2020 Democratic Primary Thread: Focus on House & Senate races

[the kid]

jeez, warren only went up 2% thought it'd be more tbh

Pete and amy are arguing for literally no reason. Minorities dont mess with either of them and they're at each other's throats. I dont see the point.

I think Warren gets to 16 or 17 percent at the caucus, but a lot of this is baked in just off the early voting.

Bloomberg Office Vandalized, Campaign Immediately Suggests Bernie Sanders Is To Blame

Michael Bloomberg’s campaign office in Knoxville, Tennessee, was vandalized Thursday evening with “fukk Bloomberg,” “oligarch,” “classist” and “authoritarian” spraypainted on its door.

Bloomberg campaign manager Kevin Sheekey issued a statement Friday saying the vandalism “echoes language from the Sanders campaign and its supporters,” but also saying that they don’t know who’s responsible for the action.




“We call on Bernie Sanders to immediately condemn these attacks and for his campaign to end the Trump-like rhetoric that is clearly encouraging his behaviors to engage in behavior that has no place in our politics,” Sheekey said.




The Knoxville Police Department told WVLT that the office was vandalized sometime between 6 p.m. on Thursday and 7 a.m. on Friday and that there’s an active investigation into the case.


There are no security cameras at the vandalized office and there are no suspects, WVLT reported. (RELATED: Bernie Sanders Loses It When Bloomberg Brings Up His Three Houses)



Bloomberg’s campaign office was vandalized just one day after Sanders was criticized during the Democratic debate Wednesday over the aggressive behavior of some of his online supporters. (RELATED: ‘Fat Broads And Horse-Faced Lesbians’: Warren Attacks Bloomberg Over Comments About Women)

“I’ve said many times before, we are all responsible for our supporters and we need to step up,” Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren said in reference to threatening emails sent by ostensibly Sanders supporters to leaders of the Culinary Workers Union. “That’s what leadership is all about.”

Sanders said he has millions of followers, 99.9% of whom are “decent human beings, are working people, are people who believe in justice, compassion and love.”

“And if there are a few people who make ugly remarks, who attack trade union leaders, I disown those people,” Sanders said. (RELATED: Bloomberg Allegedly Told An Employee To Abort Her Baby: ‘Kill It’)


The Sanders campaign did not immediately return a request for comment

They already let you know what the point is at the last debate.

Mods please rename this thread to "Reasons we should hate Warren" thread. For accuracy purposes. And guys keep up the good work with updated tweets from @NYforSanders. Thanks

I'm glad they're finally admitting they're Bernie Bros.

I think my work is done here.

10 facts about Americans and Twitter

1Around one-in-five U.S. adults (22%) say they use Twitter, according to a 2019 Pew Research Center survey. The share of Americans who use the platform has remained consistent over the past several years and is similar to the share who use Snapchat (24%) and WhatsApp (20%). But a much larger share of U.S. adults use YouTube (73%) and Facebook (69%).

5: Most U.S adult Twitter users don’t tweet very often. A large majority of tweets come from a small minority of users. The median Twitter user produces two tweets per month, according to a 2019 study. However, among the most prolific tweeters – defined as those in the top 10% in the number of tweets they send – the median user produces 138 tweets each month. And that group of highly prolific tweeters dominates discourse on the platform more broadly: 80% of all tweets from American adults come from the top 10% of tweeters.

Twitter really is insignificant. Deluding ourselves into thinking it matters had us believing Clinton had a 98% chance of winning and that the Republican Party was all but dead.

Trying to understand the opinions and motivations of hundreds of millions of people takes a lot more work than scanning that day's trending hashtags.

Regardless, people are making a lot of noise about it online.



Note: not everything I’m posting is an endorsement. Trying not to post shyt from random ass people with a thousand followers, but this is a surrogate.

I personally believe the best strategy for Liz is to just ignore her. It’s been working.

Online people aren't real people unless it's convenient to my argument.
