Can't stop laughing. Have a glorious day, FiveThirtyEight. If you can't help your disgust, you can't help your disgust. This is epic.

"Bernie Sanders is a famous, successful loser."

#NoOxygenForHate fivethirtyeight.com/features/berni…
And, true to form for these pieces for each candidate, a ton of stuff about his strengths, along with real potential weaknesses. But Malone can't help herself. Starts with "loser," ends with "Bernie Bros" while misstating how he apologized for sexual harassment on 2016 campaign.
(CNN gets it right in their more evenhanded, if still somewhat skeptical, article. Sanders gathered the women and men affected from the campaign and gave a "conciliatory" "honest apology".) cnn.com/2019/02/19/pol…

Nate Silver remains the most sophisticated of the 8% of Democrats who have a very unfavorable dislike/hatred of Sanders. Watch what he is doing here. He's conceding lots to appear rational, but then he goes with a flat out falsehood. Bernie has don *a ton* to build coalitions.
Not only has he done a ton to build coalitions, but it shows in his numbers. He's 1st or 2nd in polling w/People of Color of a wide variety & overall (Biden #1 w/African Americans & overall, Sanders #2 for those & #1 w/ Latin Americans, tied for #1 w/ "other" per Morning Consult.
And this isn't a cherry-picked poll. It's based on five weeks of data in January and February, including more than 2000 POC respondents. Sanders coalition building goes well beyond improvements with POC, however ...

Remember when Sanders was down in the polls in 2015 to Clinton and it was attributable to ... ... ... name recognition. Oh wait!
At this point, Sanders name recognition was under 50% (Gallup), but somehow Nate Cohn and Nate Silver, on *the same exact day* 7 months before the first primary, described this as a he can't win with people of color problem.
Then, when Nevada rolled around and caucus entrance/exit polling showed Sanders winning with Latino voters (confirmed as likely legit by the best Latino pollster in the US), Cohn and Silver went ballistic in arguing with the exit polling.

Hey just a quick public service announcement.

Making the 2020 comversation about the online behavior of a candidates supporters mostly serves to move the conversation about bigger issues like policy and fitness for office.

#BERNIE THREAD /1
At the risk of sounding condescending I feel like there are 4 things we should ask in this primary.

1. What are your policies ?

2. Are you proposing them in good faith?

3. Will you be effective in implimenting them?

4. are you fit for office?

This needs unpacking...

.../2
So the hardest questions are 2-4.

Whether a politician is seen as operating in good faith is often tied to whether we think a politician is "authentic."

This shit is huuuuuuugely sexist and priveledges men over women.

Here's Julie Kelly's take on "The Boy Who Cried Wolf"...

"Adam Schiff was Jussie Smollett before Jussie Smollett arrived on the scene."

@julie_kelly2 via @theamgreatness

Full text of the article:

"He helped conceive a hoax so outlandish that only the most gullible, craven, or witless person could believe it.

.
The attack, as he called it, allegedly was executed by mysterious and politically motivated thugs with the intent to inflict harm.
It exploited the political climate of the moment given that the chief goal of the ruse—and of the perpetrator himself—was to sow division in an already-fractured American populace for his own gratification.

When campaign strategist Giulianna Di Lauro told Bernie staffer Bill Velazquez she had been sexually harassed by a Sanders surrogate, Velazquez responded by laughing and telling her, "I bet you would have liked it if he were younger."
cnbc.com/amp/2019/01/02…
And Bernie Sanders, the guy who wants gender equality, free stuff for all and considers climate change analogous to war, also had a female staffer get paid half of a guy reporting to her.
Bernie is more beta than Beto.
Bernie says he didn't know nothing because you see ummm.... He was busy running around.
What do you expect he's going to say? That he knew?

I have a few things to say about this piece that just dropped...

Why the #Bernie Movement Must Crush #BetoORourke
nymag.com/intelligencer/…
The insistence by white male writers that there is a two-white-man race out there between Bernie & Beto is so deeply, stunningly misogynist, it takes my breath away.

How is it POSSIBLE that these folks missed the blue wave which was fundamentally female--driven by women voters?
Not just driven by women voters, but driven by women candidates. Left-leaning women candidates, including WOC who ousted long-time older white male incumbents like....Bernie Sanders.

How is anyone missing this fact?
It's a major reason why Sanders' numbers have plummeted.

Which we have been screaming since 2016.

I did an entire thread to the Manafort - Devine connection.

It was recently revealed that Devine was sharing polling data with Manafort during the primary. They are all in this together & the media ignores it purposely.
@MaddowBlog why?
1/ After it was revealed on @maddow that Manafort/Russia was working as far back as 2012 to smear Hillary Clinton it made more sense.

Think about this. Who was going to primary against Pres Obama in 2012? Bernie Sanders
2/ Why didn't #Sanders follow through? My opinion based on the timeline of events & the extensive research I have done on #TadDevine, is that Sanders was told to hold off until 2016 by Devine. We know that Devine was working with #Manafort on the Ukraine election during this time

allow me to explain:

first thing to realize is that compromise usually involved splitting the difference (e.g. arbitration -- if you've ever been privy, you know exactly what i mean).

next you need to understate that starting positions matter
now we come to the republicans..

they know to start out WAY to the right of anything sane

democrats, being slightly more reasonable tend to open with somthing they thing will win the other side over to their POV.

... it ... will ... not ....

so this happens.
after a few years of this (say since 1980) you end up with both parties being FAR to the right of anything that a rational person would consider CENTER

enter #bernie sanders and his populist, moderate policy positions like #medicareforall or raising the minimum wage
