I don't know y'all well enough to know if you were berniebros all along or if you just like to watch absolute chaos either way this is some jubilance 

I like to see the world burn and I don’t have a high opinion of the Squad to begin with. I’m indifferent of Bernard.

[nudemacusers]

I admit, I don't get how this broke the political side of ERA. People make endorsements because these campaigns understand the power of certain endorsements. Do they think politicians were going to stay on the sidelines for the entire primary?

It broke poligaf er I mean poliera bcuz they’re bitter hilldawgs who find all men problematic but don’t seem to mind the Clinton legacy of sexual harassment and middle of the road politic-by-polling.

[benjipwns]

I'm more of a socialist than anything else. I just don't believe Bernie actually has what it takes to be President on an actual leadership level. Politics are not everything, and even if they were, I'm not interested in throwing my vote behind someone who's already one foot into the grave.

AOC the female POC of the DNC should never have endorsed the dude that encouraged her and facilitated her rise to congress, don't you get it!

[benjipwns]

My point is that the types of liberals that like AOC were probably already voting for Bernie.

*waves* Hi there. No, I'm voting for Warren.

If you got your political news from the imbeciles at poliera, you would think that bernie was days from ending his campaign and AOC would only ever endorse Warren

Of course, you would also be terribly misinformed about most things as well

[benjipwns]

I mean, of course not, because that wouldn't just be unexpected, that would signify the end of Bernie's campaign. Ayanna hasn't stated who she's going for yet though.

Yes, yes, our favorite member of The Squad!

*whispers* which state is she from again?

[benjipwns]

The easy guess is that AOC's ridiculously early endorsement is to try and stop the bleeding of Bernie losing supporters over his heart attack, rather than act as any serious attempt to move his numbers much.

It might also be that AOC is playing it safe for herself a little bit by appeasing to the more fevered sect of Bernie supporters by giving an endorsement at all, while planning ahead for an endorsement for Warren once Bernie's out of the primary next year

[benjipwns]

You know... if he campaigns with her, it'll be AOC feat. Bernie Sanders. It's risky

Lol I just saw the thread. Wow the political analysts at resetera seem to be handling it well 😂😂😂

I mean this is the poli thread, we deal in tactics most of the time. Fanboys don't understand it.

For those watching MSNBC.

Kamala is standing by her Twitter position, and DAMN she's spitting fire.

A serious candidate.

[benjipwns]

I think AOC is smarter and better at politics than me and everyone in this thread. She went from bartender to one of the most prominent politicians in one year. Gotta think she's got an instinct for this kind of thing.

[benjipwns]

AOC endorsing Sanders right when the heart attack was first announced would not be meh, even if her policies line up with his. It would've been a truly great show of support, and signal a belief in Sanders that he can overcome whatever ailments he has.

But AOC endorsing him on Saturday, and not just that, but leaks on Tuesday night saying she's expected to endorse? That's not big.

[benjipwns]

This is the sort of thing we'd actually have time for if the DNC grew a pair of gonads and limited the debate field.

yes, yes, and Bernard first since he's dead

While you Bernie bros are jubilant about this:

I'm not even on the dude's side but I find invoking MLK usually only happens when we're lecturing black people about something. It's just tiresome. Like I literslly only see MLK brought up for this reason. Lebron is not MLK and it's not like MLK himself was infallible. Quoting that tweet over and over is just disingenuous. Dude gets it wrong and now its "but what about the MLK tweet you posted!! Guess you aint shit!!" Yes, he has fucked up bad. Yes he deserves a lot of criticism. No, I personally dont find value in what you're doing, it comes off as obnoxious.

Its the type of thing that I as a black person just makes me not even wanna fucking interact with people on social issues.   

But it was Lebron the one that quoted MLK  . It was Lebron the one that has a cutscene in NBA2k crying for the children of all earth.  Is not lecturing anyone but asking for some fucking coherence you dumb fuck.

There is a nice parallel to see in Bernie’s heart attack being used as a cudgel by the ‘political analysts’ of progressive sky-is-falling-on-freedom resetera and Hillary spitting up massive balls of lung goo and passing out in the heat being used as a cudgel by the evil far right nazis.

he completely trashed Hillary and the party. If you don’t think that played a part in a trump presidency, I don’t know what to tell you.

.   This was more fun when everyone was dunking on lebron and not invoking Martin Luther King Jr. for the 4000th time.

You mean, Lebron, the one invoking MLK. Are you guys this stupid?  Do you guys like to pander black supremacist talking points because asking for coherence from asshole users like ‘faceless’ is to much?

[benjipwns]

I was really disappointed that the debates so far hasn't covered gerrymandering and redistricting, I don't know why it hasn't been brought up.

I didn't vote for Hillary because the Democratic Party sucks. I did not learn this from Bernie, who I DID NOT VOTE FOR, I VOTED FOR ROQUE "ROCKY" DE LA FUENTE in the 2016 Democratic primary!

Donald Trump barely won my state.

I can’t keep reading these threads 

[Tripon]

Well, no, I'm afraid you're being short-sighted here? I apologize if I'm being rude here.

AOC's endorsement will mainly only hold relevance to the progressive side of the Democratic candidates, and as you and others already stated, Sanders is the closest running candidate to where AOC is on the spectrum. AOC, as popular or unpopular as she may be, isn't going to make Biden or Kamala supporters suddenly ditch their favorites to start rooting for Bernie Sanders. Likewise if AOC had (somehow) opted to endorse Biden or Buttigieg or whoever, her endorsement likely wouldn't cause many progressive voters to ditch their support of Bernie or Warren for a more moderate candidate.

The context surrounding this endorsement (the time, circumstances, position in the running) absolutely has an impact on the varying weight of worth that AOC's endorsement to a candidate has. Her endorsing Bernie right now primarily impacts the competition between him and Warren, most likely to help stem the bleeding of voters he's been facing after his heart attack. Could it result in a major shift where Warren loses a big chunk of supporters? Possibly, but considering the other circumstances going on in the race right now and Warren's continued upward swing in the polls in early states, I personally doubt that will be the case.

In contrast, if AOC had opted to endorse Warren here and now over Bernie, that would have most likely resulted in a rapid acceleration of decline for Bernie by her essentially supporting a consolidation of progressive-leaning voters to the candidate who didn't just have a heart attack, who is currently winning polls in Iowa and who is now the frontrunner of the primary.

adam, right on time to gay it up from the "midwest"

[benjipwns]

Too many thoughts running through my head and I do not know where I stand on this.

A good chunk of People already write off AOC, Taleb and Omar. If Bernie loses , it’s fuel to further discredit them. Rightly or wrongly. I think their voices need to be in Congress. I would like to see them empowered. Not the opposite.

I can also see a reaction to this where this motivates the opposition and Trump voters, maybe even see newer ones go to the poll.

AOC endorsing Bernie is good politics for everyone involved. How does nobody see that? Warren can hold the actual left while avoiding the squad discussion, AOC won’t hurt Warren with her endorsement, and Bernie gets a lifeline and can transfer the goodwill when it’s time.
