Waiting for @nytimes to write a piece on Bernie Sanders and the epidemic of white men failing up. He graduated college then immediately moved to lily white Vermont, bought land w/ his inheritance $, and didn’t work for 17 years until winning mayor by 10 votes. He was 39.
When Bernie graduated college, only 10% of white men had a BA Degree. It was prestigious. He chose not to use it and chose not to work. He even had a child w/ his GF, they broke up, and he left the financial burden on her. She was a single mom on welfare.

1/ Why are Sanders & Trump supporters so abusive online? You can thank Steve Bannon, the mastermind of this political strategy in the digital era.
Before politics, he was in the online gaming industry. Then💡! Bannon: “These guys, these rootless, white males, had monster power.”
2/ Long story short, an army of angry guys felt they were being cheated in “World of Warcraft” and they forced the game to restructure and change its rules.
Well, well, well. Bannon discovered the internet was “populated by millions of intense young men.” The Potential!

Bernie’s taxes are fucked up. Some examples:
2018, 2017, 2016, 2015, 2013= All were edited/revised in the box that asks for your self employment income to determine additional taxes owed 😬😬
2014, 2011, 2009= Not full returns, and almost all years are missing attachments
Bernie’s taxes are fucked up. CONT
2013: Jane’s “small antique business” had $3,832 in gross sales, but a net profit of -$938 bc she wrote off a bunch of meals (no taxes owed on negative income)
2012: $5,300 rental income but negative -$25,256 in rental expenses? 😬 Yikes!

DAMN 🔥 Today was the first time I heard #ElizabethWarren’s speech after the 2018 midterms and I’m about to throw her all of my money!
“Let’s make sure that nobody rewrites history. This resistance began with women and it’s being led by women.”
I need that on a shirt.
“Two years ago on a very dark election night, millions of women watched in horror as Donald Trump was elected President. They didn’t like it.
But they didn’t whimper. They didn’t whine. THEY FOUGHT BACK!”
This 2018 midterm speech is everything 🙌🏻 #Warren2020
