The messaging on this is terrible; causing unnecessary outrage.

#AndrewYang is not trying to run #3rdParty, or rejecting #Democrats, or asking anyone else to, he will just endorse/support any candidate who aligns with his (atm, mostly #Democratic) policies.
#Yang has said multiple times that he knows #Independents can't win the presidential and almost never win Congressional races, EXCEPT where there's open, #RCV elections, like #Alaska, and he's not encouraging anyone to register as Independent.

#AndrewYang and #KrystalBall have long conversation, on #YangSpeaks (now #Forward) about his new party (arguably NOT a party), what it will do, and why.

#YangGang have been waiting for definitive answers. Well, your wait is... not really over😵‍💫
What do I mean by that? Well...

@AndrewYang said he IS starting a new party...
BUT he "answered" the question of whether the Forward party would run candidates by saying it will back #Democrats and #Republicans who align with Forward policy...
open.spotify.com/episode/0XZgPT…
He said he is forming a new party because he doesn't believe changing #election rules in favor of more parties is likely to happen from within the #duopoly...

BUT, they're going to back duopoly candidates, and didn't mention running their own...

@AndrewYang is just another example of a politician who doesn’t get it. Why should New Yorkers elect someone who sees one of the strongest tactics of #economic #resistance as similar to anti-Semitic violence?
Why would you trust someone who would suggest that the use of a #boycott (prominently featured in American & global #history to topple #racist regimes) is a racist & fascist tactic?

That is someone who wants to take your power away.
#Palestinians are first, because we’re an easy target. But if you think it stops there, you need to learn from #history. The #US has tried to target & outlaw #boycotts for a long, long time.

#Waymo, #Google's self-driving vehicle division, announced they are expanding access to their fully driverless taxi service in Pheonix, beyond the current exclusive set of early adopter riders. They plan for the entire fleet to be driverless #soon.
blog.waymo.com/2020/10/waymo-…
Waymo uses a local solution, mapping an area extensively and using GPS and Lidar to navigate.

At the same time, #Tesla is saying that their alternative approach, of using camera-vision and advanced AI neural networks to allow their cars to travel anywhere, is making strides.
#Musk recently announced they will soon be releasing a newly rebuilt OS to the public, which uses 3-D visual computation. Musk claims the build, which he uses in his own car, is capable of no-intervention driving, albeit highly inconsistent yet.

In an interview, #Trump called for his political opponents – #Obama, #Biden, and #Hillary - to be jailed, relating to 1,000 pages of unverified documents rejected by both #Dems and #Reps on the Senate Intelligence Committee as Russian disinformation.
mediaite.com/news/trump-cal…
The spurious documents suggest Clinton personally tried to “stir up a scandal” against Trump by “tying him to Putin and the Russians’ hacking of the DNC,” and that Obama was aware of her actions.
Trump: “Unless Bill Barr indicts these people for crimes — the greatest political crime in history of our country — then we’re going to get little satisfaction. And that includes Obama, and that includes Biden.”

#Biden was 1st to introduce a #ClimateChange bill. His 1986 Global Climate Protection Act died in committee, but Reagan signed a version of into law when Biden successfully attached it as an amendment to a State Dept funding bill. /thread politifact.com/factchecks/201…
#Biden, introducing his #GlobalWarming bill in Jan 1987: "Life on this planet exists only under highly specialized circumstances" & "even a small rise in temperature could disrupt the entire complicated environment that has nurtured life as we know it." @PolitiFact
In 1/87 Senate speech, #Biden said #ClimateChange was a bigger threat than the USSR: Reagan told Gorbachev "‘that if we had an invasion from Mars, both sides would put aside our differences.’ While not an exterrestrial threat, global warming could prove no less dangerous."

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
thehill.com/homenews/campa…
@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 Image
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
CA 25 -Katie Hill**
CA 39 -Gil Cisneros
CA 48 -Harley Rouda

People who think that @BernieSanders gets us closer to @AndrewYang's vision for America don't actually understand Yang's vision for America: A Thread

#YangGang #EndorseUBI
#Bernie2020 #NotMeUs

First of all, #Yang wants a unified America. One where there isn't a huge political divide and so much hate and conflict. He doesn't alienate anyone.

#Bernie is incredibly divisive and angry and will only cause tensions to rise if given the nomination or the presidency.

(2/16)
The #FederalJobsGuarantee goes against Yang's vision because #Yang wants to redefine work in an age where jobs are being automated away and where work that has intrinsic human value isn't being recognized by the market.

Back in March 2018 we reversed engineered / identified just over 250 Twitter accnts of the 600 Russian influencer accts monitored by the German Marshall Fund at the #Hamilton68 dashboard. Over time we expanede this list and broke them into subcatgories dashboard.securingdemocracy.org Image
Without giving away too much part of the reverse engineering involved an oversight in how the @SecureDemocracy dashboard displayed its trending data. We reverse engineered enough accounts as seed accounts to then grow out the set over time. We are completely independent of @gmfus ImageImage
Fast forward to 2day. We looked at the discussion of candidates within the Kremlin-aligned #Hamilton68 subset of accnts most focused on Russian Geopolitics. This wordcloud in first week of Feb. shows positive support to Bernie Sanders #Bernie2020 #elections2020 #nvcaucus Image
