Bernie Sanders 2020 campaign megathread

[Eraserhead]

Pretty good polling day for Senator Sanders (minus the Q poll I guess... but even in that poll his support increased so...).

If I'm Elizabeth Warren, I'd consider using that against him if necessary.

Why did Bernie Sanders go on that doofus Joe Rogan podcast? The man has promoted pseudo-science and has given credentials to alt-right figures that have polluted the political discourse. What made him attracted to do an interview with a man that makes jokes about porn and weed instead of going to a more reputable podcast that has a mature audience who understands the hot topics are not all black and white, capitalism and socialism. You wouldn't see Warren or Harris going on the show, why does a politician with high name recognition and obvious platform doing this for exposure? Leave that guest spot to Tulsi Gabbard and other losers who have nothing to gain by appearing on Rogan's podcast.

Why go on a toxic podcast that has given a platform for outspoken white supremacists? Why not spend more investment on a podcast that caters to those that will vote in the primary?

Ah yes because one of the most popular podcasts in the United States totally doesn't have people that can be catered to, or vote in a primary.

I was at a party this weekend and there were a lot of people talking about the rogan interview. 7.4 million views and rising. This was a great way to get his message out and the fact he can pull off an interview like this highlights how he is a different kind of candidate than the others. Smart move.

[Beet]

Sanders campaign has gotten better since his debate performance.

Oh stop Bernie didn’t cost Hillary the election. If anything he could of saved it if her advisors and campaign heads stopped being so arrogant and payed attention to his success in Michigan

I won't go so far as to say that Sanders cost Clinton the election, but her being a better candidate from her primary with him is an assertion that may not have proven to be true. I definitely don't think he helped. She did come out of it somewhat wounded. Whether that's her fault, Sanders', or both can be debated, but one way or the other a "coronation" probably wouldn't have have bad as people make it sound.

[○∙◄☻¥tπ[╪AV┼cVê└]

When I saw Bernie before the California primary, he was attacking Trump and not Hillary. Hillary was a terrible candidate who has nothing but herself to blame.

[Statilius the Epicurean]

Yeah Bernie "The American people are sick and tired of hearing about your damn emails!" Sanders definitely cost Clinton the election with his personal attacks on her.

[GeneralMacArthur]

Yeah Bernie "The American people are sick and tired of hearing about your damn emails!" Sanders definitely cost Clinton the election with his personal attacks on her.

Yeah, about that.  He did a full 180 once the primary actually started, as he did on so many other aspects of his early civility.

Hillary supporters essentially elected Trump by knowingly supporting an unelectable candidate whose policies caused millions to die.

In a way they are closet racists or atleast responsible for most of Trump's policies. At the very least they should apologize for enabling murder & racism.

Nah, he didn't cause Trump. Entitled little 💩s like Hoarse Whisperer, who hate Bernie because he dared to challenge the notion that the Democratic nomination belonged to Hillary caused Trump.

It's a shame, because I like Hillary as a politician. She was legitimately progressive, and a good candidate who happened to face the worst opponent possible. She's not Kamala Harris, who has a Romney-esque inability to keep a position, and she's certainly not her husband. She just got the nomination at the wrong time against a candidate with tremendous appeal to the apolitical crowd (if you want to know why Bernie went on Joe Rogan).

Instead of looking at her incompetent campaign staff (looking at you, Robby Mook), Trump's manipulation of our broken media system, or the media itself (a product of capitalism, which incentivizes biased impartiality and provocative non-stories over objective coverage), you somehow decide to look at her most prominent primary challenger. He gave his heart working for Hillary, but "did nothing". He "enabled the conspiracies" despite having a sound bite defending her against the media's BS. Bernie Sanders could have offered himself up as a human sacrifice and it wouldn't be enough for you people.

There's a contingent in the party (consisting of many of the "respected voices" you tweet in your trolling brigades) that will do anything to get "revenge" on Bernie, even if it means extending our nightmare by four more years or defending Neo-Nazis. People like the Hoarse Whisperer and Zebop and Ragnarok Lobster are no different than Jacob Wohl or Milo Yiannopoulos or any other Online Boomer. They're Trump supporters by proxy and will sell us down the river to the fascists if it comes to that.

Landslide Lyndon... come on man, this isn't a 2016 rerun DEM PRIM.

It's heated up because the Washington Post are standing by their reporters (Just saw one of them earlier tonight on MSNBC) and maybe they are feeling like they are getting hit by two sides.

Amazon is still a big deal, especially in Democratic Party strongholds such as Seattle, where there has been massive community resistance against Amazon basically taking over roughly 50% of the Corporate Real Estate Market in Downtown Seattle, massively jacking up the the cost for virtually any other companies looking to lease smaller amounts of office space within the City.

It is also an issue in NYC, where Amazon abruptly pulled out of negotiations for a planned NYC HQ in Queens, NY.

https://hbswk.hbs.edu/item/seven-negotiation-lessons-from-amazon-s-hq-disaster-in-queens

Additionally, we have another issue.....

With the dramatic shift on online retailing where Amazon is essentially the "Top Dog", we see a massive rise in FCs (Fulfillment Centers), as well as the traditional model of DCs (Distribution Centers),

Warehouse Work is rough setting, now that every single worker's production is measured upon "prod", where your online scanners track "units of production by worker" with no concept of safety....

There is currently in the United States a massive issue when it comes to exploitation of workers in these types of fulfillment centers (FCs), where we might start our 6 AM 12 Hour shift with a safety gig, and the Swing Shift will have their equivalent.

Sure, now I am losing employees for new Amazon FC Centers that pay in Oregon starting $15/Hr, recruiting a new generation of younger workers without much job experience, not understanding the working conditions in these facilities.

So although this might sound odd, Bernie Sanders is attuned to the working conditions in these places (Where I worked briefly for three Months after I was laid off from a professional job), and although Amazon might sound awesome (We buy their Amazon.prime, we shop in their online marketplaces), at the end of the day, the cost of cheaper goods are born on the backs of the Warehouse Workers of America....

I tried to bring an ILWU Union Local into a DC/FC and got laid off within three Months as a direct hire.....

Amazon going off on the WP might seem odd, but going off against Amazon is not....

Bernie supporters essentially nominated Hillary by knowingly supporting an un-nominatable candidate whose policies caused millions to die.

In a way they are closet neoliberal corporatist warmongers or atleast responsible for most of Hillary's actions as a nominee. At the very least they should apologize for enabling Trump's election.
