After that, Republicans will rip the bark off him. When they’re done, you will not recognize the aging, mouth-frothing, business-destroying commie from Ben and Jerry’s dystopian dairy.

I really get angry when I think about the kind of loving rear end in a top hat you'd have to be to see how much people very obviously want Bernie for the dem nominee, and then going to these kind of great lengths to prevent it to put in the candidate they very obviously don't want. gently caress the DNC forever for this poo poo, we need a new party so badly

Not a single Bernie oppo dump has lasted more than a day or so. Oddly enough I think the Joe Rogan broohaha actually lasted the longest. Maybe 3 days or so? Bernie is immune to all this poo poo. I honestly don’t know, if one of the other campaigns was paying me a bunch of money to help them win, what I would actually tell them to do.

For all those situations the correct response is the same: Work as hard as we can to get Bernie elected, and make sure the DNC knows if they screw him there won't be a Democratic Party in 2024.

Mahoning posted:Not a single Bernie oppo dump has lasted more than a day or so. Warren had a pretty clear path to victory. It was to steal Bernie's ideas, write some position papers, and push the idea that she has a plan to pass stuff, implicitly suggesting that Bernie doesn't. It would have worked but she decided to hire some Clinton people and they convinced her the left was locked in and it was time to triangulate. And she collapsed. I'm just glad she was dumb enough to start on it as early as she did. I guess my advice to any of the campaigns would be to go back in time to January 2019 and actually promise that you'll do the things people want instead of tut-tutting and insisting that people who want to not die in the street need to be a little more realistic.

Yeah I know what I'd tell Republicans to do to but if a Dem hired me to take down Bernie I legit have no idea how they could possibly make it happen. I think the only chance any candidate could have had is to become the one the media clearly doesn't want to win before they all ran Sanders hit pieces, because the public reception to obvious media bias has become crystal clear after both Trump and now Bernie have become their targets. It's too late for that now though, I think Bernie just wins now.

Nothing could be done now sure but if we get to rewind by a year then the answer is "be at least as far to the left as Bernie is, don't cave those positions, and if you're not an old white guy that will help you a lot." There was absolutely a lane for Warren to be "Bernie, but younger and a woman" and she could have had a legitimate path. Instead she decided to veer to the center to try and compete with Biden and Butt, which left Bernie as the only viable candidate for the left to rally around, and guess what that's what they did.

It's too late for that now though, I think Bernie just wins now. Bloomberg is their last ditch effort really. He's in it not to necessarily split votes away from Biden, but to keep as many undecided votes as possible away from Bernie. All these later states are 26% Biden, 25% Sanders, a bunch of single digits, and then 40% undecided. His fear is that by the time we get to the later states it will be just Biden and Sanders left and undecideds will have to choose. A big majority of them will probably choose Sanders because Biden is just unexciting and dumb. His mission is to get as many of these undecided to himself as possible which leads to two scenarios he's ok with: a) Brokered convention and DNC makes sure Bloomberg is picked b) Brokered convention where Bloomberg plays kingmaker and makes sure Biden is picked. Biden then owes big-time to Bloomberg and makes sure his taxes stay at 0% and his companies get crazy benefits from the gov't. As to why he waited so long to enter? At the beginning of the primary there were a LOT of hotshot centrists that were supposed to get a lot of support (Beto, Harris, Klob) so he felt no need to get involved. As they all epically failed and Biden demonstrated that he's super shaky, Bloomberg was pushed to get in and use his billions to make sure the election goes how it was supposed to.

Grouchio posted:I have more info from r/politics on that politico article: This could be a toe in the water. They wanted to see the public's reaction as to what would happen if they did this, so they leaked something to politico to stir the pot. First, they suggest the idea to gauge a reaction. Then, the media networks talk about it for days, normalizing the end of our democracy. After making it palatable through exposure, someone popular but seemingly impartial, like Obama, comes out and says he's wondering if changing the rules in the middle of an election would protect America, Jesus, and 9/11. Then Perez pitches it. At this point, if CNN and MSNBC have done their job, it seems reasonable, and soon our delusion of a democracy is over. However, the test must have failed. The retraction was immediate. I spoke to my boomer dad, and the thought just made him sad. He didn't even want to consider the possibility that the democrats could ever do something so terrible. People like me might leave the party entirely, and people like my dad would be so horrified they'd stop voting. People both ITT and otherwise have said it here, but the establishment just discovered that if they stole the nomination again it would end the party. Does that mean it is us, the voters who have power? And do we have this power by refusing to exercise it? Edit: I am severely intoxicated, so this may be nonsense.
