    Attacking Bernie for what a low-level staffer said on a private twitter account (and was already fired for!) is honestly pathetic af and just reeks of the kind of desperation that radiates from people who know that they can’t win fair and square. When you have to resort to these kinds of cheap attacks you know you’re a special kind of loser.

    Did you not see the poll of Wisconsin voters who said the contents of low level campaign staffer private tweets was their number one issue?? These Bernie bros are gonna lose this election for sure

    If this dude had been a Warren/Biden/Pete/Bloomberg staffer, there would have been no story whatsoever. It’s so transparent.

  12. In one tweet accompanying professional photographs of Queer Eye stylist and Warren surrogate Jonathan Van Ness, Mora said that the streaming personality was “trying to look hot while Daddy Ronald Reagan watches him die of AIDS.” Van Ness, who once made a joke about Reagan’s use of pomade on the show, is openly HIV positive.

    No job in the world you’re not getting fired for that kinda post if your alt gets out.

    I long for the days where I can mock women for their looks and call them “dumb okies” and make AIDS jokes about gay dudes and the left let’s me off for it because I “did it in private”.

    We went from “yeah okay so maybe a lot of people on twitter get vitriolic but they’re just nobodies on twitter” to “okay so an actual hired staffer was behaving the same way but it was in private and not to anyone’s face so it’s okay”.

    that’s not how you attract people to support your guy. And if Amy/Pete/Steyer/Bloomberg drop out after SC and Super Tuesday, a lot of people in this thread are gonna be wondering why Biden suddenly has a shot to finish closer to Bernie in delegates than is comfortable
     


  16. Yeah. I’m still on team shoulda kept it vague af.

    Are you comparing a high profile campaign manager worth several hundreds of thousands if not over a million dollars that worked for several prominent political campaigns including the current one that raises money from billionaires being accused of running a fake account for a day and being materially unharmed to a low level staffer losing their job and livelihood over private (and very bad) tweets that were never intended to be read publicly because some rich asshole whose parents bought them a 1.3 million dollar condo found them and wrote a concern troll story about it? Great comparison

    She didn't lose her job because the claims were bullshit

    This is a really bad hill to die on

    Look I’m not defending what they tweeted and other than the Chapo people posting purposely inflammatory tweets to stir the pot, I haven’t seen anyone else defend the tweets. The point is this shouldn’t even be a fucking story in the first place because it’s a lazy concern troll about a topic that’s long been blown out of proportion. The point is id rather stand in solidarity with Ben who was sacrificing a more stable life and job to help Bernie win Iowa and help in Michigan and doing more than probably most in this thread has ever done for a campaign and hope someone close to him calls them in than give some rich fuck the clicks and attention who is trying to fling whatever they can against the candidate who is gonna raise his and his parents taxes.

    I’m not dying on a hill, I’m saying it’s not a hill at all.
     
  24. Was curious, looked on Amazon, n95 surgical masks are already basically sold out or at insane prices. (I feel better knowing I have some in an emergency kit I built years ago.)

    People who engage in abusive behavior online aren't the type you should be standing in solidarity with. Supporting Bernie doesn't make attacking people okay
