Did Fright kill Ana's cat or something? What'd I miss?!

 

fright said nice things about bernie, betraying his previous hillary support

 

Personally I love my switch way too much to be perpetually stuck one year away from its glorious release.

I think you mean the opposite of this. @SaysWho? is being quite calm while Ana is jumping down his throat because he really hates Bernie I guess. 🤷‍♀️

 

EDIT: Nevermind. I read the opposite. :doh:

Bloomberg quietly plotting brokered convention strategy

Quote

The effort, largely executed by Bloomberg’s senior state-level advisers in recent weeks, attempts to prime Bloomberg for a second-ballot contest at the Democratic National Convention in July by poaching supporters of Joe Biden and other moderate Democrats, according to two Democratic strategists familiar with the talks and unaffiliated with Bloomberg.

Bring on '68 Redux!

Anyone thinking anyone other than Bloomberg is getting the nomination out of a brokered convention is deluding themselves.

 

If Bernie keeps winning, many voters will keep coming to his side, as despite what the Washington elites/media says, he is very well liked among the rank and file, and I think after super Tuesday people will want to avoid a brokered convention. But he has to keep winning.

Looking at the situation from the establishment side of the Democratic party, It's far better for them at this point that they don't try to block Bernie getting the nomination, even if he only gets a plurality during the first ballot. If they try to give the nomination to someone else during the second, we will never hear the end of it, and it will only strengthen the democratic socialist wing of the party. 

 

In the case that Bernie loses in the general, it shows that all the noise being made about energizing the base didn't pan out, and we will be stuck with another 4 years of Donald Trump since Bernie failed in the general. If Bernie wins, it will show some of his supporters that actually believe he will get his policies enacted that the Senate will block most of his agenda, and he will either have to compromise just as any other Democrat would or will get absolutely nothing done, slowing the growth of this movement.

I can't wait until a single "moderate" Democratic in the Senate manages to block some big M4A bill.

Hassan and Chapo literally streamed their canvassing on Twitch, so apparently that ain’t a good NDA. 

 

It's for the volunteers running the caucus for the NSDP.

The term length might be weird but it doesn't look like a broad scope. I hope this board doesn't leap to conclusions just because they heard a scary buzzword.

Twitter is suspending 70 pro-Bloomberg accounts, citing ‘platform manipulation’ (LA Times)

Quote

Michael R. Bloomberg’s presidential campaign has been experimenting with novel tactics to cultivate an online following, or at least the appearance of one.

 

But one of these strategies — deploying a large number of Twitter accounts to push out identical messages — has backfired. On Friday, Twitter began suspending 70 accounts posting pro-Bloomberg content in a pattern that violates company rules.

Yeah, I’ve never heard a single person irl say they dislike Bernie. Even when I talk to a republican they respect how consistent he has been lol. I am in Cali though.
