45/ WTF? @CIA Bryan Dean Wright fearmongering against #Progressives - "Who is attacking us? Its #Antifa... These are ppl that we faced back in 60's, 70's & early 80's. These are ppl who are far Leftists... took many yrs to finally put it down. Now this same group who's allied.. "
He then talks of arming themselves against this "BernieBros threat" - vigilante justice - "It's you & me & everyone watching this program arming OURselves."
#GeorgeFloydProtests are addressing a part of this, yet vocal rightwing ppl are calling protests riots, ignoring our own American #Revolution protests.
50/ W/ numerous receipts of #Kasich anti-#Democratic principles, the articles of how far away from #Democracy@TheDemocrats@DNC have shifted to the Right, will start rolling out to remind the PUBLIC.
52/ "@DNC committee released draft platform that didn't incl support for #MedicareForAll or other top #Progressive priorities such as jobs guarantee or #GreenNewDeal, despite Sanders aides’ efforts to incl them as planks."
54/ Bill Clinton at Lewis' funeral, after listing who all he thanks for #DNCFuckery coup, "Who I really thank, w/ the stroke of a hand, ending an intra-family fight within our Party (laughs)."
Fuck Clinton & #Neoliberal modern slavery horse he rode in on.
58/ I'm voting for integrity, for humanity, for equality and our planet. @wirelesshogan
59/ @AOC used her limited 60 seconds at the #DNC2020convention to second the nomination for Bernie Sanders for President.
60/ @TheNomikiShow interview with @NicholsUprising on "The Fight for the Soul of the Democratic Party, and the long struggle of progressives to get the party to embrace an economic/social/racial justice agenda."
61/ "@DNC’s brokenness allows members of the party establishment to remain in power, and control the platform and elections for the benefit of the #RulingClass.
62/ "In wks since committee mtgs, I've been asked why @TheDemocrats make decisions that harm their ability to grow their base, undermining public’s confidence in party... as #Progressive, I must conclude Dems aren't attempting to expand — merely want votes to maintain status quo.
63/ "We need independent networks like @RealTimBlack
and #Progressive organizations and individuals to come together and form a pact." @ninaturner
64/ "Dems committed to CW & Truman’s 'loyalty order' investigating feds, kicked off what'd develop into McCarthyism. By 1947 Dems made it clear - principled defenders of civil liberties or opponents of foreign policy weren't welcome w/in its coalition." jacobinmag.com/2020/09/henry-…
65/ "Real change, will only come by sustained acts of civil disobedience & mass mobilization, as w/ yellow vests mvmt in France & British-based Extinction Rebellion. The longer we are fooled by electoral burlesque, the more disempowered we will become."
66/ #Break2PartyGrip

68/ Progressive Potential #DemFuckery connections overview video, based on this thread.
Discussion we need to have
Had flu while recording & tried to shorten pauses to shave time, so bear w/ me not putting out more professional vid w/ time constraints.
"Without vision, we get trapped into grievance thinking.
If you believe a fundamentally flawed system can be reformed, all that will set in is disappointment & all you’ll have left are complaints."
70/ Answer is, 'Yes'. Politically, Biden is in same quadrant as Trump.
"This raises important questions heading into election: Is a moderate male candidate a bait-&-switch for Democratic voters? Are they actually casting their votes for a conservative?"
71/ Biden is in same political quadrant as Trump - Right/Authoritarian. Biden's even closer to Trump politically, than he is Left Sanders, who is actually closer to center. When Biden says, he is 'Democratic Party' - take a good look at where the majority of candidates are...🤨
72/ How The @DNC Hired CrowdStrike to Frame Russia for the Hack (more appropriately worded - internal leak copied on data storage device covered up- not hack).
"They (CIA) knew DNC was conducting false Russian flag operation against the Trump campaign."
For those paying attention from beginning, many of these details are not new.
"Reasonable inference is @DNC was trying to frame Russia & FBI & intelligence agencies were going along w/ scheme bc of political pressure.
Those who assert it's a 'conspiracy theory' to say...
74/ ...CrowdStrike would fabricate results of computer forensic testing to create false Russian flag should know it was caught doing exactly that around time it was inspecting @DNC computers... If you wanted to fabricate Russian hack...in 2016, CrowdStrike was who you hired."
75/ See Russia fearmongering diversion pattern here?
"CrowdStrike President Shawn Henry, who led team that remediated DNC breach & blamed Russia for hacking, previously served as assistant director at FBI under Robert Mueller. Since Jun 2015, Henry...⬇️
76/ ...worked as analyst at MSNBC, has promoted debunked Trump-Russia innuendo more than any other outlet...w/ her new investment in CrowdStrike, Pelosi, highest-ranking elected official of party that's promoted Russiagate above all else, is already profiting from its success."
77/ "Dangerous role played by fascist right in league w/ police makes the cowardly response of #DemocraticParty all the more politically criminal...
Trump’s threat to remain in power is a deliberate fascist strategy, one w/out precedent in US history...
78/ ... backed by substantial sections of the police & repressive state apparatus... The #Democrats’ greatest fear is that 'chaos' in the form of social opposition from below will escape their control and threaten the long-term interests of Wall Street and American imperialism."
80/ Just a reminder, both Biden & Harris are upper Right & authoritarian politically.
Since this election campaign, Biden has moved further Right & authoritarian -closer to Trump.
BTW, Kasich, being considered for Biden admin, is way the fuck up there next to Trump.
81/ "Lincoln Project grift, breaking down the election results"
➡️Trump INCREASED his GOP vote share by average of 3.25% in states where the GOP @ProjectLincoln
ran their ads. The national average was 3%.
➡️Every GOP senator LP ran ads against, won.
82/ #BlackLivesMatter
& other #Protests -
"They had other means in mind to corral the mass hatred of society’s systemic racism into safe channels. The #DemocraticParty, the 'historic graveyard of social movements,' was and remains their first choice."
83/ cont...
"Biden was chosen for the VP slot when he was Obama’s running mate due to his established skills in aligning to the #DemocraticParty the same Southern racist bigots, today disguised with labels like 'conservative' or '#Centrist' or 'Blue Dog' Democrats." 🤮
84/ The Great Reset & Build Back Better - Neoliberalism's new game plan - Biden is a player.

@thenation "Official measure of poverty (1964) doesn’t take into acct household expenses: health care, child care, housing & transportation... As poverty's grown & spread, political weapons of politicians & ruling elite over past decades has been to minimize, dismiss & racialize it."
@thenation "Core govt functions have been turned over to private sector & free market. Levels of poverty & inequality now outmatch those seen in Gilded Age. This laid groundwork for rapid spread of death & disease via #COVID19 pandemic's disproportionate impact on poor ppl & ppl of color."
@thenation "After Katrina... One state legislator was overheard telling lobbyists, 'We finally cleaned out public housing in New Orleans. We couldn’t do it, but God did.'
It hardly takes a stretch of the imagination to envision similar braggadocio in the post-#coronavirus era.
While Corbyn & Sanders have some similarities, they are not same, nor are UK & US the same: Brexit & antisemitic attacks against Corbyn are 2 examples.
2/ trying to leverage loss against #Bernie2020. Ppl compared the 2 campaigns. As Labour votes declined last night, some quickly piggybacked that #Bernie2020 & Left values were not viable.
I watched as Berners became heartbroken, worried Labor loss would infect U.S. momentum...
3/ UK Labour loss is similar to our 2016 Dem Primary & election loss.
We need to focus on #Progressive ground game here in U.S. Don't listen to corp #MSM pundits w/ contrived polls throwing pasta at wall hoping anyone but #Bernie2020 sticks & corporate "manufacturing consent",
@BernieSanders@DWStweets 16/
In last 3 days, 3 Dems have withdrawn from Dem primary race - Sestak, Bullock & Harris today. Is this an attempt by DNC to focus attention to another #Neoliberal Dem or possibly usher in another? Cause they are certainly not going to throw in the towel against @BernieSanders.
