The American Fascist Party– AFP (AKA the Republican Party) wants to take us back to the Robber Baron Fascist era. We need to fix our rickety voting & election structure, or we’ll lose our Democracy like the GOP wants.
WaPo➔washingtonpost.com/opinions/the-u…
We need “a top-to-bottom review of how [we] conduct elections, count votes & assure the public of the democracy’s health…and resist those who want to restrict voting, trash legitimate ballots & leverage positions of trust to upend valid results.”
WaPo➔washingtonpost.com/opinions/the-u…
Congress succumbed to the fascistic South in 1876 & threw Black citizenship under the bus for another 85 years. Maybe we should allow Southern states to secede & get the AFP out of our Democracy? Bye bye, Bama, Texass & Supremacist Carolina!! history.com/news/reconstru…
“Nazis [Fascists] have not disappeared, they’ve simply said they’re not Nazis.”

Bernie – DOWN 19 Pts ⇩
“Pay no attention to Bernie’s DROP in the popular vote from 2016 to 2020”– @ChrisLHayes

“Pay no attention to Bernie’s DROP in the popular vote from 2016 to 2020”– @Maddow
@chrislhayes@AriMelber@maddow#DropOutBernie So far you’re down 19pts from 2016. That tells you, you can’t win. You only have some 24% of the 28% registered Dems in America (8% of the electorate). That means the other 92% of America isn’t buying socialism. Give it up, so real Dems can beat Trump.
A vote against Bernie is a vote against Bernie. SC Primary had a 42% increase of some 156,000 new voters. Bernie only got 5% of them - only 8,500 voters. California will be the same story, relatively speaking. Bernie had 46% there in 2016. More people hate him now, than then.
#TheDNCIsUs. It’s not a secret society.
WE voted on its members. WE are registered Democrats. If you’re NOT a registered Democrat, like Bernie is not, then you didn’t get to vote for members of the DNC. That’s on YOU. You have no right to complain, so please STFU!
#TheDNCIsUs. It's not a secret society.
If you went to your County Dem meetings then you got to vote for County officers who vote on 2 DNC members (Chair & Vice Chair) from each State, who then vote on some 200 other members apportioned by population across the U.S.
.#TheDNCIsUs. It’s not a secret society.
Trump & Bernie want you to think the DNC is the enemy. It’s not. It’s members were voted on & are representatives of some 28% of the electorate who are registered Democrats. That’s “Representative Democracy” NOT "Democratic Establishment."
. #OnlyBernie with his tiny slice of the electorate (27% of the 30% who vote in Dem primaries) thinks he can get the other 90% of America to vote for a Socialist.
REALITY CHECK: 67% of America has a problem with a Socialist as a candidate. (NBC/WSJ poll 2/18/20).
.#OnlyBernie defines Socialism POLL:
Marx; “The stage following capitalism in the transition of society to communism”
QUESTION: If Dems nominate Bernie in July, how much of a campaign timeout will the GOP give, so Bernie can teach America his definition:
.#NVCaucuses
“Is Socialism a problem as a label? Of course it is!” – @AmyKlobuchar, while all the other candidates were afraid to tell the truth.
Text “AMY” to 91990 to keep Dems from losing the House, Senate & White House by nominating avowed Socialist Bernie.
@AmyKlobuchar asks Buttigieg if we want a leader in the White House, or someone who watches cartoons when impeachment work gets “exhausting”. #WhenTheGoingGetsTough
@amyklobuchar “No. I didn’t know the President. But he knew me.”
“Something else insidious is going on..systematic racism when it comes to voting.” I'm "leading on these bills to automatically register every kid to vote in this country when they turn 18”– @AmyKlobuchar
I'll just put this right here. Kamala Harris should have stayed in, but it looks like the white states, and especially the Iowa Mosh Pit caucus groupies, get to decide who survives. "Biden's Campaign has a Problem & it Starts with the Candidate." washingtonpost.com/politics/joe-b…
"Biden has been a lackluster advocate for his own candidacy, and the weakness of that advocacy was an unwelcome element of his campaign."
"His candidacy has lacked a spark of enthusiasm, whether that’s defined as vision or energy or fight."
"At rallies, he lacked focus and sometimes appeared distracted, interrupting himself with asides or random thoughts."
GOP Senators “have signaled they intend to uphold Trump’s unprecedented decision to block all of this material. But...they don’t get to make that choice– Justice Roberts does.” AND, “it would take a ⅔ rds vote” NOT 51 “of the Senate to overrule that.” nytimes.com/2020/01/27/opi…
