The Sanders people will see Buttigieg’s sudden exit from the race as behind-the-scenes maneuvering by Dem establishment to bolster Biden. If Klobuchar follows after Super Tuesday, the Sanders camp will likely be in full conspiracy mode—and for good reason.
Sanders has blow-out fundraising numbers and still has the grassroots mojo. But Biden will he propped up by the anti-Sanders powers-that-be like Weekend at Bernie’s (not Sanders) to try to get him to July convention. Then Trump will crush him in November.
Just imagine Biden on a debate stage with Trump. And that’s still six months away. It’s inconceivable why Dems continue to think Biden is their best shot.

Provisions of FISA are set to expire this month. Some GOP lawmakers and AG Bill Barr want a clean renewal without reforms. But aside from lame bureaucratic fixes offered by Wray, no one has been held legally or publicly accountable for the Page FISAs... amgreatness.com/2020/03/05/wit…
“Every institution tasked with safeguarding this process has violated the public’s trust. The FBI, the court itself, the Senate, and yes, Barr’s Justice Department have failed to restore that trust despite plenty of time and opportunity to do so.” No one has accepted blame.
No one has apologized to @carterwpage. No one has apologized to the American public for breaking our trust. There’s a better argument for shutting down FISC than attempting to fix it. The FBI lied to FISC—the court failed to do its job by carefully vetting the evidence.

Here’s an example of the Beltway aristocracy’s stupidity on Afghanistan:

“It is essential that the US sign a separate pact with Afghanistan’s government. It is essential that that agreement specifies what criteria must be met and what conditions... project-syndicate.org/commentary/tru…
must exist before US troop withdrawals would proceed. It is essential that the US promise to provide the Afghan government with long-term economic, diplomatic, intelligence, and military support.”

No, @RichardHaass. You guys had your chance. You blew it. No one should listen.
LOL “Such a strategy would require keeping several thousand troops in the country to continue to build and train the Afghan security forces. For some, this would be too expensive. But...it would be a price worth paying.” You’d think failures would be less smug but no.

“The war in Afghanistan is a catastrophic failure by every measure. It should cast a permanent shadow of shame over those who continued to promote it despite evidence for years that it was a disaster with no hope of a positive outcome.”

Time to leave: amgreatness.com/2020/03/02/get…
With the exception of Trump and @RandPaul, the war has been ignored by the political class. Six soldiers dead in 2020 already. Almost 2,400 killed and 20,000 wounded since 2001. $1 trillion in US tax dollars and counting. And the country is in chaos while opiate trade thrives.
Peace deal or not, Trump needs to order our troops home without delay. Not one more young life, grievous injury, or US tax dollar is worth it.

Yeah, this is where I think a lot of Bernie fans are going wrong. He stands a better chance of getting a windfall from her the longer she stays in.

Whereas if she drops out, Biden has a clearer path past Bernie.
The idea that she's siphoning progressive votes away from Bernie assumes that everybody is voting on a very simplistic, one-dimensional decision-making process. It also ignores the fact that Bernie's votes consist mainly of (1) his base and (2) new voters he mobilizes.
Her policies are progressive but her sales pitch is aimed more at the center. Her presence in the race grows the progressive vote and gets people who might otherwise vote for Biden looking to the left.

It’s my birthday.

Instead of asking you to vote for @ewarren or donate to the @ACLU (which you should still do), I’m going to share 33 things I've learned about business in life. Maybe it will help someone and/or should at least inspire lols.
1. What you loved as a kid is probably what you should be doing now. Not professionally necessarily, but because it will fill your soul. Take a music lesson, dance around your house, paint a picture, read about space exploration, volunteer. Our “purpose” is to enjoy our lives.
2. The more sure I have been about a “sure thing” the harder it has come crashing down. Marriage, jobs, plans for the future. I said I would never get a corporate job. I said would never move out of Boston. I said I would never have kids. So glad I was wrong about it all.

My poll to address the fake poll on Monday that gave #Biden a 32pt lead but then turned that just mean 180 people has closed. The poll was for 50 and under.

Here are the results:
Harris 39%
Buttigieg 38%
Warren 32%
Castro 23%
Klobuchar 21%
Beto 18%
Bernie 16%
Biden 13%
1/
The poll is still up so you can see the results.
Just under 24k people voted.
There were several hundred write-ins, nearly half of which were @AndrewYang. Also getting write-ins: Inslee, Tulsi, Swalwell, Williamson, Gillibrand, Booker.
It was a good poll.
Thank you so much.

The function was to point out that people 50 and under who mostly do not have cell phones are not being repped in these national polls. And also that those small samplings of 400 or 50 people are not representative.

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.

{thread} Today, 22 years ago, after a very long, challenging, and arduous journey fraught with disappointment and betrayal, I became a part of videogame history.

My first game, BATTLECRUISER 3000AD (BC3K) was commercially released by its then publisher.
Back then, marketing promos were focused on print media advertising, shows (E3, GDC etc) as well as extortionate shenanigans by the top retailers who made publishers pay a premium for end cap space in order to sell games in stores. Especially during Christmas holiday season.
This was all before the advent of mainstream digital distribution; and in a time when we still shipped games on floppy disks and CD-ROM.

A time when the most we fought about were games, and not all this other stuff that permeates social media discourse around our games.
