“They have hired a top lieutenant in Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign to spearhead the effort.” nytimes.com/2019/02/23/us/…
Bernie Sanders supports single payer health care and other Democratic candidates employ people who later run insurance industry efforts to prevent Medicare For All from ever happening, but sure, there are no ideological differences among Democrats on health care.
The person running anti-Medicare-For-All efforts for the insurance industry also “managed campaigns and issues related to the Affordable Care Act” under Obama as the former Deputy Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs for health care at HHS. forbes-tate.com/2017/01/09/for…

Views of @BernieSanders by race. Keep in mind that these numbers include Republicans and Independents.

Bernie Sanders has higher net favorables than any other candidate among Black adults. Part of that is driven by higher name recognition, but even if you adjust for that, Sanders remains at the top (with Harris, Klobuchar, & Booker right behind).

TFW you receive an email notifying you that @Dennis_Kucinich is running for Governor of Ohio. #PowerToWeThePeople
Lesser-known fact about @Dennis_Kucinich: back in 2004, we won the @mfsfox Mock Primary Election in a landslide. It was awesome. mfriends.org/news/among-fri…
Here's a story about @Dennis_Kucinich, @TheDemocrats, & a formative political moment for me. Back during Obama's first term, 64 House Democrats took a pledge not to vote for a bill that didn't include a public option. Some centrist Democrats didn't want a public option.

A group of transparency advocates posted a mammoth collection of hacked & leaked docs from inside RU, a release viewed as a sort of symbolic counterstrike against RU’s dissemination of hacked emails to influence the American presidential election in 2016. nytimes.com/2019/01/25/wor…
The sheer volume of the material — 175 gigabytes is immense. The volume is many times greater than the total known material stolen by Russian military intelligence from the DNC and Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign nearly three years ago.
nytimes.com/2019/01/25/wor…
The core files from the new collection, called “The Dark Side of the Kremlin,” included “hundreds of thousands of messages and files from Russian politicians, journalists, oligarchs, religious figures, and nationalists/terrorists in Ukraine,”

If the Dems hadn't let HRC use the DNC to oust Bernie he would've faced Trump in 2016.

If the FBI/DOJ hadn't colluded with HRC/DNC there would be no Special Counsel.

If there wasn't a Special Counsel Dems would've called for Sessions to resign in early 2017.

In case the Dems forgot about the insanity that brought you Hillary vs. Trump.

Mark Elias of Perkins Coie & Debbie Wasserman Schultz of Broward County.

Names sound familiar? 🤔

It’s Election Eve.

I’m looking forward to tomorrow and the day after, and I’m putting together a thread of outstanding candidates I’ll be following as the results roll in.
Beto O’Rourke, Senate, TX

Driven, vital, and genuine. Supports universal health care coverage; gun control; the legalization of marijuana; the DREAM act; and paths to work, family reunification and citizenship for immigrants, refugees, and asylum-seekers. Fluent in Spanish.
Stacey Abrams, Governor, GA

Supports affordable private health care for all; expanding Medicaid; providing quality child care for working parents and education for young children; gun-control; sex education and sexual healthcare; a woman’s right to make reproductive decisions.

Everyone in the Midwest just loves student debt and shitty health care monopolies. Last time I was in Des Moines people would not stop praising the price of pharmaceuticals.
One of the reasons @Ocasio2018 did well is because Obamacare obviously didn't work for the majority. In 2009, 7% of large employers offered high-deductible health care insurance. Today it's 39%. Insured people are losing their health care and the Democrats didn't notice!
There's no real mystery with why people are turning to different candidates. It isn't some grand youthquake, it's that the Democrats haven't been relevant to anything for years. Obama promised lots in 2009, but did a terrible job. This wasn't hard to see. washingtonpost.com/posteverything…
