US Transport Secretary #Buttigieg suggested a vehicle miles tax. And so the usual debate goes on between:
A: "are you mad taxing car use is *obviously* regressive"
B: " No it isn't"
So I am reupping a few threads that I wrote about this question

A few caveats. My threads refer to the European situation. The US is more car-dependent which means that more low-income households drive cars, and over longer distances (but fuel prices are lower).
Overall, this exacerbates concerns about the social impact of taxing car use.

DIFFICULT THREAD -- #BIDEN SHOULD WITHDRAW

2. But new information has emerged supporting #TaraReade's account of being sexually assaulted by #JoeBiden.
3. Credible rape accusations are disqualifying or we have NO moral standards.

Joe #Biden ha vinto il #SuperTuesday, l'appuntamento più importante delle primarie Dem #USA. L'ex vicepresidente di Barack Obama ha vinto in almeno 9 dei 14 stati in cui si andava al voto (potrebbero diventare 10 con il Maine, dove al momento è in lieve vantaggio).

🇺🇸 Anche se lo scrutinio non è ancora concluso al 100%, possiamo infatti dare per certa la vittoria di #Biden in Alabama, Arkansas, Massachusetts, Minnesota, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas e Virginia.
🇺🇸 Bernie #Sanders ha invece vinto in California, Colorado, Utah e Vermont. Infine, il miliardario Michael #Bloomberg - entrato in gioco solo nel #SuperTuesday - ha trionfato solo nei caucus che si sono tenuti nelle Samoa Americane.
Last week #BernieSanders led in most #California polls by close to 20 pts over everyone.
-Today 2 polls say just 5, 8 pts. respectively over #JoeBiden.
-@FiveThirtyEight polling average has #Biden within single digits of #Bernie #Supertuesday #NexstarDC

@FiveThirtyEight According to the polling #Joementum is real. #Bernie's organization in #California has been incredible, his outreach to Latino/independent voter blocs bodes well. But a narrow CA victory for the Sanders camp will be interpreted as a victory for #JoeBiden #SuperTuesday #NexstarDC
A few Democrat incumbents the @CAGOP and some of the CA Republican delegation in congress have their eyes on as "Flippable":
CA 10 - Josh Harder
CA 21 -TJ Cox

So, #Buttigieg:s voters will split pretty evenly, think 2% each for Sanders, Biden, Bloomberg, Warren and 1% for Klobuchar.
The big winners? Bloomberg and Warren, who will clear a lot more 15% hurdles. Sanders and Biden could both LOSE delegates on Tuesday over Pete dropping.

And it took the manipulator-in-chief about 20 minutes to try and sow discord... Shameful for an acting president.

1er bilan de cette primaire du #NewHampshire?
3 faits majeurs:
1. #BernieSanders vainqueur mais avec 1 marge plus faible que prévu sur #Buttigieg. Ils sortent en tête de la séquence #Iowa/#NH
2. Désastre total pour #Warren ET #Biden sous les 10%
3. #Klobuchar surgit vraiment.

2) Le #NewHampshire, juge de paix de la 1ère "étape" des primaires démocrates, a rendu 1 verdict en 3 étages:
. les 3ers candidats ont chacun de quoi se réjouir.
. Il y a 2 vaincus écrasés.
. Le grupetto (désolé mais j'aime ma métaphore TDF😉) des petits candidats est écrémé.

Ok. I've been trying to keep quiet but all the instant experts are getting a little carried away. So here's some pro tips. Well not pro, but 'unreasonably addicted to politics' amateur tips...
1/
1/
1. Iowa is like 103% white. Biden's strengths are not white midwesterners. He never had a chance at top two in Iowa.
2/
2/
2. Iowa is a caucus state. All Buttigieg's surge there really means is that he has awareness (he's from the midwest) and he was a comfortable consolation prize for people whose original choice didn't hit the 15% threshold.

People who are taking a victory lap over Buttigieg being booed by "everyone" at a dinner last night would prefer if you didn't know that those boos came exclusively from a section of Sanders supporters.
1/

They would also prefer if you didn't know that Sanders spoke about supporting whoever becomes the eventual Dem nominee... or that those boos eventually turned into applause for Pete.
2/

It would be really nice if Sanders' supporters would get out of his way long enough for his actual message to get to the rest of the constituency, instead of delivering their ultimatums and absolutisms from behind a thin veneer of holier-than-thou virtue signaling....

And guess who was behind the solar push in Puerto Rico....
Just think about other places that were devastated after natural disasters and who swooped in to claim to try to save them while actually doing nothing but making a ton of money....

Puerto Rico isn't the only place the Clintons have pushing solar, either. They're in cahoots with Bloomberg.

🇺🇸🗳️ Demain c'est le début des primaires démocrates pour désigner le candidat qui affrontera #Trump en novembre. Mais au fait, lequel de ces candidats est le plus à même de battre le Président sortant ? #thread
🇺🇸🗳️ Un premier point dans une vaste étude du #VoterStudyGroup de @democracyfund : 2016 était la première élection qui mettait aux prises deux candidats rejetés par les Américains. Ce sera la même chose en 2020, ni #Trump ni les prétendants démocrates ne passant la barre des 50%.
@DemocracyFund 🇺🇸🗳️ Dans les sondages nationaux, #Biden est régulièrement le candidat démocrate qui obtient les meilleurs résultats face à #Trump. Idem dans les principaux #swingstates, et pas seulement dans ceux de la #rustbelt où l'aspect "local" de #Biden l'aide.

...Warren's campaign put out a statement that effectively calls #Bernie sexist and then claims to want to move on.
The net effect is to try to damage the leading progressive in the race, which gives a big boost to the establishment wing.
Now why on earth would she do that?

People who follow me know how dedicated I am to fighting sexism. It was everything I did in 2016 and I was mocked and smeared for it when I defended Hillary.
But this isn't about sexism. It's about the incredibly questionable timing of lobbing this out there as #Bernie surges.

🇺🇸🗳️ Dans pile un mois, c’est le début d'une longue et palpitante saison électorale aux #EtatsUnis avec le caucus de l’#Iowa lors duquel 14 candidats vont concourir à l'investiture du parti démocrate. #primaires
🇺🇸🗳️ Au niveau national, peu d'évolutions en un an de campagne :
➡️#Biden reste en tête
➡️Les candidats de l’aile gauche #Sanders et #Warren le suivent à distance
➡️#Buttigieg est le seul autre candidat à se démarquer, les autres faisant (pour l’instant ?) de la figuration

#Buttigieg calls on #McKinsey to release information about his consulting work - @ABC News me & @AllisonMPecorin @JustinGomezABC abcnews.go.com/Politics/butti…
In November, a campaign official told ABC News the campaign had reached out to McKinsey to inquire about what Buttigieg's non-disclosure agreement encompasses.
In response to their inquiry, the campaign official said the consulting firm said in essence that all McKinsey employees agree to keep their client work confidential, including who they serve, the nature of their projects, and each client's confidential information.
