Why is there so many Bernie Sanders Supporters on Youtube

[thoughtomator]

Bernie Sanders voters should be top targets for Rand in the event of a matchup with HRC. 2 out of 3 of them will be persuadable, and HRC can't afford to lose those votes.

Sanders is a fraud. I post this far and wide. In what might have otherwise been his greatest legislative moment on behalf of the working class, he instead chose to completely screw the 99% on behalf of his banker overlords with his watered down audit the Fed amendment in May, 2011. This is a completely telling and defining moment. Sanders should be laughed out of every event that is staged for him.

He is a fake "anti Establishment" candidate, stealing votes from Rand.

Just like Elizabeth Warren ?

 

[acptulsa]

He is a fake "anti Establishment" candidate, stealing votes from Rand...

...specifically by keeping the many antiwar Democrats from switching registration (where necessary) at primary time and helping us win the GOP nomination.

And if you and anaconda were wrong about him being a fake 'anti-establishment' choice, then he'd be getting as little attention from the media as Martin O'Malley. He is not.

After Ron Paul had worked with Sanders for months...

Yep.

He wasn't making a straight up comparison, he was essentially saying that Ron was able to inspire and get a lot of youth vote when he ran even though the age difference of the candidate and the supporters was wide. Maher remarked that he is seeing something similar happening with Sanders in terms of rally numbers growing beyond capacity of the event locations and the ages of the supporters Sanders is attracting.

I watched the interview, Sander's main key talking points was on global warming and free education/health care for all. He railed against the 1% and called for a redistribution of wealth, and used those words specifically. He said he was against TPP because of the loss of jobs of previous trade agreements like NAFTA/CAFTA and says the Saudis should deal with ISIS instead of us getting involved. He blamed the wars of Iraq and Afghanistan on the Republicans ignoring the fact that the Dems were right there voting for the wars as well. Talks about how those wars were not paid for and added to the debt, but again not being specific as to how his own programs he proposes will be paid for. He might have also said something about ponies I'm not sure.

OMG! If he gets the Brownie vote, we are sunk

Consider just reading the comment posters names. I think you find there are a lot less of them than you think.

What's probably happening is how we did it. Someone sees an article or a new tube or Ron/Rand is on some news program captures it and puts it on youtube and someone sees it and runs back here and says go comment n this one.

OTOH: there are TV ads out here that basically say: Let us build your business a FREE Facebook site! If you like it, we will maintain it for a low monthly free, including posting good comments on your page and driving traffic to it.... Jus saying...

Lets get the elephant in the room out of the way, Bernie is the most anti-war candidate running for any party, and I'm sure the age demographic of individuals who comment on youtube is such that being anti-war weighs high on their political decision making process. I'd think it is also true that the same demographic also favors leftist economic policies.

SC being number 3 is going to shape every GOP candidates platform.

It really depends, are they vying for the SC vote, or the vote of youtube commentors, or even just being themselves. The combination of anti-war and socialist policies make Bernie a little tougher to dethrone from the social media darling, even Ron may not have had as much a presence had the left had an anti-war candidate in their primary.

 

[acptulsa]

Sanders is in this race for one reason and one reason only: If the serious anti-war vote were to coalesce, it could win the GOP primaries for Rand Paul. Sanders is there to split the serious anti-war vote between the two parties' primaries, period.

It was almost to the point where the complete lack of an anti-war Democrat was going to make a lot of Blue Republicans. But now Democrats have their very own peacenik loser, so they can vote for peace and lose without ever having having to do something as distasteful as associate with those leftover Dubya voters they love to hate. And, yes, they are just shallow enough to consider voting for a different candidate in the same primary as 'associating with'. And just stupid enough not to see it as 'defeating those zombies once and for all'.

And they will not feel guilty about the thousands of brown babies who will then die in Hillary's next war, even though they really could have prevented it.

And no, lurking progs, this is not just as sound an argument for us supporting that clown Sanders. Only so many of us peace lovers will vote in the primaries, and the GOP vote is far, far more fractured than the Democratic Party vote. We can put Rand Paul over the top, working together. Sanders couldn't beat Clinton with a ten foot pole.

Don't forget the paid astroturf armies and bots that infest all comment sections, forums and social media. I don't have a link handy but, for example, studies have already shown that well over half Hillary's and Jeb's Twitter followers are "fake" accounts.

That's not to say that socialism isn't becoming somewhat popular amongst the disenfranchised young people and there are plenty that like Sanders (different ideologies, yes, but same principle as Gravel and Ron's early support). I don't think his support is nearly as strong as it's being represented though.

This seems ripe for parody: Any good musicians out there?



Obviously the YouTube should feature opposition logo's and any cartoons on the subject that can be found.

I started to hack into it. My changes in bold.

One type of song that has come into increasing prominence in recent months is the folk-song of protest. You have to admire people who sing these songs. It takes a certain amount of courage to get up in a coffee-house or a college auditorium and come out in favor of the things that everybody else in the audience is against like peace and justice and brotherhood and so on. The nicest thing about a protest song is that it makes you feel so good. I have a song here which I realise should be accompanied on a folk instrument in which category the piano does not alas qualify so imagine if you will that I am playing an 88 string guitar.

We are the AstroTurf Army.
Every keystroke we make lies.
We all love poverty, war, and injustice,
Just so long as it pays.

There are innocuous folk songs.
Yeah, but we regard 'em with scorn.
The folks who work here have no social conscience.
Why they only care if the check bounces.

If you feel dissatisfaction,
Strum your frustrations away.
Some people may prefer action,
But give me a folk song any old day.

The tune don't have to be clever,
And it don't matter if you put a coupla extra syllables into a line.
It sounds more ethnic if it ain't good English,
And it don't even gotta rhyme--excuse me--rhyne.

Remember the war against Franco?
That's the kind where each of us belongs.
Though he may have won all the battles,
We had all the good songs.

So join in the AstroTurf Army,
Keyboards are the weapons we bring
To the fight for crony capitalism, poverty, war, and injustice.
Ready! Aim! Type! - KA-CHING

Just like Elizabeth Warren ?

She may actually be an even bigger phony than Sanders. Tough call.

But you can't link to anything that would back your claim..

 

[ChiefJustice]

Is it just me or is they're already so many Sanders supporters on Youtube, Especially Comments. Will it effect Rand Paul in the Election or is it too early. Hope Rand Paul wins the election!

What do you think on this?

It is because unlike most every candidate announced, Bernie Sanders is authentic and genuine. That draws people to him.

To be genuine, a Senator would not only have to give lip service to an audit of the Federal Reserve, but follow through.

Authentic is a word that could be used to describe a con man. Genuine is not. Voting records are useful for separating the genuine from the false. And Sanders' record does not do that.

 

[anaconda]

Lets get the elephant in the room out of the way, Bernie is the most anti-war candidate running for any party

Bernie Sanders is a "left cover" asset who is clearly run by the establishment, as evidenced by his protection of the Federal Reserve in May, 2011. If his handlers or the puppet masters tell him to go to war, he will do it in a heartbeat with the most "anguished" of resurrected poser left talking points. The candidate who would ACTUALLY be the least likely to lead the U.S. into war is Rand Paul by a wide margin.

 

[CarPi]

I encountered a lot of them. From 1st lieutenant to 2 star so far. The most common one is captains. And no, dont tell me to go report them. Because you know ,it will get ignored as usual. This is the way blackshot appreciate the helpful community, by ignoring our reports. So if you dont give a damn,why should I? Hypocrites every where.
