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

Did my first volunteer texting shift today!

That tape is amazing. laser beams!!!!

that Beth Newell tweet is insanity

I read it again knowing it was pro-warren and still came away scratching my head

It’s really liberating to fully come to terms with the fact that batshit political tweets like that have zero impact or importance

She's the co-founder of Reductress? I'm trying to work out whether this is satire or not.

That's basically the G rated version of the Beto calf cramping tweet.

the way some people pick their candidates reminds me of people who only listen to bands who seem like people they would hang out with

i’m sorry, but when you compare the different kinds of messaging both campaigns use, it’s VERY illuminating pic.twitter.com/GSAtt6OVGf

Although that's not what I do, it makes more sense to me in the context of an artistic medium that someone chooses to enjoy in their private life as opposed to who they want running the executive branch of the federal government. xp

xp -- sure, that said, a disturbing amount of political Discourse online seems to have been constructed from the first principle of "this reminds me of my mom, or a mom"

I've been wrong a million times before but if Warren did drop out (and I hope she doesn't), I would be absolutely shocked if she endorsed anyone besides Bernie. I suppose she may just withhold an endorsement altogether, but I really can't fathom her endorsing Klobuchar.

I feel like there is something particular about US political culture that fosters this kind of thinking, idk what. People will go off about Trudeau being hot or whatever but I haven't seen anyone publicly fantasize about being in bed with him or hanging out with him at a difficult time and give that as a reason for voting for him (or Singh or Scheer or Ford or Legault. I don't pay the closest attention to UK politics but I don't imagine people are tweeting that stuff about or Corbyn or May or Johnson or Khan or whoever?) 2xp

Warren endorsing Klobuchar would be idiotic, what would she gain by that?

Klout

safe passage through the hail of staplers which will fill the air once the klob is finally defeated

Not much explains some of Warren's recent actions besides nursing some personal grudge against Bernie that's brewed up in the last couple of months. I don't expect her to endorse him.

I would be absolutely shocked if she endorsed anyone besides Bernie... I really can't fathom her endorsing Klobuchar.

hope to hell i'm wrong but i've got a real bad feeling

I'm expecting no endorsement for anyone tbh, at least for a while.

Wasn't there an op-ed about May's "hidden sensuality" or some shit?

Change of strategy: an actual badger would probably have the best shot at defeating Trump in November.

The Sanders cult has a way of pushing even the closest potential allies away, but Warren endorsing anyone put Sanders, when Sanders is the most likely nominee, would get her nothing.

What recent Warren actions are we talking about?

essentially, she just withdrew from the race, in a tweet transmitted directly into the craniums of posters itt and nobody else

She seemed to pretty honestly believe Sanders was being disingenuous about their meeting, and that he was calling her a liar on stage, and I can see how that would piss anyone off. But 538 has Klobuchar at less than 1% for winning the nomination...

Oh, we're still talking about that? I wondered if something major had happened more recently.

0.1%. Warren is still 20 times better off than Klobuchar, apparently?

Latest update puts Sanders back above 'no one' btw :)

probably wrong, usually am, but there seems to be some coordinated subtweeting from Warren and Klobs on that whole NV culinary union thing.

seemed*

she's also been talking up how she and Amy are the only "non-PAC-supported" candidates in ads and whatnot apparently

which is patently disingenuous. not on par with Pete's absolutely enraging "Bernie is supported by DARK MONEY groups pls send help!!!" obv, but still.

Honestly this seems like nothing more than paranoia?

There have been mumblings about Klob's bad relationships with other Dem senators--but no names. It seems some colleagues have given refuge to her battered staff members.

https://www.thedailybeast.com/one-of-amy-klobuchars-biggest-backers-is-the-worst-company-in-the-world but she doesn't take money from PACs

Hopefully her victims will have the courage to come forward in the coming weeks.

extremely normal stuff

Parents, how many of u look @ your college student’s bank account?@BernieSanders is emailing them every single day & asking for a $2.70 donation.

It might be time to lock down their bank account.

It happened to my conservative BFF...she busted her son giving 2 Bernie. 😳 pic.twitter.com/OUYFWkJNJt

Was that Beth Newell tweet an oblique reference to this piece? Because if so, that makes it even dumber, and if not, the piece makes it even dumber anyway

you had it right the first time

Too late, this is now the tiny hedgehog thread.

Can't wait for tiny hedgehog to endorse Bernie.

If I had no money, and I wanted a tiny hedgehog to cheer me up, I know which hedgehog I'd choose
