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

🙌

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

Not gonna stink up the politics or biden threads, but how can anyone not wish he was president instead of Biden?

how can anyone not wish he was president instead of Biden?

anyone? I hear there are millions of people who wish Trump was president so fervently that they have mistaken their wishing for truth. I'd be surprised if all those people secretly preferred Bernie to Trump. or do they not count as people?

great question

Also I like Jamelle Bouie but fuck that entire thread full of jaded political dorks and fuck the fact that all he can muster in response to the need to address widespread hunger in this country is "well, ya gotta admit, good message discipline." He is a good guy but the political journ-o-twitter-sphere is so annoyingly jaded in the most uncool way.

2nd day of the Biden presidency = 2nd day of rt-ing Bernie merch meme I will never log off

god how i wish you would

i know this is vapid as hell but i think the bernie meme has resonance less like "he's so punk let's put him in fugazi" (my least favorite iteration so far) and more like "this is what i've shown up to work looking like for the past 3 months where's my coronavirus money you stupid flouncy assholes-in-charge". the ones that obliquely capture the spirit of the times are my favorite. bernie on an empty bus etc. bernie in that shot from "holy mountain" is also good because of the frisson between his attitude and the psycho-sexual energy of the mise en scene.

bernie in the red room is also good

im already sick of the meme but bernie out in front of berghain was my favourite

I am not at all sick of the meme because there are two distinct strains. Maybe three, actually. There is putting Bernie in weird places, incorporating him into iconic images, and then last (and maybe the best) are all the Jewish grandpa memes, which are very specific in their appeal and impact.

My general faves have been the cover of "Pretzel Logic" but also working an art fair stall selling Native American inspired art.

One reason I love this place: y'all are the only other group to shit on Williamson's shit take. Three libs I know in the last hour have shared it and said, "You can't believe what NRO published!"

oops wrong thread haha.

I love this thread too.

I get why everybody is either already sick of these or about to be, but how bout

nah, never mind, not worth it

wait where was the pretzel logic one? i'm m/l done with this meme but it's my partner's favorite thing and she would like that.

In the main Steely Dan thread, Jan 20.

Steely Dan: "Steely Dan's name has been popping up as a hip musical crush. Remember, this glossy bop-pop was the indifferent aristocracy to punk rock's stone-throwing in the late 70's. People fought

thanks, nickn!

That's fantastic!

i thought this one was good (marina abramovic's the artist is present)

anyway, this op-ed is great, including the proposal to make covid unemployment non-taxable which would be a huge deal for me personally, having stupidly just clicked through everything last year not realizing that unemployment was taxable.

No electoral road to socialism but the greatest meme of our lives.

it’s almost as if many women have decide feminism is a lens for the expression of their personal gendered grievances instead of a set of liberationist beliefs

Really surprised that when that loaded it wasn't berniechairmittens.jpg hitting the malfunctioning door of tom cruise f-22 at seventy mph tbh

This beats the Bernie meme and it’s not even close. pic.twitter.com/Mp2usWYNp4

I'm not even a fan of hers but it looks great
