well, I guess I believe them

 

we're getting to the point where the Labour antisemites are actually causing a problem and turning people off too smfh

 

Bernie gets it. He addresses the union's concerns and how he thinks they don't actually hold merit, while still remaining respectful of the union's decision.

 

So anyway I would definitely take $6000 from Bloomberg, donate $2700 to Bernie and pocket the rest

 

Andrew Yang give us his money

 

dude you’re in denial at this point

 

no evidence of any phone number post on the chapo reddit, anyone asking for evidence gets pointed to a screenshot of someone criticizing someone's dad. "bernie bros were mean to me" confirms your priors so is obviously true, so asking for evidence is in itself being mean and therefore confirming the premise. i reject it

 

well I didn’t just mean this specific thing which you’re definitely in denial about as well, I’m talking about the behavior as a whole. There’s way too many people complaining about his online followers at this point to just wave it off as a non-issue. The campaign shouldn’t have to waste time apologizing and telling people to stfu and chill.

 

Field Organizer <-- let's all apply

 

Wait, so the two women saying it happened ... are ... lying? That's really the path you're going with?

They literally said it happened, on the record.

 

Hey check it out

 

(BTW, if any other candidate said this first part, I already know what the response would be.)

 

What's new about this? We knew this already.

 

democrat my ass lol

 

What are you talking about? People were called conspiracy theorists for thinking the DNC had anything to do with the app.

 

We knew virtually right away the DNC was involved in overseeing the (hilariously inept) "security" of the app. I was mocking it the night of and even more after seeing the app's source code.

Before it was ever used we knew they had done this, here's January 23rd:

The Democratic National Committee has also reviewed the app and the caucus security plans, and said it confident that the Iowa Democratic Party was taking "the security of their caucuses extremely seriously from all perspectives,” David Bergstein, a DNC spokesperson, said in a statement.

What the conspiracy to make themselves look inept to the word? lol it worked.

 

@Jason Tate

 

I've been saying it for years! Haha. I feel seen. Watching my 'friends' mock anyone trying to talk about climate change throughout college with South Park 'jokes' is where I first formed the theory and I feel like it's been completely borne out over the past decade.

 

poll the state you cowards!

 

Gonna be harder for me to accurately predict the top 5 in NV like I did in NH without any polls!

 

I for one am shocked

 

Mayor Pete can get South Bent

 

As a broad pattern of behavior it is literally completely disingenuous and made up, we all know it is a rework of a failed Hillary attack from 2008. like with Corbyn, no change in behavior from anyone at any level would ever stop the accusations. this is what they said about institutional Labour antisemitism and Labour accepted the premise and lost badly

The specific claim that was made about a phone number being posted on reddit is not supported. I am sure there have been a small number of threats and maybe even some "doxxing" (no evidence of this though) but it's pretty telling that the "hundreds" number is not describing objectively serious and bad things like death threats but the entire broad category of "attacks" which includes "mentions" (which btw are public and should be easy to find if they are so numerous but literally the only evidence offered so far is criticizing someone's dad). I'm sure a huge amount of the "attacks" were pigpoopballs.jpg or something even more innocuous especially considering the source is leadership of a union which has had bad blood with the Sanders campaign for years
