Haha pretty slick there Bern. A large part of the country will associate Brooklyn with feisty lower-class scrappiness—the Dodgers, Bugs Bunny, all that—and a significant slice will note that it’s been the tragically hippest municipality in the country for a long time now.
I know it’s just the in-house picture choice, but elevators are a bad image for this sort of thing.
Do you think Bernie even knows that the Dodgers left Brooklyn? I’d put it at 50/50.
Bernie still considers escalators a modern marvel and a thrill ride.
Yawn.
“…amid his calls for “Medicare-for-all,” a $15-an-hour minimum wage…”
These are not “calls” for these ideas, but “cudgels”. Bernie demands all or nothing. I disagree with the writer’s opinion of Sanders “reshaping” the Democratic Party, as Democrats have stood for higher wages and attempts at universal healthcare long before Bernie, and achieved progress Bernie is still campaigning against.
In Vermont they’ve already given up on Medicare-for-all there as unworkable and not financially possible. Vermont’s minimum wage is currently $10.78. It just went up 28 cents in January. He crucified Hillary Clinton in 2016 for being a “centrist neoliberal!” for suggesting a glide to $15 by raising it to $12/hour first. I bet people in Vermont wish they could earn $12/hour right now three years later.
I guess there are more “true believers” in Brooklyn.
Well, he was actually a fairly athletic teenager when it happened, so I imagine some word of it came to his ears. 
At least he’s going up. Or at least I hope he is.
Can’t “Bernie” just stay out of the presidential race? He (indirectly) helped Don the Con in 2016. We need fresh blood.
I don’t know about that, because there’s also the fact that Brooklyn went for Hillary in the 2016 primaries.
“Bernie” still thinks Montreal has a baseball team and the As are in Philly.
“Indirectly”?
Do you think he even voted for Hillary Clinton? I don’t.
Er … I do, too.
I still like the frisson one gets from running up the escalators going down.
When I try that these days, a frisson is the least of my problems.
His good friend Connie Mack is a helluva manager.
I was being diplomatic.
Dude: Show us your tax returns. No way we should consider a candidate who is hiding his tax returns.
Brooklyn is a whole lot bigger than just Williamsburg and Green Point. I do wonder though, how welcoming all the other Brooklyn neighborhoods will be towards Bernie.
