One of the reasons I have been supporting the Biden/Harris campaign is that a Biden win, a Trump defeat, sends a message to the scourge of populists we have seen grab power across the world. #europeforbiden . /thread
We have learned that populists have to lie and cheat to win, that’s the only way they CAN win. We know that from the bus, the secret Facebook ads in the referendum, the neverending Trump lies, the broken promises from the last few years - oven ready deals, fake news tweets . /1
Populist lies work by persuading voters to lie to themselves. “It’s not your fault it’s his fault, the other one, the one that’s different to you.” “Don’t worry blame the other guy and vote for me and I will give you everything you want.” /2
THREAD: @FoxNews has played the long game & it has very nearly cost us our democracy. When they started their slogan was “Fair & Balanced”. It implied that the rest of the mainstream news channels, which the majority of Americans believed & trusted, were NOT fair or balanced. 1/8
It also created a false equivalency, where the GOP & Fox News pundits could make increasingly outrageous & factually dubious statements that could be given the same weight as mainstream news reporting, which in the vast majority of instances was down the middle & fact-driven. 2/8
Fox News was the originator of “both sides” political reporting, not in that they reported both sides, but that they CREATED the very dynamic that one side’s political demagoguery was the equivalent of the other side’s earnest political discourse. 3/8
Due to the latest report of Trump's sexual improprieties, Trumpers have gotten Tara Reade trending again, calling liberals/Democrats hypocrites. Here's the difference: Ms. Reade's allegation was taken seriously, but due to inconsistencies and multiple people discrediting her,
the allegation has been deemed unreliable. To this point, it's been the only such allegation made against Biden. On the flip-side, there have been over 33 such allegations made against Donald Trump. Many of the stories are similar to one another and have largely been consistent.
Said stories have also not been discredited like Ms. Reade's was. Therefore, the single allegation against Joe Biden appeared to be quite out-of-character for him, meanwhile, given Donald Trump's history, similar allegations made against him seem sadly in-character.

He's on tape. President Trump is responsible for the deaths of Americans. We can no longer call it negligent homicide, far less for criminal negligence. The lies were willful. The rallies without social distancing & anti-mask rhetoric were done knowingly. It was DELIBERATE.
#TrumpOwnsEveryDeath is not just a hashtag, it is reality.
Trump: It was a hoax. Then it was “We have it totally under control." There was also this beauty: “It’s one person coming in from China. We have it under control. It’s going to be just fine.” And who could forget "It will miraculously go away"?

My next VP: "Unlike the Democratic convention, which was very clear-eyed about the challenges we are facing and how we will tackle them, the Republican convention is designed for one purpose: To soothe Donald Trump's ego."
Kamala Harris is nailing it.
Kamala Harris is nailing it.
My next VP, Kamala Harris: "We know the truth. Donald Trump has failed at the most basic & important job of a president of the United States. He failed to protect the American people. Plain & simple. Trump showed what we in the legal profession would call a reckless disregard."
Kamala Harris just provided the best takedown of Donald Trump I've seen. Incredible. Inject that into my veins.
I am so ready for Biden-Harris. Fuck any Republican who claims I, as a voter, am not enthusiastic about voting.

This use of the White House for Trump's re-election bid is so inappropriate. He doesn't even have to extort a foreign power anymore -- he's doing it right from the White House in plain sight with the cameras on. WITH IMPUNITY.

WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS? They're doing a live naturalization ceremony at the White House as a performance so we forget they hate immigrants and are violating the Hatch Act?
This is so completely disgustingly exploitative and unethical.
This #Thread the most important one I have ever written. #BidenHarris2020Landslide could be the difference between life and death for me and countless other #disabled people. #CripTheVote #ByeDon2020
Can anyone guarantee if heaven forbid #Tre45on wins I won't be thrown in a camp cause I'm #Muslim #Jersey girl? It breaks my heart that this meeting is being framed as negative or shady. #DisabilityTwitter #GH fam you know me I can't keep a secret and I was never asked to.
I am proud to work with #BidenHarris to #BeatTrump like a drum and I have no doubt they are equally proud to work with me a multiple minority. @JoeBiden & @KamalaHarris's campaign took the time to sit down with me and my community. #CripTheVote #ByeDon2020
