I am so
so
SO
incredibly tired of all the constant Bernie dick-sucking Dems need to do to placate his voters. He ran a terrible campaign twice and lost twice. He did not increase youth voter turnout. He hasn't introduced any new ideas to the Dem party that hasn't been seen before. Tons of candidates have run close races before, but he's the one that needs to have a special shoutout!
Ugh.

Seriously. All his fucking fans acting like nobody has ever considered his ideas before he came along is infuriating. They act like he built the progressive movement in the USA. That's how you know it's their first rodeo, they don't even know that fucking Obama tried to get a public option passed back in 2008.
Why they latched onto him is beyond me. He's worthless as a politician and wholly incapable of building anything. He's hurt our movement more than they could possibly know.

The state police here in VT were still basically blindsided on impaired driving rules with THREE MONTHS of preparation. How Bernie doesn't see this I'll never understand.

I don’t even think he promised them UBI! That was a Yang idea that I think they even made fun of, until the pandemic made it attractive. Suddenly it was Bernie’s idea. Smh!

u/Cat_Marshal YangGang Apr 14 '20
This is correct, his surrogates kept trash talking it right up until he said it was necessary, then they trash talked every version of it except for his.

u/1stCum1stSevered Apr 15 '20
Bernie's not a UBI guy. He supports a Federal Job Guarantee (a much more flawed idea)

Don’t forget that he also promised them 3 unicorns and a pony!! If they can’t get their goddamn pony, there’ll be hell to pay for the DNC!!!

This doesn't get enough attention. He has a lot of good ideas, none of which are new.

I hate saying that I'm coming around to the Bernie appeasing.
If we anticipate that Republicans and Russians will have unprecedented cheating and disenfranchisement in the 2020 election, the reasoning is that we need everyone we can get. In some states where like Bernie got 30% of the vote the idea is that we could use that 30% on our side.
Of course in exchange for being able to win the election despite foreign/Republican interference, we weaken our platform and strengthen Bernie by appealing to his followers.
It totally sucks, but I can see why we're doing this strictly from a numbers standpoint. That said, I really want Biden to not follow up on anything post-election other than throwing a few bones their way.

Obama was a great president. Beautiful president. The best. Trust me. No one knows how great of a president he was than I do.
Edit: Almost forgot what it was like to have a president that can speak in full sentences.

Yea. The "elections matter" line too kinda reinforced that imo. Like "We wouldn't be in this mess if we voted more throughout the decade"

u/GogglesPisano Apr 14 '20
Obama's probably still salty about progressives staying home for the 2010 and 2014 midterms, and rightly so.

u/dragoniteftw33 KBJ Stan and Ukraine in 7 🇺🇦 Apr 14 '20
Like even if we lost seats in 2010 but kept the majority for 4 more years, we'd legit be seeing more climate change results, expanded DACA from an Executive Order to a federal law and other things. Even if we lose both chambers in 2014 we would have gotten a lot done already.
Also not voting gave Republican state legislatures the opportunity to draw maps and create voter ID laws

u/erythr0psia Apr 15 '20
There’s a difference between actual progressives, and people who are just play acting for cool points. Way too many people sit on the internet and act like armchair radicals, but can’t get off their Cheeto-stained assholes to go FUCKING VOTE.

I teared up as well. I was already touched looking at what real leadership looks like, but then he openly spoke about the propaganda machine on the right and just really addressed the issues we are facing as a country and in this election in a way that was surprisingly open and frank to me. Between this and the Bernie endorsement livestream, I'm getting some real hope for this party.

Remember when evereything was more or less stable and politics rather boring? Those were the days. When the biggest blunder a president made was using a selfi-stick or forgetting to salute a soldier.

He's always endorsed the public option. He had to take it out of obamacare so it would pass.

What a filthy neoliberal shill... he should have mindlessly doubled down on his belief, even if it prevented the ACA from passing. Then he could just have renamed a post office to make it all better and instantly become the MostPopularPoliticianInAmericatm !!!

I miss Obama so much. I’m not gonna lie, I’m a little annoyed that Bernie was even mentioned because I feel like some Berner out there will make a super cut of that part and make it sound like “SEE, OBAMA LOVES BERNIE! HE SECRETLY WANTED TO ENDORSE HIM! HE CAN STILL WIN!!!!1!!!!!”
Also, it made me sad towards the end when he had to remind everyone that voting is important. The fact that anyone even needs to be reminded of how much is at stake is just so disappointing. But, obviously people do need that reminder. It was like hearing my favorite teacher speak to a class that had a 65% fail rate on tests. He gave us his best effort, and apparently most of the country still did not study or learn anything. 😭

Side note, I was just reminded of the glaring difference between Trump and Obama. I'll be so mad in November if dumbfucks reelect Trump, my God.

Obama likely always wanted to endorse Biden. Party unity made him wait.

Obama allegedly tried to get Deval Patrick to run in 2017(he did but entered super late). He also apparently said "You don't have to do this Joe" but he ran anyways. My guess is that he became a quiet favorite after a while because of how weak the Dem field was afterwards. Nobody stood a chance of beating Bernie.

I miss President Obama showing us how real leaders conduct themselves. He was the greatest POTUS we’ve seen in several generations, and he continues to be a great man. Shame on those who continually seek to tear him down in the name of politics or progressivism.

By the looks if it we won't see it on the front page of poltics unless they sticky it.
Why would an incredibly popular president endorsing the nominee be big news. They have some common dream articles to upvote.
