Bernie Sanders Son Is Extremely Mad Online

[NCTraveler]

His enemies include the establishment, the city of Houston and Chobani yogurt.

Levi Sanders vs. The High School Reunion Establishment Elite

Levi Sanders vs. Conservative Women (The Stupid Ones)

Levi Sanders vs. Liz Warren Fans

Levi Sanders vs. Vegetarian Liars

Levi Sanders vs. Bacon

Levi Sanders vs. Disgusting Flesh

Levi Sanders vs. Yogurt Brand

Some of the topic lines are classic. As are some of his quotes.

Levi - "That is a really nice stance. I guess you are not a big fan of the first amendment. You don't have anything to counter what I have said. If you don't like America, get the heck out. I would encourage you to go to th Cayman Islands and live. You can take the wealth out of America and do it all legally."

Levi - "Elizabeth(Warren) has some serious problems. As someone who works in Cambridge and does legal work, I can tell you her work with corporate law firms is profoundly problematic. Also, she refused to explain why she worked for a law firm who was against giving compensation to victims in asbestos cases. She also is very chummy with Obama and while talking a good game, is not a strong advocate for the working class."

Levi - "You said dependable as the post office. That is not dependable at all, and the law is clear that if you don't get your mail, they are not liable."

Some of this stuff is really funny. It seems Levi is often on the right side of issues. It also appears he has an enormous ego, is not very bright, and is a bit unstable. One thing this article does outline(it doesn't outline much) is that Levi is extremely poor at putting his thoughts together and debating in any positive manner.

[Me.]

1. Go Away Levi, Just Go Away

[LexVegas]

2. ...

[MineralMan]

3. Really, he seems unsuited for elected office.

His name is not going to help him, I think.

[Orsino]

5. It's almost as though he's never run for office before.

And only got on the Internet recently.

[njhoneybadger]

4. It sounds like Bernie kind of

[csziggy]

12. Yes - where did Levi learn this stuff? nt

[bottomofthehill]

6. Levi, dont let the door hit ya

Where the Good lord split ya.

[OnDoutside]

7. Bacon. What's there not to love ????

[NCTraveler]

10. If you are Chobani.

You better not put that disgusting flesh on yogurt.

[OnDoutside]

16. I had to look Chobani up....Dear God no !!! I'll stick to my BBQ sauce or Bacon/Spuds/Butter mmmmmm

[TomCADem]

8. Levi Sanders Just Came Out in Support of Trumps Tarriffs

Interestingly, Bernie Sanders has issued a no comment on what was one of Bernie’s signature issues.

[R B Garr]

38. Thanks for highlighting his hypocrisy and odd silence

on this issue.

[FSogol]

9. LOL, What a butthead.

The tyranny of paying more at the door than the discount given to the privileged who RSVP before the deadline! The tyranny of paying $35 for a high school reunion night out! The tyranny of bacon!

[NCTraveler]

11. The class reunion part was funny.

I have had to converse with people like him in the past. No fun at all.

[FSogol]

17. Yup, people like him are people that have never served on a committee or tried to get people

organized to accomplish something. It is their way or else. He'd make a terrible public servant.

[NCTraveler]

18. People like him are a coalition of one.

They like to go at it alone, yelling at walls. It's necessary when you are great. The burden of being the smartest in every room ever entered.

[yardwork]

30. Unfortunately they do serve on committees.

I've served on boards and committees with people like this. They are nightmares. They argue with everybody and everything. They stonewall and derail and prevent consensus, then complain that consensus hasn't been reached so we can't do anything.

I know people like this who have driven programs into the ground, run community-based programs out of existence.

[FSogol]

33. True. n/t

[LisaM]

77. Oh, gawd, planning events and dealing with people like this....

I've worked on planning for many events, I was on a board for a refugee resettlement group for a while and each year we held a fundraising dinner and every year we almost got derailed by people who thought kids (kids who ate the dinner, not babes in arms) should get to come to the event for free. Every. Fricking. Year.

[vercetti2021]

13. What the hell did bacon do to him?

Let alone yogurt...

[NCTraveler]

14. The disgusting flesh should never be put on top of yogurt.

That is his take.

[vercetti2021]

15. Bacon on top of yogurt?

For some strange reason that sounds oddly satisfying.

[niyad]

59. it goes in order--baked potato, butter, yoghurt (if you are our of sour cream), crisp bacon crumbles

[Hekate]

92. Yum! (Add chives.)

What's not to love?

[niyad]

97. you are correct. must add chives!! andd maybe some pepper jack or cheddar!!

[John Fante]

80. British super chef Heston Blumenthal has

Bacon and egg ice cream on his menu. Even those who initially had misgivings about the combination found it nsanely delicious.

[yardwork]

19. Levi Sanders reminds me of some extremely self-righteous people I know

They are insufferable. They claim to be highly progressive, but they are such narcissistic bullying twits, they have no influence other than as impediments to any consensus. People like this prevent groups from getting anything done.

[LexVegas]

20. "They claim that to be highly progressive"...yet they seem to love guns.

[yardwork]

27. Inconsistency is a hallmark. It's all about them and what they believe at that moment.

They're narcissists.

[haele]

47. Egos in search of a celebrity cause...

They always have this great plan based on their understanding of the world that will make them heroes in reality as well as in their own minds.
But unfortunately for whatever problem they're attempting to fix "for everyone" as well as themselves, they still need everything else in the world as well as Reality itself to follow the script they've written and are directing.

My understanding after all the years is that Reality is whatever collection of overall needs or requirements that remain and still have a critical impact going forward - outside of the plans and existence one creates to get one's wishes and wants.

That's something most authoritarians or privileged folk don't seem to grok...they tend to think that reality is whatever they allow themselves to see, hear, or feel in whatever immediate environment in which they exist.

Haele

[yardwork]

81. So true. Reality is whatever they feel.

The book means whatever they feel it means, never mind what the author intended. Theirs is a highly self referential world.

[MrsCoffee]

21. He is not on the right side of issues. He sides with Dana Loesch and confederate flag worshippers.

He thinks criticisms of white privilege are ill-advised and attacks good Democrats and the party.

He is not fooling anyone.

[NCTraveler]

24. Absolutism dies absolutely. nt.

[NurseJackie]

74. Thank you for having the courage to say that!

[Brother Buzz]

22. Whatever it is, I'm against it

[R B Garr]

35. LOL, that is perfect framing for his follies.

[hlthe2b]

23. I have not and will not say anything bad about Bernie, but this guy? Umm, not a chip off the ole

block, IMO.

We can do better. (MUCH)

[smirkymonkey]

25. He sounds completely insane.

He should really quit before he is driven over the edge by this. It's clear he is not cut out for politics.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

26. While I agree with him on some points, I don't think he should be in politics

because he's wrapped wayyy too tight. An odd duck, that one. Interestingly, Bernie has not endorsed him. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/powerpost/wp/2018/02/27/bernie-sanderss-son-levi-runs-for-congress-in-new-hampshire/?utm_term=.f2e0df83610c

[oberliner]

28. Why are people attacking Democrats on Democratic Underground?

Seems counter to the mission.

[yardwork]

32. It's a primary. We're allowed to take sides in primaries.

[oberliner]

39. There is no mention of the primary opponent in this post

[NCTraveler]

45. There doesn't need to be. At all.

I like how you keep changing metrics.

[oberliner]

64. The post I responded to said: "We're allowed to take sides in a primary"

I did not see anything in this post that indicated as such. There was no mention of the primary or what other Democrats are running. It was just a post attacking this one particular Democrat.

[yardwork]

83. There are numerous Democrats running against Levi Sanders.

He's the most entertaining AND I really don't want him to win, so that's why I'm talking about him.

Why don't you start a thread about some of the other Democrats running in this primary?

[NurseJackie]

90. That's a reasonable suggestion.

Why don't you start a thread about some of the other Democrats running in this primary?

That's a reasonable suggestion.

[R B Garr]

34. Levi is attacking Democrats.

Why is Levi attacking Democrats??

[oberliner]

40. Because he is running in a Democratic primary?

[R B Garr]

44. So you want another one/way street...

only someone named Sanders gets to trash Democrats with such vapid nonsense. Uh, no. Those days are over.

[pandr32]

51. I certainly hope so

[oberliner]

66. Yeah, that's a fair point

I guess I just don't understand why there would be a whole OP dedicated to attacking someone who is a Democrat.

[R B Garr]

71. mmm, Yeah, I was wondering that same thing about Sanders

..why spend so much time attacking Democrats. Exactly...

[Cha]

73. Touche!

[LanternWaste]

58. I dig how you hold the same action to two different standards.

I dig how you hold the same action to two different standards. The rationalization following could be even more juicy.

[oberliner]

65. Thank you

I appreciate that very much!

[NCTraveler]

37. Doesn't seem counter to the mission during a primary.

Specially with a guy attacking Democrat after Democrat.

I also didn't say he was a Democrat. Is he?

If Mr. Privilege can go after EW I can criticize(attack) him.

You really want to silence criticism during a primary? That doesn't sound right.

Oberliner - 2/19/2018 - "There are legitimate areas of disagreement among Democrats. One of the good things about this message board is that we are a group of smart, informed, politically-minded folks who support the overall values of the Democratic party and work to see Democratic candidates succeed.

With that in mind, there are still areas of dispute and debate - among Democrats - and discussions on the topics ought to be encouraged, not discouraged, on a message board like this."

I think it will be ok.

[oberliner]

41. Right but this post doesn't talk about the primary or the opponent

It seems to just be bashing Levi Sanders, not boosting (or even mentioning) the Democrat he is running against.

[NCTraveler]

43. Is Levi entering a primary?

It literally has to include the word "primary"?



Hint.

https://www.democraticunderground.com/100210324464#post40

[oberliner]

67. He is

I am just saying that a post talking about why the other primary candidate would be better than Sanders would make more sense in that context as oppose to just an attack on one Democrat.

[Cha]

75. It seems to me, Levi is "bashing" himself

with his own words.

He has a big mouth about Democrats.. he's his own worst enemy.

[Hekate]

94. Beautiful portfolio, Cha. What a piece of work this guy is...

[Cha]

96. I know, huh?

Who'd a thunk it? Rofl

Hekate~ I finally looked of "Hekate".. NICE!

[NurseJackie]

98. Wow! I missed seeing this earlier... THANK YOU!

A lot of this sounds SO familiar to me. What does he gain from saying and posting things like that?

What's the end-game? Who's harmed and who benefits?

Call me suspicious, but I really don't like what I see.

Thanks for sharing these, Cha!

[Cha]

100. Levi sounds very

bitter about something. Not very smart, imo

Jackie

[NurseJackie]

99. Here's another... smearing Joy Reid.

Click the little blue bird icon (just below) to view this post ON TWITTER. Once there, you can see all the comments to that tweet.

The comments are priceless and right-on-target. I think they've got him figured out and they're seeing the same thing that I'm seeing.

[Cha]

101. OMG! See what I mean by my

previous post?! Bitter.

Link to tweet

Thank you for this, Jackie!

I'm adding it to my stack. smh.

Nice pic of Joy!

[lapucelle]

102. Damn that Ben and Jerry and their free ice cream.

What a pair of oxy morons.

?ops=scalefit_720_noupscale

[Cha]

104. Hahahahahaaaa!

I'm staying out of that one..

Mahalo, lapucelle!

[lapucelle]

105. Mahalo, Cha...

[QC]

68. He bears the Corruption of Blood! n/t

[msongs]

69. quoting words someone said. is that attacking? nt

[KPN]

78. Better question why isn't this titled Levi Sanders is

as opposed to leading with Bernie Danders? Total hit piece designed to divide or perhaps undermine.

[Hekate]

93. Is he a Democrat? I thought he was an Indy like his dad. Also, this is PRIMARY season, oberliner...

DUers who think Levi is out to lunch can throw verbal spitwads at him all they want.

What do YOU think of Levi's opinions, especially of Democrats like Chelsea Clinton? Chelsea offended him deeply by being photographed while engaged in some charity work. He posted something like: "Ugh, another Clinton. Why won't they go away?" (Note: Not an exact quote.)

ON EDIT, JUST SEE #75 ABOVE FOR LEVI'S ATTACKS ON DEMS. Why don't you tell us how you really feel, Oberliner?

[Gothmog]

29. The fact that Levi hates the City of Houston is sad but amusing

Why does Levi hate Houston?

[PatSeg]

31. He seems to be anti everything

I don't think politics is a good fit for him. I don't think there is a base for what he is preaching.

[yardwork]

36. He likes the NRA and Trump.

[PatSeg]

48. He is like a Frankenstein monster

A little bit of everything, but no coherent philosophy. Can't believe he is running as a Democrat.

[NurseJackie]

42. I don't think he has the temperament to hold elected office. I wonder...

... if his personality and unfiltered views are more appropriate for a podcast or Youtube channel.

I'm trying to find a word that describes him... it's not "hostile"... it's not "angry"... and "bitter" isn't the right word either (but it's along those lines). It just seems that EVERYTHING bugs him (even the smallest things) and that he's got an axe-to-grind or a score-to-settle.

These are my opinions and I'm not attacking anyone.

[Me.]

50. Resentful?

Entitled?

[NurseJackie]

56. Yeah... in that neighborhood.

I've met (and had to deal with) people like that in real life. I can't stand them, and except when required by my job duties, I'd do my best to avoid them.

[radius777]

88. Peevish

peev·ish
pēviSH
adjective
easily irritated, especially by unimportant things.

[NurseJackie]

89. I'd find it difficult to disagree with that...

... it's an adjective many people would agree with.

[Tipperary]

46. Yogurt?. WTH?

[ploppy]

49. Big blowy bloviater.

That's Levi.

[Tipperary]

52. Wow, I am amazed at his poor grammar and spelling skills.

He does not seem to be very bright.

[poboy2]

53. Being a Bernie fan...

I just have to say all this ranting of his son sounds insane.
Bernie is no way like this, and yet, this guy is off the hook.
NO COATAILS for you, Levi...and my question to Bernie...Where the fuck did your son pick up this crap?
You needed to set him straight, because if you condone or endorse this behavior, well, I have to turn my back on you.

Not your ideas or themes, but you and your son.

Damn, this hurts Bern..

[nolabear]

54. What IS it with the meltdowns lately?

Was there some kind of DNA bomb set to go off in men in politics and make them start to spin out? Have we checked out Russian involvement?

[NCTraveler]

55. It seems to becoming a problem all around us.

It seems like some people "close" to me have been melting down. Every corner we turn seems to have stress hiding around it.

[nolabear]

61. I fear you're right. There's a lot of it, and nowhere to run.

When the country itself seems to be falling apart it's hard to think you can find somewhere to rest.

[poboy2]

57. Nina Turner is a woman I used to like, before SHE went insane. -eom

[yardwork]

82. Yes, Russian involvement was mentioned in Mueller's recent indictments.

Evidence of Russsian involvement in attempting to create a schism among Democrats was mentioned in the indictments.

Russians fund websites and send bots to amplify efforts to demean electable Democrats, thus ensuring Republican victories.

[Blue_Tires]

60. BLUF: Levi is fucking nuts

at least I know why he was kept at arm's length away from the Bernie 2016 camp...

[niyad]

62. the lead paragraph:

Levi Sanders, Bernie Sanders’ 2016 campaign policy analyst and only biological child, is running for Congress in New Hampshire largely as an unknown. The senior Sanders is a notoriously private person, and for the most part, his son has stayed out of the public eye.

[workinclasszero]

63. What a nut

SMH

Go home Levi, you're drunk.

[petronius]

70. Well, he's (perhaps accidentally) correct about the guacamole-Greek yogurt-bacon thing

That's a crime against three great foods. Otherwise, yeah, he needs some social media coaching at the very least...

[NCTraveler]

72. Really is an interesting way to destroy an extremely healthy snack/meal.

There. My purist side just came out.

[KPN]

76. Agree -- but why not title this Levi Sanders

is .... Political hit piece.

[LisaM]

79. Actually, the piece is really just a humor piece and doesn't have much to do with politics...

other than the politics of vegetarianism.

I laughed till the tears came over the high-school reunion kerfuffle, picturing all of his classmates edging away from him anytime he approached.

[KPN]

87. Well, there's that too. But the hit is intended by some

I believe, including the author.

[snowybirdie]

84. For you older folks

He reminds me of Jimmy Carter's embarrassment of a brother, Billy. Poor Bernie

[NCTraveler]

86. Lol

I have a can of Billy Beer on the shelf next to me. A court lie years back I went to Plains to watch Carter speak and to check out his home-town.

[LisaM]

91. No, because Billy was the life of the party!

I don't think he'd be nickel and diming people over the class reunion.

[Scruffy1]

95. Billy eventually sobered up and was a nice guy.

[betsuni]

85. K&R

[Fla Dem]

103. "Some of this stuff is really funny. It seems Levi is often on the right side of issues."

I am assuming you mean on the "right side" versus the "left side", not right vs wrong?
