The WFP endorsement thing doesn't rile me up. I mean isn't the idea just outdated?No one bases their vote on this stuff. It's weird how much stock is out into it.

Yea i didn't think it was a big deal either...The Bernie Bro thing is only relegated on Twitter...it's not a real life phenomenon.

Because it furthers the narrative that his campaign is dying and progessives are moving away from him. I talked about it before and I have to mention it again because I've been noticing too much smoke, get ready for other 'progessive' orgs to do the same. If you thought there was too much stock put into the WFP endorsement, just wait til the Sunrise movement and Justice Dems throw Bernie to the bushes.

Thankfully Bernie's team is pushing back

Pushing back like this is kind of stupid, strategically speaking. Bernie needs to be growing his base right now, and responding to every little perceived slight or injustice against the campaign is alienating and lends credence to the allegation that Bernie's base is conspiratorial and unnecessarily hostile. I think responding magnanimously, like Faiz did with the WFP endorsement, is the right move. Like, just take it on the chin and move on. Be the bigger person/campaign because Bernie is trying to build a big movement. Eyes on the prize. If the campaign is getting hung up on dumb twitter beef shyt, I can't imagine how dysfunctional his administration would be.

Did you read the last page of the news? The campaign had to denounce racism because of two fukking anonymous accounts

It's not stupid to respond to this bad faith bullshyt that only Bernie has to answer for and this Twitter shyt doesn't matter. No one's getting hung up on anything, Brie's responding to the racism she gets. It's a just a tweet. There's nothing empirical saying that responding to a tweet is not strategic. Bernie's base has already been labeled as hostile by Clinton people in 2016 so there's nothing that's gonna change it.

I'm not tripping over a group with less members than the DSA. They're promoting the ridiculous narrative that Bernie supporters are "White terror from the left" because paying members of the WFP asked to see the vote totals like last time and those random "white terror" accounts have now turned out to be people that aren't white. WFP is being unnecessarily hostile by finding anon accounts that can be anyone and say they support anyone and then getting 100 verified Twitter people to sign a letter getting his campaign to denounce it. Either WFP believes in and models transparency and democracy in its processes. Or it doesn’t.

I can find tons of tweets from other candidates psycho supporters but I'm not gonna trip and force a campaign to make a statement about it because they shouldn't have to answer for randos

MSNBC has been awful breh. Check this clip. They ran that NBC/WSJ for multiple segments two days ago saying Bernie is done but now it shows him gaining in a Fox poll and they make sure to let the viewers know Bernie's number is an outlier. Except it isn't and is in line with other national polling. Not like he just gained in a Univision poll as well
I think the premature obituaries of Bernie and all the early leaps to the 2 person race narrative are gonna have a backlash effect.

"Anyone who reads what I write -- and I hope that includes you, dear reader! -- knows that I think Harris is a top-tier candidate for the nomination because of her base of support in California, her profile as a black and biracial woman, her liberal voting record and her charisma. (Harry Enten and I have Harris at No. 1 on our most recent ranking of the 2020 field.)"
:mjlol: What's even more hilarious is they don't stop making predictions no matter how wrong they are. Humility is in short supply in MSM.

Okay, Bernie says it's THAT time. :mjgrin:



:whew:



This kinda reinforces @Skyfall previous post. I don't think he would be releasing the flutes this early in the game unless he and his campaign felt they had to get out ahead of the messaging following the events of this week.

Warren's followers will undoubtedly respond to this tweet to prorect that narrative now.

'Releasing the flutes' is a losing strategy, can we say he just put out the The General or Stillmatic freestyle?! :pachaha:
