It does make you wonder how much Bernie would've fallen behind any of the other candidates who he's not buddies with, but I digress...

no, I think this is good. I think he/the DNC have figured out that some of his supporters don't GAF what the DNC has to say to them, but by him saying "our movement" is directly threatened by the prospect of four more years of 45*, he can reach them. If some of his stans feel that he's just parroting the Democratic Party's messaging, they'll abandon and ignore him. By framing how this election is critical to what THEY are fighting for, he might reach them and move them. You're absolutely right. I'm just still so damn angry because - all of the things we've discussed ad nauseam before - but I need to get over it. Honestly this place is where I vent, I normally bite my tongue because I know it serves no one right now to point out all of Bernie's issues (including how he contributed to the current USPS crisis - did we discuss that yet?).

I reserve the right to change my mind about this after I've slept on it, but I think this is excellent surrogacy from Magic Grandpa. He's saying, "Hey look, he's not everything I dreamed of, but that's not what we're talking about here. Everything we ever dreamed of isn't a choice. So we absolutely have to support the people working to move us toward our ultimate goals. We can not fuck this up. Fucking vote for fucking BIden you imbeciles." That was a lot more concise than what he said. so weird how nobody has hired me as a speechwriter

I'm simply commentating.

I just dislike him so much that I get biased lol. i owe punker a debt of gratitude here because she helped me realize his supporters aren't all asshole entitled white boys

Ms Obama is so good. Heartfelt appeal to the baseline sense of human decency in the viewer.

Please tell me more so I can shout it far and wide to the Bros I know. I doubt it will convince anyone who loves him that he's not actually Magic Grandpa. But I will tag you in another thread and share - I don't want to derail things here.

Michelle Obama is probably the person who I would most humiliate myself in front of if I ever happened to bump into her.
I just love her so much.

this is what I think of as "The crescendo of appeal"
You tell the most enticing part of your message with the most engaging cadence and delivery.
I am not a speechwriter but I'm sure this has a real name.

But she's also like, "We will absolutely own you if you're a racist shitbag" That was my favorite. When she clarified “We go High” to point out we have to fight without going low, I got fired up.
