Bernie Sanders 2020 campaign megathread

[Bumaye]

Gonna say it now: If Biden doesn't run (and maybe still if he does) Bernie will win decisively.
  
His only real opponent on his political wing is Warren and she is polling at what? 8 percent? Harris, Booker, Gillibrand, etc will take away each others votes. Bernie knows how to run a campaign, has much better infrastructure and more experience, a better staff than last time, fantastic name recognition and favorability, staggering numbers in terms of both donations and supporters and maybe most importantly as Trump has proven his core base can really make a difference in a crowded field. Oh and seriously Harris would be washed away in a head to head match up. How does she wanna attack him? "Your ideas and goals are so horrible and unrealistic that I copied them!"...?

The Democratic Socialist Party has endorsed Sanders.

Some people are taking this way too seriously. No one cares who Bernie hires for his campaign

[Bumaye]

Bernie is campaigning in the Safe D states, while Beto is campaigning in the swing and sometimes even Likely R states.

Who's a better campaigner?

Since it's a primary and one of the top contenders is a Senator from California ignoring the state with the most delegates doesn't seem like a winning strategy. Also last weekend Bernie was in South Carolina, Iowa and New Hampshire, not exactly safe D states.

[Bumaye]

Bernie's weekend in California ends with some very respectable numbers. 6.400 in San Diego, 15.000 in LA and 16.000 in San Francisco.

How are Harris' and Beto's rallies go outside of their home states?

[Bumaye]

No idea on Harris.

2.400 in Houston and 3.000 in Atlanta were her best AFAIK.

Her announcement had something like 20,000, I beleive. More than Bernie’s

I must have missed the part were Oakland left California. Because that was my point to begin with, that she does draw in comparison mediocre crowds outside her home state. And seriously if Bernie gets 75% of the crowd size she had at her first rally in her home state that wouldn't be something I would brag about if I was a Harris supporter.

They brag about polls where she’s in single digits... what do you expect?  Talk about a personality cult!

Let's talk when us fans of Senator Harris turn around and vote for Trump or the Green Party.

You mean what the overwhelming majority of Sanders voters didn't do?

Who cares about facts? That's just Russian conspiracy! (=Fake News for enlightened liberals)

[Bumaye]

Bernie has over 750k donations now.

If we go by his normal average donation of 27$ that's more than 20 million $.

The last ten years of Sanders' tax returns will be released on the fifteenth; Sanders challenges Trump to do the same:

What a leader! Can't wait to call this man our next President.

Only after three other candidates released theirs and after 4 years of pressure. What a leader! SLAY daddy Bernie 👏🏻👏🏻😩😩👌🏻👌🏻

Uh lmao hasn’t Harris not released hers either?

No one is demanding to see it out of suspicion ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Besides, it's not like I don't want her to. But to call ogle and call Bernie a leader for releasing it after four years of pressure is classic Bernie bro worship.

So what do you expect to find in Bernei's returns? All Senators are required to file annual financial disclosures, which is why reasonable people aren't demanding the returns of US Senators.

Yeah I don't get what people expect to find. Campaign contributions to Maduro? Black jack and hookers in Atlantic City? A child sex ring in a pizza restaurant?

Someone has noticed Bernie no longer says 'millionaires and billionaires' it's just 'billionaires' primarily, now that he himself is a millionaire.

Seriously being as old as Bernie and being for that long in congress simply makes you a millionaire. Doesn't change his message or his voting record.

Actually this is a legit issue. What's stopping a bunch of prisoners voting for a candidate(DA) who promises more lenient sentences or looser laws on say sexual assault? It's such a can of worms especially considering a lot of prisons are in rural areas and prisoners often outnumber the people that actually live there.

In The Netherlands and Finland for example every inmate is allowed to vote and as we all know they legalized rape and pedophilia. /s

In Germany you can only lose your voting rights in case of treason or if a court has ruled that you have a severe psychological issue.

When Trump tries so hard to delegitimize mainstream media, giving him  an assist like Sanders does is totally unacceptable.
Period.

American News and Talkshows suck major ass, that's a fact and speaking the truth should never be unacceptable. Period.
