Back when I was working on Bernie’s campaign, I remember suggesting to him that we send every working family seasonably scented candles (while avoiding the gauche, like pumpkin pie), and he turned to me and said, and I quote, “I fucking love your energy bitch”

fuck these people so hard. just absolute dogshit

the same one who got mad when joe biden said something not even negative about "park avenue," like "but why wouldn't you want to represent people like me who live on park avenue." how divisive!!!11

how come when i first clicked the tweet i got this crap one, i must have clicked people tweeting about this

Bernie Sanders will never stop being a toxic cancer to the left and to women. He knows this by now. He purposefully chooses to insert himself into situations where he does not belong because he wants to aggravate and stifle women's voices, he thinks his is more important.

stephanie ruhle's voice deserves to be aggravated and stifled lol

femalep

I did too. I don't know this Chris Evans person, so I couldn't figure out what I was supposed to be aggravated about.

for some godforsaken reason I was watching that MSNBC clip live this morning and my jaw dropped

does it get better before or afterward

well my jaw is fine thankfully

lol

I don't believe for a second that these meme-jiving "politics nerds" don't understand that most senators are lead sponsors of few bills that pass and the majority of them are either naming post offices or making very small incremental changes to an existing law. Although I do think they may really see politics as a kind of sport where your "record" in terms of "getting stuff passed" matters more than substantive policy. Because they don't really believe in anything *except* small tweaks to existing law, they have no political imagination and can't conceive that anything other than what we have now but tweaked a bit is possible.

Chris Evans is part of the "K-Hive," which manages to do worse than treat politics as sport by treating it as a fandom.

Also, I mean he's Bernie Fucking Sanders, and her suggestion to try a different "lane" or whatever basically amounts to "Maybe you should try not being Bernie Sanders" -- he is at the left edge of the party, and of course he's going to propose bills that don't get passed, because the democratic party doesn't support his agenda. "Why don't you try being a regular democrat and not achieving anything you want to achieve anyway."

If he'd gotten on the mass incarceration and pervasive national security train with the centrists, he could have put his name on way more laws.

Or an important anti-flag-burning bill like Biden

Hey that was his big environmental push

fp’ing carne for putting that tweet and, worse, its garbage replies into my head. Need a trigger warning man

I guess if I had to live inside that guy’s head I’d be FUcKINg SCREAMInG too.

always good to be reminded how many people on the “left” (including 98.9% of MSNBC idiots) could really not give a fuck if poor people die

*ahem* FACT CHECK

2/3rds of the way through and it's a good round-up.

Great piece by @gabrielwinant on the US left which hammers home the lesson that electoralism without working-class organising is trying to build socialism on sand, while highlighting the challenges of cohering a socialist, antiracist left. 1/2https://t.co/HOArvj3636

I like Bernie Sanders, a lovely old man who says nice things that make sense. Do you? You do? Great! Now, you must also listen to these two dozen insane Youtubers and podcasters, who are constantly in fights with one another for some reason,

Waikiki is a really great account. Knowledgeable about a lot beyond politics stuff too.

whether you like him or not everyone can agree that bernie’s message discipline is incredible pic.twitter.com/kC264MZU1h

Soon to be chair of the budget committee!!!

woooooooooooo i hope joe manchin can't fuck that one up too

I think Bernie should get a little adrenochrome as a treat.

especially with the likes of Joe Manchin out here showing his ass today jfc

lol xpost

still blows me away that there are so many bernie haters. they are abSURD

well there were podcasters and people were being mean on twitter

i doubt a single one of them makes under 50k a year!

in that clip bernie is 100% otm. joe manchin had better not become the 2021 reincarnation of joe lieberman from 2009-10.

Bernie and Biden were probably the only candidates who could have won, as head to head polls indicated throughout.

my unprovable suspicion is that a whole lot of people who are not named Clinton could have beaten him tbh

anyone smart enough to sit back and mostly so the "let him trip on his own dick" campaign approach would have had a decent shot

I used to think that. I feel like we have to reconsider the “layup election” talking point though
