Four Million Steem Power worth of irony coming...

There can be no doubt, @berniesanders is known throughout the platform. Some see the light in him for doing good, but some see his darkness coming upon them.

Whereas you have to look specifically into the details to see the light in him (I haven't noticed anything noteworthy that was positive from him so far), the industrial scale of his daily flagging excesses on the other hand is made clearly visible by the stats services to the Steem blockchain, namely Steemworld and Steemd.

There you can see a lot of red, but in these stats, you can also see something else:

The sheer number of users who have been plagued by @berniesanders - and they all hate him and they all want him gone!

So, here they are, this weeks flagging victims of @berniesanders and affiliated accounts:

Most of the users with less than 100 SP are probably spammers, scammers and copyright infringers. I don't have a problem with flagging them, so I will file their downvotes under "good bernie". But I strongly suspect, the other in total 19 users (including me it is 20 for this week) do publish legitimate content and the reason for @berniesanders flagging them has different, not so good motives.

The top two are @haejin and @dmania (I've talked about his crusade/jihad against the meme platform). Combined, they have a total of more than 1 Million SP at their disposal, which is more than just a bit. And even if you ignore @haejin here for a moment, for @dmania, @berniesanders (and also @themarkymark) poses a veritable threat and therefore the users behind @dmania should have an existential interest in curtailing the power of @berniesanders.

One Million SP is not peanuts to get that done.

Even if you ignore both SP whales, the others on the list with 100+ PS still have more than 22,000 SP combined (ignoring the state of their voting power). This might be only a drop in the sea of Steem Power @berniesanders has at his disposal, but as I have described in the last post, it's about needle stitches, not about the big hammer.

Add to that the users that I have in the background - holding a combined voting power of somewhere between the first two and the other 17 - and you get a veritable fighting force.

Two things need to be done now in the regard of winning additional (potential!) flaggers.

1. Contact the users listed above if they haven't been contacted yet and inviting them into the fight.
2. Find out who @berniesanders has pissed off in the past month.

WOOOooooOOOOOOAAAHH that list won't end...

In total, 677 users have had the pleasure of an unpleasent encounter with @berniesanders. Not bad.

Sure, you'll find a couple users (like me) who appear in several of the lists. But then again, that's not even 15% of all users flagged. The same goes for users without relevant amounts of SP on their account. They may be the majority, but there are more than enough legitimate users producing legitimate content who ended up in this cradle of bernie victims.

To give you an overview about the bottom line of potential additional flagging helpers against @randowhale customers, I will give you the relative shares of the users by their size, who fell victim to bernies flagging expedition in this week and then, I will transfer these relative shares to the cradle of of bernie victims for the past month.

Here they are, the relative shares:

Steem Power	Absolute Share (of 68+me)	Relative Share
>100,000	2	2.5%
>10,000	1	1.2%
>1,000	3	3.8%
>100	14	17.7%
Delegated	1	1.2%
<100	48	60.7%

Assuming it was 600 different users in the past month who either flagged bernie or got flagged by him, this results in the follwing distribution based on the above relative shares:

Steem Power	Absolute Share (600)	Aggregated Steem Power (estimated average)
>100,000	15	3.75 Million (250,000)
>10,000	7	350,000 (50,000)
>1,000	23	115,000 (5,000)
>100	106	53,000 (500)
Delegated	7	unknown (-)
<100	364	18,200 (50)

The bottom line: A whopping 4,182,700 Steem Power!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but that's enough additional firepower to shoot you (and comrade marky..) to the moon!

Even if you discount that by the whales and assume only 1/4 of the remaining users are willing to engage in the kill-shot against you, @berniesanders, it will still be more than enough. Because I haven't even contacted most of them yet and don't forget: There is already a load of gunpowder in the canon pointed against you and your customers.

Now, before the shooting will start, there are several things to be done before we can do the job.

On top of the to-do list is the task of specifying the conditions of your surrender, bernie. And on this one, everyone is invited to make suggestions, but I would like you to be fair.

Tough, but fair.

After all, we don't want bernie to do silly things like dumping his fortune or sabotage the platform in other ways. (For the history buffs among you: We need more Brest-Litowsk, less Versailles on this one.)

Personally, I don't mind him being a part of Steemit - and possibly even as witness - but what I find important is to define for his future here on Steemit:

• Who, how much and why he should be allowed to flag.
• Which accounts he should be allowed to use.
• What he can do with his Steem fortune so he can get a decent return on it.
• What project he can focus on here on the platform.
• What we need to trust him and can take away from him if he doesn't comply.

Suggestions are welcome. Knock yourself out in the comment section!
