THE FUTURE

I can't stress enough:

@AOC and other Squad members are beacons of light for progressives.

And there are a number of equally principled, promising candidates across the country. @leeladaou and I have been advising a number of them and are working hard to elect them.
Here are a few to support:

@RebeccaforWA
@LindseyBoylan
@DarrigoMelanie
@anthonyvclark20
@NabilahforGA07
@JamaalBowmanNY
@Shaniyat2020
@MeetMckayla
@BriannaWu
@ihssaneleckey
@ShahidForChange
@remmons2020

There are many others, and I'll keep adding in this thread...
More:

@JENFL23
@MelforProgress
@Arati4Congress
@RussForUs2020
@Oseguera2020
@EvaPutzova

I'll keep adding to the list...

THREAD — THE DARK SIDE OF #VoteBlueNoMatterWho

Polls show an overwhelming majority of #Bernie supporters would vote for #Biden over Trump.

As for me, I've never voted for (or donated to) a Republican in my entire life. And I never will. It's a party of rightwing extremism.
Given the choice of Biden or Trump, I'd vote for Biden in a heartbeat.

That said, unthinkingly supporting anyone who puts a D next to their name is a recipe for moral and electoral disaster.

It is how the establishment maintains power and prevents change.

Don't fall for it...
In my 20 years in politics, the SAME Dem leaders, including #Biden and #Pelosi, have utterly failed to stop the march of GOP dominance/extremism.

They went along with Bush's war crimes, then rehabilitated his image. They have been dangerously inept against Trump and his cronies.

THREAD -- ON #BIDEN'S STATE OF MIND

I don't believe in armchair diagnosis and I've avoided discussing Biden's mental state.

But Dems MUST acknowledge attack lines against potential nominees.

With #Bernie, it's socialism.

With Biden, it's that he's not well enough to be POTUS.
A cursory look at rightwing media indicates #Biden's mental state is Hillary's emails. (It's NOT Burisma, though that will also be an attack.) And the corporate media will amplify it if Biden is the nominee, just as they did with Hillary's health. EVERY slip-up will be magnified.
Every testy exchange will be played and replayed if #Biden is the nominee. Every pause, every bungled phrase, every instance of forgetfulness, no matter how innocent.

Trump will be prepped to goad Biden at debates into slipping up.

Dems MUST be ready for what's coming.

#AOC - “It’s a physical impossibility to lift yourself up by a bootstrap, by your shoelaces”

#AOC - And why do people keep telling me to keep reaching for the stars?

Don’t you know, stars are hundreds of miles away in the sky! It is a physical impossibility to be able to touch the stars. Duh!
#AOC - People on Twitter keep saying I’m not the sharpest knife in the drawer.

Well, duh! I’m not a knife. I’m a person. And it’s a physical impossibility for a person to be a knife.

#claddingscandal

In a week where British political parties seem to be pledging billions, why are 17,000 households in Britain *still* living with dangerous flammable cladding - where are the pledges to fix this crisis, & fast?

@mhclg @LabourSJ @sajidjavid @ChukaUmunna @ukcag
“There is an extreme level of anxiety. There are elderly people, people with babies, who are constantly worried about what happens if fire breaks out in the middle of the night..This has come at huge financial cost to all of us..People are reaching breaking point.”: @ukcag
2.5 years after Grenfell, there seems to be no urgency or appetite to resolve this #claddingscandal.

Last night, a new fire in Bolton at student accommodation. Thankfully it seems no serious injury.

What will it take to wake up this govt? @mhclg

Stephen Miller on “Send Her Back” chant:

“All the ppl in that audience & millions of patriotic Americans...are tired of being beat up, condescended to...talked down to by members of Congress...& their allies in many quarters of the media.”
Stephen Miller on people calling the President a "racist":

"I think the term 'racist' has become a label that is too often deployed by the Left, Democrats in this country, simply to try to silence & punish & suppress ppl they disagree with, speech that don't want to hear."
Stephen Miller on AOC & the "Squad":

"These 4 Congresswomen detest America as it is currently constructed...they want it to be a socialist, open borders country. If you, as @realDonaldTrump says, want to destroy America with Open Borders, you cannot say you love your country."

1) Time to teach y'all a little something about strategery.

The art of winning by destroying your opponent's ability to win.
2) Let's start with something simple.

The AOC #Squad vs Pelosi.

Pretty clear fight. Ideological split, Dem civil war, all that fun shit.

3) But... the election is over a year away. What happens if either side wins the Dem civil war? They'll be united under that common banner by the time the election rolls around.

There have been dozens of Q drops about seeing the events happening in the world today is like watching a movie. There are actors and a script and foreseeable events predicted. What does that truly mean?
