this thread is a daily Bernie is doomed and everyone who likes him sucks and is delusional circlejerk. People on here need to chill too. The hostility both ways is annoying as fuck

pretty sure most of this thread doesn't climb out to metapost about The Stans, let alone at that level
Well that Sanders/AOC thread is going about as well as expected.
Next few weeks when his numbers get a spike and likely start trailing off to near single digits is gonna be interesting. Peoples expectations are like watching a group of guys buy stocks, and high fiving each-other that the stock is going up in price... from their own buys.

It's a heck of a get for Sanders and I don't think it really hurts AOC terribly. Also in the likely event that Sanders does not win the nom, she could be quite useful unity-wise.
He actually had decent responses, though. I would take him over a cut to Klob or Gabbard. Or even Butti.
its really weird how he was just kinda able to crowbar his way into this (and the next?) debate
it’s because no one is stupid enough to throw more than a few bucks at tootsie.
You mean "normal"
I was just posting last night that political threads outside of this one are wildly different.
It was a joke lol yall cmon
I mean, he has had advertising presence for 1.5 years as "impeachment guy" so him getting 2% or so isn't that shocking.
ironically the endorsement thread is somehow even more hostile on balance than this one judging from what #305 compiled
Yes we know that. Moderation, anyone?
dude i want to like you, you just gotta realize the people in this thread live and breathe this politics shit like mad and demonizing them in OT on a regular basis is bullshit.
So was Klob's yet she somehow managed to get nearly as much speaking time as the frontrunners who literally have x25 her support. CNN also interviewed her first as soon as the debate concluded. CNN trying to make fetch happen but it's not working.
I've heard a few of your jokes. I don't think I've ever laughed.
There's a tweet right above that addresses this. Biden is done.
This is the correct take
Pete winning Iowa fucks Warren big time. I think it doesn’t even help Pete though; him winning Iowa would be like Huckabee winning Iowa in 08. Warren won’t gain the confidence boost she desperately needs.
AOC endorsing Bernie is good politics for everyone involved. How does nobody see that? Warren can hold the actual left while avoiding the squad discussion, AOC won’t hurt Warren with her endorsement, and Bernie gets a lifeline and can transfer the goodwill when it’s time.
As basically the frontrunner Warren did not lose any momentum to Biden at all and that's all she needed. The other candidates outside of her Biden and Sanders are completely dead.
Also the fact that Bernie did not go after Warren tonight tells me that they must have some kind of explicit or implicit understanding they wont fight on stage directly

Yeah but Biden helped Warren earn that fat stack.
this is the wildcard that worries people since some feel he went too late in 2016 and his fanbase followed.
Sure, but also, Twitter is weaponized all the fucking time. GG'ers and alt-right/Neo-Nazis have more support through Twitter than any sane person does, and Trump wasn't the first to weaponize it. Christ, anyone from the UK should know of Caroline Criado Perez's nightmare on Twitter.
This is exactly what I think as well. She avoids the radical socialist endorsement talking point for the general election.
Very true. Hopefully that won't happen though. And personally I think Pete's decision to turn full attack dog in this debate might prove to bite him in the ass moving forward.
I kind of want to see the “Pete wins Iowa: Chaos reigns” scenario now. This shit show primary deserves it.
Warren went positive when asked about the Squad-Ayanna endorsing Bernie. You love to see it.
they probably didn't discuss it beforehand, they just don't have all that much to fight over
and because they agree on certain things, that makes the tagteams come out almost naturally
