Bernie Sanders 2020 campaign megathread

[Sherrod Brown Shill]

That’s especially true when Bernie makes statements like, “We have got to look at candidates, you know, not by the color of their skin, not by their sexual orientation or their gender and not by their age. I mean, I think we have got to try to move us toward a non-discriminatory society which looks at people based on their abilities, based on what they stand for.”

It's horrifying that these activist factions want to make the Democratic Party a place where this statement is controversial. You're building a party on identity hustlers and their dupes.

At the moment, Biden, Sanders, and Buttigieg collectively account for a large majority of primary support.  It's no coincidence that they've had such success in a crowded primary while doing less to pander to these toxic tendencies than anyone else in this crowded field.

This is the crux of what I'm saying personally i'm the wrong leftie to talk to about affirmative action, because both my parents got screwed over hard by it.

Nice to meet you CJ Cregg. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9YjoSMwVOXQ (Ok, idk if CJ Cregg would really be a leftie but whatever.)

Love it.

In all seriousness though, both my parents were.

Bernie supporters are going vicious over a person of color commentator known for her criticism of Bernard outreach to her audience. The continuous uproar over 2016 isn't done yet, as the Bernie/DSA crowd will continue fighting against the wishes of the Democratic voting base, not realizing they should bend over and support the next candidate to DEFEAT Trump.

This post seems vaguely racist to me.

[GP270watch]

Bernie Bros are not the worst because Trump's deplorables exist but they're pretty awful.

[DrScholl]

Taking a picture with a black person and holding up a piece of fried chicken is more than just a little bit tone deaf. I'd have expected Trump to do this sort of photo op first (the whole taco bowl stunt is similar though), but someone else beat him to it.

Except I assume that black man works at a place that sells fried chicken...

Please stop doing violence to the English language.

Well, I edited that sentence. Good?

You’re right. Obviously Bernie should’ve requested that a white person take a picture with him holding up the piece of fried chicken so as to not appear racist.

Y'all know the cook posted the photo on his own Facebook?

[Xing]

Yeah, the man in the picture sure looks unhappy and is if he was forced to take the picture.

[Türkisblau]

Depressing to see Atlas embroiled in the same meaningless bullsh**t that permeates twitter. He goes to an event promoting local restaurants and is sampling something a supporter of his made when a photo is asked for. If anything, it's positive because it shows that he's unaware about how it could be twisted. It's everyone else's racism and stereotyping that casts this as anything negative.

[Zaybay]

Alright, theres been some dumb controversy this 2020 cycle, but this has got to be the dumbest.
