This Putin’s Revenge doco on SBS is somewhat ridiculous. Somehow the media reporting in 2016 that the DNC emails showed the Democratic establishment had actually shafted Bernie Sanders was, really, all about Putin...
I cannot imagine why Ryan and McConnell struggled to trust John Brennan...Hillary was a terrible candidate. Putin did not force the Democrats to nominate Hillary
Apparently Hillary’s health and her collapsing in plain sight in NYC were also a Russian plot ... American liberalism has been broken by Trump.
The unspoken shock at the uniparty establishment being rejected in 2016....why would any sane person think these incompetent cretins should be trusted?
Western nations should be hyper-vigilant against national security threats from China, Russia, Iran etal....Western electorates’ disgust with their cretinous ‘elites’ is entirely justified & requires no Putin ex machina

Good short explainer on Kurdish history & independence. Also note that next year is the 100th anniversary of Sevres treaty in which we Allies esp the British promised the Kurds a referendum for Kurdish self determination (Churchill supported the Kurds)

I found in the archives this Times (UK) 31 July 2006 profile of the late Senator John McCain and his most admirable family of serving sailors and Marines. Note this incredible statistic of dynastic political corruption, which one suspects only got worse since 2006
My google search for this piece also produced this *August 2008* story re Hunter Biden’s ‘entrepreneurial’ activities amid his father’s lawmaking office holding....I am sure this was all above board as well.

Will simply say, again, that when Caesar marched on Rome, a good century of dynastic political corruption and plundering of the Republic’s offices meant that Caesar, even with his legions, was always pushing at an open door, due to popular disgust with the status quo

Long, thoughtful, fascinating exploration of #Bernie's history. This narrative makes Bernie immensely more accessible and even likeable. His long financial origin story is quintessentially American in its working-class to riches trajectory.

I've written about #Sanders over the years and like most leftists, thought his politics were an essential prod to others in Congress. But there are details of his political history here that #Bernie should be pushing instead of hiding: like that he was a Harvard fellow.

#Sanders is often presented as s spendthrift, but what propelled #Bernie from 3-term mayor of tiny Burlington into the House was his fiscal responsibility. He literally was deemed the Republican Trotskyite while mayor for reeling in spending and building the city's coffers.

Been dancing around this take because I *do* think Sanders can win (one of the more likely nominees IMO). But was time to write it because I think people are wimps and overcompensating for 2016:

#Actually, Bernie's polling isn't that good. 🔥🔥🔥

Sanders is polling at ~20% nationally with ~100% name recognition. Slightly higher in NH but slightly worse in Iowa. Historically, candidates in a similar position don't have a great track record. (3 for 15 in winning nominations, or 20%).
Sanders's favorability/unfavorability ratings have varied a lot from poll to poll. But on average, they're in the upper-middle part of the pack, not at the top. Biden's negatives are lower and candidates like Buttigieg and Harris have better ratings adjusted for name recognition.

Hey just a quick public service announcement.

Making the 2020 comversation about the online behavior of a candidates supporters mostly serves to move the conversation about bigger issues like policy and fitness for office.

#BERNIE THREAD /1
At the risk of sounding condescending I feel like there are 4 things we should ask in this primary.

1. What are your policies ?

2. Are you proposing them in good faith?

3. Will you be effective in implimenting them?

4. are you fit for office?

This needs unpacking...

.../2
So the hardest questions are 2-4.

Whether a politician is seen as operating in good faith is often tied to whether we think a politician is "authentic."

This shit is huuuuuuugely sexist and priveledges men over women.

I have a few things to say about this piece that just dropped...

Why the #Bernie Movement Must Crush #BetoORourke
nymag.com/intelligencer/…
The insistence by white male writers that there is a two-white-man race out there between Bernie & Beto is so deeply, stunningly misogynist, it takes my breath away.

How is it POSSIBLE that these folks missed the blue wave which was fundamentally female--driven by women voters?
Not just driven by women voters, but driven by women candidates. Left-leaning women candidates, including WOC who ousted long-time older white male incumbents like....Bernie Sanders.

How is anyone missing this fact?
It's a major reason why Sanders' numbers have plummeted.

Re: today's events:
In February, Mueller released information clarifying how and why #Putin desperately wanted to stop #HillaryClinton from being elected.

Trump, Bernie Sanders, and Jill Stein were helped by Russian election interference  vox.com/policy-and-pol…
In #Helsinki, #Putin stated directly that he worked to elect Trump. His intent was to stop #HillaryClinton. He tried to effectuate that during the primary by targeting Sanders supporters. Putin could not sway non-white voters despite his broad disinformation campaign against HRC.
But even though #Putin was unable to win the primary, he WAS able to plant the seeds of disinformation quite strongly. That included the parroting of #HillaryClinton being "corrupt," which Sanders and Trump had hammered (without evidence) repeatedly. (Details are in the report.)
