Bernie Sanders 2020 campaign megathread

[Old Man Willow]

Sanders had every right to stay in until the end of the primaries, just as Clinton did. However, he should have dropped out in June instead of July. He held out for concessions to a platform that Hillary paid attention to. She picked RTW supporter Tim Kaine and never talked about any of Bernie's ideas during the GE. What an embarrassment that campaign was.

Resident neolibs triggered at the thought of implementation of policies that help the working class.

The rape thing is taken out of context and you and the other neolibs who use it know that.

On the other hand, the poor/white quote is the #1 reason I don't want Sanders to be the nominee, Trump will absolutely use that in campaign ads and if it's possible for any one thing to cost someone an election that will be it.

I remember hearing this in 2008 about how Obama will lose because of Rev Wright's godamn America tapes. Of course nobody cares

#1 Reverend Wright was not Obama.

#2 McCain refused to use Wright in campaign ads against Obama.

You must be logged in to read this quote.

He's making a psychological point/theory, maybe a weird one. But not inappropriate in the way people will frame it, just reading "naked children" and not going into what he was specifically talking about.

I actually do agree that these things seem awful out of context, I believe he will be an awful candidate. He also did not defend himself or attack Hillary well in the primaries, so he's not even a good debater.

Let's put aside the cultural issues preventing Dems from winning the upper south here. How in the F is Bernie supposed to campaign in OK while advocating the Green New Deal, which would replace the oil industry?

I wonder if Warren will be forced to attack Sanders, since she'll have to take a decent chunk of his supporters to become the progressive choice. Bernie would not even attack Hillary so it's unlikely he'll go after her.

Bernie is on TYT now, refusing to "disparage" the other candidates for being fake fair weather progressives on the major issues. This is part of the reason Bernie lost to Clinton and why he will lose again. Being Mr. Nice Guy doesn't work. If you won't call your opponents out for what they are the voters certainly aren't going to realize it on their own.

Daily Kos comment section was brutal on Bernie, apparently they don't want an "old white man".

I saw a post blaming Russians for Bernie winning their straw poll.

The muh Russia/Rachel Maddow types are all over the internet, the difference is in most places they are voted down and mocked, on Daily Kos they have the most likes.

Bernie supporters have taken over Youtube comment sections. Even Fox news videos bashing him get massively down voted. I've never seen a candidate with this much online support, it dwarfs even Trump's alt right legions.

You hear Democratic establishment,

Bernie is running a 50-state campaign. The way it should be.

If Bernie wins the nomination, he would be smart to do a Kerry-Edwards train-tour type campaign in the heartland.

You're right. They're secretly socialist, but they just don't know it yet. If only Democrats stopped talking about identity politics they'd come home.

I normally dont watch these kinda things, but Im snowed in and have nothing better to do. So far, Im highly impressed. Didnt expect Turner to be such a great speaker.

She voted for Jill Stein and encouraged others to do so as well.

The horror!

This is what happens when you listen to TYT and Kulinski. Believe any wild sh**t they throw out there because their boy ain't winning. No different from Fox.

Cenk and Ana are jokes, but I am absolutely shocked to learn that Kyle was participating in this garbage. I had to actually look it up to see for sure. How can they be this stupid? Some of the same people who laughed at the Romney unskewing debacle are now repeating it themselves. What the hell are they going to do when Bernie goes down in flames next year? Scream FAKE RESULTS?
