Thank you #YangGang - let’s make history in 2020!! 👍🥊🎉 Thanks to you we have the resources to go ALL THE WAY.
If we went from $2.8 million to $10 million in the 3rd quarter what will we do in the 4th quarter? That is the fun of this campaign - the sky is the limit. 😀👍
Other campaigns are plateauing or contracting while we are growing quickly. The excitement rises every day. Our rate of growth makes all things possible - including our winning the general election next year.
It wouldn’t be possible without you all doing the work, phonebanking, initiating conversations and reaching out to people every single day. I can’t tell you how grateful I am to you all for embracing this campaign and making it what it is. Thank you for being so human. 🙏
Money loses in politics all of the time. Passion wins.

I understand the spirit and appeal of a wealth tax. It makes sense that those who enjoy vast fortunes should pay back into the system, particularly given the concentrations of wealth in our winner-take-all economy. But the implementation would be impractical and problematic.
First, in many cases it’s hard to come to a proper value of assets. Intellectual property, goodwill, illiquid family businesses, and speculative investments may be tough to find comparables for.
Second, many of the truly wealthy would take giant steps to avoid an annual inventory of their assets to the government. This would include even adjusting their marital status and/or legal guardianship to divide assets among family members to fall below taxable thresholds.

Given the President’s latest actions I think impeachment is the right path forward. Asking foreign leaders for political help in return for aid and then suppressing your own agency’s inquiry is egregious. There have to be limits and Congress is right to act.
A reminder that successful impeachment requires a majority vote in the House and then two-thirds in the Senate. Given that there are 53 Republican Senators one would need 20 of them to support impeachment to be successful. That is highly unlikely unless there is some huge shift.
Still I agree that moving forward is for the best. It will enable a more thorough investigation that may unearth new details. And it is an appropriate use of Congressional authority as established in the Constitution. Sometimes you do the right thing independent of politics.

Shane - I prefer comedy that makes people think and doesn’t take cheap shots. But I’m happy to sit down and talk with you if you’d like.
For the record, I do not think he should lose his job. We would benefit from being more forgiving rather than punitive. We are all human.
I’ve been called chink and gook any number of times in my life. It can be extraordinarily hurtful to feel like you are somehow not part of the only country you have ever known. I have certainly felt that - the churning sense of alienation, anger and marginalization.

Thanks to Jeffrey from @DemsAbroad for the following explanation about the differences of voting absentee with your state vs. voting with the Democrats Abroad in the democratic primaries. You can choose either:

Hi there,
As a US citizen living abroad, you have three options...
...when it comes to participating in Primaries.

1. Vote in your state/local party primary in the Spring/Summer 2020.

Some states require that you register/declare a party affiliation before an election, and some have deadlines for this registration. Usually...
...you can vote for Presidential candidates, as well as state/local primary candidates (depends on the state and if you check off "intend to return" on the registration form). You can do this by going to votefromabroad.org to submit your form...

#yanggang : I’ve been training as a crisis text counselor and I’m amazed at how effective the communication techniques I’ve learned have been in dealing with online political discussion. A thread of tips:
1. When someone comes at you with anger, validate their feelings without assuming. “Sounds like..., seems like..., I’m hearing..., etc” are called tentifiers and they work wonders
2. Use strong feeling words instead of mad, upset, sad. Example: “It sounds like you’re feeling defeated by the political climate” or “It sounds like you’re overwhelmed by the problems in our society.

»#YuriBezmenov may well go down in history as a #saint by the #survivors of the generations to come.

His statements about the global “#communist agenda” offers an opportunity for students of #history, #philosophy and #economics - world wide - to take note of #reality and to
..
.. reflect on the identity of their intellectual enemy, the dynamics of #capitalism in economics, and the role of #violence in politics.

Firstly, what is the “western identity”? From my understanding .. the #western identity has been shaped primarily by what it has resisted:
..
..
namely monarchic #despotism, authoritative #collectivism, and the infringement on the sovereignty of the #individual. You can even say that, to an extent, #Christianity itself followed from an already existing identity (i.e. the #Socratic divination of the individual).

Yesterday I gave a brief introduction about #WardleyMapping at a Scrum community event in Munich. As it's currently strong beer time, I used a simple brewery example.
So let's say we are a brewery and attempt to map our main product - the beer - from a customer's perspective. The customer becomes the anchor and he craves a bottle of our beer.
To create a bottle of beer you definitely need two more components: a bottle and beer. As we are a pretty big brewery (thanks to avid Bavarian drinkers!) we put those components into the quite industrialised space already. We make our own beer and we buy standardised beer bottles

History lesson THREAD:

In 1607 the American first settlers arrived in Jamestown. They operated under a system called mercantilism - a sort of mixed socialist/capitalist economy.

Private businesses made a profit, but operated for the advancement of the state.
The colonists set up a common storehouse of food. They were supposed to produce what they could, and take what they needed.

In short order, the whole damn thing collapsed.

People noticed their neighbors weren't working as hard, but were reaping the same benefits.
Half of the colonists starved to death in two years.

NOW: Here's where history is about to repeat itself in America.

You've seen the #YangGang hashtag pop up. Some people are ironically supporting Yang - but others are quite serious.
