My favorite is people who won't even say their name and title when everyone is going around the room doing so. I've had two different situations where I was the new person and one guy in a room of 20 people was the only person to say, "Everyone here knows me" when I, in fact, did not. Both times I was correct in my immediate writing-off of that dude as a jackass.

A) fair, but B) finally, an upshot to my being functionally irrelevant in a group setting!

Dude lol

Youve got gold level ribbon dancing going on in your brain right now. Every single thing you’ve said has been refuted with a provable fact and then you just move it on back

Not sure what goalpoasts I've been moving-- my opening statement was about the tone of the response, I was corrected about whether health info has been released, and then I started talking about the response again. I know :decorum: is a running joke around here but if you're gonna capture the middle, I don't know what to tell you, it's gotta be at least faked.

Things I did not know when I had to scroll through 100 tweets about THE SMEAR CAMPAIGN: That the Bernie team had already released enough info to make some reasonable inferences about his health. Neat, this is useful information.

I like Bernie as a candidate fine, and it is clear there's a negative narrative about him-- which is why their PR team needs to not score own goals like this.

at some point in the next four months I am probably gonna do a real effort prank post saying Bernie died of a heart attack with fake tweets and fake cnn links and it all leads to a picture of goatse with Bernie's head peaking out from the distended anus and I am just telling you guys this now so the attentive thread readers will be prepared for when it happens

you can tell me i'm wrong about what you were feeling or whatever, but " Totally normal response to a request for something he said he'd release" implies that the documents haven't been released

It's been very interesting to see the shift in attitudes toward Sanders' campaign/ideals from 2016 and 2020. I'm very happy that he's pushed the discourse so far, and I'm looking forward to AOC's run

When I saw that tweet, I didn't know about what he had already released because of course it was the smear campaign snippet from that interview that got widely pushed rather than "we have already released enough for a reasonable person to draw inferences from"

I know now.

Everyone seemed very excited to be there and the lines were long. Definitely a lot of bernie fans, at least in my polling place. Several of them had Bernie shirts on so I didn't even need to talk to them to find out


that evil little fuckstick is a spurious lawsuit machine. I'd be happy to never, ever hear about him again

shamelessly positioning himself as the candidate no one can possibly believe in or want to follow but who will TOTALLY save you from the scary orange man.

They're forgetting that we learned our lesson from letting Hillary win. You can't vote like a pussy, basically. Vote for the future you want in a proactive manner. I believe people want more and are brave enough to vote that way

A close friend of mine worked in Howard Schultz's "campaign" and the way that idiot spent money gives me a pretty good idea of what Bloomberg would be doing.

I still think Schultz is dumber because he saw the landscape and was like "you know what this country needs? An independent centrist!"

I mean if anything I think your perspective is the better one to consider because its not like weaponized disinformation about health hurt Hillary at all

The thread seems more concerned with convincing themselves its not a problem than considering how it might be a problem for everyone else

what you're basically saying here is that "people like you" are complete dumbasses incapable of understanding nuance and who will be swayed by the first obviously biased news article you come across, like a young child eating a poisonous mushroom in the forest. I don't think that's the case, but it seems to be what you're arguing

you're also failing to realize that the biased articles would come regardless of the response, it's just the way of things and there's no response that would've changed that. this story will be gone in 6 hours, only to be recycled at some later time in the future, which Bernie and his campaign have no control over
