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

it's hilarious I think more than anything it's dumbasses like Matthews and Carville realizing no one gives a fuck what they think outside of their little bubble of a cable news station that gets worse ratings than Friends reruns

thats why theyre so mad. they know their time is almost up.

james carville is such a sputtering dumbass

␈

Matthews, who may have responded to panicked head shakes from his young staff, hastened to add a few minutes that he doesn't think Sanders "is a Red or anything, and it's nothing dangerous," but he wants him to explain his positions and why Sanders has, uh, visited Russia and not Denmark.

*few minutes laer

Yeah telling they’re freaking out more over this than 4 years ago when an idiot rapist game show host won

jfc Matthews needs a mandatory administrative leave asap

I’m talking about the early primaries where Trump went from a novelty candidate to “holy shit who’s gonna stop this guy?” while the major news anchors pretty much laughed it off up until it became clear that the Rs only hope was Ted fuckin Cruz

vodka >>>>>>> aquavit

otm

Well, yeah. But a good snaps > vodka.

nevada already called babey

Sanders is looking likely to win the nomination at this point imo. Iatee's concern is probably a good one to consider imo: if Sanders were to become President, what steps could be realistically taken towards M4A, given the makeup of Congress? Is there a way to work with states?

Imo imo

Exit DLC/Third Way, pursued by a bear.

if Sanders were to become President, what steps could be realistically taken towards M4A, given the makeup of Congress?

I'm assuming that whatever conditions led to the first socialist president in like 80 years would represent a new playing field, especially in the post-Trump era... not sure what he did to politics in this country has really sunk in yet, and won't until he's gone and isn't sucking all the air out of the room

think the following things have to happen/be true:
1) dems control house and senate
a) in the senate AL looks lost imo, so dems need ME, CO, AZ, NC at minimum. they need the vt gov to appoint a dem to the senate when bernie leaves office. this way they get 50 dems+the vp. and hell who knows, maybe some other weird states open up bc ppl love bernie or something.
b) house looks fine?
2) existing house and senate dems (incl manchin) have to see sanders' election as a referendum on and affirmation of m4a.
3) massive public pressure campaign from sanders' supporters and other ppl who like being alive longer and for less money

and then in 2022 we're getting a supermajority and splitting california into 7 states

what's that, you're confused about there being a north dakota and a south dakota? good news, we're merging them into one state called sorth dakota

west virginia abolished altogether. individual counties have a year to either become freeholds and establish bespoke trading terms with each other, neighbouring states, and the post-Brexit UK, or to join a new supervirginia called Best Virginia. D.C. gets statehood and ex-west-virginia's old star on the flag, and is renamed Inner Virginia. DC Comics is likewise renamed, for the sake of avoiding and/or creating confusion.

vodka >>>>>>> aquavit

i won't let this stand. aquavit is great. vodka is pointless.

Well, gin.

Bernie's odds now 1/2 on 538. Nice.

See? This is where the Never Trump crowd goes off the rails. This was not an unusual opinion at all in the 1970’s. Daniel Patrick Moynihan believed the same thing. Hell, after Bay of Pigs, in 196-goddamn-2, JFK said he wanted to scatter the CIA “to the four winds." https://t.co/IINTycrWDb

Bernie killing it on Fox

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6iobSUmdbgo

and look at those positive comments from Fox viewers (although maybe they're Bernie people not Fox people!)

In 1974 the most recent operations of the CIA to come to light was running a huge covert army and air force in Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia - secretly and off the books, so that at its height Congress and the public knew nothing about it apart from a few dark rumors. A few years later the Church Committee hearings exposed all kinds of illegal CIA activity in the previous three decades.

WALLACE: 'larry summers, NOT a right-wing conservative…'

wellllllll

Not linking but I really enjoy that US politics also has a Tom Watson and he’s also an accomplished centrist wrecker and they’re friends. And he’s losing it over Bernie.

After having reasoned political conversations that are tiring, I appreciate that this thread exists so I can simply say:
Bernie. Sanders.

We're still keeping it weird down here. Bernie is in town and got the one endorsement that truly matters.

One with the Orb

Now this is an endorsement lol.

To be honest, a Sanders administration would probably leave center-left policy wonks like me out in the cold, at least initially. But this is no time for self-indulgence and ego trips. Freedom is on the line 5/

the replies are really something

I just finished my first shift of canvassing for Tío Bernie!!

good 4u cg

it's always time for self-indulgence and ego trips

exactly! I’ll be patting my back to a peaceful slumber tonight

Toody approved! Stickers, 3 for $5 delivered, and all the cash goes to the Bernie campaign. #BernieSanders2020 #DeadMoon

this stuff hurts sanders in florida, but who gives a shit beyond that.

lol love how this would-be gotcha moment becomes a classic bernie pivot into attack on trump

He probably will lose Florida, but Hillary also lost Florida, so did Kerry, and we know what happened with Gore.

He is literally making excuses for a communist murderer, Twitter will have you know. xps
