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

Shills? For whom? Big Anarcho-Syndicalism?

i also love inventing people to be mad at

It's not a large group, but since the Green party is essentially just a grift, they will run a candidate anyway, no?

Maybe the idpol or gtfo crowd…?

…oh wait:

I wouldn't have mentioned them if I hadn't seen both of those statements from real ("real"?) people before breakfast today.

Pre-coffee statements are not to be trusted.

I love the idea that Mayor Pete is a CIA op and don’t care if it’s true or not. He may as well be.

the CIA can't afford him

he'd love to be a cia op, just to learn more about how the world works

it would be a cv builder

I thought you said civ builder and I got a little excited thinking that maybe he's a gamer

it'd be really cool if the centrism and dumb policy ideas are all false pandering and Pete wins, only to wink at the camera as he gets sworn in on a copy of his dad's Gramsci translation

does bernie sanders play video games? does he know what video games are? probably there is some dank meme that will tell me

don't think pete's a spook but out of the candidates he strikes me as most likely to just do whatever the CIA tells him to do so what's the difference really

if someone tried to sell the government a computer that supposedly crunched all available data and spit out the optimal executive decisions, Buttigieg and Yang would probably both buy it

tbf Robert McNamara kind of did that, but then proceeded to ignore what the computer said

Sure looks like Yglesias is rooting for Sanders.

that's horseshoe theory for you (i threw a horseshoe at his head and he doesn't remember his name)

I give the yglesias and co credit for coming around on Bernie -- my theory is that they recognize that he's the likely nominee and they think the right thing to do is get behind him as much as possible now rather than try to hobble him heading into the general.

my man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

- I like Bernie but he ended up endorsing Hillary in 2016, so I won't vote for him.
- I like Bernie but I hate the Democratic party more, so since he's running as a Democrat I won't vote for him.

collect 'em all

xp haven't been able to actually do any texts because there's so many volunteers right now!

kinda want to be a volunteer slack helper but sounds like they want you to have a solid amount of experience first

do phone banking! I'm doing it now and I'm total introvert.

did the training for it, gonna buy a cheapo headset tomorrow i think

weirdly the phone bank training is way less intensive than text bank training, you can be ready to go in 10 minutes https://berniesanders.com/call/

If Dems go on to nominate Sanders, the Russians will have to reconsider who to work for to best screw up the US. Sanders is just as polarizing as Trump AND he’ll ruin our economy and doesn’t care about our military. If I’m Russian, I go with Sanders this time around.

— Lloyd Blankfein (@lloydblankfein) February 12, 2020

Lloyd says he is a "Former CEO on a gap year". Right-o me bucko. CEO of what?

Bernie didn't do as well as he should have. He underperformed, just like in Iowa. RCP had him +7 day of for both and it ended up really tight. Reverse situation from last time.

Winning was a huge blow to Sanders tonight. Buttigieg lost, which is clearly a win for him, especially losing to Sanders, to whom he's lost twice now, making Sanders' win even more disappointing. Team Sanders needs a big loss to win next time

— Brendan James (@deep_beige) February 12, 2020

Sanders' drop in support since '16 has been observable in every piece of data published about this primary for over two years, including NH polls. It's an unremarkable fact about a different race with a larger field. Folks bringing it up now are spinning, not having epiphanies.

CNN says turn out is up 20 percent from 2016. Vindication for the Sanders approach. When broken down by age, it's likely that youth turnout will prove to be much higher than that.

— Alex Sammon (@alex_sammon) February 12, 2020

I saw elsewhere he got 60% of the vote last time (to HRC's 37%), so I would have thought him "bringing out the vote" would leave him much higher in the results.

Martin O'Malley pulled out after Iowa last time, getting 0.26% of the vote on the day, ahead of fourth-place winner Vermin Love Supreme.

disastrous victory for sanders, im hearing

My Butteigeig bro last night:
“Unless warren drops out soon, it looks like the race will be buttigieg’s to lose - who thought he’d be placing so well in the primaries?”

Me:????

Him: “Who’s left then? Does Biden turn any of this around as he moves west?”

🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃

A moral victory, perhaps? It was a tie in the delegate count, in the state where Sanders was expected to have the easiest time.xp

I would go with "victory" victory. Since he won and everything.

I think what just threw me was that he literally did not even consider sanders as viable. Not in an an anti agonistic sense per se. more just “huh, Bernie. Yeah curious”

He’s a cable news/ vaguely liberal MSM Facebook newsfeed junkie, and just can’t fathom Bernie being a legitimate contender.

i never thought id see the thread crossover to the tottenham thread so beautifully xp

and he’s a “Buttigieg-bro” insofar as he’s got permanent West Wing/ Obama brain, not that he thinks Pete is the Way the Truth and the Light

Xpost

I'm very pro-Sanders but he didn't actually win either state except in terms of the popular vote afaict? Or does that somehow get factored in at the end. 3xp

I've totally talked to someone like that too, will.

xxxp three points is three points

sanders didnt run up the score like i hoped, but his biggest challenger (biden) for the rest of the campaign has finished 4th and 5th respectively and another moderate is entering the fray on super tuesday to pick at biden's corpse. as biden's (and sanders' i guess) most formidable challenger, buttigieg has really awful numbers with voters of color who will play a much larger role in future states and it remains to be seen how much a bloomberg media blitz can convince a large enough number of voters to show up that would actually pull enough delegates to mount a serious run. klobuchar's sudden competitiveness only hastens warren's demise which in theory shd benefit sanders, too, given how many warren voters in NH are ideologically progressive.

basically, sanders can consolidate his base while the moderate 4 continue to pull in different directions until march when a ton of delegates are decided upon.

it's gonna be weird at the convention when they can't release the balloons because he didn't cover the spread

Buttigieg is polling awfully in the south, and it's really showing up the bias of the 'electability' people, that when a candidate - Buttigieg - is so distasteful to the black base as to be unelectable in the primary, they just ignore it.
