#CAPrimary: One of the disasters this year is caused by the fact that LA and other counties cut polling stations by 90%. #CaliforniaPrimary #CAPrimary2020 #CaliforniaPrimary2020 #BernieSanders #Bernie2020
They were replaced by so-called “voting centers “ which anyone would know were deeply insufficient and unprepared — especially as #Bernie got out the word that you had to bring in your NPP ballot to exchange it for a Crossover Democratic ballot. #CAPrimary #CAPrimary2020
There's zero question about who was hurt: Regular Democrats tend to mail in their ballots. But most NPP independent voters, who widely favor #Bernie, could not mail in their ballots because they had to do the exchange. gregpalast.com/how-california… #CAPrimary #CAPrimary2020
Alex Padilla and the Democratic Party are by any measure worse than Brian Kemp when it comes to the sheer number of voters blocked. And the state will not give us info on numbers, completely refusing every request for basic public information. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

#Biden supporter California Secretary of State, #AlexPadilla, wins “Vote Suppressor of The Year.” By sheer numbers of ballots disqualified—with young and LatinX voters suppressed—Padilla makes Katherine Harris and Brian Kemp look like Thomas Jefferson. wsj.com/articles/calif…

#CAPrimary2020: How many hundreds of thousands of #BernieSanders votes will be lost in the avalanche of "provisional" ballots? theguardian.com/commentisfree/… #CAPrimary #CaliforniaPrimary #CaliforniaPrimary2020 #Bernie2020
In 2016, the state forced 1,307,190 voters to cast provisional ballots, 408,749 of those were rejected, a valid rejection rate equal to all other 49 states combined. gregpalast.com/bernie-won-cal… #CAPrimary #CaliforniaPrimary #CaliforniaPrimary2020
In '16, California vote chief Alex Padilla backed Hillary Clinton, now he's been campaigning for Joe Biden. The victims? LatinX and young voters. It's José Crow, Georgia with a bullet. gregpalast.com/how-california… #CAPrimary #CaliforniaPrimary #CAPrimary2020 #SuperTuesday

This ruling in #Wisconsin is a big tactical win, but the war against voter registration continues in Wisconsin and nationwide. thehill.com/regulation/cou…
The ruling allows state municipalities to use the poisonous purge list. The case was not dismissed based on a finding that the list was a Jim Crow partisan tactic by the GOP. The courts ruling was technical, procedural, and temporary. crooksandliars.com/2020/02/wiscon…
For that reason, my team of experts will continue to go through the purge list name by name, as this vicious list has already removed tens of thousands of voters in Wisconsin who will be surprised when they try to vote in April or November. gregpalast.com/election-crime…

#Bernie supporters on Reddit are taking the loss well. Calling voters in SC “rodents”, saying black voters in Southern States shouldn’t matter, and calling South Carolinians “uneducated.”

#SouthCarolinaPrimary
#BidenForPresident
#BernieSanders supporters are saying that black voters are “low information” and “voting against their interests” and “out of touch” and “are only voting for Biden because of Obama and not his policies”

#SouthCarolinaPrimary
#BernieSanders supporters:

“years of terrible education in the south due to racism have caused black voters to not get the education necessary to see that only Bernie can help them... it may be necessary mobilize and discourage certain Black voters from turning out.”

Secular Citizen for #Bernie2020 #NotMeUs
@secularcitizen2
When first finishing the academic portion of medicine and transitioning into the practical, hands-on part of the training, the physicians we trail all mock us for our enthusiastic nativity about the passion interns have toward making a difference.

1 / 11
Not for me, we all say. We're in this to save lives and make an impact on patients' lives. Both myself and so many others are reaching the stage of cynicism. It is disempowering to figure out that the patients you are passionate about work against you.

2 / 11
Whether it's physicians paying for patient's prescriptions, working long hours without pay to fight insurance companies, or searching for solutions and treatment providers willing to help patients, it's exhaustive work that takes us away from our personal lives.

#BERNIE SANDERS = THE MORAL CHOICE FOR PRESIDENT

It's been a long journey to reach that conclusion. Please hear me out.

My journey started in Beirut, where I grew up in a brutal civil war. Violence and injustice everywhere.

But today's America alarms me more than Beirut...
BERNIE SANDERS = THE MORAL CHOICE

In America today, children are stolen from their parents, locked in freezers, caged, gunned down in schools.

Billionaires get richer while children go hungry, homeless, and without healthcare.

A society that brutalizes children is BROKEN...
BERNIE SANDERS = THE MORAL CHOICE

When I quit my music career to become an anti-Bush activist at the turn of the millennium, it stunned me to see the Democratic Party, my party, largely go along with Bush's assault on civil liberties. Torture. War based on lies. Patriot Act...

When I “officially” endorsed #Bernie2020, the campaign asked for a “short” statement for a graphic.

I'm wordy; wrote a whole page. Oops.🤓

It’s hard to distill why I believe so strongly in this #BigUS movement & @BernieSanders, but I’d like to share my attempt.

A thread...
(1)
@BernieSanders The part of my statement that made it on the #BernieSanders graphic boils down to one word:

TRUST

Bernie’s stances are grounded in principled judgment, proven to be right & just for decades. His policies prove to be successful when enacted. I know who he'll be once elected.
(2)
@BernieSanders My passion & purpose is #PublicEducation, so my endorsement is also rooted in that.

#Bernie’s full platform - from #MedicareForAll to #CriminalJusticeReform - will have profound positive impacts on students, communities, and the ed profession, in both direct & indirect ways.

WHY?

There's only ONE 2020 campaign that has welcomed me, embraced me, and made me feel part of something bigger:

#BernieSanders

Why is that? Why is team #Bernie so welcoming, especially after my harsh criticism of him in 2016?
Yes, I know it's not about me. But as a citizen and voter, I find it odd that campaigns and candidates I've supported and praised have done ZERO to draw me in, while #Bernie2020 has been encouraging, sharing, welcoming.

Is that why he has the largest movement?
And to elaborate:

I'm looking to help grow a major, sustained, dedicated, progressive movement to defeat rightwing extremists.

Not that interested in fealty to an individual candidate.

What I'm finding with the #Bernie campaign is that there is a genuine movement behind it.

@EricHolder has asked an important question:

#When was #America #ever #great?

I realize that there is a nearly unavoidable tendency to snort and spew one's coffee when they hear or read his question for the first time. But, honestly, isn't it worth the exercise to answer it?
So, @EricHolder, I'm going to do just that, and I'm going to ask my ragtag bag of followers and detractors to contribute as well.

I'm going to offer my evidence of moments of American greatness. And I'm going to ask those that read this thread to do the same.
But wait!

There's more!

I'm going to ask my detractors and antagonists (are you seeing this @fedupaton) to contribute as well, and will welcome from them both moments of greatness and moments of shame.
