Interesting tweet from Ragnarok Lobster ‏(I think most of us here know who he is): [View all] George II Aug 2018 OP

Bernie stealing thunder? Cracklin Charlie Aug 2018 #1

Not at all. Nope. Bernie, who votes with Dems more than registered Dems do, supports our party ancianita Aug 2018 #20

Exactly! mountain grammy Aug 2018 #28

Are you suggesting that Gwen Graham didn't support our "party values"? brooklynite Aug 2018 #31

Are you suggesting that I'm suggesting that? What do you think. Be honest. ancianita Aug 2018 #32

You're applying "Party Values" as a motive for Sanders involving himself in a Party Primary... brooklynite Aug 2018 #33

Bernie says he caucuses with the Democrats, remember? That's campaign support. ancianita Aug 2018 #43

crickets..... mountain grammy Aug 2018 #60

Andrew Gillum gave credit to the Barack Obama Wing, The Hillary Clinton Wing and Cha Aug 2018 #72

Nobody here hinted that he is. He did well. Let's agree on the obvious. ancianita Aug 2018 #85

Good. Because AG is a Uniter Not a Divider. Cha Aug 2018 #90

He's not, and for people to divide here on the worth of someone like Bernie, who AG supports and ancianita Aug 2018 #94

Nah.. we're just putting the facts out there that AG Cha Aug 2018 #100

NAH? Who's "we," then. "Uniters" who wait for any pretext to jump on Bernie, eh? Don't drag "bro" ancianita Aug 2018 #110

I sure like Bernie better than Lieberman erlewyne Aug 2018 #34

Neither is a Democrat. NCTraveler Aug 2018 #61

+1000 LiberalLovinLug Aug 2018 #53

If BS votes so much with Dems.. why did he throw an insult Cha Aug 2018 #65

Are you saying he's lying? That Dems don't vote for corporate interests? Don't take 1%'s money? ancianita Aug 2018 #80

BS is WRONG.. The Democratic Party is NOT the Party of 1% and Cha Aug 2018 #83

So talk to Bernie, tell him not to overlook union support. One statement does not an enemy make. ancianita Aug 2018 #86

No, there was plenty of Pushback on Twitter over that wrongheaded Cha Aug 2018 #89

So why drag that over here. You serve no good purpose by doing so. ancianita Aug 2018 #96

BS needs to be held accountable for his Words. Words matter. Cha Aug 2018 #102

Nah. You need to be accountable for your words. Bernie may misstate, but he don't lie. ancianita Aug 2018 #107

No politician, especially a longtime career politician, is innocent of lying. ehrnst Aug 2018 #121

"Bernie blames Hillary for allowing Russian interference" emulatorloo Aug 2018 #140

If the 1% is doling out money, I'd prefer it go to Democrats. OilemFirchen Aug 2018 #99

Reread. Cha does, not me. Dems take money from both workers and the 1%. Bernie & I know this. ancianita Aug 2018 #106

Sanders' biggest campaign contribution came from Alphabet, Inc. OilemFirchen Aug 2018 #111

Re. Read. People here use a pretext for jumping on Bernie, even when a winning Dem uses him ancianita Aug 2018 #112

The "insult" isn't moot at all. OilemFirchen Aug 2018 #113

We're cool then. ancianita Aug 2018 #118

Excellent description of the "insult", Oilem. Cha Aug 2018 #129

Pointing out facts is not "casting shade." ehrnst Aug 2018 #123

Are you implying, or saying outright, that Sanders doesn't take money from 1%-ers? George II Aug 2018 #146

You certainly don't sound like you support the Democratic party. (nt) ehrnst Aug 2018 #122

Interesting, your first twelve sentences are questions (the 9th and 12th are sans "?" ) George II Aug 2018 #145

At his current income/net worth level, he's in the 1% himself. George II Aug 2018 #114

Oh, BS is in the "1%"? Funny he never mentions that when he's Cha Aug 2018 #125

The number changes from year to year. Two years ago it was high $200K, some estimates... George II Aug 2018 #130

Yep MyNameGoesHere Aug 2018 #68

A superb response. guillaumeb Aug 2018 #101

Well said. CentralMass Aug 2018 #154

He saw the wave coming so he hopped on. n/t pnwmom Aug 2018 #134

Bazinga! George II Aug 2018 #147

Do you have an example of him taking credit? Or just things other people not named... TCJ70 Aug 2018 #158

I love this tweet also Gothmog Aug 2018 #2

Exactly. Didn't Sanders lose FL? How much influence could he have there? And since when do lunamagica Aug 2018 #3

I know plenty, starting with the Killer Mike fans. ancianita Aug 2018 #44

That is an extremely strange response. nt NCTraveler Aug 2018 #63

Seriously? To the statement, "since when do black voters care what Sanders say?" ? ancianita Aug 2018 #116

Killer Mike is not "the black vote," nor is he representative of "the black vote." ehrnst Aug 2018 #124

I didn't make either claim. I answered Lunamagica's question with a fact. You called it "strange." ancianita Aug 2018 #128

First, you are confusing posts from different people ehrnst Aug 2018 #138

First, you're probably right on the confusion. Last, I never claimed Gillum went to Bernie. ancianita Aug 2018 #168

Well, I see Bernie is trying some outreach with the fundraiser. ehrnst Aug 2018 #149

Maybe you should read this article LiberalLovinLug Aug 2018 #57

Well said! mountain grammy Aug 2018 #58

Sanders lost FL and lost the black vote. That is a fact lunamagica Aug 2018 #73

My response to you: mountain grammy Aug 2018 #76

That doesn't dispute what lunamagica said at all. (nt) ehrnst Aug 2018 #126

I don't go by articles or polls. The only thing that matters are votes. Black voters lunamagica Aug 2018 #69

Between 2012 and 2016, black voter turnout fell 4.7 percent. progressoid Aug 2018 #136

The Voting Rights Act was "revised" (gutted) in 2013. N/T lapucelle Aug 2018 #155

No one has called it "A win for Sanders" LiberalLovinLug Aug 2018 #148

Black Voters came out in Full Force to vote for Andrew Gillum.. Cha Aug 2018 #67

On Twitter Not so much. Cha Aug 2018 #92

Bernie who? Blue_Adept Aug 2018 #4

Gillum won because he ran a great grassroots campaign mcar Aug 2018 #5

Exactly. He ran a fabulous campaign and worked very, very hard for this win. Native Aug 2018 #24

Great interview! mcar Aug 2018 #40

I never heard of him before today exboyfil Aug 2018 #27

Awesome tweet from Ragnarok Lobster. sheshe2 Aug 2018 #6

Not according to Gillum himself mountain grammy Aug 2018 #59

Of course Andrew thanked BS.. AG is a Uniter Not a Divider.. he also Cha Aug 2018 #71

What could he possibly know? QC Aug 2018 #87

... Maven Aug 2018 #7

Yeah workinclasszero Aug 2018 #11

Don't kid yourself. He very well knows Gillum supports Hillary.Your shade isn't what Bernie's about. ancianita Aug 2018 #19

Retweeted and LIKED!!! Mahalo, Maven! Cha Aug 2018 #74

Nice to see you Cha! Maven Aug 2018 #79

Another tweet from Ragnarok Lobster Gothmog Aug 2018 #9

Boom. sheshe2 Aug 2018 #120

Confused ProfessorGAC Aug 2018 #10

It's not confusing. Gillum is an inclusive politician who also acknowledged R B Garr Aug 2018 #12

Didn't Say Otherwise ProfessorGAC Aug 2018 #25

Gillum most certainly didn't say that he did it ONLY because of him. George II Aug 2018 #15

Never Said He Did ProfessorGAC Aug 2018 #23

And Lobster Ragnarok also said "SOME" (capitalization mine), not ALL. George II Aug 2018 #29

If you believe the one denies the other, that would explain your confusion. LanternWaste Aug 2018 #17

I Believe It Is You That Is Confused ProfessorGAC Aug 2018 #22

Andrew is a smart politician who campaigned for Hillary and served as her delegate pnwmom Aug 2018 #135

It looks like Mr. Gillum... tonedevil Aug 2018 #13

No he's not. Please read his tweet again. George II Aug 2018 #14

Do you think I didn't read it? tonedevil Aug 2018 #16

Mayor Gillum didn't say that he won ONLY because of Sanders' support. I'm sure Mayor Gillum.... George II Aug 2018 #21

"Mayor Gillum didn't say that he won ONLY because of Sanders' support" melman Aug 2018 #49

Gillum was just being polite. progressoid Aug 2018 #26

Being trapped in the past can do bizarre things to people. n/t QC Aug 2018 #133

Thank you.. and thank you Andrew Gillum and Bernie Sanders mountain grammy Aug 2018 #36

Amen, sista. ancianita Aug 2018 #50

I retweeted this one because Gillum understands his role as leader is to keep us underthematrix Aug 2018 #54

I bet GOP released that tidbit thinking Hillary fans wouldn't vote for him. flying_wahini Aug 2018 #18

where do we see that African American voters in Florida didn't know Sanders endorsed him? fishwax Aug 2018 #30

Pretty sure I read that Gillum HIMSELF didn't know Sansers supported him. BamaRefugee Aug 2018 #35

you read that on DU? fishwax Aug 2018 #39

Hahaha progressoid Aug 2018 #48

...... mountain grammy Aug 2018 #62

FAKE NEWS! FAKE NEWS! LiberalLovinLug Aug 2018 #64

GODDAMMIT THAT'S PHOTOSHOPPED!!!!! QC Aug 2018 #119

Hahaha progressoid Aug 2018 #137

Anything to cause trouble and sow division.. right here on DU. mountain grammy Aug 2018 #37

it's a weird parade to rain on, for sure fishwax Aug 2018 #38

I know, right? mountain grammy Aug 2018 #42

Well said granny, watoos Aug 2018 #45

I get so sick of shade casting bullshit here. ancianita Aug 2018 #51

The Democrats I know in FL are all very well informed, Autumn Aug 2018 #127

Your first reference - a question: salin Aug 2018 #41

And do YOU care about context? ismnotwasm Aug 2018 #142

I fail to see how those words should be acceptable to any woman Autumn Aug 2018 #144

I have been following this poster for a while Gothmog Aug 2018 #56

That sounds like a winning strategy: enough Bernie to make the bros happy Recursion Aug 2018 #55

Yup. ismnotwasm Aug 2018 #75

Tallahassee Mayor Andrew Gillum rode a late surge of African-American voters to an upset victory in Cha Aug 2018 #81

From Joan Walsh Gothmog Aug 2018 #97

Mahalo, Goth! Love the way Joan puts this.. Cha Aug 2018 #103

I hope people will donate DIRECTLY to Gillum, and avoid... NurseJackie Aug 2018 #150

Yes, if people want to donate to Andrew Gillum Cha Aug 2018 #152

When you get a "middleman" involved, a large portion of the original donation NEVER arrives... NurseJackie Aug 2018 #153

It's disgusting as usual Cha Aug 2018 #156

There are many ways to profit from someone ELSE'S achievements... NurseJackie Aug 2018 #161

Who would do that? TexasTowelie Aug 2018 #160
