THREAD: I'm worried that what happened in 2016 is going to happen again. For anyone who forgot, people pushed so hard for Bernie AND against HRC that when their candidate didn't win the primary, they were all so full of hate for HRC that they didn't vote, or voted 3rd party. 1/
And Russia, who is STILL interfering in our elections, exploited that hatred of HRC and sowed doubt and chaos to such an extent that it impacted our elections. Foreign bad actors piggybacked on US hatred for HRC and led voters to stay home. 2/
They even hacked the DNC and DCCC and released emails to harm HRC and promote Bernie. I'm not saying Bernie was *IN* on it, but they exploited that division and it WORKED. That, in concert with Jim Comey taking it upon himself to announce a probe 11 days before the election... 3/

#BerniesMittens And Why It Is Such A Sensation.
Do you know those moments at a funeral, or after a person dies, when you start sharing memories and the grief briefly turns to laughter and joy? Well that’s a little bit of what’s happening now.

#BerniesMittens is a collective expression of our love for a man and a movement. It is our expression of deep-seated hope that we are all willing to #FightForSomeoneWeDontKnow.
Bernie could have been president. Bernie should have been president.

So many of us are grieving that. There have been so many events that put the nail in the coffin of Bernie‘s presidency. Twice. Our grief has come in punches since 2016. Our dreams and hopes smashed, over and over.

A thread for Progressives:
You ever feel like you're experiencing Groundhog's Day? I've been experiencing this feeling ever since the 2020 primary season began.
I would like to illustrate this by reviewing a shapeshifting account which operated from April 2015 to July 2016.

[2] The first thing I'd like to note is that this account is just one of many that were never cleaned up by Twitter. Perhaps one might believe that Twitter has taken this issue seriously. But have they?
What happened in 2016 on social media was a matter of volume. That volume -

And keep in mind, that is $400k in debt with a monthly income of $581 and monthly expenditures of $2,996.
In 2009, Tare wrote she “flew into DC“ to start working for Biden. In Tara’s new story, she said she “drove across country” in her Nissan after Biden hired her.
Why the discrepancy?

In 2016 and 2017, her bank took her to court over debts.
In 2017, Tara stopped using all of her social media accounts, started going by a different last name, and began writing pro-Putin and anti-Biden works.

Social spending is NOT socialism.
Citizens Benefits are NOT communism
Massive Federal initiatives are NOT paid for with YOUR TAX DOLLARS.
All Federal programs are paid for with newly created PUBLIC MONEY not tax dollars, no matter how hard earned.

We can have nice things! That includes a repurposed, modern peacetime military to rebuild our crumbling infrastructure & a host of other benefits to reintegrate Vets vs cutting the budget, we shift it to make returning soldiers whole & ensure they are safe, healthy & reintegrated
Culinary union says Bernie Sanders wants to "end" their health care.
Translation: Warren won't endorse a campaign where booing Hillary Clinton or other Democrats is a thing. Seems important comrades.
Chapo Trump House and co. are to blame for a lot of progressives defecting from Sanders 2016 to Warren 2020.
So...unless I'm wrong, here's my vision of the timeline of the whole Sanders-Warren kerfluffle.
This is going to take a bit of a while, folks, so follow me here.

1) Lizzary and Bernie have their private meeting in December 2018, where the question of whether a woman can beat Trumpster is raised.
2) At the end of that month, Lizzary officially puts her name in the hat for the Democratic nomination for POTUS.
2) At the end of that month, Lizzary officially puts her name in the hat for the Democratic nomination for POTUS.
3) Around late January or early Feburary of the following year, Lizzary has an "off the record" convo with a room filled with journalists, where she first gives her (mis)interpretation of that meeting with Sanders, saying that he said a woman couldn't win.
All Bernie needed to say:
"I believe you, so clearly I said something that led you to believe that, but I truly misspoke. From the bottom of my heart I'm sorry for that." Two sentences and he comes out looking better than before.
Let's look at some of Bernie's greatest hits:

Instead of apologizing for his campaign stealing Hillary's data, he tries to sue the DNC and make himself the victim.

Instead of apologizing for not doing anything about Russia supporting his campaign, he... blames Hillary??🤔

Thread: I've been holding back on @AndrewYang a little bit, but now I think it's time to push back much harder on him. Honestly, I think some people underestimate how dangerous a Yang presidency would be. 1K monthly is not enough to live. The cost of living continues to rise.
@AndrewYang This is especially true, if his UBI plan is implemented without a rent cap (which @BernieSanders supports. Landlords will hike the rent as soon as it passes. I'm someone who cannot afford to give up disability/food stamps for 1k a month. It would crush me, first of all.
@AndrewYang @BernieSanders Also, 1K a month puts us at the mercy of the wealthy. if it's taken us 30 years to raise the minimum wage how long will it take to raise that 1k a month? The cost of living cannot be stressed enough. If it cuts into disability and food stamps people like me are done for.
When @intheMatrixxx and @Cordicon collide, it’s magical.

According to the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta, the 1910 Jekyll Island meeting resulted in draft legislation for the creation of a U.S. central bank.
Parts of this draft (the Aldrich plan) were incorporated into the 1913 Federal Reserve Act.
The American voting system is busted. Shattered. They’re trying to take away your vote by saying you’re not a citizen, by saying you voted in another state, by giving you provisional ballots for some cockamamie reason, by purging you from the voter rolls vimeo.com/269063461
These obstacles are put in the way of mostly voters of color — that’s the real issue. We have an apartheid election system in the US. And I’m very concerned that some groups and politicians talk about #VoteSuppression but avoid the issue of race. facebook.com/notes/greg-pal…
Q: Do you think that's out of fear, obliviousness, or something more sinister?
A: The Democratic Party was the party of #JimCrow. It’s in its DNA. If everyone got to vote, the party’s elite would be out on its ass — right, Bernie?
