Because she's from Hawaii - this is a state where the State Senate literally had 1 Republican in it.
I don't remember that, cause I didn't talk about AOC yesterday. But if you really think AOC is going to have an impact please don't have a breakdown in another Sanders thread
honestly having a hard time having any kind of actual reaction to this endorsement other than "of course legacyzero is in here to ineffectually dickwave"
One thing I learned in American politics is that every move is a craven political calculation. The calculation might not add up, might be stupid, a self-own or just plain dumb. But it is a political chess move nonetheless.
What Warren has to worry about is that Bernie is gonna be the main story news-wise now, so she may actually slide a little with less attention.
just because some deplorable people online are ironically supporting a politician doesn't mean they're evil
progressive policies will help even deplorable people - that's why there were obama -> trump voters who voted for obama when they needed the assistance but voted trump once they felt secure
not everyone is terminally online these days, some people might actually think universal basic income is good policy instead of picking their candidate based on online popularity, even if yang's starting point inplementation is flawed
but maybe he's been playing the long game all along - his speeches to asian american advocacy groups that have mentioned the growing dangers of white radicalization were actually all a secret ploy in his true plot of courting extremely online white incels! what a twist!

You've got me on board with this part at least. People deserve to be able to 1-to-1 contrast them all.
I was thinking she wouldn't endorse anyone. I also frankly didn't care much.
And I frankly don't care that much, still.
Bernie needs to improve his numbers with olds and Hillary voters. what does this accomplish to achieve that
Lmao "special guest"
SCOOP with @WaPoSean: @AOC is the "special guest"
at @BernieSanders's Queens rally, and is expected to support him for president.
Sure Jan.
Lol, AOC is too smart and politically savvy to make an endorsement now....
=/=
AOC making an endorsement will have a sizable impact on votes.

Didn't someone post in here yesterday that they only read this thread to do opposition research?
I actually disagree. Bernie is a better candidate but warren has a 1000x better campaign than anyone else in the field right now. Shit, Harris, Bernie, Biden, and Beto are all probably better GE candidates but their campaigns suck.
^^^^
but to reach across the aisle *and i love AOC but think it's a critical error on her part, you know on the broader election campaign*
i like your No Man's Sky content.
I don’t think she is that self preserving. I legit think she prefers Bernie to Warren but if/when Warren starts to win. She’ll switch over with no complaint
I do think the endorsement could at least maybe stymie the bleeding even if it doesnt help him actually gain any momentum
His actual campaign calls this claim into question due to who he keeps around him.
AOC endorsing Sanders is a zero risk move. Sanders losing after AOC endorsing does no harm to her.
Well, that's one way to slowpoke post news that's already been discussed for the last 4 pages of the thread.
I haven't seen any talk about how Sanders (actually) evaded the heart attack question, by saying he's going to hold this rally.
Interesting how the last member of The Squad isn't endorsing Bernie...probably because she knows she can be Senator Ayanna Pressley if she plays her cards right.
I’m probably in the minority but I’m pretty consistently impressed with Booker and I think he would make a great VP pick. He’s a bit middle of the road and bland on certain topics but he’s charming, carries the minorities, and has a pretty decent Voting record. He definitely needs to get out of this race sooner rather than later but I’m leaning him over Beto on a Warren ticket.
Well no one wants to back a loser so he might as well win the people that agree with him first before expanding the base. I'm not saying he's the favorite for the nomination or anything, but you gotta take the easy wins first at least.
Imagine what the response would've been like had AOC endorsed Warren tho. Rose twitter would've called her a traitor to the revolution and began posting guillotine emojis lol.
Honestly, this possible explanation makes a ton of sense. The backlash from the Bernie Or Bust crowd if AOC didn't endorse him right now would most likely be merciless. And I agree, once Bernie's out of the equation, I have no doubt that AOC will shift her endorsement to Warren.
This is actually a pretty smart desperation move for Bernie because it gets him back in the news, but otoh he's tied himself to the Squad who are probably not popular even among most Iowa/NH Dems.
So that's three women of color endorsing Bernie Sanders--apparently a big ego sting for some folks.
Van Jones on Warren;
"Mortal! Mortal! haha amazing she;s human i love it seeing them rip her apart hahahahjahaha im a fucking idiot hahaha'
"Mortal! Mortal! haha amazing she;s human i love it seeing them rip her apart hahahahjahaha im a fucking idiot hahaha'
This is going to be some primary, with all the types of endorsements and money sources being attributed to candidates. We will see who is effective, and who learns what lessons.
The people that Sanders chooses to surround himself with prove to me that he wont accomplish anything if he had power. He would be another trump like president who is in it to get high off feeling in control, of course not corrupt or idiotic but certainly just as arrogant.
I was really hoping that he would drop out but he seems to be getting a massive lifeline now and if the democratic primaries are prolonged then sanders and some of his most ardent supporters who are the worst scum comparable to trump supporters, people like Susan Sarandon, will make sure that democrats lose in 2020 just to teach them a lesson.
I’m already tired and want it to be over. Just tell me who it is so I can vote for them already.
So this "Bernie's Back" really is a response to his little sabbatical following his heart attack, is it not? Is there reason to wonder if AOC timing of this endorsement is also related to that?
All it’s gonna do is make this a more divisive primary.
We need to band together behind the obvious frontrunner already.
There's a state delegation loyalty thing at play I imagine.
