  1. You are seriously suggesting a person at a socialist magazine that is much farther to the left of Bernie, a magazine where there is no evidence that they have any influence over Bernie's campaign is going to suddenly be elevated and influential after he wins? Just own up and say that people are mean on Twitter, I would by that argument a lot more than you trying to link Jacobin that has no real influence on anything to Bernie.
  2. Like I said either this is fair game or it isn't. He literally came out in the last debate to say he disavows all this shit, if you're going to keep posting these random tweets from people who have almost no base then I'm going to find my own to show.
  3. https://newsone.com/3903564/attacks-against-black-women-during-political-cycles-emphasizes-lack-of-respect/ You may be right that he's not a paid person but he edited his Twitter profile to remove a reference to Pete. He previously held political positions in West Virginia, so he's not a random Twitter person I just picked out. I also don't care about this Jacobin writer either, she can fuck off, I just want you to realize that you posting tweets of people with virtually no following isn't indicative of anything.
  4. The person is literally a paid surrogate who then said he was hacked. I could argue that he has a lot more influence than a writer for a socialist magazine who only has 7000 followers and isn't on Bernie's staff. Are you seriously trying to make this argument about which posts matter?
  5. Do you not have anything to say about what I just posted about a Pete surrogate? If posts online are supposedly fair game as to what we should treat as being divisive then you going to have to own up to your own campaigns problems. I don't care about some socialist writer on Jacobin. I agree that I don't think it's helpful at all but I also don't think it's going to matter one way or another. I also don't think Steve's comments about Nina Turner affected people deciding whether they should vote for Pete.
  6. Yes, please tell me how strong Unions are in this country as if they haven't been gutted since Reagan and even before.
  7. Lol at all this talk and then literally not mentioning how strong labor rights are in Germany dude, it's almost as if people can earn a decent living without a college education in Germany. That is not the country I would pick to draw a comparison to.
  8. You are getting upset by an account with 7000 followers as if a bunch of Bernie people in Texas, or Bernie himself, is going to start shitting on Beto because they think that messaging will work. It's amazing how much any random tweet supposedly signals how unlikely Bernie is to coalesce while I've shared Tweets of Bernie Supporting Women who were called c*nts and it fell on deaf ears. You may want to log off Twitter, a surrogate for Pete (Steve McElroy) said he wanted to muzzle Nina Turner and then later is now claiming he was hacked which is completely BS and I haven't seen you talking about this divisiveness.
  9. Have whatever thoughts you want, but he's said PLENTY of shit like this throughout his career, an interview on 60 minutes isn't going to stop that from being used against him. Cuba's literacy rate is higher than the United States' as well. Maybe in September or October he's not saying these things as frequently, but we're still months away from Milwaukee and he's going to test how many people actually give a shit about this.
  10. It pisses me off how much shit we've received on here for being called Bros and blamed for helping deliver Trump because too many of us supposedly didn't vote for her in the general (I don't think a single Bernie supporter here has said they voted for Trump). Now you have actual posters on here who supposedly dislike Trump but are on record saying they will not vote for him and there is virtually no pushback.
  11. The tax everyone pays is for M4A dingus, I know you know this, and you no longer have deductibles, co-pays, and out-of-pocket expenses. The speculation tax is what goes into debt forgiveness and making public colleges tuition free. https://berniesanders.com/en/issues/green-new-deal/ https://berniesanders.com/issues/medicare-for-all/ https://berniesanders.com/issues/free-college-cancel-debt/
  12. I cannot wait for the next 8 months from you as Bernie is gaining steam and you're doing nothing but whine and bitch and moan about him. His website has all of his policies listed in lots of detail and he has said at multiple rallies that he's going to pay for M4A by literally instituting a tax for everyone and paying for student debt and tuition by instituting a tax on Wall Street speculation. What you honestly could really argue is how likely are these plans to be passed even if the Democrats control the Senate, which is a fair argument and reason for debate. It's amazing how mad the past 24 hours have made you because it's so clear that you see Bernie winning this nomination and you can't do anything to stop it.
  13. Almost like his campaign website has all the information you'd need. https://berniesanders.com/en/issues/green-new-deal/ https://berniesanders.com/issues/medicare-for-all/ https://berniesanders.com/issues/free-college-cancel-debt/ And I anticipate your response will be "I don't believe that at all he's LYYYYING" in which case I'll think back to when you kept pushing Amy freaking Klobuchar who seriously thinks a couple of tax credits are going to fix the student debt crisis.
  14. I definitely know of several people who voted for Bernie because they were Republicans and disliked Hillary that much. You even have Republicans in South Carolina saying they're going to vote for Barney because they think he's going to be easier to defeat.
  15. Lol just saw that. Is this rally in Austin at Zilker Park?
  16. There is no data to suggest this and even if people can get turned off by attack ads then you can literally say the same thing about all the other major candidates.
  17. Okay cool, you want to talk about numbers then you're aware that there has been tons of polling to suggest that Bernie is at worst no better than any of the other nominees to beat Trump. There is no data to suggest that Bernie is going to cause all these suburban moms to suddenly run back to the GOP, a betting line doesn't prove anything lol. https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/polls/president-general/
  18. It's a loooong shot, but given how much Texas has transformed in the past decade I really think Bernie could flip it with him galvanizing the Latino vote there that probably didn't turn out in strong numbers before. At the very least he's going to make Trump burn a ton of money defending it.
  19. First off, this exact opposite candidate of Bernie ran in 2016 and we saw barely any gain in down ballot races. Second of all, acting as if there's this enormous bloc of swing voters that are squishy and voted GOP but switched to Democrats in 2018 and suddenly Bernie is going to scare them away is, at best, bullshit. There will undoubtedly be people who may be turned off, but there is no scenario where the House is going to flip back to GOP or even come close with an energized voting base that Bernie has. This idea of this magnificent swing voters is mostly bullshit anyways, people identify with a party and sometimes they do or they don't come out. Trump being on the ticket is going to motivate a LOT of Democrats to come out regardless of what they think about Bernie, the ones who are suggesting that this isn't going to happen have said that Bernie had no chance in hell at winning the nomination and yet he is the one that keeps rising in the polls. https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2020/02/06/rachel-bitecofer-profile-election-forecasting-new-theory-108944
  20. I'm sorry are you actually suggesting that Bernie just simply hoodwinked a ton of people in Nevada without talking about any of his policies? Suddenly the curtain is going to be opened and all these people are going to vote for Republicans? Do you know a single thing about how his campaign operates?
  21. There are democrats who have voted a shitload more for Trump's judicial picks and legislation than Bernie has, no one cares except never-Trumpers. It's fine if you don't vote for Bernie, again we were the ones constantly lectured by people that we gave Trump his victory, but you can never say Trump is this existential threat that must be defeated at all costs.
  22. lol, except polling in Nevada has showed he won over the moderate and more conservative democrats.
  23. LMAO, where in the blue fuck did that number come from? First of all, do you not know how a progressive tax works? Second of all, all income over $29,000 is not going to be taxed at 52% dipshit, here's a freaking tool to help you. Your taxes aren't changed from their current amount until you hit $250,000. https://www.bernietax.com/
  24. Damn, I don't follow UFC much anymore. That makes sense.
