I am once again asking all of you fighting each other to cut the bullshit out. ✋😤🤚
You aren't achieving anything by fighting each other, and I'd like to disabuse you of the notion that you're somehow able to tell the good comrades from the bad singularly by their reactions to or "takes" on events and political developments or strategies.
Don't be a fucking puppet, don't be a reactionary weirdo, don't put words in others' mouths, try listening to each other, practice moving the fuck on if you don't agree with something. You can do it.
Other leftists aren't what you need to be fighting against.
*reactionary isn't the right word here, haha - overreacting

Engagement on here is fun and so are these little viral participation games, but many of them are also loaded with prompts for personal info. Some are a little more innocuous and some are as obvious as this:
Still others prompt you for your initials, your DOB, your age, match them to [X, X] and get your furry pornstar skater president name! 🙃
The thing is, even if one particular game doesn't yield enough info to identify you, the data you give over time can be used in *synthesis*.
@bourgeoisalien Here is what I'd say, and it might take a couple tweets.
-they have been *actively* cultivating defeatism as a tactic for the last few days: giant waves of paid trolls, media narratives, obviously ignoring the extremely broken conditions that led to an illegitimate primary -
@bourgeoisalien - and ignoring the fact that Biden's campaign did NOTHING to get these "wins."
-it's also only a difference of a few hundred delegates, states still counting, and it's possible after a campaign to get 70k WA rejected ballots back, we could win WA back.
@bourgeoisalien -part of what I see as the path back is fighting hard to uncover the corruption, massive exit poll discrepancies and very apparent fraud. We don't have to accept these results. We can fight back hard, we can get sympathetic media to point all this out, we can campaign to win.
@alexis_krieg@sheanecheles@SarafinaChitika@McKenzieAWilson@heyitscinds@eng_adrian There are no snake emojis in there, that I've seen. However, there is bigotry, racial slurs, anti-Semitism, sexism, threats, laughing at Bernie supporters' misfortune, falsely exploiting a Bernie supporter's sexual assault, celebrating Bernie's heart attack, and much worse.
@alexis_krieg@sheanecheles@SarafinaChitika@McKenzieAWilson@heyitscinds@eng_adrian I'm sorry for any vile tweets your staffers had to deal with, but does any of it approach the level of what you can find in there? Please answer that, and tell me why the Warren campaign has pushed the false narrative that harassment is something unique to Bernie supporters,
In the middle of a virulent, deadly rise in anti-Semitism, @chucktodd and @HardballChris have both recently made false anti-Semitic allusions and comparisons regarding Bernie Sanders and his supporters, comparing them to nazis. This is a danger to us.
Both of them must be fired.
I see people joking about it, and yes, pundits and media personalities are all melting down, but these comparisons and the direction they're taking against our movement is incredibly dangerous. We all need to push to get them both off the air, and to put a stop to this.
Our movement is surging, but so is an actual fascist movement on the right, and a lot of people in the center have been signaling they'd rather move right than let us win. We have to take this seriously, and we have to take what the media does and says seriously -
a super thread of examples of harassment, racist and sexist remarks, threats, and all-around horrid behavior directed at Bernie supporters and surrogates
I know there are other threads like this out there, please quote them in replies if you have any
Another super thread of disgusting and bigoted behavior directed at Bernie supporters. Most of these are unique, there are some examples from the first thread.
