Bernie has been seriously campaigning since February 19, 2019

My favorite thing about Sanders is how anyone criticizing him either has to contort his words and the context or just straight-up lie, meanwhile Buttigieg is smirking his way through a well-prepared statement on the shooting in his town and Biden's "aw shucks"ing his way through some brutal takedowns

Bernie's fan club is loving thin-skinned. Critiquing the content of a fundraising email is not an "attack on Bernie."

"Bernie's fan club is loving thin-skinned," I say as I critique a twitter post for using a word I don't like to accurately describe something.

I'm right there with you ytlaya, only reason I didn't respond was because there wasn't really anything to respond to, and others have summed it up pretty succinctly as a "I just like him/feel good about him" post, which, cool.

I don't mind as long as mayo pete stays where he is in polling, which is extremely likely

A little bit of that plus a little bit of "you're not motivated to try and paint every single thing he does and says in the worst possible light"

He's never come across to me as yelling :shrug:

"Don't worry guys, he's not raising his voice because he cares about things."

When you're trying to reach an audience to whom "caring about things" is gauche and to be avoided, yeah a different tack should be tried, especially if it can be related to idpol. Gotta speak their language

Well watch the rally that's happening downtown Saturday. BLM rally, following the death of a black man at the hands of SBPD, calling for the officer to be fired. I'll be there. I'll know most of the people there. Maybe I'll shoot some video for you.

Pete's arguably an 'accelerationist' candidate too. Jump forward two generations. Bernie great, but old.

sure, if you just ignore the meanings of words and use them to mean whatever the hell you want them to mean, then yeah you could argue that Pete's an accelerationist candidate

It takes a special kind of "anarchist" to think that a cop loving soldier who worked at loving McKinsey would be more "competent" than a people power style social democrat.

Don't forget having respect for someone's resume, and being impressed by re-structuring entire departments using crowdsourced decision making to decide metrics while favoring open-source, big-data informed, evidence-based best practices.

I think most of the thread seemed to lose interest in him after the first debate when he was asked "what is the greatest threat to America" and answered with a vague rant about TRUMP. His one job was to make a big deal about climate change, and he couldn't consistently stick to that on the debate stage. Overall, I feel that he hasn't done a very good job of pushing the other candidates on the issue or forcing coverage of it, which is a problem for an issue candidate who's running just to keep the issue in the spotlight.

This is exactly how i feel, especially the part where he said the greatest threat is Trump :rolleyes:

I actually emailed him the other day to let him know how let down i was by his candidacy. He could have basically been the Bernie of climate change if he'd taken every opportunity to hammer on the issue and tie it into every answer. He could have really had an influence on the election and gotten people talking seriously about what we need to do about it. Instead he just wasted everyone's loving time on dumb bullshit, probably because he's too friendly with the fossil fuel industry, and to really drive his climate change message home he'd need to name them as the enemy and a target for action.

So instead of a conversation in climate change, we get an "inslee is hot" article and he decides to start wearing glasses.
