Your spin for socialism is embarsssing. This is why no one trusts you.
It's one thing for AOC and her allies to gaslight people and spin this, but another for alleged journalists to do it for her. Report on what was written and let the public decide.
The real complaint is that AOC's FAQ included specific details regarding the resolution that made it more mock-worthy. She is one of the chief sponsors. The idea that people should ignore those details and only pay attention to the vague language of resolution is spin.

Wow....
Might be a good time to look back at some of the early takes.
So @AsheSchow tried to warn people:

"Give away"?

She is either incredibly stupid or incredibly dishonesty.

They weren't giving away anything. It was a tax reduction. You need something to tax to give a reduction. City could have had millions in tax revenue to spend on these items, but now they will get nothing.
This only makes sense if you assume that all of Amazon's money belongs to the government, which she likely does.
This is like celebrating that you didn't win the lottery because now you don't have to give away 40% in taxes, and then talking about everything you can do with that 40%. You didn't win!!! You get nothing!

Or in this case, here constituents get nothing.

I have an update: After fixing some errors, giving far more credit to impact of sending economy to the dark ages, and accounting for the 11% of emissions offset by forests/lands, we would only need to get rid of ~110 Million Americans by 2030 to get near net-0 emissions.*
*This still does not account for emissions from any of the new projects contained in the Green New Deal. Including retrofitting every building in America and building an extensive high speed rail system.
Also, please keep in mind that doing all of that still won't have any significant impact on climate change, and some of the people proposing all this haven't been willing to make any significant personal sacrifices to deal with this urgent threat that requires all of this.

AGAIN, Warning: This thread is likely to trigger known social media ailments inc, but not limited to, faux outrage, mad Bros, gaslighting, and more. Those experiencing such will be ignored and/or laughed at.

Now, let's talk about how we're already fucking up 2020, part deux.

1/
Yesterday I explained why I believed our overcrowded candidate field for 2020 is not good thing. In this thread I will focus on what I think the candidates themselves are getting wrong.

Hold on to your hats kids, this might get a little bumpy.

2/
1. I belong to the largest and most dominant political coalition in the United States. And we are being ignored.

It is a real tragedy, because it signals that the candidates are either buying into the negative propaganda out there, or they lack confidence.

Neither is good.

TW (DEPRESSION / PTSD / Mental illness in general):

So I gonna make myself vulnerable for a minute and talk about depression and how it affects how we feel and how we think we feel. And it's something despite being pretty obvious is always under the surface.
Depression makes you feel a lot of things. It makes you lose interest in things you were interested in. It makes you feel alone and isolated. It makes you feel stuck and unable to move. There are so many feels associated with depression that it's hard to articulate them all.
And these things affect your life immediately. You are unable to perform routine tasks. Your work starts to suffer. If you are in school, you never want to check your grades. You become distant from family and friends. You don't want to leave home. It *is* debilitating.

One thing the @aoc-led discussion of marginal tax rates has revealed is that how happily ignorant many rich people are of US economic history.
Today, Dell Founder, Michael Dell: washingtonpost.com/technology/201…
Its telling that the Davos-set are equating a serious proposal, supported by many economists, to rethink marginal tax rates as a form of populism akin to the guy who called Mexican rapists and threatened to lock up his enemies.

Over the last few days, it's become clearer and clearer to me that, without intervention, coverage of the 2020 campaign is likely to be a disaster for everyone except Trump and his core voters, who want to watch it all burn anyway. In this thread I describe the danger I see. 1/
By "disaster for everyone," I mean all candidates opposing Trump, journalists themselves, voters from all sides (except those who have exited from the news system by merging with his hate campaign against the news media) and anyone who seeks the repair of American democracy. 2/
Start with the simple fact of inertia. In ruins after the debacle of 2016, the horse race model and "game" schema that have instructed campaign journalism for at least 40 years are up and running again. It appears the bosses have no better ideas, and no will to develop them. 3/

So, I've waded through the Evangelical Alliance's new pastoral "guidelines" for interacting with trans people (ughh, the things I do to expose #transphobic #ciswits to the world), and let's just say it's time to tear this particular sh*t-bag a new hole.

So, straight off the bat, first page of text, the use of #language is . . . well, yeah, see for yourself:

"It is important to remember that transgender is not simply an issue to be debated;" - p5, #Transformed

*sigh*

When such language gets reinforced by insisting...

The 14th amdt turns 150 years old this year on July 9. It is the closest we’ve come to writing into the constitution what we claimed in the Declaration of Independence. If you’re forced to pick one, choose the 14th - above the 1st, the 2nd, or the FIF. Sorry Dave Chappelle.
2/x I’m using this as a thread to post one tweet a day about the fourteenth amendment until its 150th anniversary on July 9th. John Bingham, republican of Ohio, is credited as the principal author of Section 1 of the amendment, which contains its substantive rights provisions.
3/x I sort of lied when I said I would post one tweet per day until July 9th to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the 14th. Some ideas don’t fit in one tweet. So let’s say one thread per day - short ones:
