The performance art activists are at it again, already announcing their intent to vote 3rd party or not at all if this candidate wins the nomination or the Dems don't vote to impeach, or whatever bullshit trigger they claim as the reason they abandon humanity. 1/
I am sure a good portion of them are bots. Some are Trump supporters and libertarian trolls pretending to have progressive values. It really does not matter why or who they are, they should simply be blocked. Engaging with them amplifies their poison 2/
Politics is the process of aggregating power to win the policy changes you want. It is not a contest for the most perfect platform without compromise or error. It is messy. Performative politics is not about power, it's about ego and display. 3/
These absolutists who try to extort support by threatening to quit have already quit. They remind me of the violent protesters in Portland who ran amok after Trump was elected. Half of them didn't vote.

Their "activism" is not about policy, it's about waving their dicks around, it's a performative display that is meaningless other than in the realm of ego. So stop arguing with them, your concern is their porn. They fap to your earnest efforts. 5/
They don't want an end to ICE terrorism. They want to oppose ICE terrorism performatively, but not with votes, compromise, and the work of politics. That's too much work and it doesn't play nearly so well as performance art 6/6

The media is driving the narrative about the Democrats and Nancy Pelosi. They like controversy and division and they create it through false narratives and expectations. For example, if you only pay attention to the media, you would think the incoming Democratic freshmen are 1/
According to the media, the incoming 2018 Freshmen are a bunch of progressive firebrands for whom AOC, Omar, Tlaib, and Pressly are representative of this most diverse, youngest group of elected representatives.2/

But AOC, Omar, Tlaib, and Pressly all won their seats by winning the primary. They held on to already BLUE seats. They did not add a single seat to the Democratic caucus. Their victories did not hand the gavel to the Dems. 3/

I hate the woker-than-thou competition on Twitter, but still have to point out that objecting to Trump's racist "go back" tweet bt pointing out that 3 are born in the US concedes there is some difference in Omar's citizenship. There is not. #TrumpIsaRacist #RacistInChief
The only right and privilege of US citizenship denied to @IlhanMN is running for president. So do not object to Trump's racist rant by saying 3 are born in the US. You're inadvertently conceding ground to the #RacistinChief
Not to go too far astray, by woker-than-thou, I mean the people who parse the tweets of allies looking for a word or phrase to object to rather than keeping their eyes on the prize.

While we can all celebrate that Trump was unable to force a citizenship question back onto the census questionnaire for the first time since 1950, the census remains one of the biggest battles of 2020 and not just because it apportions representation in Congress. 1/
2/ The census is supposed to count every person in America. EVERY PERSON! That means counting the homeless and the undocumented. So why in the world would Republicans try so hard to ensure the census will undercount millions of Latinos?
psmag.com/news/experts-s…
3/ Since representation is apportioned by the census, not counting people Republicans do not value means those people do not get represented. Republicans do not value immigrants and other marginalized people. It's all about white supremacy.

1. It's amazing that, even after all we've learned, so many people dont understand the magnitude of what Russia did in its disinformation campaign.

And most important, Americans don't get how their gullibility and participation were essential to making it work, then and now...
2...We are under cyberattack by a foreign enemy. It is the first attack on America to be largely ignored by our government. The magnitude and significance of it cannot be overstated.

So, I am going to give you all the data to understand...
3...this thread may be attacked. Whenever I write about Russia, they are. In 2016, when I wrote about Russian disinformation being pushed onto the internet by an account @TEN_GOP my reporting from the intel world slammed here and elsewhere online, as well as by WashPost....

SCHUMER AND PELOSI SHOULD RESIGN.

2020 CANDIDATES OUTSIDE THE TOP TEN SHOULD WITHDRAW.

THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY IS FAILING TO OPPOSE AN AUTHORITARIAN TAKEOVER.

EXTRAORDINARY TIMES REQUIRE EXTRAORDINARY MEASURES.

#ImpeachTrump #ImpeachBarr #ArrestMnuchin

TO BE CLEAR:

Schumer and Pelosi should resign their leadership positions. Trump is effectively above the law and they are busy working with him on infrastructure week. House Dems have the power to #impeach and IT DOES NOT MATTER if the Senate won't convict.
Every minute, every hour, every day, there's some brazen violation of our fundamental norms & values by Trump and these power-hungry GOP lawmakers.

How long are we going to tolerate the Democratic Party's passivity, the only institution big enough to protect democracy? How long?

Y'day Trump tried to squirm out of his kiss-up to Kim by saying media misinterpreted him about Otto Warmbier. Today he uses misinterpretation again to claim "Russia-if-you're-listening" was a joke. This weaponization of ambiguity is key to #Trump's #propaganda #language. @ddale8
@ddale8 Reupping my old piece on some features of Trump's propaganda language, including strategic use of ambiguity ("misinterpreted"). It's disarming b/c he does it so brazenly. His "authenticity" is shamelessness in vernacular. Neither this nor Russia is a joke. euromaidanpress.com/2016/10/27/989…
Days after Wikileaks’ dump, Trump was impressed & wanted more. Listen to his breathy “everything” immediately before the ask—not a joke—to Russia: “how little respect…that they would hack a major party & get everything. It would be interesting to see…RUSSIA IF YOU’RE LISTENING”

Many of the #youthvote kids that I've talked to are primarily concerned with 3 things, Trump, Climate Change & Gun Control. Don't tell me they aren't voting this year. My impression is that they sure are! #ElectionDay #Vote #TuesdayThoughts

2/"Young people historically vote at lower rates, typically, than other age groups, and that has been especially true of the midterms. But this year, registration for younger voters is up substantially, with some studies anticipating the highest youth turnout in decades.
3/"We wanted to know what issues are motivating young people at such impressive rates this year, so we asked. In just a few days we had more than 800 passionate, sharp and often surprising responses. The respondents frequently mentioned climate change, no matter their party
