THREAD — OBAMA REASSURES THE DONOR CLASS

The Beltway establishment (GOP, corporate Dems, and elite media) are worried about the Too Far Left™ movement sparked by #Bernie.

So here comes Obama going after "certain left-leaning Twitter feeds..."

nymag.com/intelligencer/…
Here's the problem: The GOP is all about white supremacists and plutocrats, while the Democratic Party leadership is all about "let's all get along and make sure Chuck Todd and David Brooks like us."

So where does that leave the rest of America?

Screwed.
If we open our eyes for just a minute, we see a landscape of struggle, suffering, anguish, stress, fear.

We see rampant injustice, inequality, and violence.

HOW LONG WILL WE ACCEPT IT?

HOW LONG WILL WE LET THE ESTABLISHMENT NORMALIZE IT?
Saying "Americans are moderate than these wild leftists" is basically conceding that the far right propaganda machine has prevailed.

Because what the Too Far Left™ movement wants is fairness and equality. Health care, education, dignity for ALL people, not just oligarchs...
We are fighting for a (nonviolent) #NotMeUs political revolution because we're sick and tired of watching Washington trudge along, pretending to give a crap, while people SUFFER and DIE.

And we will not be silenced.

I'll end with this @BreeNewsome tweet:
