I love watching how agitated so many Conservatives are on my timeline tonight watching Kamala Harris. Bernie Sanders has pulled the whole party to the left; these policies are really popular; and it's going to be a whole different election cycle.
As much as highly geeky policy progressives (rightly) doubt that Kamala is serious about these policies or would actually battle them through to reality, it matters that the conversation has shifted.
She's has a great rapport in these situations; I expect she'll quickly be clearly in top 3 in polling.

How easy is it to spot the flat out lie this NBC "journalist" tells here?
This statement of Sanders is consistent with 3 distinct possibilities:

1) Diversity and Class are equally fundamental issues.
2) Diversity is slightly more important than class, but class is still so fundamentally important that we should work at both together.
3) Class > race
1) this appears to be Sanders' position, consistent across many decades
2) I hold to some more elaborate version of this position
3) @mmurraypolitics falsely attributes this to Sanders based on a quote that *definitely* says no such thing

1) Our President is a MASTER When It Comes To Trolling

Our President understands what Howard Schultz's would mean if he decides to run as an Independent in the 2020 Presidential Election.



From the article linked above:

Former Starbucks CEO Howard
2) Schultz’s open consideration of an independent, third-party bid for the White House has numerous Democratic political operatives and candidates sounding the alarm.

“I have a concern that if he did run, that essentially, it would provide Donald Trump with his best hope of
3) getting re-elected,” Julian Castro — a former Housing and Urban Development secretary under the Obama administration and a 2020 Democratic presidential candidate himself — said Sunday when asked by CNN about Schultz’s possible run. “I would suggest to Mr. Schultz to truly

I have a few things to say about this piece that just dropped...

Why the #Bernie Movement Must Crush #BetoORourke
nymag.com/intelligencer/…
The insistence by white male writers that there is a two-white-man race out there between Bernie & Beto is so deeply, stunningly misogynist, it takes my breath away.

How is it POSSIBLE that these folks missed the blue wave which was fundamentally female--driven by women voters?
Not just driven by women voters, but driven by women candidates. Left-leaning women candidates, including WOC who ousted long-time older white male incumbents like....Bernie Sanders.

How is anyone missing this fact?
It's a major reason why Sanders' numbers have plummeted.

Bernie Sanders totally ignored the explicit racist language & imagery used by Trump, his campaign & his voters. Just pretend it didn't happen

Bernie Sanders incorrectly thinks voters who feel "uncomfortable" voting for a black candidate aren't racist 🤔
Bernie Sanders won't listen & talk about the black community or reparations.

Instead, Bernie gets testy, snapping "I've said black 50 times"

Bernie SUCKS when he has to go beyond a stump speech & listen to real people about their unique issues.

Entire video is on YouTube.

Bernie at a town hall in Vermont where he brings a police officer

Constituents calmly ask Bernie about vast amounts of money going to Israel & attacks on Palestinians

Testy, defensive Bernie wants to read a letter instead

Which we have been screaming since 2016.

I did an entire thread to the Manafort - Devine connection.

It was recently revealed that Devine was sharing polling data with Manafort during the primary. They are all in this together & the media ignores it purposely.
@MaddowBlog why?
1/ After it was revealed on @maddow that Manafort/Russia was working as far back as 2012 to smear Hillary Clinton it made more sense.

Think about this. Who was going to primary against Pres Obama in 2012? Bernie Sanders
2/ Why didn't #Sanders follow through? My opinion based on the timeline of events & the extensive research I have done on #TadDevine, is that Sanders was told to hold off until 2016 by Devine. We know that Devine was working with #Manafort on the Ukraine election during this time

This article's description of Kamala Harris, Bernie Sanders, and Elizabeth Warren as candidates ideal for activating the Democratic Party base just highlights how poorly the Atlantic (and its ilk) understand what's going on politically.
Kamala Harris is an ex-AG, and an establishment centrist's idea of who "those young people" might actually like. These are all candidates that sound reassuring to people who view the party future as trying to please "moderate" Trumpists as being a "not-scary left."
The candidates who are *actually* speaking to the broad base are people like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez - but this is so terrifying to party leadership that they can't fully process it.

allow me to explain:

first thing to realize is that compromise usually involved splitting the difference (e.g. arbitration -- if you've ever been privy, you know exactly what i mean).

next you need to understate that starting positions matter
now we come to the republicans..

they know to start out WAY to the right of anything sane

democrats, being slightly more reasonable tend to open with somthing they thing will win the other side over to their POV.

... it ... will ... not ....

so this happens.
after a few years of this (say since 1980) you end up with both parties being FAR to the right of anything that a rational person would consider CENTER

enter #bernie sanders and his populist, moderate policy positions like #medicareforall or raising the minimum wage
