Bernie Sanders 2020 campaign megathread v2 (pg 77 - declares victory in Iowa)

[Landslide Lyndon]

It's funny how Saint Bernie can't stop (or at least he says so) the bros from behaving like entitled jerks on the internet but he will absolutely persuade Mitch McConnell to pass his policies.

Imagine hating Bernie so much you're willing to resort to casual sexism to score points on him

(and this is coming from someone who agrees with dotard and finds the doxing in poor taste)

Imagine loving Bernie so much you're willing to resort to casual racism to defend him.

See how that also doesn't make any sense?

Bernie Bro is an inherently gendered term. It erases female supporters of the Bernie campaign.

I guess you are one those guys who think using the name X-Men makes someone a sexist.

FTR though, I accept the fact that female Sanders supporters can be as big jerks as his male supporters.

[Landslide Lyndon]

It's incredibly irritating when Bernie Bros pretend to be oblivious to semantics and context just to divert the conversation away from their incredibly toxic behavior.

Your buddies on Twitter told WFP members to "eat s**t and die", "I hope you get cancer", "drop dead dumb c**nt", etc. etc. and you're sitting here going

You clearly have no idea of who I am or what my positions are if you're going to make that argument. My views of the WFP spat and Elizabeth Warren are publicly available on here, and they certainly aren't "what the cultists did is justified". Dare I say that misquoting me as defending their actions is defamation of character. There are ways to condemn it without resorting to sexism or racism. That's why I didn't go after dotard.

Then again, I shouldn't be surprised that you're doing this. Jumping to conclusions without checking the facts is par for the course for you.

So much outrage, so little time.

The guy made a fake quote of me defending vile things. I think we all can agree my outrage is justified.

Yeah, and I am a certified sexist. Congratulations for getting us both mr. Grand Inquisitor.

[Landslide Lyndon]

Love it when supporters of other candidates jump into this megathred to attack my candidate and defame my boys. Great look y'all.

Dude, Biden can't take a pee without Bernie bros attacking him as worse than Hitler.

Reading through the comments in this thread really reinforce why I'm a Sanders supporter, whether he wins or not. And why I'm glad Sanders doesn't self-identify as a Democrat or a Liberal.

This is somewhat off-topic, but I find the people like yourself (green avatars and the left-wing independents) so much more tolerable to read and interact with on this forum than the rank partisan red avatars. It is really refreshing to hear perspectives that are free from tribalist dogma.

Of course you do. There is a reason why the horseshoe theory exists.

[Landslide Lyndon]

But it was Hillary and her voters who acted entitled.
Amirite?

I thought that Biden's "let's work with Republicans" was the dumbest thing a candidate has said this cycle until I watched Bernie's interview with Joe Rogan. He claims if the Republicans try to block his proposals he'll hold anti-McConnell rallies in KY. LOL

He says the same thing four years now every time he is asked what he'll do when Republicans block his legislative agenda. This and his refusal to abolish the filibuster show to me that he is not serious about passing any meaningful progressive legislation.

At what point does one's net worth become immoral? It seems we've established it's higher than $2,000,000 but lower than $1,000,000,000.

Wealth in the form of unearned capital is immoral, and getting more than 2 million dollars is typically associated with starting to accrue large amounts of that, yes.

So if someone wins more than 2 million in the lottery that makes him immoral?

[Landslide Lyndon]

LOL

If you don't see that the Democratic establishment needs huge change, you're not on our side.

Death to the counter-revolutionaries!

[Landslide Lyndon]

That's not even true. Biden has gotten a lot of questions about his age and fitness.

[Landslide Lyndon]

Even if she was Putin's fiercest critic, no serious Democrat should touch Gabbard with a ten foot pole. Her record makes Joe Manchin look like a hippie and the fact that self-professed progressives adore her so much is very telling about their agenda and priorities.

[Landslide Lyndon]

Look buddy, it'd be one thing if Clinton had produced evidence. I'll wait for a couple of months.

Saint Bernie has accused Democratic leadership of being in the pocket of Wall Street.
Has he any evidence for that?

There was also the case in New York where not long after saying the DNC should stay out of primaries, he endorsed Cuomo in the primary.

You guys pick on the loosest straws imaginable.  Being "at ease" with Wall Street, or "friendly" with banks (according to The Intercept, so this probably means Tom Perez used a bank once) does NOT mean that one is corrupt and in the pocket of big banks.

Y'all have thrown around the accusation of corruption so much that it's become totally meaningless.

And the New York Times article?

According to your own standard these things aren't hard evidence. You can't demand from the others a hand-written confession while you slander people with nothing more than innuendo and conjecture.

[Landslide Lyndon]

Stop dodging.

How is this dodging? You said we stop accusing Gabbard of being a Russian asset because there is no evidence for that. And yet you accuse Clinton of being a stooge for Wall Street based on nothing more than assumptions and speculations.
You can't have one standard for a politician and another for someone else.

[Landslide Lyndon]

I guess that makes Warren officially a corporate sellout.

Why do  ATLAS not ban posters engaged in trolling/fake information posting & intentional misleading posts? Gen-Mc is a well known paid troll who is also the illegitimate child of Alex Jones & he keeps posting nonsense & destroys the whole thread. This has become a Sanders hate thread based on lies & fake news.

Dude, all we did was post his own words. If that's considered "FAKE NEWS" then instead of throwing a hissy fit at us you should go ask your God King to stop saying stupid things.

Of course he doesn't. It's not like it will ever become a law.

[Landslide Lyndon]

I'll bet you good money that Sanders hasn't the slightest clue how his proposal is going to be funded. It's like his "break the big banks" proposal where when he was pressed by that New York paper to explain his plan he looked like a deer in headlights.

So what's your candidate's plan to fund it? Nobody can seem to give me an answer on this.

At least Sanders admits that taxes will be raised which is a start. Warren won't even commit to that.

You don't seem to read the news.

https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2020-election/warren-says-she-will-soon-release-plan-fund-medicare-all-n1069251

I think Warren made a mistake by committing to this Medicare for All fantasy.
But for Sanders fans to accuse her for lack of specifics, that's real chutzpah. 

[Landslide Lyndon]

I'm pretty sure you were the one throwing around the accusations. Look at your original post.

I just asked what her plan was to fund M4A. As you just confirmed yourself, she doesn't have one yet.

So maybe you guys should wait until she actually has one before you start ragging on Bernie. People in glass houses shouldn't throw stones as they say.

Warren is working on a plan which she promised to unveil soon.
Sanders OTOH admitted that not only doesn't have a plan but isn't even going to bother with making one.
If you think that they are the same then that's not my fault.

And again, the part you conveniently continue to ignore. This is Sanders' signature policy. He ought to be ready to answer everything thrown at him after all these years.
