Nothing says "electable" like doubling down on praising Fidel Castro, twice in 72 hours.
If people are having a semantic debate about whether or not your positive assessment of Castro's literacy program constitutes "praise"...
you're losing.

Losing Florida.
Losing maybe 35 other states.
Losing the House of Representatives, too.
@SenSanders in post-debate spin, now quintupling down on praise for Fidel Castro's literacy program:

"Truth is truth. If you teach people to read, that's a good thing."
He uses the word dictatorship 3 times, "but he's done some good things."

This is crazy.
@SenSanders I am 100% supportive of @SenSanders campaign for president...

of Cuba.
@SenSanders Does anyone want to consider why the Castro dictatorship was so invested in education?
Try "re-education."

Whatever @SenSchumer meant, his threats are unhinged, outrageous, and counterproductive.
If Trump had said this about two judges, we'd be talking about high misdemeanors.

He should:
1. Apologize
2. Disown court packing.
2. Maybe resign as Minority Leader.
2/ Schumer is overrated anyway, now a liability.
He's been in Senate leadership for long enough.
Make @amyklobuchar or @SenatorDurbin Senate Majority Leader. Move @SenStabenow @ewarren @CoryBooker @MarkWarner @SenatorBaldwin @PattyMurray up the leadership ranks.
3/ To the many, many followers who are replying "Trump said worse" (and are saying worse back to me), you have sadly low standards for leadership, and honestly it is tragic what you've let Trump do to you.

Trump threatens judges. We shouldn't.

Signs of a bad night for @MikeBloomberg. Goodnight to his campaing.
He should drop out.

@ewarren should not.
She should persist to the end, for a few reasons:

1) She is no spoiler for either side. Her voters would split relatively evenly Bernie/non-Bernie:
@MikeBloomberg @ewarren 2) She has a message, and it's not the same as @BernieSanders or @JoeBiden.

I voted for Joe, but I'd be sad to have debates with just Bernie on the left and Biden in the middle. As a progressive, I want another progressive voice in those debates, not just the socialist.
@MikeBloomberg @ewarren @BernieSanders @JoeBiden 3) I want her to keep fighting.
If Mike stays in the race, I want her bashing him in every debate. Maybe that will drive him out of the race.

Don't be scared of her criticizing Joe or Bernie. They both deserve criticism and tough questions. She'll keep them sharp.

An indicted Netanyahu is running for his life today...
And it isn't even remotely front page news, partly because polls predict the same stalemate for a 3d time.

Except it turns out that Arab turnout is even bigger this time...
Maybe good news...
haaretz.com/israel-news/el…
As of 6 pm, "Voter turnout continues to be highest since 1999":
56.3%, 2.8% higher than in September election.

And this is despite a partial Coronavirus quarantine.
Ugh. Nevermind. Netanyahu probably won (can't block a coalition with these projections).

Bernie Sanders defends Fidel Castro and whitewashes his crimes like killing innocent Cubans & jailing political dissidents by praising a literacy program as if that evens it out. He’s a communist. He puts on a thin mask to disguise it but that’s who he is.
Very very few things enrage me. As the son of a Cuban immigrant who had to flee here with nothing but the clothes she was wearing, listening to a loony geriatric communist lying and making excuses for communist murderers does the trick. I will oppose this commie every way I can.
Just to be super clear, the "literacy" program Bernie is praising Fidel Castro for was actually a Marxist program to indoctrinate as many people as he possibly could with far left beliefs. Bernie likes it so much because he’d love to have a National Marxism education program too.

Okay, you want to talk about Bernie's...accomplishments?

Because on this thread...I KEEP RECEIPTS.

Are you ready? Here we go! #THREAD
Let's start with the fact that he's a longtime quiet supporter of the Military Industrial Complex. Something you Roses claim to hate: thedailybeast.com/bernie-sanders…
There was the time he was a guest of the Sandanista Government: yahoo.com/news/bernie-sa…

@StalinIsBack
1/8 My favorite #quote by #JosephStalin, which explains the scientific, #DialecticalMaterialist explanation of true freedom in material reality, not just as an abstract ideal. #StalinIsBack #StalinLives #JVStalin #Stalin #StalinQuote #StalinQuotes #Truth #MELS #MarxismLeninism
2/8 Having an #objective, #rational, #ScientificSocialist, #Dialectical, & #Materialist viewpoint allows us to accurately see & evaluate & analyze #Truth & #Reality as they truly materially exist in this universe.
3/8 An idealistic, dogmatic viewpoint, which capitalists have, however, makes one irrational enough to 'see' freedom where freedom stays trapped on a piece of paper while people are oppressed in their actual lived lives.

"Luis Almagro @Almagro_OEA2015 se atrevió a develar por fin el quid del asunto de la insoportable verdad que llevó al país a la más dura crisis y que tiene pasando hambre y viviendo en la miseria a millones de venezolanos, mientras otro tanto decidió mutar como extranjeros

THREAD: Do you feel it? Something shifting? Accelerating? This week I keep hearing @TimothyDSnyder in my head. #Tyranny is on the move.
1. This week, the FCC voted to end #NetNeutrality despite its popularity. This give away to ISP's is more concerning than the normal kleptocratic giveaways of this regime because it directly affects media and public discourse.
2. Of course, we all knew it was coming. I didn't even wait for the news yesterday because I knew. I knew from Pai's appointment and the sham call for comments that they hid & then hijacked. I knew when they dumped the news the wed. before thanksgiving. Yesterday was confirmation
