END TO END BERNERS: The Official Bernie Sanders 2020 Crew thread

Get in here, bros

If Bernie could make it through the primary (massive if) then I’d put money on him in the general.

All other issues aside, I'll heartily endorse anything that gets us closer to one day having a nonagenarian president. The older the better, I say.

all I want for this election cycle is for bernie to get heavily into steroids and punch ben shapiro’s head clean off his body at a live debate event before announcing that cm punk is his vp pick

I'm sorry but I think "Four years of Larry David on SNL" is a knock-down final argument in favor of Bernie if anyone is on the fence

wrong version of Finally tho!

Not sure if i prefer warren or bernie, but i think bernie will get the nomination, honestly.

Harris v Sanders seems like what it'll come down to

A very early test for Bernie is if he and his surrogates speak out, loudly and repeatedly, against supporters doling out online abuse in his name. If he/they do, he’s serious about being more than a purist spoiler. If not...

this is going to be a wonderful year

Good to see Clara “dapper white nationalist” concerned about civility this early in the game!

Insane and unhinged?

if he gets the nomination, i cannot fucking wait to watch him debate trump. i feel like trump is legitimately frightened of bernie

weren't they supposed to debate in 2016 then trump got cold feet?

Let’s get this started! Bernie’s haters can’t engage his ideas so they pretend all of his supporters are straight, white, men & invisibleize everyone else. This is what a #bernieBro looks like. #JustAnotherBernieBro #bernieBros pic.twitter.com/tnS8weH7LI

It is really funny how Warren’s bid has Trump letting loose a torrent of racist insanity and Bernie’s announcement has him like:

“Personally, I think he missed his time ... I wish Bernie well. It will be interesting to see how he does."

Please God

Be on Bernie's side this time

Usually when I wake up I get a few laughs on all that has been going in the US politics timeline. And its even crazier and funnier this morning.

The 27 Club

I think Bernie should tell the less onerous dems who are running to stop and support him. Then give them some positions in the cabinet and make the go to Sanders School one day each week to actually understand the issues and learn the politics. #BERNIE2020 @janeosanders

I'm gonna really commit myself to being civil and patient in my discussions of Bernie with Bernie-skeptics/Bernie-haters. But man, it's hard. Blood pressure already up today from trying to discuss this shit.

Nerdstrom is anti-nurses union, what a surprise

I like that lady, head of the California Nurses union and guest of the Sanders Institute. Completely psycho.

Those crazy women

threadban Nerdstrom plz

*among the most proactive

otm, seems especially unnecessarily DIVISIVE (that word the center hates) at a time when Bernie memes are actually BRINGING PEOPLE TOGETHER and helping us HEAL

these people only understand semiotics, and that barely. anything real--like the fact that people are suffering and they want a shot at a decent life for themselves and their family--just flies over their heads, which is why bernie always mystified them.

i thought the pt of the bernie memes was that he looked cute

agree with that. the first one i saw, with just the original photo and "disdainful rescue greyhound" as the caption, is still my favorite.

How much are op-ed sections just attempting to fund themselves thru hateclicks from promoting the most clueless professional-class courtier-wannabes anybody can find?

a not insignifcant portion for sure. jia tolentino really nails this in her book, mostly talking about bari weiss and other professional trolls but the same can apply to any belief system

bernie is a fucking cop

My amendment to #BackTheBlue and defend, not defund, the police passed the Senate overwhelmingly tonight by vote of 100-0

— Senator John Cornyn (@JohnCornyn) February 5, 2021

how are you going to have a socialist police state without police?

what was the amendment? i can’t find anything about it.

https://www.congress.gov/amendment/117th-congress/senate-amendment/558

Bernie was making the jerking off motion when he voted aye so it doesn't count.

Left can you explain to us what this means To establish a deficit-neutral fund relating to funding the police.

some right wing bullshit

anyone care to defend this

maybe just read the thread title and take it up somewhere else

He’s not in favor of police abolition. I think this became known during his recent presidential campaign.

exactly. bernie's never talked about abolition, and i'm not sure he's ever said "defund"? (correct me if i'm wrong)

and that's why he was my compromise candidate

Bernie being to the right of the people most invested in the ‘Bernie project’ on a variety of issues is not news.

Wait til you find out about defense budget votes!!!

Or this bad non-vote.

https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2020/05/bernie-sanders-absent-as-anti-surveillance-senate-amendment-fails.html

social democrats fucking love cops. in the UK we just had half a decade of the leftmost opposition leader ever instigating a pig-funding arms race with the far right. I sympathise with critical support to some extent but it rarely seems to be critical enough

He spoke on police abolition but it was conflated with defunding in the way the question was framed to him. But there are activists who drew a distinction between the two things and others who who didn’t. However the way he talked about “redefining” what the job is though went further than the way possibilities of reform are usually discussed by politicians at that level.

https://www.newyorker.com/news/the-new-yorker-interview/bernie-sanders-is-not-done-fighting

i've learned so much today. sounds like this bernie sanders guy is never going to be president unless he shapes up.

Isn’t this amendment just trolling bullshit designed to either enable attack ads or sow division on the left? Isn’t almost all defund the police activism focused on local governments and city councils? What is this amendment even going to do?

#defundthecapitolpolice

Most right-wing riots can be resolved with social workers

Or psychiatrists. "Is Antifa here in the room with us now, Bill?"

all the senate amendments from last night were meaningless:

In the 1990s, America had 51 major contractors bidding for defense work. Today, there are only five massive companies remaining. Defense contracting should be reworked to break up the massive contracts awarded to the big guys and create opportunities for firms of all sizes.
