So for those keeping score Bernie's released fairly detailed plans (Certain Warren heads would be losing their minds amping em) for:
- Criminal Justice Reform - Bernie Sanders’s criminal justice reform plan, explained
- Empowering the Labor Movement - Bernie Sanders’s ambitious plan to double union membership, explained
- Green New Deal - How Bernie Sanders would address climate change

And his M4A bill that some journalists tried to claim he'd altered is still perfectly in tact.
- Fact check: Did Bernie just backtrack on Medicare for All?

So if you care about reading policies and looking into the details, it's been a really good couple of weeks for Bernie. He's pushed out ambitious proposals that all give power to the electorate rather than the donors. I really feel like unbiased coverage of these bills would turn a lot of voters out; but they tried to twist the labor plan into an attack on his M4A bill...so I don't expect much fair coverage and they'll probably downplay the fact that he went deep on detail with a lot of this (which bothers me because the detailed policy thing is a valid reason to like Warren but Bernie doesn't get his due when he does the same).
The emphasis on executive/non-Congressional action in these plans is a fantastic development from Bernie :blessed:

Warren folks don't care about the actual plans. Let's be honest, nobody really has had the time to read every plan. They just like the "idea" that she "has a plan" for everything because it sounds like everyone else just has campaign speeches.

It's a really dishonest stance. Like who you like, but they should stop acting like they've read Warren's plans let alone Castro's.

But hey I'm just happy people are pretending to be policy wonks. It beats the biden "electability" crowd.

If he's assassinated the country will revolt. They know the only play they have is to make the establishment dems and repubs band together after he wins to keep him from doing anything and hope that they can silence the masses again.

They cannot. We are awake. And we demand our voices to be heard.
Y'all better get some guns. :ehh:

This past week has set up the inevitable Kamala vs Bernie back-and-forth at the September debate. Hope the team has counters ready because she's polling like shyt and only gonna get more desperate. Already picturing her weaponizing identity politics.

Bermie's father's entire family was killed in the Holocaust. Anyone attacking Mr. Sanders is a suspected antisemite.

Thanks for the strategy, Tariq. :troll:

He doesn't even need to hit back hard. Just has to stand tall, explain his positions, and thats it.

He's never run a negative campaign. That's why the wine moms have to complain about anonymous Twitter shyt. I have no doubt they've made hundreds of "Bernie Bro" alts.

Bernie Sanders’s Green New Deal, explained

I suspect that like M4A, this will be attacked by pointing at the cost and ignoring the existing costs if we don't change course. That said, this is the type of ambitious that actually acknowledges the warnings from climate scientists and we need that. I think this is a great look, but we'll see how hard everyone else tries to attack it.
That decides it. Bernie has pulled ahead of Warren for me

Her campaign treasurer worked for Center For American Progress the largest "liberal" think tank. media wonks/dem leadership are cool with CAP so it's part of why her narrative is so strong

It's annoying that some liberals think the more complicated and wordy a policy is the more detailed and realistic it is. If Liz's plan isn't as simple as Bern's, that means she's thought about it harder than he has. How many of her plans are accompanied by means testing of some kind. Universal programs >

If y’all really think turning Liz Warren into an enemy of of progress is the approach that will win Bernie the White House and actually enact his policies, god bless ya.

I find it quite ironic that the man’s campaign slogan is literally “Not Me, Us” but apparently anyone who is not Bernie is unacceptable.

Stop conflating the campaign with people on Twitter. :ufdup:
