't mean that the former is guided by nefarious motives at every turn.

all-American gullibility

they're protecting their money and phoney-baloney jobs by any means necessary

anyone who doesn’t support my candidate is cynical and corrupt.

the only fucking candidate who's a threat to the status quo, YEAH

you left out the "uninformed" option tho
