Every candidate (there are way too many of them) is in the middle compared with @BernieSanders. The question is whether Bernie is too big a risk.
@ewarren is the middle ground between the other candidates and Bernie.
But will voters see that by Super Tuesday?
Time's running out.
@BernieSanders @ewarren As for @realDonaldTrump or anyone else who retaliates against those who report wrongdoing. This message is for you: You are going down. And you are going down hard.
@BernieSanders @ewarren Yes @realDonaldTrump is a con man. He's like the Music Man who traveled through the Midwest conning families of their hard earned dollars promising to put together a band for their children, only to skip town.

Do we ever learn?
It's time to bring him down.

Perv Patrol says it’s time for Gym Jordan to resign. Coaches and university department heads who ignore bad conduct should be fired, not sent to Congress.

Former Ohio State University wrestler calls out GOP Rep. Jim Jordan: "It’s just going to get worse" salon.com/2020/02/15/for…
If coach Jordan can’t even bother to find out what’s going on in the team locker room, why would voters send him to Washington to conduct oversight of what’s going on in the entire executive branch? That’s nuts.
Would a sane university administration reappoint a department head or coach who looked the other way from obvious misconduct. No — unless they want to get sued. Why would voters want to send such a man to Congress?
@Jim_Jordan?

1932
FDR (57.41% of the vote) was not a socialist.
Norman Thomas (2.23% of the vote) was a socialist.
2020
@ewarren is not a socialist....

Norman Thomas Says No -- That What Roosevelt Has Done Is To Lay the Foundations for a Structure of State Capitalism nyti.ms/1HfeXBG
@ewarren I agree with the 57.41% of Americans who in 1932 supported the New Deal of FDR. I disagree with the 2.23% who supported the socialism of Norman Thomas.
What would have happened if the Democrats had nominated Thomas?
Don't know.
Don't want to find out.
I'm voting @ewarren.
@ewarren Norman Thomas, to his credit, kept his shirt on at all times and stayed sober whenever he was around the Soviets.

We should have learned our lesson 4 years ago.
It is embarrassing, to say the least, when a major party nominates a man who fantasizes about rape to run for the White House.
It's even more embarrassing -- and disastrous for our Country -- when he wins.

nytimes.com/2016/10/08/us/…
With the bar this low, all the Democrats need to do is nominate someone who does not fantasize about rape and they will have nominated someone better than @realDonaldTrump.
Easy question:
Would you feel safe alone with this man in the dressing room of Bergdorf Goodman?
If not, don't date him. Don't work for him.
And don't elect him president, either.

Welcome to the ninth #DemDebate live tweet! If you are too depressed by democracy to stand this, now would be a good time to mute me for 24 hours.
Appearing tonight:
- Pete Buttigieg 😒
- Bernie Sanders 😕
- Elizabeth Warren 😁
- Amy Klobuchar ☹️
- Joe Biden 🤢
- Mike Bloomberg 🤮

Yang dropped out and Steyer did not qualify.
The pre-debate hosts have already talked about Klobuchar's "momentum" and Bloomberg's "appeal to moderates" and somebody has said "what happens in Vegas doesn't stay in Vegas" and it's a good thing I don't drink because I would already be dead.

Thread #1: He is a #ZEALOT who gets nothing done and is #UNELECTABLE. #BernieSanders

Thread #2: He not only is #NotADemocrat, he HATES US. #BernieSanders #NotADemocrat

Stealing California from #Bernie — again? gregpalast.com/stealing-calif… #BernieSanders #Bernie2020 #BernieSanders2020 #CAprimary
I saw what happened to #Bernie in 2016. People were improperly registered, not registered. There were three quarters of a million ballots which were cast provisionally or on the wrong ballot, which were thrown out. gregpalast.com/stealing-calif… #BernieSanders #Bernie2020
It was mostly #Bernie votes that were thrown out. We know that from the Roper Poll. #BernieSanders won California in June, 2016, if you counted all the votes… gregpalast.com/bernie-won-cal…

Democrats Against Anti-Semitism
@DemAntisemitism
⬇️⬇️⬇️THREAD ON #BERNIESANDERS ANTI-SEMITISM⬇️⬇️⬇️
Sanders may be ethnically Jewish, but his rhetoric, voting history and associations have not reflected the values of a friend of Jewish people, but rather, the values of a coddler of anti-Semitic, racist and sexist bullies and villains.
Before starting this thread, we must clarify that being Jewish does not excuse one from anti-Semitism or connotations with hatred. Bernie supporters who cry “but he’s Jewish!!!” as a defense also (rightly) believe Stephen Miller and Max Naumann are anti-Semites, don’t they?

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.
