October 13, 2016: Five Senators sign a letter to Obama urging him to halt #DAPL construction which is headed towards Native American land:
Bernie Sanders, Patrick Leahy, Dianne Feinstein, Ed Markey, Ben Cardin.

No signature from Elizabeth Warren. sanders.senate.gov/download/lette…
October 28, 2016: Bernie Sanders sends a letter to Obama urging him to send Justice Dept observers to #StandingRock to protect the #DAPL protesters. "There are disturbing reports of officers using sound cannons, pepper spray and rubber bullets."

sanders.senate.gov/download/dapl-… #NoDAPL
December 4, 2016: Elizabeth Warren finally puts out a statement on #DAPL. She refers to the police brutality in the passive voice. facebook.com/senatorelizabe…
Warren: "What have they faced in response? Attack dogs. Rubber bullets. Tear gas. Water hoses in freezing temperatures. A 21-year-old graduate of Williams College in Massachusetts had her arm nearly destroyed."

// She doesn't say who did those things to the protesters.
Elizabeth Warren's solution for #DAPL is "an alternate route."

Bernie Sanders' solution is to stop the pipeline, #NoDAPL.

Cops mostly destroyed a #DAPL protester's left arm on Nov 20, 2016, with a concussion grenade.

Bernie Sanders had urged Obama to send observers to protect the protesters almost a month before.

Elizabeth Warren didn't issue a statement until 2 wks after that police brutality.
Emma Vigeland of #TYT on Elizabeth Warren in 2016 amid #DAPL protests:

"She shrinks in cowardice...I don't think she'd be that good of a leader."

Beto O’Rourke takes stage to Clash song “Clampdown.”

Big crowd standing in a street in El Paso. O’Rourke says he was born there. He says it represents America at its best; welcomes immigrants. Immigrants were called to contribute to success and they have.
O’Rourke praises El Paso’s Civil Rights and labor leaders.

He says it’s a safe city not despite immigrants but because of them.

He quotes MLK about a single garment of destiny.

He praises his teachers. He praises the business community.
“Not as a Democrat, not as a Republican, but as an El Pasoan.” - Beto O’Rourke on how he served on the City Council

He says as a Congressman he helped expand mental healthcare and turned around the VA.

They Are TDIP!

TDIP - pumps out daily ‘research’ briefings to prominent Washington journalists, as well as congressional staffers, to keep the Russia ‘collusion’ narrative alive.🤢💯🙄

TDIP is led by Daniel Jones, a former FBI investigator, Clinton administration volunteer and top staffer to California Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein. It employs the key opposition-research figures behind the salacious and unverified dossier!

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.

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.

Bernie Sanders in South Carolina: "Today we talk about justice and today we talk about racism. And I must tell you, it gives me no pleasure to tell you that we now have a president of the United States who is a racist."
Bernie Sanders: “We say to President Trump today: This country has suffered too long from discrimination. We are not going backwards. We are going forwards to a non-discriminatory society.”
Bernie Sanders: "Racism ... exists in this country today, and it exists when the median white family owns ten times more wealth than the median African American family."

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.
