Bernie Sanders Allies Launch Group for Outreach to Leftist Students on Campus
“We’ve seen the success of the right, and we aim to rival it by being a thought leader on campuses”
Advisers to Bernie Sanders are launching a new group to reach out to and recruit left-leaning students on college campuses. This might be the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard.
Are there not enough opportunities for American college students to be exposed to the left’s ideas on American college campuses? This is like trying to recruit people to do drugs on the streets of San Francisco.
The one interesting aspect of this story is that it is being done as a response to Turning Point USA, which means it is an admission of TPUSA’s success. I like the fact that this has the left concerned.
The Washington Post reports:
Liberals launch college project to counter Turning Point USA
A liberal media outlet founded by advisers to Sen. Bernie Sanders launched a project Monday to counter Turning Point USA’s growing conservative influence and presence on college campuses.
More Perfect University, created by the advocacy journalism nonprofit More Perfect Union, will focus on recruiting and training liberal content creators on campuses across the country, organizers said.
“We’ve seen the success of the right, and we aim to rival it by being a thought leader on campuses,” Faiz Shakir, founder and executive director of More Perfect Union, said in a statement.
The group runs one of the fastest-growing, left-wing channels on YouTube and has attracted attention across the political spectrum.
The new effort will have three main components: on-campus events, including live interviews, debates and podcast tapings; a national digital community on email and Discord; and students trained to produce a pipeline of stories for the organization’s online platforms. The organization said it plans to prioritize public and working-class campuses.
Instead of creating local chapters with members and dues, More Perfect Union said the college students will film short videos, make podcasts and report stories in their local communities.
“We can’t cover every town. We can’t be at every campus. We can’t be everywhere. We need you,” the group’s new director, Elise Joshi, told viewers in an inaugural live stream Monday evening. “That is why we are opening up our newsroom and launching More Perfect University.”
This is utterly pointless. The whole reason for the success of Turning Point USA is that it offers an alternative to the leftist monoculture that already dominates college campuses. There is no need for a left-wing version.
You don’t need to bring Leftism to universities; the University is the Leftism https://t.co/Pyg4Yeabji

Pretty sure liberals already have an influential group on university campuses. It's called the university. https://t.co/hanooUj1bX

Does this mean that conservative students will be allowed to harass members of this liberal group when they table on campus? How about shouting down liberal speakers and destroying campus displays? Is this new group going to have to deal with all of the things TPUSA constantly has to put up with?

As the commenters said, this is peak stupidity and cluelessness. Wait! That describes Sanders to a T, Never change you old commie grifter. Never change!
An lefty outreach program on college campuses
=
Carrying coal to Newcastle.
Should have called it Transing Point.
Hey, commies don’t exactly have a reputation for understanding supply and demand, or managing surpluses and shortages.
“Outreach to campus leftists” — a job so easy that Peter Dinklage could do it in concrete overshoes.
“This might be the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard…”
Channeling the Simpson’s meme, it’s the dumbest thing you’ve ever heard *so far*. Give them time. They’ll outdo themselves.
I wonder what it’ll be that motivates naive freshmen to their point of view? The brightly colored hair, random piercings, homosexuality, drug use, poor personal hygiene, vegetarianism?
So much to choose from!
Climate change
Jew hatred
The chance to simp a progressive female girl boss
Chance to larp as a downtrodden commie revolutionary
Bernie, ever the dimwit old Trot, doesn’t know that his people have been doing just that for well over a century?
Bernie Sanders is a Marxist cancer.
Not having the universities run like Marxist Seminaries isn’t enough already.
Bernie just go away
Bernweed, the communist dork.
In his first real job besides being a life-long political parasite, Bernie Sanders vows to bring coal to Birmingham … as always, with someone else’s money!
