neither of those won. how exactly was bernie going to help family farming? they're both terrible celebrity ads that don't say anything relatable.

political ad firms are horrible and must be destroyed. trump barely ran any ads in the general and won because hillary ran ads attacking him for months on end.

this is how you get money out of politics.

willie nelson was probably the premier advocate for small farmers in the 80s and 90s. he started Farm Aid. in 2006 (it was for his senate campaign in a rural state which he won massively, so it did win for him) it worked. people that ad was targeting, rural whites, would have known exactly what Willie's support meant, and it wasnt just that he was just a popular country musician.

as for how he would have helped family farms, well

Elizabeth Warren is cool and good, it seems like she's trying to maneuver to get herself and her people in control of the party, and imo people should be excited and supportive of that.

I really really want her for 2020.

yeah warrens comments are fine imo. let bernie be the firebrand for now

We already have a better alternative in the form of Elliot Smith. Warren shouldn't be thrown out with the bathwater, but being open to Dean right now is dumb. Dean is compromised.

maybe i interpreted it wrong but her statement came off dismissive as gently caress to Dean. Saying hes just "fine" is not a lot of openness.

In less than 24 hours, more than 250,000 people signed a petition agreeing with me that Keith Ellison should be the next Chair of the Democratic National Committee.

That sounds to me like people want a political revolution at the DNC and that they want the Democratic Party to move in a very different direction. They want a Democratic Party to stand up to the greed of Wall Street, the fossil fuel industry and corporate America, and represent the working people of our country and all those fighting for economic, social, racial and environmental justice.

Now more than ever, that is the Democratic Party we need. That is the kind of Democratic Party Keith will lead.

We like big goals. I think we will send an incredibly strong message to the Democratic Party if we can get more than 500,000 signatures supporting Keith Ellison to be the next Chair of the DNC when he formally announces his candidacy on Monday.

You've already added your name to say you support Keith. Thank you for building this incredible momentum so far. Can you please take the next step and ask your friends and family to also support Keith? Click here to share our petition.

You can read more about why I think Keith should be DNC Chair in my email from yesterday, which is included below.

In solidarity,

Bernie Sanders

250,000, good poo poo

While I agree with the sentiment, wondering aloud if Trump will keep his promises without ever addressing he backed a candidate that was literally for the things he's projecting on Trump and saying he still believes Hillary was the right choice strikes hollow to me.

I think he means that Hillary Clinton was the right choice on election day vs Donald Trump. He's not saying she was the right choice for the dems.

I know some people think Bernie is bending the knee but I see him as challenging Trump to uphold the populist part of his campaign promises and setting the Bernie wing of the party up to be an opposition party if he doesn't. He's not giving in, he's setting himself up to do good.

yeah he said on some public radio station the same day that he doesn't expect Trump to fulfill any of his promises to the working class. He's setting Trump up to fail so he can rub it in his nose for the next four years

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) would have beaten Donald Trump by a historic margin if he had been the Democratic nominee, according to a private pre-election poll provided to The Huffington Post.

The national survey of more than 1,600 registered voters, conducted by Gravis Marketing two days before the general election, found that Sanders would have received 56 percent of the vote while Trump would have won 44 percent.

personally I think the Communist!! stuff would not have been especially effective in this election, and he would have been a perfect foil to Trumps false populism, especially with the white rural midwesterners that decided this election, but refighting the primaries is dumb. The fact of the matter is the establishment dems were destroyed this election and the future of the democratic party is the Bernie progressive wing, for better or worse.

I have concerns that the establishment might not understand how over it is for them in the party. Like, I have very little doubt that a lot of dems would still vote for Hillary in the primaries if we Groundhog Day'ed this whole election. We're going to have to be a little rough with them.

schumer endorsing ellison seems like a very clear indication the worst of the establishment knows what happened
