@tomclash @JillWeintraub @BernieSanders @WorkingFamilies @Datoism They've endorsed a woman who likely hasn't ever heard of WFP, certainly not back when Bernie was supporting their positions. If they want to back a candidate who promises to take corporate money in the GE, that's their right but it does make me question if these are the same...
@tomclash @JillWeintraub @BernieSanders @WorkingFamilies @Datoism ...people I found myself in agreement with these past several decades or are there those among their leadership who have been seduced by the call of big money as we've seen with Democratic leadership over these past 3-4 decades?
@tomclash @JillWeintraub @BernieSanders @WorkingFamilies @Datoism As a person who was 1st involved in leftist causes as a teenager in the 60's with parents who followed MLK and believed in ALL his principles-not just de-segregation, I've seen more than my share of how movements get infiltrated by those who would see our causes defeated...
@tomclash @JillWeintraub @BernieSanders @WorkingFamilies @Datoism ...and I can't help but wonder if we're seeing that in this case. Warren supporters do not strike me as inherently different from Obama supporters-those who, in theory, support progressive causes but can't be bothered to be involved once the election is over. I know she is...
@tomclash @JillWeintraub @BernieSanders @WorkingFamilies @Datoism ...widely hated but the most important thing @SusanSarandon said during the 2016 campaign was that Obama left the grass roots on the White House lawn. I feel almost certain we will see the same with Warren should she make it to the White House. I wonder if she has any...
@tomclash @JillWeintraub @BernieSanders @WorkingFamilies @Datoism @SusanSarandon ...understanding of what we hear @SenSanders says when he tells us he will not be able to get his policies passed but that the work of getting true left policies passed will have to come from the people. I doubt it. The last time we saw an involved public that able to drive...
@tomclash @JillWeintraub @BernieSanders @WorkingFamilies @Datoism @SusanSarandon @SenSanders big ideas into reality was the 1960's when the civil rights act, voting rights act Medicare were passed into law. One big difference between now and then was we had a very different national media. It will take far more work, now, from the bottom up to even get our messages out.
@tomclash @JillWeintraub @BernieSanders @WorkingFamilies @Datoism @SusanSarandon @SenSanders Is there any indication that Warren supporters would be willing to put in the blood, sweat, tears, work it would take to drive a hidebound media into even covering issues like that? Moreover, is there any indication Warren would come to the people to ask their help to defeat...
@tomclash @JillWeintraub @BernieSanders @WorkingFamilies @Datoism @SusanSarandon @SenSanders ...the GOP and the centrists who stand in the way of passing laws the public wants? She seems to be a technocrat who believes in the power of a bunch of people like her to sit in a room and 'find common ground,' in order to pass laws that seem to give 'both sides' something...
@tomclash @JillWeintraub @BernieSanders @WorkingFamilies @Datoism @SusanSarandon @SenSanders but neither side anything that much changes the status quo in terms of how people experience them in their actual lives.
