Unlike Bernie Sanders, Hillary Clinton actually elevates toxic, abusive, antisemitic online behavior. And yet she has the audacity to talk about Bernie Bros? The woman she tweets here tweeted out a list of "progressives" who may go through some things pretty soon... " 1/
When people responded, she played the victim, as if she weren't engaged in the exact "toxic" & "abusive" behavior she & #khive project onto Sanders supporters. But she's mild compared to other trolls Hillary has elevated, thanked, corresponded with & had her photo taken with 2/
Here's Hillary posing w/ abusive troll Mr. Dane, to whom she wrote him in a signed letter: "I want to thank you for your very vocal & enthusiastic support of me on social media." He's called Sanders a "fake fucking Jew" who should got ""f*cked w/ no lube by an infected d*ck"
Feel free to peruse the abusive cult Hillary & Kamala Harris promote because they have no moral compass and couldn't care less about abuse. I mean, one of them is married to Bill Clinton & the other one did a "girl's empowerment" even with him.
Neera Tanden is a mean girl bully who signal boosts, hangs out with and is friends with people who call young girls with Down Syndrome "sluts," call Bernie Sanders a "fake fucking Jew," and call Muslim-American women terrorists.
It's also worth noting that she punched her subordinate in the chest. She cites growing up in Section 8 Housing as qualifying "lived experience," which it would be if it inspired her to fight *for* the programs from which she benefited. But she weaponizes it to fight *against*...
them & to deprive others who haven't made it out of poverty the way she has. She's explicitly said she was "excited" about cutting "entitlements" like social security. She told Hillary Clinton not to "sweat" the $15 minimum wage movement. She advocated taking oil from...
dangerous. And there are times for lines in the sand. And different people play different roles and have different lanes. And there has been demonization, mischaracterization and divisiveness that we really can't afford right now. I know I'm supposed to craft the perfect tweet...
and until then lay low or whatever but I don't care. And I know that this is just twitter and people are dying and who cares about the online Left or the media Left when people are dying. But these things have real life effects. So I say this while knowing that I exist in a...
position of privilege. But I have to say that people can disagree about things on a strategic, tactical, moral and ethical level. And the people on one side aren't all conspiracy theorist "asadists" who don't understand politics; and the people on the other side are not all...
Hi Left media: a lot of us disagree on stuff & have been fighting with each other but I think we can all either pause that or, if necessary, do that while talking about Julian Assange being given what amounts to a death sentence right now. Because that's really not civil.
#FreeAssange. Who's with me? Speaking of which, shout out to the literal handful of journalists who have been covering this story. I had excellent journalists on my show to talk about this but I should have had an update on the case every week, honestly, looking back. Please...
Whoops. This got cut off. Please follow the journalists covering this.
Thanks! This sounds like something that needs to be pushed for at the same time. But in the midst of a pandemic #MedicareForAll is uniquely useful as a tool of political theater. People dismiss #ForceTheVote as 'performative' as if that's a weakness...
and not a strength & intentional part of it & something that has been used historically to shift the conversation / Overton Window & make concrete changes. Given the enormous documented popularity of #m4a, watching politicians vote against it has the drama that watching...
... politicians vote against a green energy jobs bill, which is just as important as #m4a, lacks. This doesn't apply to you Adam but a lot of critics of the force the vote are doing this unhelpful scolding of people who are getting excited about #ForceTheVote as not serious...
This is such an important point & it needs to be said again & again because it applies especially to people who aren't already in the movement. Many people who already are in the movement either professionally or out of political commitment may not need the enjoyment factor as...
much bc they they're already involved. Enjoyable tactics does prevent burnout among organizers and activists so it's important for them too. Ironically, there's a lot of self-indulgent scolding of people who aren't "doing the work," or knocking on doors or keeping their eyes...
on the prize. But people have different roles, obviously. I need to have Jane McAlevey @rsgexp & @joshkahnrussell on ASAP i guess.
Here's a list of phrases or words, which are either utterly irrelevant or actual lies, which centrists use against people on the Left bc they can't engage in any substantive critique:
"You're a trust fund kid"
"You're MAGA"
"You throw People of Color Under The Bus" (which...
... they absolutely never have single thing to point to.)
"You went to private school!"
"You're a failed [insert job or hobby]"
"you're a white Bernie Bro"
if pointed out that the person isn't even white or a man, the response will be either silence or some weird...
quasi-eugenicist classification like "you're white adjacent Bro fodder."
"You wanted to Trump to win."
"You like Trump."
"This was always about Trump for you."
"Bernie voted for the Crime Bill!" [there are honest arguments to be made against Bernie. Pretending that 1. writing...
