Official Bernie Sanders HQ: Not Me, Us!

so many parallels with bernie/corbyn. brexit focus is the dems retarded focus on russiagate/impeachment, borris is a clown like trump. corbyn is a decent person like bernie. a lot of labour said vote against corbyn. cant wait for the "lib dem" wing of the democrats to tell everyone not to vote for bernie when he gets the nom
The duopoly must be protected above all else.
If Bernie wins the nomination, Dem voters will vote for him. Bernie has high approval. The people who hate him are online, on cable news, and in DC/NYC.
Lucky for us we have no Brexit. Bernie is a Jew who has a tragic family history and will be more forceful if they pull amtisemitism BS and Trump is unpopular.
All the Dem candidates though have net negative favorables right now. Bernie is at like -3 but of course Trump is in double digits.
I do have this sinking feeling that all the swing states will be swept up by Trump again

man i just saw a headline on status coup saying bernie pulls his cenk endorsement, smh, this has to be the sjw part of the left. oh you made a joke as a 20 something year old in a blog post, sorry cant back you now. i dont fukk with this move by bernie, i know theres a larger picture and you shouldnt die on the hill of cenk but still, its typical bullshyt by that portion of the so called left
See, this is sad^^^. As cookie and crazy Marianne williamson. sounded, she was always on point saying our problems are a spiritual issue. Something is WRONG with us as a nation. me being a black man in america, I always knew that was the case because america was pretty much built on the backs of free slave labor. and since white folks do not for the most part want to aknowledge that very fact and therefore give up the reparations. we will continue down this path. its all linked to our foundation. our foundation was built on evil. therefore nothing truly good can be sustained here. We're always trying to hold on to the good parts. but they keep fading away because that evil is in the veins of our society. until we fix that original sin. we will continue down this path. you say but what about other minorities, why do they act so crazy towards black folks? or even each other "the latin thats been in america for a few gens thinking he/she is way better than the person thats fresh in with a green card. or black folks like you said above doing that same thing, being from a little higher class , having a few more pennies thinking they're better than the lower folks. that is stemmed from white racism and the system the elite whites setup. always have a buffer class. always have someone between the haves and have nots. to keep the pitchforks to a minimum when the people start realizing that their money is being stolen from them and most of it is going to the top. those elites need a buffer to keep us at bay. if they keep us fighting one another. we will never fight them as a complete unit of people.You hit it right on the head. I think the decrease in relative status guides this line of thinking. Since graduating from grad school I've had people in my circle randomly ask me about my student loans, every time it happens I still get theface. Because the question is never etched in empathy or sincere curiosity, but etched in insecurity and wanting to know where they stand in the social hierarchy. This is prevalent in places like NYC where there is a large Blue collar middle class that share spaces/communites with white collar middle class people. Not having student debt has become a source of pride for some to offset insecurities regarding disparities in income, status, mobility, and opportunity.
poor white italian, irish men were told by rich elite whites "you know you shouldnt be in a union with those blacks..you know you're better than them right? you're basically white like us elite."
buffer class of poorer white folks that they first clowned and called monkeys, are now there to protect the rich white elite from all black people.
light skin vs dark skin black folks, a handful of financially successful black folks they allow to be extra successful are there to make the rest of us think all we have to do is comply with what white people want us to be and you too will be as successful as jay Z, oprah, and bill cosby. until one of these people get out line. and they smack them back down.
light latins vs darker latins vs black/afro latins.
we can go on and on.
same song, same story.
the elite trying to keep us from joining forces and riding on them to make them treat us fairly. because that would mean they would have to GIVE UP actual power. not all of it. some of it. they dont want to give up ANY of it. which is why they will say stuff like, they would rather give to charities of their choice than to be taxed the same amounts for the good of other people. they want to KEEP control of ALL the power.
its a tough call. the tough call is this. If you were once racist, sexist, anything...ist. how do i know you have changed? what is the test or the tests to prove you have changed?
i dont know that answer. Cenyk gave good answers to all those old issues. but what can you say? when you know for a fact you're running for the US president of all people and you know they will spend millions talking about how you endorsed an ...ist . You can't win, because someone will call you a coward for folding as well. If the DNC wasnt so anti bernie, as well as the media. perhaps he could've gave and cenk the endorsement anyway and explained why he think Cenk has changed.

Disappointed in Bernie's camp for this bullshyt. I am SO FUKKING TIRED of playing the game on the terms of the opposition.
Wtf does Bernie gain by retracting the endorsement? If Cenk really did propose rejecting all endorsements and Bernie went along with it, are you not by default acknowledging that endorsements are ultimately meaningless? If so, why all the hand wringing over the WFP endorsement for Liz and the gushing over The Squad endorsements in October?
Pulling the endorsement only shows a lack of solidarity, fear, and indecisiveness. Show me who the Bernie supporters are who were calling for this move. It'll be like playing Where's Waldo.

Nah, I'm not buying that. You already got MSNBC letting Mimi Rocah talk about how Bernie is an anti-woman candidate months ago. The smears are gonna come regardless. You only legitimize them by pretending as though they have merit. This is the same bullshyt we criticize the press for with their constant whataboutisms and treating both sides equally. Bernie has been on the record praising Cenk and TYT, has done interviews with them in the past, etc. so why even bother. You think Bernie's haters are going to stop attacking him now all of a sudden?
bernie can take a completely FAKE smear. which that was. it had zero substance. what bernie cant take is real info on someone he supports currently. yes i know, the info is 20 years ago. doesnt matter to the people that will see those ads ran on bernie and talk about how bernie is a racist, sexist,........ look who he's hanging around with? look who he's endorsing. blah blah blah. that will have a real effect. no it aint right. but its real. at this point bernie has to win this thing. its bigger than cenk. and maybe if cenk loses, due to that old nonsense. maybe thats the punishment he deserved for those statements and ideas. sure he has apologized but we all know some things you do in the world have consequences and i dont think he has ever had to experience any negative or truly negative consequence from these things. sure people jumped him online about it, but that didnt stop his show from doing well. this will hurt if that keeps him from getting elected.
