How are u posted:What's Bernie's campaign pay? https://www.cbsnews.com/news/bernie-sanders-reaches-salary-agreement-with-campaign-staffers/ quote:The union representing staffers, the United Food and Commercial Workers Local 400, ratified by vote an agreement instituting a $42,000 annual salary and a 50-hour work week. The campaign also provides field staffers with 100-percent health care coverage.

This thread making GBS threads on Warren for reaching a fair agreement with her staff’s union is the single most predictable thing in the history of internet forums.

How are u posted:What's Bernie's campaign pay? the equivalent position for bernie is $3,500/m with 100% health benefits and six days a week. they have "expected" 50 hour/week, rather than warren's 60, but the 50 isn't codified and they explicitly say organizers may work longer than that

Bernie's DC interns are also covered and make $20/hr, and his staff has 20 days paid vacation instead of 15.

Warren has no unpaid internships. She has unpaid fellowships. I give this slur against Warren twelve Pinnochios and a Gepetto angrily wagging his finger Bernie-ishly.

drat, Booker and Castro have campaigns about to sink into the seas of debt while Delaney and Bullock are idiots too conservative for the 2008 Democratic primary. Meanwhile Joe Biden is sitting all by himself, not paying any interns. What a loving rear end in a top hat.

And no, unpaid internship/"fellowships" are not the same thing as volunteers; I know that this is the main talking point to counter this, but they are very obviously not the same thing. Typo posted:Maybe you should explain to them why voting for a racist white lady who literally took a DNA test is bad? Yes - the update to this is that I have gotten my dad to say he will support Bernie. I'm waiting until closer to the primary to discuss with my mom because she isn't the type of person to discuss politics much and I don't want to leave several months between any arguments I make and the primaries. Sadly, the DNA test stuff specifically does not gain much traction, because most older people (and apparently the subset of younger people who support Warren) are racist in a way that they don't see the problem with it. The angle I'm taking is to focus on the policy differences to make general point of "there's no reason to support her instead of him" (and maybe also the Cherokee stuff in the context of it being "a weakness against Trump").

the_steve posted:"Warren lying about her ethnicity for personal gain doesn't matter and didn't actually help her that much!" claims increasingly nervous liberals. One defense I've seen is 'There's no evidence that it helped her' as if that was the bar that needed to be cleared rather than 'there is concrete evidence that it made no difference or was even a negative'.

About the same a Bernie stan feels for being in the same camp as someone who wants to literally guillotine the upper middle class... I don't like... care much? Some rich dumbass spouting bullshit on a cable news network isn't why I'd vote for Warren, and it certainly isn't why I wouldn't.

A more substantial post would posit that billionaire heiresses in favor of warren suggests she’s not gonna do much to curb the power and wealth of billionaires It’s not a wholly unsupported viewpoint since warren has said she’d take money from billionaires and megacorps in the general

necrobobsledder posted:Maybe the boundary should be based upon “does Bernie think I’m too rich?” I think it's pretty unquestionable that Bernie's opinion of "what's too rich" is higher than this thread's. He seems to be a fan of this "1%" number. I know it's largely symbolic, and used because it's catchy and memorable, but it's a good starting place to suss out his views on the matter.
