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.

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] 2019 was the year I moved away from academia and "became a journalist". So here are some of the highlights.

My most read stories were on the worrying trend of presenting horrible dystopic stories as uplifting "perserverance porn" @FAIRmediawatch

@FAIRmediawatch I also wrote one for @guardianopinion on how out of touch media see nothing wrong with poor Americans using dog insulin or fish antibiotics instead of proper healthcare.

@FAIRmediawatch @guardianopinion Venezuela is still a big topic for me. Read this rundown on how the media manufactures consent for regime change in the country by suppressing alt opinions. It was commissioned by a leading liberal outlet then bosses ironically killed it. @venanalysis

I made a FB post about Céline Dion's new album having an "Explicit" warning bc I thought it was funny.

A Bernie supporter commented: #BernieBlackout

I made a post about Emmett Till. Same guy commented: #BernieBlackout

A woman, and a 14-year-old civil rights era murder victim.
I suppose I should apologize for thinking I could post about a woman who is a recording artist and a black child who was murdered by white supremacists and not be guilty of the sin of not centering Bernie Sanders.

And I'm not the only one.

This is ridiculous, guys. Stop it.
By the way, if any candidate had a right to complain about not being the center of attention, it'd be Kamala Harris.

But women, and especially black women, don't get to play victim when they aren't in the spotlight. They just put their hands to the gears and keep working.

CNN: "If you're not going to ignore @AndrewYang's $10 million Q3 fundraising total, MSNBC, we certainly will. And don't you just love how Biden’s total puts him right in the center of the screen? Gosh we love that guy. And Booker too! Bless his $6M."

This new graphic isn't an exclusion, but it's an error that was only made with @AndrewYang's numbers. It looks like ABC created a bar for $28M instead of $2.8M in Q2, so visually, it looks like Yang lost instead of gained a lot of support in Q3.

CNN: "We only have room for one of the three candidates who polled at 2% in this poll. Let's go with Booker again. Sure he's in 8th, while @AndrewYang is in 6th by RCP avg, but we really want that to change. And let's put Booker in the chyron too."

Okay, here's #MyBernieStory:
I went to college because you HAD to have a degree to make it in the world. $80k later, I have to live with my Mom, because my $1,200 rent payment is going to my loans instead. I can't default because my Mom co-signed. I WILL NOT destroy her credit!(1
...Plus it's impossible to declare bancruptcy anyways. I've worked for a non-profit for ~8 years hoping to get some of my loans forgiven. Turns out 99% who try that fail. So, with interest rates at 14% and ALWAYS rising, I will NEVER pay them off. (2
And that's not for lack of trying. I work a full time job on weekdays, cater as a 2nd on weekends and housesit for all my coworkers and friends consistently for extra cash in my "spare time." I am using my grandparents old car (blessed) & would be completely HOSED without it. (3
