  1. Bernie in East LA today /cheech. What an opportune time for this untapped voting bloc to show up. https://www.latimes.com/politics/story/2019-11-16/bernie-sanders-heads-to-east-l-a-for-a-rally-as-part-of-his-outreach-to-young-latinos Nationwide, Latino voters are expected to be the largest minority voting bloc in 2020, surpassing black voters for the first time. But campaigns have failed to mobilize their full potential: Voter turnout for Latinos falls behind black voter turnout. And Latino voters in the U.S. skew young: Of the estimated 32 million eligible to cast ballots, 43% are 18 to 34, according to the research firm Latino Decisions. The average age of Latinos in the U.S. is 30. Sanders polls well with Latino voters. Nationally, 34% of likely Democratic Latino voters under 30 supported him, compared with 11% for former Vice President Joe Biden, a November youth poll by the Institute of Politics at Harvard found, according to its polling director, John Della Volpe. And in a California poll released Wednesday by the Latino Community Foundation, 31% of Latino registered voters surveyed said they planned to vote for Sanders, compared with 22% for Biden and 11% for Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts.
  2. Bernie still the only candidate to speak honestly and bluntly about a wide range of foreign affairs. This tweet is similar to statements from Jamal Khashoggi before he was murdered. Bernie is the only one who gives a fuck. Why haven’t other candidates spoken up about these atrocities? Do you trust your candidate on foreign policy? What do you point to in order to voice support of said candidates foreign policy? You trust their imagination? Is the rest of the world not important? Are we back to thinking our little bubble won’t burst? Or is it you simply won’t notice? I was told we were the leaders of the free world.
  3. Bill Maher has lost all of his fucking marbles. Pretty sure I watched him tell Bernie after one of their interviews he would be with him in 2020. All to watch him squirm at the idea come crunch time. He can’t even broadcast a truthful show without a progressive there to slap him around and laugh to his face.
  4. This guy can thoroughly explain Bernie’s wealth tax and sign off paying homage to Nate Dogg and Warren G?
  5. Bad start for Louisiana today
  6. The only right answer. Why Zeke deal needed to be done at all costs. The time is now.
  7. At least he left Kingpin out of it
  8. And there’s like 3 or 4 people legitimately running for the democratic nomination. Assuming undecideds will not follow their respective trends is disingenuous. I’ll get back to you in a few months.
  9. Sexism against women. I misspoke and corrected this when pointed out no problem. Really has no bearing on the argument on either side anyway. No crutch for you. I agree w your first sentence. Your imagination and cover starts with the rest of that paragraph. Again it starts with white male. It doesn’t start w sexist. I mean the article it started with even said so. Every Bernie Bro is a white guy. Not every Bernie Bro is a sexist. It stuck with Bernie bc it’s constantly regurgitated. It stuck w Bernie bc he has enemies in high places and for good reason. There is no stereotype that fits a Bernie supporter. There is one that fits a Warren supporter. Definitely more so than a Bernie supporter. Even then it’s definitely possible to just fucking make something up. You know? I understand why Warren Bros is not a thing very clearly. It’s one set of rules for one candidate and entirely different set for everyone else. One of us is comfortable with false assumptions that’s for sure. Nah
  10. How is it the Jew gets repeated standing ovations at an Islamic convention? Bernie and Castro were the only ones to show up despite everyone being invited. Believe even Trump. https://www-m.cnn.com/2019/09/01/opinions/bernie-sanders-muslim-american-support-obeidallah/index.html?r=https%3A%2F%2F Who else has commented on Chinese Uyghurs? Kashmir? Palestine?
  11. I know what I’m arguing. You’re the one changing positions mid argument. I mean this is the first time you’ve said Bernie Bro is code for white males. Before it was about sexism against women. Don’t equate the two. Don’t hide behind sexism against women. The major player with the term Bernie Bro is white males who can be sexist. Not sexists who can be white males. Uncomfortable questions that this rabbit hole began with. Bernie has the most diverse supporters. Warren has the least diverse. Why does Warren not get a similar label? Something that labels her supporters predominately white when that is indeed the case. In Bernie’s case it’s fucking fairy tales. Why do Warren supporters not merit the same attacks? Is it because Warren is preferable to the establishment than Bernie? Why is that when their platforms seem to be incredibly similar? Why should I trust Warren over Bernie? All this given that we both agree Bernie Bro is code for white males.
  12. I’m giving no pass. In fact the way I view it it’s worse bc women are included in minority when it comes to power. We will have to disagree bc the moment you admit Bernie Bro is code for white male you have to start asking uncomfortable questions.
  13. My mistake. Sexist against women. The article doesn’t mention sexist against women but white middle class perhaps upper middle class male.
  14. Defensive? Maybe I should of went with you look stupid bc you view it through a weird sexual assault prism instead of idk explaining my viewpoint. A quick google search of Bernie Bro leads to this article as the creation. https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2015/10/here-comes-the-berniebro-bernie-sanders/411070/ Odd it doesn’t mention sexual assault. There is this tho The Berniebro is not every Bernie Sanders supporter. Sanders’s support skews young, but not particularly male. The Berniebro is male, though. Very male. The Berniebro is someone you may only have encountered if you’re somewhat similar to him: white; well-educated; middle-class (or, delicately, “upper middle-class”); and aware of NPR podcasts and jangly bearded bands.
  15. Warren is nothing like Hillary. I’ve questioned why she didn’t endorse Bernie last time if their ideals are so closely aligned. I’ve questioned if she will really fight for everything she says. I’ve questioned why she’s running on Bernie’s platform. I’ve questioned why the powers that be seem a lot more comfortable with her than Bernie. What is bad faith about these questions? I don’t want you to believe anything but what’s actually happening.
  16. Well good thing you’re here to set me straight. It was all about demographic facts and the truth trying to be kept under wraps. Bernie Bro is used without a second thought all throughout this thread and everywhere else by random people to describe pretty much any supporter of Bernie Sanders. But csb you sure won’t have to face reality if that’s what you’re going with.
  17. Call them whatever you want. Then be sure to come up w a false snarky name for everyone and get it mainstream. This is what’s done to Bernie. It won’t happen to another candidate because the powers that be aren’t fucking scared of anyone else. They have that part right as they usually do. Who to worry about and who not to worry about.
  18. I’m trying to hold up a mirror but they won’t open their eyes. Instead I whine when I live in reality and observe. Or wait I’m better than you. I guarantee I’ve done some not so great things and still do. Just not afraid to open my eyes look in the mirror and try and be better. But it’s too hard and too scary. I should stop and go along w the show but username checks out.
  19. So you think sexist against women is where Bro originated from? Bro is used to mislead and falsely claim supporters of Bernie Sanders are predominately white males. Never mind that it’s 50/50 male/female. Fact is his base is the most racially diverse and Warren’s the least. Bro is intentionally used to make minorities (women included) feel as if they aren’t there. It’s a narrative that is obviously verifiably false. There is no way it is not sinister.
