Bernie Sanders 2020 campaign megathread

[Progressive Pessimist]

Resident neolibs triggered at the thought of implementation of policies that help the working class.

Notice the lack of antagonism towards Warren. I think this is more about the inevitable re-litigation of 2016 (Kamala playing Hillary despite being more leftist but she's a frontrunner with a vagina so...) and the return of the Bernie cult.

That's exactly it. In this thread already we've seen the gate-keeping and purity measures that have become so intertwined with Sanders' existence as a candidate. And I like him just fine, for the record, just not as a national candidate.

Ladies and gentlemen, the 46th President of the United States

[Rookie Yinzer]

DOA.

Finally, a candidate white affluent hipsters can relate to.

Don't forget fraternities all over college campuses.

[NYSforKennedy2024]

I never see myself voting for Sanders as compared to Harris or Gillibrand, but I love the arguments he creates, lmao.

People love him or hate him.

Does no one else find the absurdity of a 79 year old man being President?

Someone ask Beji Caid Essebsi what he thinks.

Outside of aesthetics, there is nothing wrong with having a President 79 or over. If they can do the job then I don't see how their age is a problem. Everybody complained about Pelosi age until she started doing her job.

Implementation of policies? We're talking about Bernie Sanders? LOL.

Being Speaker is completely different from being President. This is a ridiculous comparison.

Yuck.

DOA.

[No War, but the War on Christmas]

Yuck.

DOA.

Anyone who thinks Bernie is DOA is seriously letting their bias cloud their judgment, he’s possibly one of the biggest and most competitive people to throw their name in other than possibly Biden.

Okay? That’s a weird response. Point stands.

Weird response? I'm laugh at the nonsense that you're spewing. Bernie is going nowhere expect to his home to take a nap.

So the man who consistently polls 15-30% in a crowded field and won 45% against the all but declared nominee in 2016 with a huge base of donors, supporters and campaign staff all lined up for him is “going nowhere”.

I don’t think I’m the one spewing nonsense. But sure, enjoy your gifs and quips.

Those polls are just name recognition.

If Bernie couldn't win win in 2016, he won't win in 2020. Also, since the field is much larger it will dilute the super progressive vote (Warren primarily). Additionally, if Biden runs, it's even more of a wrap for Cranky Old St. Bernard.

Just to be clear, our conversation is not about Bernie winning or not — you said quote on quote, he’s “DOA” and “Not going anywhere” which for a candidate of his stature is ridiclous.

Also Bernie isn’t Biden, the voters who like him are usually pretty engaged.

Wow. Not even Bernie would be so delusional.

Being the next FDR would not be great. FDR radically expanded the sizs of government. I personally believe that FDR is an overrated president (who tried to stay in office as long as he could). Bernie and FDR share similar ideas about expanding government. The difference is that people now know that this is federal overreach.

Of course, this is all moot, because he will not be thd nominee.

[JA]

Bernie or Bust, 2020! Baby!
