Bernie Sanders 2020 campaign megathread

[○∙◄☻¥tπ[╪AV┼cVê└]

His favorabilty went up (and is now higher than anyone else's) and so did his percentage of the vote according to Morning Consult so yeah... not bad.

His numbers didn't improve as well as Kamala's though, so there's a new threat.

That's quite a goalpost move from the claim that Bernie was the loser of the debate.

Bernie batting out for working class rapists! Good job pandering to female voters.

People like you will attack Bernie no matter what he says.

Well, I guess these things are more effective 3 days before the election.

"They are unanimous in their hate for me and I welcome their hatred" - FDR 3 days before the 1936 election.

Bernie has the net favorables in the Morning Consult poll. He has +52. Biden has +51. Warren has  +46.  Harris has +40. But OK, lets have our narrative based upon some small sample poll from a random pollster in 0.5% of the country.

I'm so glad that we have propaganda outlets like MSNBC to tell us that Bernie makes their skin crawl.

Why shouldn’t he?

It makes him look like an old angry white man.

So he should be happy about the direction of this country?

I for one can't wait until we take control of the Democratic Party, and James Monroe, consumed by hatred of us, turns to hard Trumpism.

I like similar far-left politicians such as Senator Warren, you won't see me leaving the party anytime soon.

You don't have the slightest idea what far left is.

He has a D- NRA rating despite being from Vermont. Every other significant VT member of congress or governor for a while (probably ever) has at least a C. Leahy has a C. Welch has an A. Shumlin and Dean had an A.

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.

all the horrible people on Twitter are Bernie supporters. 

All of them? OK.

Quoting a paper that does nothing but run hit pieces on Bernie?  Cool.  Guess this is what you do when your candidate is in utter collapse.

Leave the conspiracy theories to Trump and the Republicans.

Harris being in freefall is a conspiracy?  Must be those dastardly Bernie Bros!

Your crowd is attacking the free press because Your Guy isn't doing that exceptional in a field of more inspired candidates. Washington Post has been the most trusted newspaper for over 45 years and now you want to go after it's existence for questioning a politician? Go after the Fox News and Russia Today's, don't got all fizzle with a news source that has been reporting the truth.

If 5% is "inspired" what is 20%?  Asking for a friend.

Bernie is polling 8% on Democratic Underground poll right now. Not a good look for someone that is running in a extended field and has considerable name recognition.

Oh no, not the Democratic Underground poll!

Damn, Bernie better call it a day!

Democratic Underground should really rename themselves Democratic Establishment Hacks.

I miss the days when the SF Chronicle was allowed to call Kamala Harris a crony.

When was that exactly? I can't remember.

Jeff Bezos doesn't want to have Amazon pay taxes now. Especially since he might not be the richest person on the planet after his divorce.

Still waiting for Bernie to eliminate my mortgage.

Damn bro I picked the wrong debt to pay down.

Tax laws already benefit homeowners a lot. And mortgages aren't a net debt unless your house lost a lot of value.

This is such an... interesting exchange.

Despite being absolutely the right position, saying we wouldn't ban fracking "overnight" would get any other candidate destroyed by Bernie world. But then of course he pivots back to his stump speech saying the climate crisis is an immediate threat. Then why is banning fracking overnight not viable? Such a bizarre answer.

But assuming he's serious about not implementing an immediate fracking ban (whatever that even means... pretty obviously this wouldn't be legal), good on Sanders for taking the sensible position. Ya hate to see Bernie taking a more sensible and feasible position than my girl Liz.

I haven't listened to this interview yet but I'm looking forward to it!

He'd obviously ban new fracking, but old fracking would be grandfathered. That's just like how the Chevron refinery with a shoddy safety record next to the San Francisco bay in Richmond, CA would never be allowed to be built today, but it's grandfathered in.
