Republicans had the White House and both Houses of Congress for 2 years and accomplished two main things:

- Give a tax cut to themselves and their rich friends
- Cut social services for the poor

Democrats NEED to remind people of this in their message during the 2020 election.
There's a reason why Republicans are constantly trying to change the subject. Stop letting them.

Republicans will spend this election painting anyone trying to help people as a socialist, but the focus has to remain on how much GOP greed is hurting anyone who isn't already rich.

Thread: Ppl tend to forget how pervasive the war on the poor is. They also make the mistake of viewing class warfare as a separate issue from Trump's rise. But politicians like him can't truly be challenged w/o challenging the system they use to maintain power in the first place.
Not only do gerrymandering and voter suppression not get a fraction of foreign election interference's coverage, only the latter is referred to as an "attack on democracy" by the media. The silencing of minorities and the poor may not be news, but it doesn't mean it isn't real...
"In never before published memos and emails, GOP leaders come clean: Their nationwide advantage in state legislatures and Congress is built on gerrymandering. And top Republican strategists and political operatives admit to weaponizing racial data..."

Nixon was a raging anti-Semite and a racist whose policies regularly targeted Black people.

You cannot hate Black Americans and Jewish Americans and still "genuinely care" for America.

You also don't need to prop up one bad man to call out another. Please STOP revising history.
Nixon sabotaged peace talks with Vietnam to win an election. No one who "genuinely cared for this country" would've done this.

"Nixon had competent advisors"

His own policy advisors admit that many of their policies were racist.

Trump is a horrible president, but there's absolutely no good reason to absolve past presidents of their sins to prove it. Doing so suggests that their victims never mattered.

While this administration is moving to take away lunches from 500 000 kids in need, I'd just like to remind everyone that:

- 40% of all food in America goes to waste.
- America's military budget is higher than the rest of the G7 countries COMBINED.
- The war on the poor is real.
This is what class warfare looks like.

"A nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual doom" - Martin Luther King Jr

1. The 18-34 demographic that @BernieSanders seems to dominate is the historic demographic of revolutionaries. Pragmatically speaking, Bernie likely won't win @TheDemocrats nomination and has not indicated that he will encourage his supporters to support the Democrat's nominee.
2. For the old folks who are likely to vote for @JoeBiden to insure the White House is freed from Kremlin control, we need to commit to bringing that demographic along with us in the election and hopefully when the Democrats control the White House and both houses of Congress
3. Health Care, corruption, fair markets and relief for student debt are issues all Democrats agree must be addressed. And though I support Joe Biden I support a single payer health care system and will work to see it become a reality when the Democrats win and I will support

The last lawfully ratified state constitution of Pennsylvania is 1838. All the state constitutions after 1860 are NOT lawfully ratified because #Congress collapse on November 1860 when the southern nations seceded. I will remind everyone we are still under martial law since 1861.
Martial law was never lifted, there were never any peace treaties with the Independent Southern Nations after the international war of 1861. This prevented to restore congress of the southern nations & northern nations. Below I will tweet the preamble and Article I.

 Constitution of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania -1838.

WE, The People of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Ordain and Establish this Constitution for its Government.

THREAD: 2020 is an important election cycle, possibly the most important of our time. However, in context, we may only a third of the way through the realignment of American politics. The following is a play in five acts for this realignment. 1/
Before we start, this is a hypothesis, which, as I know, can explode into many pieces as reality plays out. I am a student, though not a scholar, of American history, love my country, and am enamored with her politics. 2/
That said, it's (I think...) a hopeful view for managing through the American political and governing crisis at hand. Our politics will unfold in acts, but the transition will be seen as the acts are revealed. 3/

Two things I'm holding right now:
1. The very real possibility that the GOP will retain both houses of Congress & critical statehouses tomorrow
2. Gratitude for the heart and hope and sheer joy visible in so many campaigns across the country
A colleague Slacked this tweet, with the note "Look at this field joy." Seriously, look at it!
Watch John Lewis dancing last Thursday—and everyone in the room dancing along with him.
