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

[Donerail]

Can anyone name a single person in any of the other campaigns as bad as the least-problematic of the above Team Sanders individuals?

The Biden campaign: Joe Biden

[Donerail]

Brie Brie is back to doxxing people on twitter. I’m not gonna put it here but you can go find it if you want

Yep, the Sanders campaign celebrated their one millionth donor by picking a random Twitter critic and tweeting out his personal financial information for the horde to descend upon.

Shocking to learn that twitter user "armandodkos" is a guy named Armando who used to work for Daily Kos. Really reprehensible that the Sanders campaign is revealing this secret personal information about him. Not a good look :/

[Donerail]

No...and he obviously won't although the DSA would no doubt want him to.

DSA is an organization of ~50,000+ dues-paying members. You're quoting four twitter accounts

But the organization did ban clapping at its meetings.

The national organization requested that people not clap at its 2019 convention. Which is honestly something I support — difficult to get through a bunch of procedural resolutions at a convention if you're going to stop for a few minutes of applause after every speech. (Unlike the DNC or RNC, which is mostly a made-for-TV spectacle, there was a lot of business that went on at the DSA convention and things were chronically behind schedule.) A political rally is a different environment, and there's certainly been clapping at all the rallies I've attended for DSA-aligned candidates.

[Donerail]

And even without time wasting clapping, the DSA achieved nothing.

Now control over a tenth of Chicago's city council, but keep spinning

[Donerail]

Can a Bernie supporter please explain the federal jobs guarantee to me? It sounds like a genuinely awful proposal.

No job? Job sucks? You can get a job with the federal government for $15/hour with healthcare benefits. Not sure what other details you're looking for.

[Donerail]

What will I be doing at this job?

Maybe you're one of the millions employed as part of the Green New Deal, maybe you're working in our new universal pre-K system, maybe you're a teaching aid or providing pre/afterschool care, maybe you're working in elder care, maybe you're a postal worker, maybe you're an artist, whatever you're interested in. So no, we're not mostly talking about infrastructure jobs.

What skills are required? Where will these jobs be located?

As illustrated above, there are a range of possible jobs that would be relevant in all communities.

Is it a worthy investment of taxpayer dollars?

Yes.

What if I don't like my new government job?

You can quit and get a job somewhere else. Your string of questions about the specific HR policies can be handled by an appropriate representative.

Why would anyone continue to work for under $15 anywhere else if they can just work for the government and make that amount?

Now you see the point

[Donerail]

Bernie take my artery

[Donerail]

The Liz Lads once again derailing the Sanders thread with their awful spam, proving themselves to be the worst fanbase of any candidate.

In actual news, Bernie called for a 32-hour workweek at the UFCW forum. Good stuff!

[Donerail]

When John King asked if their endorsement was 'too hip-hop,' he was referring to the fact that all three of those women represent districts where hip-hop is popular, and Dems need to appeal to country fans right now.

[Donerail]

Polls only matter when Sanders is not doing well, as we all know.

Literally not a single poster has ever said this.

Oh, so now we're criticizing posters who draw sweeping conclusions from a possibly unrepresentative sample of random people they saw on twitter? I see...

[Donerail]

I guess that makes Warren officially a corporate sellout.

Lmao says the guy who didn’t have a job till he was forty.

yeah, why didn't bernie grow up and get a job fucking over union mineworkers like a real adult?

[Donerail]

Dump Trump!

Flush Trump!

Traitor Trump!

Or anything besides their tired old sh**t.

Mirroring Democratic rallies after the Magat Nazi sh**tshows is not a good direction to go in I think.

Atlas user James Monroe hates winning. Too bad!

[Donerail]

Only. One. Campaign. Does. This.

Absolutely unacceptable. There's no way I can vote for Bernie Sanders after seeing that one of his low-level staffers said something rude about... Jefferson Junior High... in 2010

[Donerail]

If Pete's nearly-decade's old comments are fair game, so is this.  If Warren's speeches to the Federalist Society nearly 30 years ago are fair game, so is this.  If Biden's...well...everything is acceptable, so is this.

None of those things are comparable to a staffer's tweets from junior high.

Which begs the question of, why does he instead continue to hire people whose sole qualifications are being rabid, deplorable attack dogs for him on Twitter?

Cuz it pisses off people like you?

Outside of the Atlas bubble, most of the electorate is people like me.

Normal people with normal brains do not spend their Friday evenings obsessively researching the nine-year-old tweets of low-level campaign staffers, so no, I don't think most of the electorate is "people like you."

[Donerail]

Or is is just because you like Bernie Sanders and don't like Pete Buttigieg?

Yes. Thanks for playing!

[Donerail]

Well, at least you recognize that you're a disingenuous hypocrite.

Seems a bit unfair — if I'm open about it, surely I'm an honest hypocrite?

But, yes, I don't really care whether Bernie is getting a fat check from Ben and/or Jerry. Buttigieg is another matter, but all evidence seems to suggest he was a corporate weasel well before running for president, so. Mainly worth discussing because other people seem to care about it -- it is a fairly effective cudgel that brings people over to our side

[Donerail]

Hypocrisy is inherently disingenuous by its very nature.

Then you're just being redundant. I award your post a C-; please do a better job of proofreading your work on your next assignment.

[Donerail]

Sending volunteers out to the doors to talk sh**t about other Democrats is disgusting but it’s Sanders so his fans will hand wave it and call people who don’t like it sensitive but would have been ready to burn down Warren HQ if she even THOUGHT of doing that to him.

Seems like everyone's freaking out over a non-story

But don't let the facts interrupt an opportunity to rant about THE BROS!

[Donerail]

Bernie supporters are now tweeting and implying that saying "Warren is my second choice" is the offensive part of the script (what?) completely misrepresenting his attack. Actually, that part of the script and the "optional" "I like Warren" part is very condescending in this context.

That part offended me because I do not like Elizabeth Warren. The campaign shouldn't be asking its supporters to put forward a message that ignores us.

[Donerail]

Sanders people on Twitter are spreading misinformation claiming that it is just a "new volunteer on Slack" when their Comms Dr. was pushing the same line of attack almost word-for-word.

It's polling data. It's going to sound the same no matter who it's coming from. Is Quinnipiac pushing a "disgusting attack" on Warren when they show the same thing?

[Donerail]

Perhaps they are saying that because he's the only candidate who supports M4A.

[Donerail]

Meghan McCain On Sanders: "I don't want another misogynist as president"

"McCain’s face reddened, and he responded, 'At least I don’t plaster on the makeup like a trollop, you c**nt.' McCain's excuse was that it had been a long day."

[Donerail]

Bernie's gonna win :')
