1/ This is the story of "the story" that @dailykos tried to hush up - when a white male Contributing Editor on staff harassed an accomplished Black woman, @ninaturner , with disgusting sexist tweets.
@dailykos@ninaturner@armandodkos 5/ When a black man, Progressive First, tried to report the story of Armando's sexist tweets to the Daily Kos community, his diary was deleted by the mods and he was put on a timeout. The question is: why?
@dailykos@ninaturner@armandodkos 6/ Others reported the story later. One diary is now high on the rec list (a sign of approval from the community). In the comments, some actually dismiss the events as “Armando being Armando”.
@dailykos@ninaturner@armandodkos 15/ "Hi all, Daily Kos Communications Director here. I wanted to let everyone know that Daily Kos has ended its association with non-staff contributor Armando Lloren, as his behavior is not reflective of the values and priorities of this organization."
@dailykos@ninaturner@armandodkos 16/ I asked "when will Progressive First’s Timeout be lifted? At the moment, Armando has more Daily Kos privileges than PF does, which seems more than a little perverse" ... Crickets ...
1/5 @krystalball Love you so much, dear lady, but you need to RE-THINK IOWA. It was not a failure, it was a DNC SUCCESS because the crap-fest was all about stopping Bernie's MOMENTUM. It worked! So Tara is being REWARDED now ...
2/5 You KNOW that Tom Perez said, "We know the importance of momentum in Democratic primaries." But somehow, you are not grokkiing his words. They STOLE Bernie's MOMENTUM.
3/5 Plan included:
* Kill DM Register poll
* Use "faulty" app to hand Buttigieg a victory
* When app was called out, IDP chair DELAYED results (gave partial numbers from pro-Buttigieg counties!)
* Narrative became "What's with IA?" instead of historic wins by Bernie in IA NV NH!
Yesterday, DSA San Francisco demonstrated everything wrong with politics. I am very disgusted. Those involved are more interested in their own personal interests and political careers than in Justice.
We can all thank them for helping Pelosi keep her stranglehold over Congress.
Jasper Wilde did her very best to stir up a mob on the day of the "trial", and she succeeded. She hurls wild accusations, but does not provide actual proof or evidence.
She portrays herself as an experienced campaign manager, but refuses to answer questions about previous roles
And she was convicted by a bunch of Bernie supporters, who should KNOW that women are capable of pulling dirty political moves in order to advance their own careers.
Elizabeth Warren pulled such a move during the IA debate, to stop Bernie's nomination.
2/12 Does this graph look scary to you? No? Let me explain what fabulously wealthy "public servants" who control the Democratic Party see in it that most ordinary voters don't.
🔥 Sanders was SURGING. Biden was FALLING, Buttigieg was FLAT. But above all ... Sanders was SURGING!
3/12
Scary part for powerful DNC insiders?
🔥 **Sanders was SURGING**
The fact that Biden was falling, and would potentially not even be viable in Iowa because he had less than 15% of voter support, was important too, in a just plain embarrassing kind of way.
