In between Bolton bombs, I did two threads on intentional efforts on the left to divide the party and benefit Trumpists. I did not get to @AOC , but I did touch on Jill Stein, Ralph Nader and Bernie.
Meet Ralph Nader, never too old to be an asshole.
And of course Jill Stein. No shame in using your womanhood and "liberal" credentials to help Trump beat @HillaryClinton , right?
@HillaryClinton Oops, that was a thread on Bernie. Here's the Jill Stein thread.

I want to expand on this point for a moment. The horrifying falsehood of "Government is the problem." A thread. @ericgarland a nod for your inspiration.
Back in the day, the previous (before Trump) hero of modern Republicanism said: "Government is not the solution to our problem, government is the problem." IN HIS F'N INAUGURAL ADDRESS.
If you are not a loathsome traitor, this is hard to square with Lincoln's Gettysburg Address: "that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom—and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth. (F Reagan)

It's impossible not to think about Jill Stein when discussing Ralph Nader's op to destroy Al Gore. Jill Stein also ran for the Green Party. She also hurt HRC on both vote totals and attacks from the left. thehill.com/blogs/blog-bri…
Any sane person asking WHY would a supposedly liberal woman run a campaign that favored Trump over HRC? There's only two answers: 1) she's completely oblvious; 2) she intended to harm HRC. Spoiler alert - she intended harm.
And just this week, she tripled down with harm: falsely equating dems and trump on warmongering; falsely equating dems and Trump the environment; and (ffs) "yes we're doomed.

Huddle 'round ye fans of @SenSanders @TulsiGabbard ; You despise American failure to address climate change; you hate the endless wars. I DO TOO. This thread will tell an important story.
The year is 2000 and Al Gore (D) is the D up against George W. Bush (the 2nd Bush) for POTUS. You have no doubt heard of Al Gore - VP to B. Clinton, climate change activist. Harvard educated, he still enlisted in the viet nam era army.
Al Gore was the first American politician to raise global warming - back in 1989 on NPR and in the NYT - that's when I remember first becoming aware of the risk. Gore made that his life's first mission and a central plank in his 2000 Campaign. npr.org/2015/12/28/461…

Bernie admits that HE KNEW the Kremlin was using the emails to divide the left, yet he stood by & watched in silence as his most visible surrogates spread Kremlin propaganda. He tweeted support to Trump voters 3 days before we voted

“of course we knew"
Bernie’s answer when asked by Ari Melber

“Well of course we knew that. Of course we knew that they were trying to cause divisiveness within the Democratic Party"

Bernie didn't tell his supporters that. He stood silent & allowed his surrogates to mock

This video of Nina Turner is from October 31, 2016, 8 days before we voted. Bernie made her President of Our Revolution

Sanders' 2020 campaign co-chair made it clear that she did not support the 2016 Dem nominee.

FOR THOSE WHO ASK:

I'm a Lebanese-American boy,
Turned war refugee,
Turned child conscript,
Turned NYU philosophy student,
Turned 90s remixer/keyboardist,
Turned anti-Bush protestor
Turned progressive blogger,
Turned Dem strategist,
Turned increasingly left & anti-establishment.
I feel warmly welcomed by the left, specifically #Bernie supporters. Which is so gratifying considering how intensely we battled in 2016.

But for those who don't know my netroots activism during the Bush-Cheney era, moving left is coming home for me. It's where I started.
And for those who ask: No, I'm not saying positive things about #Bernie to later try to convince people to back #Warren.

Yes, I like Warren, but I am increasingly drawn to the power and solidarity of the #NotMeUs movement. We will NEVER defeat the far right without mass action.

She's a Bernie surrogate doing his dirty work

On the Democratic debate stage to divide & cause chaos

What do Gabbard & Sanders have in common?

Why are she and Bernie Sanders so close?

She's establishment ... far right wing establishment

She voted for the Iraq war and

Tulsi Gabbard joined the military within a month after W Bush declared war on Iraq on March 19, 2003

Why is she glued to Bernie Sanders?

🌎Donald Trump—🌪️Roger Stone—🔥Paul Manafort—🌬️Roy Cohn
There are so many connections between these four gentlemen, but the common thread between them all appears to be Roger Stone.

washingtonpost.com/graphics/2018/…
🔪But Stone’s rules: “Attack, attack, attack—never defend” and “Admit nothing, deny everything, launch counterattack.” This “advice” came via renowned attorney Roy Cohn, who represented Donald Trump late in Cohn’s life.

vanityfair.com/news/2017/06/d…
🌬️Cohn’s "original" 3-dimensional strategy via @vanityfair article: 1. Never settle, never surrender. 2. Counter-attack, counter-sue immediately. 3. No matter what happens, no matter how deeply into the muck you get, claim victory and never admit defeat.”
