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

justify the reason they’re their voting vote for

We should be able to find out in 2-20 days time

some it's that, for the people who've already voted I think it's the bargaining phase where they're psyching themselves up to believe they'll eventually be making a vote beyond "anybody but Trump," others are just LARPing campaign consultants

You're internet savvy, I bet you can find it. Or you don't really care, so whatevs!

You're internet savvy, I bet you can find it.

I don't think this is good Milo! I'm not a fan of posting tweets from minor randoms as evidence of any particular stance, and unattributed stuff isn't good either. There's been plenty of that pointed in this direction, doing it in return I think is a mistake

Saturday is canvass day. There’s a bunch of Oregon canvass groups starting in the morning, but I’m debating which one to join because some are heading up to Washington State in the late afternoon. Back-to-back canvass runs with some downtime or a nap can be rough.

Without some downtime, rather

I'm also not a fan of post-policing and I've just wandered right into it. I may need to report myself to the relevant authorities!

How are you finding canvassing (if you can say?)

xxxp - It's found in the responses to that tweet that he had to click on in the first place.

I can find the one they're all pointing at, it doesn't say that unless you reallllly squint - but it's enough that "it's Pete" can become the narrative and people can really unroll their ids for stuff like this:

people are this good at putting on a front of civility until they no longer have to are fucking psychopaths and objectively worse than anything Bernie surrogates are constantly smeared as

Wow apparently you can flag post yourself I just tried it!

Keep looking, it's on the first page of response tweets

I'll be more politic:

I watched as his campaign then got on the ground and instructed their team in Iowa to spread misinformation about Elizabeth Warren, Medicare for All, free public college, and more.

Canvassing is good. More grounding than just sending texts into the ether or posting online. When we hit a suburb in Reno, we very quickly realized you could tell the number and the size of the dog(s) that borked at you from inside an empty house when you rang the bell.

I recommend it to folks. Any IRL organizing is far healthier than arguing about politics online

It reminds you that all of us need to learn Spanish better. I was able to use my garbage Spanglish at one apartment in NV to remind them about caucusing the next day

This would be what you're looking for?

So... you're talking about Pete's campaign, but you're just going to let everybody in your replies think you're talking about Sanders' campaign??

Thought you knew that's how the left roll

jeez, have some of you slept? Posting all night?

MSNBC viewers aren't in a great position to judge

Anyway *i* went to bed, the benefit of taking the black pill on this subject

Without MSNBC, I have no politics -- how perceptive of you!

We met many good cats and dogs while out canvassing in Portland(for a local candidate) and then, after a necessary burrito lunch, across the Columbia up to the suburbs of Camas, WA to get hailed on for a bit then more doors.

It’s an odd balance because in the middle of the day, you have plenty of daylight left but no one’s home. Much later in the day, far more folks are home, but depending on the layout of the neighborhood, it suuuuuuuuucks to canvass in the dark.

Met many a person in WA that had already mailed in their ballot, but also folks who hadn’t checked the mail at all lately when we asked them if they’d received their ballot.

Reminding folks in vote-by-mail states about the fact that they actually can vote by mail and they perhaps should actually check their mail is a good thing.

Also, the Bernie volunteer-powered texter is so popular that most of the time there aren’t texts to send any more.

texting is great, the handful of people you know you spurred to go vote is worthwhile and it can be fun to show you're actually a real person. people are entertaining

shhh Maddow is on

yah this is a real bummer: I'd like to think several of the Liz Ladies I know who voted weeks ago would have changed their vote to Bernard if given the option, but can she still get assigned floating delegates after she drops out?

All of the candidates who dropped out have more officially speaking "suspended their active campaigns", meaning they can still win delegates right up to the convention.

Kingfish, while you're out there, can you try to find and canvass that little finch that endorsed Bernie in 2016? I don't think we should count on Liz at this point.

(It was in Portland after all)

Solid foreign election interference action

Going to start phonebanking tonight. Not giving this up without a fight.

Ha, saw Simon's link now. I actually did double-check if this counts as foreign interference!: https://www.fec.gov/help-candidates-and-committees/candidate-taking-receipts/volunteer-activity/

I want to know Bernie’s thoughts on Antichrist and Dancer in the Dark

He has been studying The Kingdom to see how socialized health care systems work

Bernie never tweeted about Parasite did he? :-(

If you're canvassing Florida over the next week, I did a small part of your routing in VAN.

Two turfs canvassed today, bailed out on the second one because the hills and suburban sprawl can be too much when one’s shin starts complaining after walking uphill too much and the canvass buddy has a drained phone battery. Much better weather, at least.

If any of you can, get on the MI/WA dialers, unless you have a southern accent lets you call into MS too

Theres texting available too, looks like this

I don’t think any major news outlet has covered this, but the Bernie text service has an entire procedure for immediately escalating and correcting dead-naming for trans contacts that is massively responsive.

That rules.

This is a pretty good read:

I still think as much as he needs to bulk up his electability, he should focus just as much if not more on tearing down Joe's. But maybe it's better to let everyone else be mean about it.

for better or worse, i think sanders wants to use all his mic time to hammer his core themes. if he loses, he wants to have amplified that message as much as possible. whereas if he goes after biden, all that will circulate and all anybody will ask him about for the rest of his campaign (or the rest of his life) is his comments on joe biden. especially if biden then loses to trump and bernie gets blamed. mind you, i may be projecting because i don't want to have to live through that either.

i did a few rounds of canvasssing for jessica cisneros (lost her priary challenge by <4% shiiiiiyet) and yeah, the sprawl is a marathon
