1/There’s a lot of stuff here that contradicts a lot of what they’ve been saying re: COVID the last few months. I get the measures being mentioned, but they were all strutting just the other day like they had conquered COVID. A lot of this is empty rhetoric, unfortunately.

2/While a lot of what is being said above is rather empty by most standards, it doesn’t make preventive measures any less effective. Wearing KN95 masks, getting vaccinated [now available to kids], and occasional testing are important. We all have that responsibility. COVID sucks.

Between August 2009 and January 2010, during @BarackObama's first year as President of the United States, Democrats held a 60-40 advantage in the U.S. Senate (when counting two independents, they being Bernie Sanders and--buerk—Joe Lieberman). Did they do it then? Nope.

Did they pass the #DREAMAct? Nope. Six Senate Dems killed it.

Did they pass any federal minimum wage increases? Nope. The last one was signed into law (by George W. Bush) in 2007.

Did they pass health care reform with a public option? Nope. They let Lieberman kill it pre-vote.

Good morning. Enough w/this false theory that angry @BernieSanders supporters tanked the 2016 election for Hillary Clinton.

He did everything he could to make sure she won in November, and I’ll explain why, putting on my @briebriejoy hat on for a moment.

THREAD: 2/When Obama clinched the nomination over Hillary in 2008, Hillary went on to do about 12-ish events for him between then and Election Day.

Nevertheless, about 25% of her voters went and voted for McCain. Obama still managed to win in an electoral landslide on 04 November 2008.
